THE BEWfTOHING NEW FASHIONS

Who shall describe the exquisite taste
and beauty of the new style of ladies'
walking dresses? Taken as q class, wo-
msn contrivO more outlandish and ugly
costumes than one would think possible
without the gift Of inspiration. But this
time they have been fslicitious in inven
ton. The WrstchSd waterfall still re-
mains, OF course, but in q modified fogm;
every change it has undergone was for
the better. First it represented a bladder
Of Scotch snuff; next it hung down the
Woman's back like a canvas covered ham;
afterwards it contracted and counterfeited
= turnip on the pack part of the head
now it sticks straight out behind, and
looks like 3 wire muEEle on a greyhound.
Nesting in the midst Of this long of head
and hair, rsposes, the batter-cake of a
bonnet, like 3 jockey saddle on a race
horse. You will readily perceive that
this looks unique, and pretty, and CO.
qusttish. Bot the glory Of the costume
IS the robs-the dress. No iurbelows, no
flouncSs, no biasss, no ruffles, no cores. no
fiuttsr-Wbesls, no hoops to speak Of
nothing but rich, plain, narrow black
dress. terminating just below the knees in
long saw teeth. ipoints downwards) and
under it flaming red skirt, enough to
put your eyes out, that reaches down
only to the AnklObons, and exposes the
rsstlsss little feet. Charming, fascinating
seductive, bsWitcbing! To see lovely
girl Of seventeen, with her saddle on her
head and her muzzle on behind, and her
veil just covering the end of her nose,
come tripping along in her hoopless, red
ibottomsd dress, like q churn on fire, is
enough to set man wild. 1 must drop

COOP ANUsEMENT.-I have read sons
where of boy who amused himself in
planting apple seeds in various places
about his fathers farm. By end by,
these seeds sprang up. He watched for
the frst little shoots, aud then took notice
Of their growth, and when they were large
enough grated them for good fruit. The
natural wild fruit of the apple >.rse is not
good; and the boy had been taught this
by his father, whose farm was stocked
with the best apples. So he could ee,
gratis, and bad plenty Of little trees of his
own on which he could practice. This
amused him for many an hour. Ara
what was the result? Why, he raised mn
orchards of trees. all his own, that After
3 few years yielded him great deal of
fruit. He sold seven hundred dollars
worth last fall Wasn't such amusement
better than playing kite, top or shinney ?
Boys try it. Plant apples, peaches,
PeArs, orsDges; snotbiug you can get.
You will have the pleasure of seeing The
trees grow and By and by you will eat of
the fruit.

that We now hear nothing from any re-
