DEATH OF PURsER FoRBEsT.--A despatch
announcing the death of Purser Samuel For
rest, at Stauntos, has been received. MIR.
Forrest was native of the District of Co.
lumbia, but for some time resided at Staan-
ton. He was appointed Purser in the Navy
in October 1886.
He was well known in this city, where he
resided several years, and was highly respec-
ted and esteemed for his urbanity, superior
social qualities, and generous impulses OF
heart. Many who knew him well, to whom
he was endeared by strong ties, will mourn
the loss of a true-hearted and faithful
friend.

NEW BoNNErs. oracle Of fashion
writes from New York that the little bon
nets are in the last stage of totteriAg decline
therefore it is useless to comment upon the
pohes, the bristling fronts and coal scuttles
of the present style. Women have only to
make themselves as charming and tascinat-
ing as possible. The fashionable mode OF
trimming or mixing black lace in everything
is decidedly becoming to every complexion,
and white blonde certainly tones down and
softens indescrioably every style of face,
lending newer charms and briliancy to dark
eyes, and lighting up the coun.enance. The
Zouaye hat for girls is described as very
pretty and saucy-made OF pedal brad-the
edges laid over in place of being rolled up
The Adelaide hats is equally pretty for little,
demoiseles, Of the hemp and half hair braid +,
with fall OF white blonde interviewer with
white satin bugles the most coquettish lit
tie affairs yet seen.

SACnILEaE.-W have before called atten-
ton to the fact, that boys, and toe frequent
ly young men, remain in the vestibuleS Of
our churches, it would seem, as if on purpose
to show themselves to those who enter the
church for religious purposes. This is a sad
error in which such persons indulge, and be-
sides it is disgusting, to say noting of its
plebian influence. A truly upright man
locks with perfect disdsin and just contempt
upon all sach persons, whether they be men
or boys.

AN ITEM FOB YOU'VE MEN.-Marriage is
the best preventative against RIGHTEOUSNESS;
and the love and care of children double our
activity and usefulness. Woe to the land
where the difficulty of obtaining the means
to support and bring up a family induces
celibacy, or makes it prudent to delay mar
riage till the parties are advanced in life.--
Habits are engendered, tastes limb ibed. q
laxity of moral principle is often produced
that marriage, under the most favorable
auspices, will hardly be able to ovsrc ONE.
