Calico Dresses.

Calico Dresses. .s L,f.-. al
Calico dresses are grand institutions:
Delaines, silks, and even satins are
good enough in their proper plaee-in
the parlor or band-bex, and all such,
but after all, the old Standby" the
substantial, is the shilling calico. Care:
must be taken not to soil the silk, moth
ing must come in contact with the nice
dress that will rumple or, Stain it,. but
the calico is made for work, and as. the;
high -falutins say "nobly does it falflf
its mission Silk rarely finds IT'S way
into the realities of life; that is, into
the kitchen at home, or the hut of the
sufferer abroad. But calicl, oh, what
rich meals we get by it!-how it cheers
the suffering, as with its bright colors
cheerful presence it stand, with soft and
gentle hands ministering to our dis
tresses. Calico seems to be always
more willing and ready to give to want
than silk s
1t is curious fact of our nature, that
the nicer the dress the harder our heart
is, as if when dressed in silk we changed
our natures, and rose above base, worldly
things. What our silk dresses to be
seen near enough to that poor workman
to give assistance, er drabbling into a
dirtyshut! No, never. Calico. might do
it-silk, it's just impossible. But
when, in addition to all, calico zones IN,
rosy with the exercise of kitchen duties,
which it knows how to do SO well, and
loves to do SO dearly, and sits down at
the piano or melodion, and makes the
liquid melody flow sweetly FORTH aye,
even blending it's own sweet voice with
the music of the instrument, then do We
appreciate and admire calico.
Remarkable Conversion. @
When Oliver Cromwell entered upon
the command of the Parliaments arms
against Charles 1st, he ordered that
every soldier should carry Bible lin
his pocket Among the rest there VAS
a wild, wicked young follow, who ran
away from his apprenticeship in London
for the sake of plumber and dissipation:
Being one day ordered out on a skir-
mishing expedition, or to attack some
fortress he returned to his qnarterssjn
the evening without hurt; When he
vas going to bed, pulling his Bible out
of his pocket, he observed a btillet-hole
in it, the depth of which he traced till
he found the bullet had stopped at
Feel. XII, 8; Rejoice, oh young maui in
thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee
in the days Of thy youth, and walk thou
in the ways Of thy heart and IN the
sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that
for all these things God will bring thee
into Judgment" The words We're, sent
home to his heart by the Divine Spirit,
so that he became sincere believer in
the Lord Jesus Christ. He lived in
London many years after the civil wars
were ended. rt r.Ea sqr-4

A SENSIBLE WoMAN-A man in La
Crosse, Wis, few days ago, rushed to
the river swearing that he would drown
himself When he had waded into the
depth of bis waist, his wife, who had fol-
lowed him, seized him by the hair, and
then, as local editor describes it, she
"led him back till they reached place
where the water was about two feet deep,
where she pulled him over backwards,
soused him under, und pulled his head
up again. Drown yourself! (down he
went) leave me to father the brats! IAN
other pluugo) get drunk (another souse)
and start for the river (another dip) bet
ter use water instead of rot gut! (anoth-
er dip and shake of his head) I'll larn
you to leave me widow, and all the men
at the warP After sozzling him to her
hearts content, she led him out wetter
if not better man, and escorted him in
to the house and closed the door,"

The New ORLEANS BATTERINe RAM.
The Cincinnati Enqairer has been fur
nished with description of the New Or
leans battering ram. The steamer is the
length o! an ordinary steamboat, the roof
being arched in shape, covered with rail
road iron, SO as to prevent balls from pen
etrating, and the balls in striking will im-
medately glance off without having any
effect, let the position of the gun be what
il may. AT the bow Of the boat is
ponderous cutter, made of the best steel,
the object of which is TO cut vessel in
two. This will require very great pow.
or, which the projectors think they have
attained by way of two powerful engines.
The mode of attack is with hot water,
which is thrownihrough hose attached 10
the boilers. The vessel attacked can not
keep her men on deck, nor can she use
her cannons, as they will be kept wet by
the water thrown. Beside being covered
with heavy iron, the boat is built of the
heaviest and best timber.

ASTOUNDING DISCOVERY IN FRANCE.
The following sounds very much like
the stories of the Arabian Nights, or Sin.
bab the Sailor; but, ms il comes from a.
respectable source, we give it for what il
is worth: GIs9l4
1t has beena great mystery to English
bankers, and to the directors of the bank
OF England, how the bullion of the bank
OF France could be so greatly increased
within the last three years, while the in
stltuiion has been constantly sending gold
TO England, 10 Germany, and to Ameri-
ca. Not long since the bank of France
drew some fifteen million francs in silver
from the bank Of England, which IL paid
for in gold bars with the French Mint
stamp on them. AT its last report it
showed balance of one hundred and
seventeen millions of francs in gold, while
the amount one year ago was under
eighty million--nearly one-third increase.
1t is whispered that this abundance of
gold is the result of a scientific discovery,
which the Emperor Napoleon has secured
the monopoly of Gold is at present man
ufactured at Paris in secret manner.
The principal articles used are lead and
arsenic; and, though il is not known
how extensively the precious metal is
made, yet several hundred weight Of the
materiai are taken to certain place on
the first Of each month"; Everything is
conducted with the utmost secrecy. Mono
of The workmen are allowed to leave, and
nothing definite can be known; but the
fact that gold is produced is beyond per-
adventure. How long Napoleon III. will
be able to keep this wonderful secret re-
mains to be seen. Bankers Reporter.
