The proaress of Fashion.

Most of our lady readers, we suppose
have smiled over the pictures of the
first French Empire of the high-bred
danes of Napoleon's Court in digot
sleeves, monstrous, head-pieces, waists
under their armpits, short clinging skirts
and deliberately wrought stockings.
Few of them, perhaps, are aware that
they are seemingly destined to wear
this very costume before they are many
years older.
Fashion moves in circle the past
always returns after an interval of
greater or less duration. The indica-
tions of a return of the fashions of 1894

to admit of any doubt, and we are in.

Extract from a sermon delivered at
the Court House on Sunday evening,
the 23d of Sept. 1860, in respect to the
late disaster Of the Lady Elgio, by Rev.
II. SLADE. Published by request of
number Of the hearers of the sermon.
ooh how feeble are all our attempts
to stay the soul in view of such a ca>
lamity, with any superficial estimate of
secondary causes. Let the materialistic
philosopher who sneers at Providence,
and worships what he calls 'the laws of
nature" try to confront the throng of
mourners whose imaginations hover
around this devoted steamer hurled
from the top of a great wave down into
a black gulf of death. Let him prove
to that heart broken widow, that des-
pairing mother, that child of hopeless
sorrow and sadness, that husband
whose soul is surging from a boundless
tenderness off into a nameless grief +,
that all this was but the result of some
evident oversight-that if one more
bolt had been clenched in the hull if
the captain had spent a year longer at
the science Of navigation if the proper
officers on watch, and upon duty, on
board OF the Augusta, had been at their
post,it would not have taken place-and
what then? Why should hundreds of
| lives be tied to such a thread as this +?
Why should the happiness of so many
homes be poised on the blow of Me-
chanics hammer or mass of treasure
and life sufficient to found quite a
flourishing little town. be periled by the
desertion of single person from duty :?
Why should man be left liable to mis-
takes and errors which hurl him within
the sweep OF these exterminating laws ?
Or since only perfect intelligence can
know all the chances ofevil why is man
left in ignorance, often not of his own
producing? Or, while these awful
forces inevitably go on crushing thous-
ands under their iron feet, why are we
endowed with sympathies that must be
lacerated by every human sorrow p
To questions like these, this shallow
mateIialism has no answer. Proud of
its little array OF science in the lecture
rooms, it shri Eks alashed before such a
portent as the Lady Elgin hurled thro'
the night towards destruction, and
leads us where all other human theo.
ries conduct us; looking towards the
Paternity of God as our only hope.
And here is the beauty of our relig.
ion; that it points us up beyond the
cloud OF materialism: and behind the
mechanism of nature; to an infinite
spirit--to God and Father. All
things are moved by that infinite spirit
So that life is not merely phenomena
1t is a lesson. Its events do not come
and go in causeless and arbitrary man
ner; but are meant for one discipline
and one good. This, say is the relig
ious view of life; and according to it
all things stream fIom Gods throne; anC

I know of nothing in the world more
melancholy than those vast solitudes
seen on a fine summers night, when
the moon, shining III the midst Of the
stars sends forth the reflections of it's
silvery light over the boundless plain.
The view is lost in a pale twilight,
without echo; a light transparent mist
hovers in the space. Scorpions, in
crawling along, make their scales creak;
large green and yellow lizards move
slowly in the burnt grass. The melo-
Idious murmuring Of the flowing was
ters is nowhere heard, nor the joyful
rustliug of the leaves. The birds, hav-
ing no branches whereon to rest, enliven
not tile air with their songs; the breeze
whispers not in the foliage; nothing
disturbs the silence of night unless it
be the monotonous crj-cri of the soil
tary cricket. This silence Expresses,
overwhelms you, like the thought of
the infinite. You fancy yourself wrapt
in shroud of Grape which ENVELOPES
the whole world; Tor life is only reveal
by the tu linking Of the stars, move
ment is only manifested by the mo-
ton of the moon pursuing its, tranquil
course through the celestial spheres.
Nature seems plunged in an awful
slumber, distant, mysterious, full of
sadness and pain, like the sleep Of the
dead in the presence of eternity. -Abbe

AIR-'RoOt hog or die.'
Republicans come listen,
And story I'll relate,
About good old gentlemen
Who lives down in the next State,
His name it is Abe Lincoln,
And he is a fine old boy
And he's bound to make your little Dug
Root hog or die.
CBoRUs-Hurrah! three cheers,
Abe Lincoln is the boy;
He's the very best man
In the State of Illinois;
He will make right good President
So say you and l,
And he'll make your Douglas Democrats
Root hog or die.
Honest Old Abe
O, he was good rail-splitter
When he lived away out West,
And when he gets to Washington
He'll make President the best,3
For he is In honest man,
That no one will deny,
And he is sure to keep the Union safe
Root hog or die.
CHoRUs-Hurrah three cheers, &c.
Douglas was the first nominee
The Democrats could make;
The South know he wasn't honest,
And taey thought he wouldn't take,
So they run up young Breckenridge,
Then the North began to cry:
He never can be President
Root hog or die.
CHoRUs-Hurah thu ee cheers, &c.
And there is Bell & Everett,
But they will find it is no go,
For against our honest Lincoln
Why they hav mt got show;
So they will have TO knock under,
Ill tell you reason why,
Lincoln he will make them sing
Root hog or die.
CHoRUs-Hurrah three cheers &c.
So we have got four candidates
For our next Presidency,
But the people they will find oat
That they can't elect all three
They can elect but QUE,
No matter how they try,
And Lincoln he will be toe man
Root hog or die
CHoRUs-Hurrah three cheers, &c.
And when he is our President
Now what do you think he'll doc
Why he'll make things work around us
Just like easy shoes
He'll be down ON all Democracy
That don deny.
But hell surely do our country good
Root hog or die.
CHoRUs-Iunah three cheers, &c.
Then come along Republicans,
And be you WIDE AWAKE,
We have organized this Company
All for Abe Lincoln's sake
We want him for our President,
And we all are bound to try
To make the dough ia 3ed Democrats

slave, said one to the other, ''the like to-

children between them and in the
evening both the slaves were brought
into room. One stood in one corner
and the other in the other corner, and
the male slave said, l, priest and the

upon each others neeks and wept, and
wept and wept, until the souls of both

O. Il
Fatten Hogs Early.

A correspondent of the Ohio FE
er gives the following as his expert
in fattening swine:
He first " hogged down." in Yves
parlance, forty acres of corn betw
the 10th of September and the 23(
October. By the hogs being weig
when they were turned in and when
were taken out, it was found they |
forty cents bushel for the corn,
mating the pork at four cents POI
and corn at forty bushels to the acr
His next course was to take one l
dred hogs, averaging 200 lbs. e;
which were placed in nine covered /
and fed all they could eat of corn
cobs ground together, and given in
lowances five times a day. In W
they were again weighed when, reck
ing 70 lbs. of corn and cob as equal
a bushel of corn, and the pork as bef
the hogs paid so cents bushel for
corn. The weather was warm for
season.
The same experiment was tried ag
the first week in November, when
corn brought 50 cents, the weather
ing colder. The third week in Move
Der the corn only brought 40 cents, a
the fourth week it brought but 26 cen
the weather continuing to grow cold
Another lot of hogs was fed throu
December, which only gave 26 cents
bushel for the corn. A part of the til
the weather was at zero. and then
hogs only gained enough to pay #
cents bushel for the corn, and aftt
wards, when the mercury went down
ten degrees below zero, the hogs on
held their 0cm.
The inference from the trial is, tn
in general it is not profitable to fee
corn to hogs after the middle of Mover
Der. The difference in gain is certain
surprising, and whether caused alt
gethes by the difference in temperatui
Or not, no person of observation ca
doubt that hogs gain much more in pr,
