Who shall describe the exquisite taste
and beiuty ofithe iafew style of ladies'
walking dresses? Taken as class, wos
MEM can c0ntriye more outlandish and
ugly costumes than one would think
possible without the gift of inspiration.
But this time Ithey have been Ifelicitous
in invention. The wretched waterfall
remains OF cocrse, 5bnti in a. modified
form; every chance itl-has undergone
was for the better First it represen-
ted bladder Of Scotch snuff; next it
hung down the woman's back like can
vass-cOvered ham; afterward it contract
ed and. Qnterfeited .aiaturnip on the
back of the head, now it sticks out be-
hind, and looks like. wire mgzzle on a
greyhound, Nestling in, the midst of
this long stretch of head and hair repose
the little batter7eake of bonnet, Ike
jockey-saddle on q race-horse.. You will
readily perceive that this looks very
unique, and pretty and coquetish. But
the glory of the costume is. the robe
the dress. No furbelows, no ..ruffies, no
-biases, no founces, no cores, no ,futter-
wheels, no hoops to speak of-7-nothing
but q rich plain, narrow black dress, ter
minating Just below the knees in long
saw teeth .(pointing dawnward,) y and un-
der it flannel red skirt enough to put
your eyes out, that reaches down only to
the ankle-bone, and exposes the. restless
little feet Charming, fascinating, Sc
ductive, bewitchingl To see a lovely
girl Of sevunteen, with saddle on her
head, and amuzzle1 on behind, and her
veil Just covering the end of her nose
come tripping along In the hopeless, red
buttOned dress, like a ichurn on fire, Is
enough to set oheIwild, / must drop this
suBject-I CAN'T stand it.---lMafE Iacaiaa.
A Young wife demonstrated with her

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.-A babe not
old enough to walk,was creeping on the
floor. BY and by a bright ray of sun
shine fell upon the carpet. Baby saw it,
and crept towards the dazzling object
She looked at it, and crept all around it,
with the greatest interest in her sweet
face, ana then putting down her little lips
she kissed it. The bright little sunbeam
lighted up Joy in her heart, and she ex-
pressed that joy with sweet kiss. %

Judge the Supreme Court of one of
the States of this Union, when he first

Eother day, was rather kinder in tone than
1 many of his former speeches, but it indi-
Gates no changein bis l2licy, and no fe-
! taxation of his opposition to the union OF
Rome with the Kingdom of Italy. He
is still unabletO perceive the advantages
of national unity, still unwilling to ac-

consolidation of the It4 4ian states springs
from any other inspiration than hostility
