THE Morals OF TIE DAy.-The Pittsburg

THE MORALS OF TIE DAy.-The Plttsburg
Commercial concludes an article as follows:
'We imagine the feelings of a young and
innocent lady from the country, who last week
visited New, York city and tried to get a corset
made, but was told it could rot be donc under
two weeks, because all hands III the large estab-
lishments, she visited, were cngagcdln making
false calves for ladies who wear tilung hoops
fitting skirts are now "all the rage, j." and have
BEEN in New York city, for some time. The
thing is brought about by having hoops made
with a sharp and stiff curve at the foot, that
will tilt the dress and expose more or less Of
what, for the long dresses, existed only in the
imagination
''These two late inventions arc directly trace
able to Paris, as indeed are almost Ell the mod
ern fashions TO these are we indebted for
the "styles which fond mammas instruct
their daughters to initiate. 1t seems enough
to say, it's the fashion, to make it plea Tor
following it,
Zone of the latest fashions is to have dane
ing soirecs for young people A rule OF this
fashion is, that TO parent or guardian be az
mitted During the past winter, fathers and
mothers have permitted their daughters to go
to these soirces with young men, to sup and to
dance, and to como home with them at three
and 70 lr 0 clock in the morning Young girls
do not fluid it a blct on their characters TO go
with young men, unaccompaned by their
parents, to public hotel to dance and eat and
drink with them, and to come home with them
towards daylight.
"In the face of all this, we are rotastoaished
to hear that among the better classes Of society
there has been prodigious falling off in mar
riages Among such people, it is not surpris-
ing that the number Of divorces should exceed
the number Of marriages Look at the papers
East and West Day after day they are filled
with scandals, assertions, and naneless crimes
NOT among the lower classes solely, but in the
higher and more fashionable. They must coz
tinue to increase daily. ..

The Washington and Alexandria Railroad,
which has working party engaged now on st.
Asaph street, between King and Cameron in
repaving the street, propose to erect at once,
at the intersection of King and St. Asaph
streets, a handsome and comfortable depot
building Iron pillars along the outside of the
double track, or at the edge Of the sidewalks
leaving carriage way on each side Of the tracks
will support the roof, and form the uprights
of the walls The building will be two stories
high, and will contain the Offices, and the nc
cessary apartments about railroad station.
Cars for this road arc now building, and will
soon be completed, but as there is gap OF IN
finished track between the city and the Poor's
House, it will be at least month before pas
sengcrs enter them at the new depot.
Holy Week this year is in this city, is being
observed with as much, if not more, really de-
vout and Christian practice as ever before
It's celebrations in all countries, and among
various crceds are observed with extraordinary
religion exercises as being identified with the
closing days of the Saviour's earthly career and
s,ffsrings. % Friday-Good Friday, as it is
term2d-the cruciixion and death of our Lord,
are conr2cmorated with great solcmnity. The
Epjscopal Church in England and its colonies,
and in the United States, and the Catholic
Church Throughout the world observe with
special religious devotions and exercises the
celebration of this most affecting and solemn
period in the history of the Church and Of
mankind.
