FASHIONABLE WoMES.-Fhe New

FASHIONABLE WoMEN.-The New York
E,prcSs says:
If anv one can truthfully adduce the exis-
fence of A class more hopelessly and unmiti-
gated,v extravagant in every sense of the
word than a New York belle, we should con-
slider him n benefactor, since it would inn
plv a community Of suffering which is gen
orally considered material mitigation in
the case of afflicted humanity.
Formerly the martyr husband or father
of one of these butterflies found limit 10
his fortunes when he had invested his idol
in the latest and most expensive novelties !;
lint now unsatisfed with such easy Conqucsts,
the votary of fashion subjects her victim to
such thorough depletions, that We stand
aghast at the ingenuity which invents and
the selfish obstinacv which exacts such con-
slant and fatal drains on the powers of the
family bread winner.
The highest ambition Of a member of the
class, in our day, was limited TO an elegant
and recherche" toilet, handsome house and
stvlish equipage. Now, this stylish passion
is carried through so many ramifcations
that It's impossible TO follow our insatiate
leader. and we find ourselves wrecked on a
waterfall, or poisoned with French supper.
Nor does this empty, miserable wasted life
by any means imply wealth. On the con-
trary. hundreds Of families, with no means
of support, but the precarious products Of
the husbands or fathers brains, live on from
year to year in this manner, preparing for
the matrimonial market these expensive
playthings, which must prove, in most cases,
SO many millstones round the necks Of their
husbands. The Lord deliver us from one Of
them.

Farmers Column.
Scattered TreasiirAs.

In the natural way Of things the
leaves decay where they fall, and thus
return to the earth more of organic mat
ter than the tree takes from it. In cul-
tivation we do not allow things to go
on in their natural way, but wish some
portions of earth to be unnaturally fer
tile, and we accumulate manures. Be
sides, in our civilization we have certain
ideas Of neatness with which fallen
leaves conflict, and we gather them up
because they have slovenly look that
ofends us. Every leaf should be saved,
and if not allowed to decay and enrich
the ground where it falls, it should be
made to do good service elsewhere. In
our country towns and villages, so gen.
orally planted with shade trees, the crop
OF leaves is blown about and usually
goes to waste. The careful gardener
will be on the lookout for these Nscat-
tered treasures" and gather them all for
preservation. Gathering the autumn
leaves is excellent work for children,
and men and women need not be
ashamed of it, for it is merely accepting
one of the gifts of bountiful Proyi-
dence. Leaves are natures own winter
mulch for the wild flowers of the woods,
and we can have nothing better for our
beds and borders. For bulbs and all
herbaceous plants, strawberries, and all
things requiring winter covering, the
otherwise wasted leaves will be found
most useful Then when we come to
make hot-beds in early spring, they
serve to mix with manure in the pro-
portion of one-fourth to one-half, and
make better heating material than
manure alone. And after having served
this purpose, their vitality is not ex-
hausted. The old heating material,
mixed manure and leaves, thoroughly
rotted, makes a manure that every gar
dener knows the value of. Save the
the leaves then, there is money in them

Surface indications of water are
often difficult to detect, and frequently
wanting altogether, even where water
is close at hand. Sufficient persever-
ance will generally be rewarded, and SO
the willow, peach, or hazel-wand indi-
cations, if followed, will usually come to
water sooner or later. Water obtained
by digging wells is of two kinds; that
which flows into the wells from the ad-
jacent ground in which it is held as in
sponge or a basin, being supplied from
the surface, and hence called "surface
water;" and That which flows in under
ground channels at indefinite depths.
If we'll is sunk near, or cuts one of
these channels or subterranean brooks,
the supply of water is usually more per-
manent than surface water. Surfacein
dications are uncertain, unless the ineli-
nation OF the strata of rocks, or of gray
ell, clay, sand, etc, is obvious, and the
water flows ont on side-hills where
these strata crop ont, or unless the
spongy or dishing character of the soil
is obvious or proven. We would rely
on no general indications of water, but
would dig our wells where we wanted
them to stand, unless so doing would
be in opposition to geological indica-
tions, or to facts established by other
attempts to find water in the immediate
neighborhood. Certainly we would
never follow the Water Wizard and his
switch, in many cases fallacious.-s
