IL Hear what the merry SAKE says OF a model
husband
saw a model husband in 8 dream.
Where things are not exactly what they seem;
a moral ma1, to skcptics be 1t known;
Tho wife he loved and cherished was-his own;
And for the tsst-I saw the husband wait
With horse and chaise Ave minutes at the gate
While Jane put on her :hinFS or spt ak one sour
IIT bitter word. though waiting half an hour
For dinner and like patience on a throne,
lie didn't Stc-dr to find button gone.

THE Z0UAVE JACKET.

The Zouave jpcket still rcigns triumphant in
the fashionable world. Those of velvet will
give place to materials of lighter texture. They
are now being made in tafietas, also in cashmere
of different colors-princlpaly China bue, vio-
let, and white. The colors used Cor those of
tatietas are, blue, white, rose, maze, and any
one OF the Ii litter shades, so that it harmonizes
with the rest of the toilet. The black taffetas
Louave is always simple and pretty, and has the
advantage of being quite free from any eccen-
tric'y OF appearance. The jackets are no long
ei quilted, but simply lined with tafetas OF a
contrasting shade Thus the black or white,
with colored sk--the colored with white. The
lining is bordered with narrow ruche of the
same color, generally placed so that it shows
little beyond the edge, and the outside has
trimming OF narrow guipure round it which
falls over the ruche. The embroderies of gold
or silver give to these more particular style,
which many ladies do not admire. A little la
ter in the season we shall find them made in
musli:., for summer dresses. We even row
meet with them in lace for soires or for dinner
dress. Round the foundation, which is gener.
ally of tulle is broad lace falling over the
dress, forming founce, or ruche. The sleeves
are made very large, and opened up, and trim.

SoNSlcu' iHc ioluWlllS is description OF u
Zouave jacket, made for full dress, for a lady
somewhat advanced in years for whom it was
particularly becoming 1t was of white MORE
antique made low behind, and very open in
front, SO as to show the whole of the stomacher.
The sleeves were open, back and front, and
laced with gold cord. The under-seeves were
very bouiHoHnees, and trimmed with rosettes of
ribbon, matching the color of the dress. The
jacket was braided with thick white silk braid
and gold fiat braid, in bows, one over the other.
Altogether, this had charming effect. Morn
ing dresses are still worn with closed high bod
les, and trimmed with ruches; but for demi-
toilettes, some wear them open in 'front.' but
not far down. Skirts continue to be trimmed
with a number of narrow founces, or with
wide one having several narrow as heading.
A rather more novel style of trimming is that
of narrow founces, parted at the bottom of the
skirt, and taken up to the waist between each
breadth. In taifetas of rather deep shade,
this looks very well.-Le Toilet.

his royal sisterp how better have won her
woman's heart A few days since the Emperor
of France, while in conversation with the Am
hassadress from the Court of Victoria, noticed
the absence Of the betrotha ring from among
the tiny circlets that sparkled upon her Jew
elled fingers, and drew her attention to the
hand of the Empress upon which, according to
the fashion in France, one was worn. On La
dy Cowley answering that this was not CUSTOM
aryi the English world, the Emperor remarked
that since Lord Cowley had spent so much time
in France, he should have introduced the fash
ion into the court of her Majesty "Pernit
me" he continued, "to supply the omission"
And he drew forth from its case ring consist
ing OF triplet hoop ornamented with the finest
diamonds-a present worthy the generosity of
monar b. "'rhe first" he said, "is to supply
the omission Of Lord Cowley the second is
token of my personal regard the third is
pledge of the eternal amity of France and Eng
land" We don't wonder that all the English
girls are Napoleonists!

DOUGLAS lLLrsTRATED.-A story is on its

party, in playing game of forfeis, green,
gawky young man was judged ITO make crows

it. Greeny protested he didn't know how. I
will show you, says the judge. Just step this

IN times through the back of the chair. Ac-
cording to instructions, he knelt down and made
desperate lunge at he ady's face through the
chair-back, but was doomed to defeat by the
lady moving quickly aside But he was deter
mined not to be foed in this manner, and tried
repeatedly TO reach the lady's face with his lips,
which were protruded to their utmost capacity
but as she constantly evaded him, he became
discouraged at last, and got up, and was max
ing tracks to his seat when the Judge interrupt
ed him with, "You did not pay your forfeit, sir.
told you to put seven eggs in the nest, and
you have not put in one." "I-I tried to-" he

THE OLD CuIMNEY-PLACE.

A stack Of stones dngy wall,
Ger which the brambes cling and creep,
a path on which no shadows fall,
doorstep where long dock LEAVES sleep,
a broken rnfter in tic grass,
A sunkcn hearth stone, stained and cold,
Naugt left but these fair home, alas
And the dear IN mores Of old.
Around this hearth, this sacred place,
All hubble household virtues crew.
The grandsire's love, the mniden's grace,
The mut on's instincts, deep and true.
Here first sweet words were sped; here broke
Liie's morning dream, and yet more dear,
The love that lile's best impulse woke,
Grew warmer, gentler, year by year.
How cheerful, while the storm without
Muiiled the earth and iced the night,
The nddv glow gu-hed laughing out,
On merry groups and faces bright
How chined the cracking, irenkish fame
With rosy mirih or thoughtful euse,
Or may be, syllaGed the name
Of one rocked DER the shivering seas.
What fairy scenes what golden lands,
What pagants Of romantic pride,
In the weird deep Of glowing brands,
Saw the fair boy, the dreamy-eyed
TIL, musng here, his spirit drew
Strong Inspiration, and his years,
By Bcuuty's subtle nurture, knew
The paths of Natures inner spheres.
Here, as the swooning embers sent
A faint flush through the quiet bloom,
In the warm hush have lovers blcnt
The fragrance Of their hearts fresh toom
Aud, vel ing in soft dropping eyes
Her tremulous joy, here blusled the bride;
Here, DER pale forms in funeral guisc,
furcwels from broken hearts were sighed.
This spot the p'lgrim meath strange skies,
saw in his wuyside dream; here stood
Old friends with gla,uess in their eyes;
Here grew the beautiful and good
Sweet Irendships-fnith serene and sBre4-
Mnrhood's strong purpose, warm and bold
Courage 10 labor and endure,
And household feelings never cold.
Here, leaning in the twilight dim
All around me seems n haunted air;
hear the old familiar hymn,
My he Irt goes upward in the PRAYER
That male the night so full of peace;
Kind lips are on my brow--my ear
HUNS with sweet sounds-thev fiint--they cease
Aud night DER all broods calm and clear.
