How Ladies Should Dress.

As you look from your windows in Pa
ris observe the first fifty women who pass
forty have noses depressed in the middle,
a small quantity of dark hair and a swar-
thy 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 suit each other.
Before American women can dress per-
feetly, they must have the taste Of the
French, especially in color. One reason
why we see colors ill-arranged is that the
different articles are purchased each for
its own imagined virtues, and without any
thought what is to be worn with it. Wo-
men, while shopping, buy what pleases
the eye on the counter, forgetting what
they have at home That parasol is pret-
ty, but it will kill by its color one dress
in the buyers wardrobe, and be unsuita-
bic for the others. To be magnifcently
dressed costs money; but to be dressed
with taste is not expensive. 1t requires
good taste, knowledge and refinement
Never buy an article unless it is suitable
to your age, habit, style, and the rest of
your wardrobe Nothing is more vulgar
than to wear costly dresses with COM
mon delain, or cheap lace with expensive
brocades.
What colors, it may be asked, go best
together? Green with violet; gold with
dark crimson or lilac pale blue with scar
let; pink with black or white; and gray
with scarlet or pink A cold color gen.
orally requires warm tint to give life to
it. Gray and pale blue, for instance, do
not combine well, both being cold colors.
White and black are safe wear, but the
latter is not favorable to dark or pale
compilations Pink is to some skins the
most becoming; not, however, if there is
much color in the cheeks or lips, and if
there be even a suspicion of red in either
hair or complexion. Peach color is per-
haps one of the most elegant colors worn.
Maize is very becoming, particularly to
persons with dark hair and eyes. But
whatever the color or materials of the en-
tire dress, the details are all in all the
lace around the bosom and sleeves, the
fowers-in fact, all that furnishes the
dress The ornaments in the head must
harmonizo with the dress If trimmed
with black lace, some of the same should
be worn in the head, and the flowers which
are worn in the hair should decorate the
dress.

Baokwoods Eloquenoe.

A man on his trial for murder, having
been found guilty by the evidence, is sup
posed to have been successfully defended
by his counsel In the following speech,
which is quite as good warrant for the
iures SO often render as the usual reasons
by which juries attempt to justify their
finding:
Thou shalt not kill" Now if you
hang my client you transgress the COM
mand as slick as grease, and as plump as
a goose's egg in a lofefs face. ,ientle-
Iaen, murder is murder, whether com
lpitted by twelve jurymen or an humble
individual like my client. Gentlemen, l
do not deny the fact of my client having
killed man No such thing, gentle
tlemen. You may bring the prisoner in
guilty" the hangman may do his duty,
but will that exonOrate you? No such
thing. In that case you will be murder
ers. Who among you is prepared for the
brand Of Cain to be stamped upon his
brow to-day? Who, freemen? WHO, in
this land Of liberty and light? Gentle
men, I will pledge my word not one of
you has bowie knife. No gentlemen
your pockets are odoriferous with the
fumes of cigar cases and tobacco. You
can smoke the tobacco of rectitude in the
pipe of a peaceful conscience; but, hang
my unfortunate client, and the scaly aIli-
gators of remorse will gallop through the
internal principles of your animal yiscera,
until the spinal vertebrn ofyour anatom-
ical construction is turned into a railroad
for the grim and CORY goblins of despair
Gentlemen, beware of committing mur-
der Beware, | say, of meddling with
the eternal prerogativc! Gentlemen,
adjure you, by the manumtted ghost Of
temporary sanctity, to do no murder! |
adjure you, by the name of woman, the
main spring of the tickling timepiece Of
times theoretical transmigration, to do no
murder! l adjure you, by the love you
have for the esculent and continental
gusto of your native pumpkin, to do no
murder [ adjure you, by the Ameri-
can eagle that whipped the universal game
cock Of creation, and is now roosting on
the magnetic telegraph of times ilustri-
Gus trasmigration, to do no murder. And
lastly, if you expect to wear store-made
coats; if you ever expect free dogs not to
bark at you; if you never expect to wear
boots made of the free hide of the Rocky
Mountain buffalo; and to sum up all, if
you ever expect to be anything but sneak
ing, low-fung, rascally, braided small ends
of humanity, Whitfield down into indis-
tinctibility, acquit my client and save your
country.
The prisoner was acquitted, of course.

To KEEP HAMs.-Mr. Brooks, o

To KEEP HAMs.-Mr. Brooks, of
Tioga county, gives a method of
keeping hams which has never failed
with him.-He has tried them in
salt, in grain, in pounded charcoal,
in dry ashes and sewed up in cloth
and whitewashed, but they would
either mould or suffer injury some
other way. He then made sacks for
them of a yard square of good sheet
ing, putting them up before infected
by flies, one in q sack.--Sweet hay
is cutup about one inch long, and
put in the sacks, around the hams,
keeping them from the bag. They are
then tied up and hungin the smokehouse,
or some cool, dry place the hay and bag
will keep away the flies, and allow the
escape of moisture, SO that they will not
mould.-lf well cured and thoroughly
smoked, zone may depend on having good
hams as long as they last, or for years.
The bag will last for generation-Those
who have not yet secured their hams, for
this season will do well to try this plan.

Pennsylvanians, To Arms!

The stirring address of Gov. Cur.
tin, in another column, dispels all
doubts as to the formidable character
of the invasion. 1t is stern fact
that the force relied on to resist the
invader, has been compelled to fall
back. Baltimore and the National
Capitol are Immediately threatened
The call to arms is sounded under an
actual emergency, and no patriotic
citizen can disregard it. Inactivity
now becomes crime, our sole duty a
prompt response to the call to arms
If the invader is not met and over
come at the Threshold, it may not
be many days before he will be in
our own neighborhood. Western
Pennsylvania and our own teeming
city are attempting prize. The sum-
mons by the Chief Magistrate of the
Commonwealth does not magnify the
crisis. 1t lays upon every citizen a
solemn duty, which we feel sure those
of Western Pennsylvania will seek
neither to evade nor postpone.
We are not particularly advised of
the steps which will be taken under
the stern realities of the crisis, but
presume that means will not be
wanting to muster in and send forward
promptly, al who volunteer.
Now if we are men, and love our
country, let us shew it. To arms
is the call. To arms our duty =
