perceived that the first lines of the letter
only were written. The cardinal was very
partial to that secretary and treated him as
a father. To awake him he gave him box

the blow. The cardinal, without showing
the least emotion, said, cody, "Now, sir, as

Spring Fashions.

In the always interesting article OF erlno-
line there is a most gratifying change. The
''tilters" are acknowledged by their wearers
to be Just what the newspapers called them
from the first, an abominatioD, ridiculous in
form and vulgar in idea. They are to be
followed by a much smaller hoop, graceful,
becoming and CONVENIENT for both out and
indoor wear, E -ft .s-.f f.4
The fashion for bonnets is still oscillating
and fails to indicate definitely the style that
is to prevail. Those who venture to pur-
chase have the modification of seeing some-
thing else entirely new the first time they
appear in their costly nothingness. One
thing, however, seems to be pretty certain,
and that is that there will be no such radical
change in regard to size as has been antici-
pated. The small bonnet is what the late
Artemus would have called "a success.
Handsome women, and those who consider
themselves so, have no notion of again hiding
their beauty in bonnets of the old coalscut-
tie style; and those not included in these
two classes are too insignificant in numbers
to Influence the fashions materially. Seri-
ously, we believe that for summer wear the
small bonnet is the true idea; and we are glad
to see it perpetuated.
The g6red dress, so long in fashion, will
be the prevailing style for the coming season
1t is made plain at the top--or with plaits
at the back, according to taste. For the
house the skirt is very wide at the bottom
with long train. For reception this skirt
is very suitable. In street dresses, there il
a decided and apparently popular change.
The short dresses, with petticoat to match
are great Improvement upon the looped-uI
dresses, with h'trains.which would sometimes
escape from the best of loOpers to sweep th'
streets. These short dresses require sacqu'
or iackettO to be worn with them, and are gen
orally made en- suite. Shawls cannot be worl
with them; they have too heavy look, anC
are not graceful with the new short dress
The short dresses for the street are made
plain at the top, or with plaits at the back
both of which are fashionable. The skirt i
usually cut with points around the bottom
and is worn over a plated petticoat of tn
same material-but the petticOat is now ofteI
made plain, and when trimmed with gradu
ated bands of velvet is very pretty, and man.
prefer it to the plated. Everything in tn
way of dress is elaborately trimmed.

The STRUGGLE BETWEEN LoNG AND SHORT
DREssEs.-A New York correspondent,under
date of the 26th ult., says: "The ladies, how
ever, adorn the streets with spring styles,
notwithstanding the cold. A great struggle
seems to be in progress in the fashionable
world, between the recently introduced short
dresses and the full skirt for street wear.
The former can by no means be said to pre-
vail as yet, although it is worn extensively by
young ladies and girls. Married and elderly
ladies still cling to the full skirt. l wish to
cor1ect an erroneous impression which is pre-
vailing IN regard to the manner in which the
waterfall is worn. Many seem to think that
the elevated chignon is the mode, making it
appear as patent windlass to pull the back
hair up by the roots. This is not so. Com
paratively, only few would-be avant coltr-
iers of fashion have adopted this style. 1t
is mostly worn exactly on the back of the
head. When elevated a little higher, the
Chinese appearance is relieved by braid
passed under"

Kansas Fashions.

The following are the latest Leavenworth
fashions, as found in a recent issue of the
Commercial:
"Miss s., old Smiths daughter by his
wife's first husband, wore short dress of
sorrel poplin, striped with brown hewgags,
with tight-fitting basquine made out OF her
mas last winters cloak. Sleeves of moire
antique to match her highest underskirt, and
bonnet of red oak bark, tied with slippery
elm strings. She was as beautiful as a
butcher fly. She looked a little odd but
amazingly pretty -.
Miss H-x, alleged to be the wealthiest
girl on Cheyenne street, wears black-and-
tan Irish terrier poplin SUIT, trimmed with
bias folds of straw -colored bOmbazine, with
blue stitching, put around the skirts
with Spaulding's glue. Short sacque, tight
under the arms, and bonnet of buffalo chips
trimmed with pieces of cable"

Hush, l cannot bear to see thee
Stretch thy tiny hands in vain;

Nothing, child, to ease thy pain. p,
When God sent you first to bless me, .,
Proud and thankful, too, was /;
Now, my darling, l, thy mother, a.
Almost long to see thee die.
Sleep, my darling thou. art weary;
God is good, but life is dreary.
l have seen thy beauty fading,
And thy strength sink day by day
Soon know will want and fever I'D
Waste thy little life away.
Famine makes thy mother reckless,
Hope and joy are gone from me;
1 could suffer all, my baby,
Had l but crust for thee.
Sleep, my darling thou art weary;
God is good, but life is dreary.
/ am wasted, dear with hunger,
And my brain is sore oppressed,
l have scarcely strength to press thee,
Wan and feeble, to my breast.
Patience, baby, God will help us, 5.a-
Death will come TO thee and me;
He will take us to his Heaven,
Where no want or pain can be. -'Fi7
