There arc some changes in tho fashions and
thew arc generally considered for the better.
.Bonne,s arc larger, by several degrees,
than they have hitherto been. They resemble
in shane the cottage bonnet worn years ago,
only that the front docs not set quite 30 close
TO tho face. The last years fashion ran oil
tho hack of the head-this year it threatens
to run quito over the eyes. The front pro-
iects nicely over the top of the head, yet
stands out sufficiently from tho face to
enable lady to dress her hair rs she may
like. The cap, or soft crown, seems to be q
great fayoritc, but plain ones arc much worn;
Rich flowcrsand illusions will be largely used
in trimming.
There is not such uniformity in the shape
of the crown ms in that of the front; for the
fat crown still holds its place. The full
ruchc is decidedly out Of fashion, but side
ruches arc still seen, though 30 scant and
curtailed that their character Is changed.
They are not now face trimmings, but
rather framc In which the trimming Is set.

Is n ueyelty in tho form Of barbcs or lappets,
very long and wide, floating on each side,
and formed of crape or talle of tho same color
as the hat, and edged with delicate blonde.
The Modistes do not propose any very strik-
ing changes. In Spring silks both tho plain

Odd Hints for April.

As hay and straw will become dfied, with
tho progress of the season, the supply should
be little increased, fer feeding stock, and
tho quantity of roots diminished. -~
Grass.lands which failed to receive their
dressing of compost last Fall, may be attend
ed to now, before the ground becomes soft.
The manure dropped during thcwinter around
hay stacks in meadows, should DO cleaned up
and carted away on sleds before Spring opens:
II left until May, the grass will bc badly in
jured, ifnot killed. Dry meadows will tako
It kindly II you give them bushel or two of
plaster, or few bushels of limo, or lcached
ashes, to tho acre, and Winter grain, which
got no plaster ut sowing time, may well have
It early this Spring.
Fruit trees exhaust tho ground Of It's need
full clements, and should bo manured littlo
every year. A compost Of chip-dirt and
barn manure low spread over tho orchard,
will help the grass and the trees themselves.
Watcr-courses which arc allowed 10 now
over moving lands should bc frequently
changed, 70 that all parts Of the field may
get benefit tSom the irrigation, and tho graes
in no part become rank and uneven. Now,
or rs soon ms tho frost Is out Of tho ground,
this should be attended to.
II any dead animals-cats, lambs, dogs,
calves, COWS, horses, etc.-haye accumulated
around the premises during tho winter, now
is the time to dispose Of them. Instead OF
being hauled into some retired spot, to decay
above the ground and gil tho air with noIious
smells, they should be taken to some unoccu-
pied corner ola field and covered with six or
eight inches of soil: this will not only obvi-
ate unpleasant effluvia, but will contribute
largely to the manurc.hcap. 20.
Now Is the time TO look alter seeds, II they
have not been already provided. Let every
article bc the best Of its hind, II good crops
arc cxpcctcds The garden should not bs for
gotten. Peas, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, rad
ishes, and the like, should DO provided for
before the hurrying season comes.
Now, split rails, and stack them whcro
they will dry well. If they arc not wanted
imincdiatelyon tho fences. Look well to oil
the fi,rm-gates, and bar posts; let none be
out of repair after this month. A broken
fence often costs about tho value Of crop.

PooR SARMNG.-The following hints upon
poor farming are capital. and deserve to bC
read attcntiyely; for we think we can point
to good many planters in our own midst
who have pursued one or more of the plans
laid down, and whose plantations bear ample
testimony to the fact that they have succeed
ed admirably in this, their selfadoptcd mode
of cultivation.
The first hint as laid down by the Spring.
feld Republican, in order to secure poor
farm, is to invest all your capital in land,
and run in debt for more.
2i. Borrow money to stock your farm.
81. Have no faith in your own business,
and be always ready to sell out
18th. Buy mean cows, spawned horses,
poor oxen and cheap tools.
5th. Give your cattle poor proyender in
order to keep them tame. Fiery cattle are
terrible hard on old, rickety wagons and
plows.
9th. BE cautious in the manufacture of
manures. Itmakcs the fields look black and
mourniul about planting time; besides, it is
n good deal Of work to haul IL.
9TH. Never waste time il setting out fruit
and shade trees. Fruit and leaves rotting
around place make it unhealthy.
Advice gratis.-The more closely you fol-
low the above hints, the nearer will you
approximate having an absolute no account
farm. But there is no money in the expert
ment. so don't try it.

The snow, together with tho rain, had
torn the whole side Of the mountain out,
and eternity itself seemed spread out before
us. Tho widow Graf and her children had
found It out. and had brought light brush
from their homo below, and built large frcs
to warn Us of our danger. They had been
there two hours, watching beside that bea:
CON of safety. As went up where the old
lady and children stood, drcnchcd through

arm and cried: !,
"Thank God !! Mr.. Sherbourn, we stopped

ance from most terrible death, and called
down blessings innumerablo upon that good
old woman and her children. Near by stood
the engineer, frcmcn and bmkesmen, tho
tears streaming down their bronzed cheeks.
Immediately prevailed upon Mrs. Graft
and tho children to 60 back into tho cars
out Of The storm and cold. Alter reaching
the cars, related our hair breadth escape,
and to whom wo were indebted for our lives,
and begged tho men passengers to 60 forward
and see for themselves. They needed no fur
ther urging, and great many ladies went
also, regardless of the storm. They soon
returned, and their pale faces gave full evi-
dence of tho frightfll death VIC had escaped.
The ladies and gentlemen wed with each
other in their thanks and heartfelt gratitude
towards Mrs. Graf and her children, and
assured her that they would never, never for
get her, and before tho widow left the train
she was presented with purse Of four hun
dred and sixty dollars, the voluntary offering
of whole train Of grateful pascngcn.-
She refused the proHcred gift for some time,
and said she had only done her duty, and tho
knowledge of having done 10 was oil the re-
ward she asked. However. she finally ac-
ccpted tho money, and said 1t should 80 to
educate her children. ......... ...-
The railroad company built her new
house, gave her and her children life-pass
over the road, and ordered all trains to stop
to let her of at home when she wished. But
tho employees needed no such orders, they
can appreciate all such Ambassadors 30
than the directors themselves. r,
The old lady frequently visits my homo at
Il, and she Is at oil times q welcome
visitor ut my 6residc. Two of tho children
are attending school at the same place.
So you may SEQ that little kindness cost
me nothing and saved my life.
