WATCHING THE STARs.--It appears
that Young man in Germantown had
been paying some attention to yonng la
dy, but only ventured home as far as the
gate till last week, when carried away
with the excitement, be ventured to step
inside, after being assured by the damsel
that all would be right. Having for a
while quite anxiously waited for the first
star to shoot, the old gentleman of the es-
tablishment stepped into the parlor, and
looked up over his spectacles at the sur
prised couple; but before any questions
were asked, the fair young lady spoke up
and said:
"Pa, we are waiting to see the stars
shoot"
"Yes, you are, hey? well, 60 to bed
and I'll sit up with this young man; wher
the stars shoot, Ill tell you," replied the
interesting parent, casting side glance al
the feller.
The young man sat awhile quietly
without speaking, when he got up ana
looking out of the window, remarked "hc

says he shan't very soon forget watching

FEMALE FASHIONS.

One Mark Twain, a witty writer ad-
mires the style of women's walking dress
es, ard so sweetly sings their praises
"Who shall describe the exquisite taste
and beauty of the new style of ladies'
walking dresses Taken as a class, wo-
men can contrive more outlandish aud ug-
ly costumes than one would think possible
without the gift of inspiration. But this
time they have been felicitious in inven-
tion. The wretched waterfalls still re-
main, of course, but in modified form
every change it underwent was for the
better. First it represented bladder of
Scotch snuff, next it hung down the wo-
mans back like canvass-covered ham ;
afterward it contracted, and counterfeited
turnip on the back of the head; now il
sticks straight out behind, and looks like
wire muzzle on greyhound. Nesting
in the midst Of this long stretch of hair
reposes the little batter cake of bonuet,
like Jockey saddle on a 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 fur-belows, no tiounces,
no biases, no rufles, no cores, no tiutter-
wheels, no hoops to speak of-nothing but
rich, plain, narrow, black dress, termipa-
ting just below the knees in long saw
teeth (points downward,) and under it a
flaming red skirt, enongh to put your eyes
out, that reaches down only to the ankle
bone, and exposes the restless little feet.

ing; to see lovely girl of seventeen,
with her saddle on her head, and heI

however, they come to their evening halting

are taken from their backs, and they, now
wearied and stripped of their ladipg and
