Anew Fashion.

The latest freak of female fashion has
not yet made its appearance in our
streets, but We presume we shall not
have to wait for it very long. 1t is the
revival of the old-fashioned hoops, or
as the French call them, panniers or
baskets, which were first in vogue in
France hundred and thirty years ago,
and were afterWard faVorite article of
dress with the beautiful Marie Antoin-
ette and her ladies Just before the revo-
luton of 1889. They consist simply of
q circular frame-w TX of whalebone, OF
other suitable material, fastened around
the person beneath the waist and above
the hips, extending equally in every di-
rection, and producing an extraordinary
enlargement aud rotundity of the fig
ure. When the fashion was at its ex-
treme, the rule was that the diameter
of the psnnier should be equal to the
hight Of the wearer; but this extrava-
gance was adopted only by the more
ultra and dashing among the ladies Of
the time. The introduction of this
mode at the present day is the work of
the Empress Eugenie, who seems to
exercise a more despotic sway over the
women ofthe civilized world than her
stern and INSCRIPTIONS husband has
ever been sble to WELD over the French
nation. As yet, she has been followed
in this last innovation only by the ladies
of Paris; but the rest of Homsnkind are
sure to hasten to initiate their example.
According 10 statement in the cores

An Attack upon the Ballet
and Modern Fashions.

An article entitled "The Farewell of
Fig-Leaves." in the March number Of
the N0rtkerR Montky-sttributed to
Miss Olive Logan-is by far the ablest
attack on the ballet that has been elici-
ted since the BLACK Crook" first dis
played its demoralibing attraetions.-
The writer, who has evidently had an
extensive stage experience, assails not
only the ballet, but the exposures toler-
sted by the extreme fashions Of the
day.
A single paragraph will give a good
idea Of the treatment Of this subject:
"a somewhat weary distance may
seem to have been travelled over in
this rather resume than statement of
the obligations at once binding woman
to modesty and her friends to assist her
in the maintenance of that quality; but
it is to be feared that before all is said
the connection with the special subject
of improper personal exposures may
be only too evident. For there is small
occasion of treading on the painful if
not dangerous ground of specification,
to prove either that there only exists
one forfeiture of modesty more assured
than that incurred in throwing the
sacredness of the person open TO the
public gaze,or that there does hot exist
even one road more inevitable toward
that impurity following immodesty.-
There is lust of the eye mentioned
by that same commonly neglected au-
thority before quoted quite as guilty as
that which follows, and more destruc-
tive, because hundreds may be con.
taminated at once and the ever.re
curing test of brotherhood, or better
still, of husbandhood, comes up again,
inevitably to illustrate the atrocity o.
pandering to it. In the marriage con
tract what husband will fail to claim
that the woman who he takes to hi
arms and heart contracts to keep tht
glories of her womanhood sacred 70 hi
only eyel And what father or broth
er will fail to visit with the seVerest
reprobation the first advance toward
undue revelations of either daughter
or sister, simply because he, in com
mon with the husband, recognises suct
exposures. if continuing. as incompsti
ble with purity of soul and threaten
ingly dangerous to purity Of body?
Il might puzzle even an imaginative
writer to concentrate in a few word
more sneering but grieved bitterness
that that expressed, many years ago
during temporary reign Of the diseas,
now persistent, by certain husband
who was sccosted with question whil'
looking on at a dance in which hi
very decollete wife was figuring. "Whsr
very handsome and msgniicently form
ed lady is that yonder, in the greer
and pesrls?" asked one of the othel
guests, an acquaintance. THAT? Oh
that Is my wife; or, at least, l though
that it was up to to day. But, by tht
Prophet am inclined to think, by
the way she dresses tonight, that she
is the wife of every gentleman in the
room"

SEEDs-Now is the time for farmers
and gardeners to look over their stock
of seeds, and see if they are well pro-
Vided against the time Of need. When
planting time comes, not q moment
should be lost in hunting up seeds. re
yon are short of any particular kind Of
seed, and have plenty Of some other
sort, exchange with your neighbor. If
this cannot be done. aud you have to
buy, be sure and buy Of those only
who are honest and can be depended
upon. Always procure the best seed
for it is poor economy to use seed that
will produce only inferior results. If
you have planted the same variety of
potatoes for several years, you had bet
ter change your seed; procure potatoes
from a distance, for they will produce
a much better crop, and the potatoes
will be larger and better. Most Vege
tables may be greatly improves by care
in selecting the earliest and best seed
Those who can should raise their own
seeds, for, as a general thing. those you
buy will prove inferior to those you
raise. We have known cases where
corn has been made to ripen q week or
ten days earlier. after as many years.
simply by selecting the seed in the field
from the ears that ripened earliest
Tomatoes may be wonderfully improv
ed. both in earli1ess, size and beauty,
by selecting the largest and finest form
ed specimens among those ripening
early. What is true of corn and toEsa,
toes, is true of almost everything that
grows. If, then, so great changes can
be produced, let every one exercise
great care in selecting seed. then be
sure and keep it pure and good.

A STANDING ToPIc AMONG THE LADIES
Where two or three or more married
ladies are gathered together in a conf
dental way they almost invariably talk
about servants, "babies," and some.
times husbands, are discussed; but cooks
and chambermaids and walters are,
upon the whole, safer subjects. Differ
ence of opineon have always existed
and always will exist in mixed society
as to the merits ofinfant prodigies and
model spouses; but in relation to the
shortcomings of domestics the ladies
are all but unanimous.
Now, the eyes of the servants may ke
full of notes, but are those of their
employers free from beams7 1t must
be confessed that the majority of la-
dies do not treat their domtstics on the
"Do-unto-others-- s--as-you-would-th
should-dO-pnto-you" principle. II
there is any ground for saying that good
husbands make good wives, there is
certainly equal reasons to expect that
just and eonsiderate employers will be
faithfully served. In the treatment
of domestics the familiarity that breeds
contempt should be carefully avoided;
butit is quite possible to make those
who do your behests your friends with
out making them your confidants. Be
thoughtful for their comfort and well
fare. Do not require too much Of
then. Fancy yourselves servants now
and then, ladies, in order to realize
how they feel.

Mr WIre Is the Cause OF IL.

1t is not more than forty years ago
that Mr.. L. called at the house of 8
DR.. B. one very cold morning, on his
way to H. .'Sir," said the doctor, "the
weather is very frosty-will you take
something to drink before you start ?"
In that early day when ardent spirits
were deemed indispensable to warmth
for the winter when commencing a
Journey, and at every stopping place
along the road, the traveller used in
toxicating drinks to keep. himself warm.
No" said Mr.. L-,@I never touch
anything of the kind, and Pll tell you
the reason-my wife is the cause of it.
l had been in the hsbit OF meeting
some neighbors every evening for the
purpose of playing cards. We assem-
bled at each others shops, and liquors
we're introduced after while. Weme
not so much for drinking. but I used
to return home late in the evening
more or less intoxicated. Ny wife al
ways met me at the door sffectionately
and when l ehided her for sitting up so
late for me, she kindly replied:
II prefer doing so, for cannot sleep
when you are out"
This always annoyed me. L wished
in my heart she would begin TO scold
me for then could have retorted, and
thus relieve my conscience. But she
always met me with the same gentle
and loving spirit.
Things passed on thus for some time
when l at once resolved that I would,
by remaining late and returning much
intoxicated, provoke her so much as 10.
cause her to lecture me. when meant
to answer her with severity, and thus
creating another issue between us, un.
burden my bosom of its present trouble.
II returned in such a plight about
four o'clock in the morning. She met
me at the door with her usual tender
ness, and said, Come in husband. l

you, because / knew you would be
cold. Take off your boots and warm
your feet; here is cup of coffee for
you"
doctor, that was too much. could
endure it no longer, and l resolved from
that moment that would never touch
another drop as long as lived, and
never will. 1t was aheavy trial for nv
wife's patience, but she fairly conquer
ed me that time"
He held to his resolution, and lived
and died practising total abstinence
from all intoxicating drinks, in a vii
lage where intemperance has rayRged
as much as in any other town in the
State.

APRIL.

April has searched the winter land.
And found her petted flowers again;
She kissed them to unfold their leaves,
She coaxed them with her sun and ram,
And 6lled the grass with green content.
And made the weeds and clover vain.
Hsr faireis climbed the naked trees.
And set green caps on every stalk;
Her primr roses peep bashtully
From borders Of the gar len walk:
And in the REDEEMED maple-tops
Her blackbird gossips sit and talk.
She greets the patient evergreens.
She gets q store OF ancient gold.
Gives tasselled presents 70 the breeze.
And teaches rivers songs OF old
Then shakes the trees with stolen Mareh
winds,
And laughs to hear the cuckoo scold.
Sometimes, to fret the sober sun,
She pulls the clouds across his face:
But finds a snow-driit in the woods,
Grows meek again. and prays his grace;
Waits till the last white wreath is gone,
And drops arbuius in the place
Her crOcuses and violets
Give all the world gay GOOD year!'
Tall irises grow tired Of green,
And get themselves purple gear;
And tiny buds, that lie asleep
On hiil, and field her summons hear.
She rocks thesaucy meadow-cups;
The sunsets heart anew she dyes;
She fills the dusk of deepest woods
With vague. sweet sunshine and surprise;
And wakes the periwinkles up
To watch her with their wide, blue eyes.
AtIast she deems her work Is done.
And finds a willow rocking chair.
Dons spectacles of apple buds,
Kerchief and cap of almond rare.
And sits. a very grandmother,
Shifting her sunshine-needles. there.
And when she sees the deeper suns
That usher in the happy May.
She signs TO think her time is past.
And Weeps aecaus she cannot stay,
And leaves Der tears upon the grass.
And turns her face. and glides away.

The Mobile Tribune calls attention to
the fact that the price of cotton has
steadily risen during the last mouth
from thirteen cents pound to twenty
four. 1t remarks that the oldest and
shrewdest cotton men of Mobile con-
fess themselves unable to account for
this remarkable advance. Some think
it due TO a miscslculation of the Liver
pool dealers as to the amount of the
cotton crop of this country; others see
in it oaly one Of those phenomena of
speculation, which are as iDexplicable
as the panics which sometimes seize
armies in the face of the enemy. This
explanation is not satisfactory, but it
is apparently the best that can at
present be given. .
