A STORY is told of an old lady who
lived near Rochester, who had never
seen or travelled on railroad. Wanting
TO go on visit TO II small town short

she went to the ticket office, carrying
her roticuie on one arm and an old
fashioned rocking-rhair on the other.
She bought her ticket, walked out on
the platform, put down her rocking
chair, sat down in it, took out her knit
ting and won, 10 work diligently. Stead
lily she rocked and worked, Hams conf
ing in and leaving a, the car time came

A RIVER THE EMBLEM OF HU-
MAN LIFE.

TIE river, small and clear in its ORR
gin, gushcs forth from rocks, falls from
deep glcnS, and wautons and meanders
through wild and picturesque country,
nourishing only the uncultivated tree
or flower by its dew or spray. In this,
its state of infancy and youth, it may
be compared to the human mind, in
which fancy and strength of imagina-
ton are predominant; it is more beau
tiful than useful. When the different
rills or torrents join, and descend into
the plain, it becomes slow and stately
in its motions; it is applied to move
machinery, to irrigate meadows, and to
bear upon its bosom the stately barge;
in this mature state it is deep, strong,
and useful. As it flows on toward the
sea it loses its force and its motion, and
at last, ;5 ii were, becomes lost and min
gled with the mighty abyss of waters.
Pursuing the metaphor farther, we may
say that in It's origin, its laundering
and foam, when it carricsdown clay from
the bank and becomes impure, it re-
scmblcs the youthful mind affected by
dangerous passions. And the Influence
.r - ,-----'.s- enso
effect of reason in more mature Life,
when the calm, deep, cool, uniInpas-
stoned mind is freed from its fever, its
troubles, bubbles, noise, and foam. And
above all, the sources of Il river, which
may be considered as belonging to the
atmosphere, and its termination in tho
ocean may be regarded as imaging the
divine origin of the human mind, and
is being ultimately returned to and
lost in the Infinite and Eternal Iutelli-
gcnce FROM which ii sprung.

Moral mammas and proper papas have
probably been shocked beyond measure at
observing the recent advent upon our streets
OF the new fashion in crinoline, from the
East, styled "tilting hoops" The latter COM
prise frame Of immense circumference, that
surrounds the form, and upon which hang
the skirts Of the owner. AT almost every
breath Of air, and at every motion Of the
wearer, the hoops tilt up this way and that,
affording q varied and pleasing exhibition to
the crowds Of insolent idlers that constantly
lounge about streetcorners. The hoops are
evidently intended to perform exactly as they
do, and the conclusion is inevitable that
ladies (H) wear them because Of this peculi-
arity. A New York writer exclaims: "Out
on this indecency that would disgrace honest
Pagans Let every modest woman who has
been tricked into getting them these traps Of
the harlot as the latest fashion, pull them
of and burn them Let every parent see to
II that his guileless daughter is not disgraced
by following this fashion, to provide her with
such as are modest, and forbid her. while in
his house, to play the airs Of the wanton."
The sight Of a lady going up Court street
the other day in high state of" fitting" ex-
citement, set us to wondering whether female
modesty wasn't mere sham, after all. And
we likewise wondered whether there was any
thing under the sun-no matter how i'm
modest-that the fair sex would shrink from
doing, II it was only fashionable.
We expect soop to chronicle the arrival OF
lot Of "a false calves" about which the Round
Table has half so much to say.
The new style plug hats are equally as
handsome and graceful as the fitting skirt "
