How Ladies' Should Dress.

We find in AH The Year Round. the
following views expressed in regard to
ladies' dress
"As you look from your windows in
Paris, observe the first fifty women who
pass forty have noses depressed in the
middle, small quantity Of dark hair,
and a swarthy complexion, but then what
a'toilet Not only suitable for the season,
but the age and complexion Of the wearer.
How neat the feet and hands How well
the clothes are put on, and, more than
all, how well they sui! each other
Before English women can dress per-
ftcAy, they must have the taste of the
French, especially in color. One reason
whv we see colcrs i'll arranged in Eng
land, is, th at the different articles are pur-
chased each for its own imagined virtues,
and without any thought Of what is 10 be
worn with it. Women, while shopping,
buy what pleases the eye on the counter,
TO, getting what they have at home
That psrasol is pretty, but 1t will kill, by
its color, one dress in the buyers ward
robe, anG be unsuitable for the others.
To be msgnifcently dressed costs money |;
but to be dressed with taste is not expen-
sive. -.... -.....
Itreqrires good taste, knowledge and
refinement. Never buy an article unless
i, is suitable 10 your age, habit. style, and
the rest Of your wardrobe. Nothing is
more vulgar than to wear costly dresses
with common delane, or cheap lace
with expensive blocades.
Wha, colors, it may be asked, 60 best
together Green with violet cold with
dark crimson or lilac ; pale blue with
scarlet pink with black or white and
gray with scarlet or pink. A cold color
generally requires warm tint to give
| life TO it. Gray and pale blue, for instance,
do not combine well. both being cold col
ors. White and black are safe wear, bat
the latter is not favorable 10 dark or pale
compilations. Pink is to some skins the
most becoming, not, however, If there Is
much color in tie cheeks and lips, and il
there be even a suspicion of red in either
hair or complexion. Peach color is per
haps one the most elegant colors. Maize
is very becoming, particularly 10 persons
with dark hair and eyes. But whatever
the colors or materials OF the entire dress
the details are all in all the lace around
the bosom and sleeves, the howers-ir
fact, all that furnishes the dress. The
ornaments on the head must harmonize
with the dress. II trimmed with BLACK
lace some of the same should be worn on
the head, and the flowers, which are worr
in the hair, should decorate the dress.

Talleyrand and Arnold.

Thcro was day whom Talleyrand arrived
IN Havro on foot from Paris. IL was the
darkest hour of the Revolution. Pursued
by tho blood hounds of the Reign of Terror,
stripped ot evcry wreck of property, Tai
loyrand secured q passage to America in
a ship about to sail. He was beggar and
a waudorar to a strange land, to earn his
daily bread by daily labor.
is thero any American stopping at your
house :" he asked tho landlord Of the hotel.
Il an bound 10 cross tho water. and would
like letter to person Of influence in the
New World"
The landlord hcsitated a moment, and
then replied:
There is gentleman up stairs, either
from America or Britain. but whether from
America or England cannot toll"
Ho pointed tho way, and Talleyrand-
who, in his life was bishop, prince and min
ister-asconded tho stairs a miserable sup
plant, stood before the strangers door,
knocked aud entored.
In tho far corner of tho dimly-lighted
room sat man of some fifty voars, bis arms
folded, and his hoad bowed upon his breast.
From q window directly opposite flood OF
light poured upon his forehead. His eyes
looked from beneath the dOwncast brows,
and upon Taleyrand's face, with peculiar
and searching expression. His faco was
striking in outline, the mouth and chin in
dicative of an iron will. His form, vigorous
oven with the SHOWS of fifty, was clad in O
dark hut rich and distinguished costume.
Talleyrand advanced-siatec that no was
a fugitive-and the impression that tho gen
| tlemau before him was an Amcricab,-solic
| tied his kind feeling and offices.
He poured forth his history in eloquen
French and broken English.
IL am wandorer and exile. am forcct
! to fly TO tho Now World without friend o.
home. You are an American. Give me
then, / beseech you, lettor of yours, 81
that may be able to earn my bread. ! an
willing to toll in any manner--a lite oil labol
would be paradise to a career OF luxury IL
France. You will g;vo mo letter to one o
your friends A gentleman like you doubt
| less has many friends
Tho strange gentleman arose. With
look that Talleyrand never forgot, he re
treated toward tho door of tn. next cham
ber. his eyes still looking from beneath hi
darkened brow.
II am the only man of the New Worlc
who can raise his hand to God and say
havo not friend-not oDe--in all America.
Talleyrand never forgot tho oVer"helmin
sadness of look which accompanied thes
words.
"Who are you !" he cried, as tho strang
man retreated to tho next room; you
name? -
MY name" no replied, with smile tina
had moro of mockory than JOY in tho con
vulsive expression, my name is BenedIc
Arnold"
Ho was gone. TaIloyrand sank into th
chair, gasping the words:

Thus he wandered over the Garth ,anotho
Cain, with the wanderers mark upon hi
brow.

The Dead ard the Living,

Bya deep and sensitive instinct OF the
heart, we are impelled to think and speak
kindly of the dead. Therefore we should
think and speak no less kindly OF the liv-
ing. Why wait until the green turf is
laid over his breast, before we have COM
passion upoA eur erring brother Only
when be is past all sense of benefit or in
iury-alke Indifferent, we suppose, 10
harsh judgment and tender sympathy
we relent towards him. The forgiveness
of faults, the charitable construction OF
motives, which is Of so little consequence,
to him now, would have opened sweet
fountains of feeling in his bosom when he
lived. We had no mercy for him them
but now that death has taken him, VIC
stand awe e-struck, thinking he has gone to
be Judged where we shall also some day
render our account remembering now
his better qualities, which, in our old I'M
patience and anger, were all forgotten
and feeling the sorrows Of our unkindness,
Glance back from his tombstone, and
enter our own remoPseless hearts.
Alas that our trials should so oitea
make us forget that we are all brothers
that we must all sleep side by side at last !;
and that the judgments we render TO
others here shall surely be rendered
unto us again.

To the weary who wait like the rpcned grain,
For the touch of the Renper's breath.
There are flashes Of light on each lifted wave,
As it glides from the further shore,
To the shaGowy borders our tcsr.dtops lave,
In the lu!l Of the waters rour.
There ore harp strings stirred by the perfumed ur
And gushing with with melody sweet,
Like the whispered notes of child at prayer,
In the hush Of the twilight deep.
They hear the low music go solemn and grand,
And heed not the cddyiug tide,
For they ca tch elenm OF the forms that stand
BY the stream on the other side.
And we sec light on the calm white brow,
Like the glow Of the crimson MON;
But VIC see lot the lips the lids Of snow,
A II The night that we deem 50 long
And we only know when we hear no more,
As we watch for the passing breath,
That an angel is swiftly bearing them down
The banks of the River OF Death sand
Only know that their ioutstcrs oro pressing the
or the shore that their brightness lnves
And over their bosoms fresh garlaGds we lay,
And lily we twine in their hair

Those garlands und lily .huds are.

For they rest in their beauty where tears arc no

DRUpGEs, Dolls AND WoMEN.-There

tic Drudges, who are wholly taken up in
the material details of housekeeping, hus-

housekeeping is trade, and no more;
after they have done that. there is no
more that they can do. Next, there are
domestic Dolls. wholly takeH up with The
vain show which delights the eye and the

are not mere drudCes; adorn it, and are
not mere dolls, but Women. Sone ol
these-a great many OF them--conjoin the
