FASHIONS. FASHIONS always run gradu-
ally to extremes, and then return by degrees
to reason and moderation. If ladies' bonnets
became much smaller, they would have to
be put on with the aid of microscope and q
pair Of tweezers. But the reaction, happily.
has set In, and it is whispered in fashionable
circles that the loves of spring bonnets will
be few sizes larger than those now worn.
They viii 60 on increasing, until aftera while
we shall get back to the old style of coal
scuttie, which used to render it imperative
upon man to 20 down asiIk and bombaziue
lane to kiss a woman, and which made it i'm
possible for one woman to kiss another with
out ungearing. After that we shall probably
have the old gig-tops, which had to be
thrown back on springs before female
could look around. Let them come; lovely
woman is equally lovely in a soup dish with
strings, or an old fashioned poke

TROUBLE FROM WITHIN.

The passionate, ill-natured man lives al
ways in stormy weather, even though it be
the quite of dew-fall around him: always
wronged, always hurt, always complaining of
some enemy. He has no conception that
his enemy is in his own bosom, iE the
sourness, the ungoverned irritability, the
habituaI illnature Of his own bad spirit and
character. speak not here Of some single
burst Of passion, into which man of amia-
BILE temper may, for once, be betrayed, butt
speak more especially of the angry charac-
ters, always brewing IN some tempest of
violated feeling They have great many
enemies, are uGaccountably ih-heated, and
cannot understand why it is. They have no
suspicion that they see and suffer bad things
because they are bad, that being illnatured
is about the same thing as receiving III
treatment, and that all the enemies they
suffer are snugly eloseted in their own evil
temper
The same is true of fretful persons-men
and woman that wear away fast and die,
because they have worried life completely
out Nothing goes right; husband, or wife,
or child, or customer, or sermon. They are
prieked or stung st every motion they make,
and wonder why 1t is that others are permit
ted to float along SO peacefully, and they
never suffered to have moment of peace il
their life is field of nettles to them, be
cause their fretfnl, worrying tempers are al
ways pricking out through the tender Skin
of their uneasiness. Why, if they were II
paradise, carrying their bad mind with them
they would fret at the good angels, and the
climate, and the eolors even Of roses.

a NEW SECT.-A new sect, knowing as
the Nazarenes, has appeared in Hungary.
Ii attracts the entire peasant population, as
the Methodists did in Wales. II is only
among the lower classes that it spreads with
rapidity The people have no priest aud
no religious rites They refuse to have their
children baptized, and win swear no oath.
They have closely connected societies, IN
which all matters Of common interest and
the private affairs Of individuals are arrang.
ed. They are quiet, orderly, sober, and II
dustrious above their neighbors. No one
seems to know where the religion came from,
nor how it was introduced. But it is sweep
ing over the land ike a tornado.

SAD AFFAIR on CATsKILL MOuN-
rtINs.-The Catskill Recorder says that
on the night of the ID inst, one of tine
coolest and most wintry of the season,
VIM. O!vor's house, on the bloak noun
tain road, was entirely consumed by fire,
the inmates only having time to escape
in their night clothes Mr.. Oliver, with
little boy of SIX wears, and Mrs O..
with an infant Of three months in her
arms. started for the nearest neighbor's
half 4 mile distant, leaving four older
children to keep warm, if possible, near
the burning building The parents and
accompanying children. however. sank
down in the snow exhausted, not far
from the haven they had attempted to
reach. Early in the morning, while the
ncighOor was feeding his cattle, he di>-
covered Mrs. Oliver embedded in II huge
drift, badly frozen and insensible. and
strange to relate, the infant but little in
jured. He succeeded in reScuing the
family, though in a badly frozen condi-
ton. 1t is feared that the infant is the
only member of this unfortunate family
that will survive the peri!5 of that terri
bic night.

Proclamation tOl. Fast.

OF old the Prophet proclaimed unto
the people: ''Sanctify We fast, call
solemn assembly, gather the elders and
the inhabitants Of the land unto the
house of the Lord your God, and cry
unto the Lord" The fathers obeyed
the command, and left the custom rich
legacy unto the children.
In compliance Herewith, and recog-
nizing our dependence upon a God who
may turn "a fruitful land into barren
ness, for the wickedness of those that
dwell therein do hereby appoint FRI
DAY, the 10th day April next, TO be OBJ
served az a day Of Fasting, humiliation
and prayer.
Let us on that day abstain from secu-
lar employments, and gather in our
places of ''solemn assembly" and there
devoutly engage in prayer with comics
sion for our sins.
Let us humbly seek aid from the source
of all wisdom, for those in authority,
that they may discern the right, regard
the safety, honor and welfare of the peo-

Let us inplorc the blessing of God
that honorable labor may receive It's re-
ward, that the ground give her increase,
and that all may eat in plenty and be
satisfied that wasting sickness come not
near our habitaiion>, that our institu
tons of learning be prospercd, and above
all that pure religion may prevail in all
our borders.
In our supplications let us seek the in

prove acceptable to the Lord. that he
deal not with Us according to our iniqui-
ties.

THE Impeachment Trial.
WASHINGTON. March % 1868.

WASHINGTON, March % 1865.
One step more has bccn taken in the
impeachment trial. The President has
filed his answer to the Indictment OF the
House. The court has decided 10y an all
but unanimous vote that it Is competent
to try the issue Is made up even if Ger
tain States are unrcprcsentcd. The EN-
ecutivc has further Developed that pro-
cr;l,tnation Is his first weapon. The
court has declared that it cannot posi-
bly, think Of granting thirty days more Of
delay and the managers Of the House
have said that they will be ready to pro-
coed with the examination of their wit
ncsscs on the day after tomorrow. SO
much has been concluded, yet everybody
says that the conclusion is no conclusion
because it has not yet been settled when
the trial shall begin.
This brief paragraph outlines the pic
turc of today. Let me fill it in with a
sketch OF the scene and the proceedings.
Tickets mean womcn-scnators seem to
care but little for persons of their own
sex, for less than a quarter Of the audi
tors in the galleries to-day were men. 1t
was a brilliant audience in every sense.
for nearly all the notable ladies' of the
city were present, and the day being as
soft and balmy as your May days, the
toilettcs were Of the newest and brightest
styles. There were Just enough men
among the spectators to set off the spring
costumes of The chief occupants of the
seats to the best advantage. 1t was
again noticeable that the African, al
though man and a brother, gets no
show in the distribution of tickets.
The Presidents answer is twice as long
as the articles of Impeachment. 1t took
Messrs. Curtis and Evarts an hour and
three quarters to read it. The PROPOSE
ton for thirty days delay took every
body by surprise, for the President had
told all and several of his confidents that
he would ask but ten or at the most tit-
teen days. 1t was three o'clock when
the speech-making began, and five
O'Clock when it ended. On the Presi-
dents behalf, the speakers were. Mr.. Ev-
arts and Mr.. Stanbery on the part of
the House, there were Generals Logan
and Butler, and Judges Wilson and Bing-
ham. The noticeable speech of the day
was General Logan's.

"Who causNl the War ~
"The Democratic party"

QUESTIONABLE CHARITY. The ten
dency to ''slop over''-to use ARENAS
Wards homely but perfectly Ineligible
phrase-is sometimes apparent in chart
table illusions as well as in other mat
tiers. And we cannot help thinking that
a case in point is afforded by the gushing
compliments of Mr.. Beecher toward Gen.
Lee, and the zeal manifested by the for
mer and Mr.. Greeley and others in be-
half of Washington College. Virginia,
presided over by Lee and having among
its Professors the notorious Lieut.. Maury.
Scientific men long ago came to the con-
clusiOn that the latter was a sham, but
the war proved that he Was Il most men
daciouS traitor. His services to the
lost cause" consisted in detaming the
people OF the north through British pub
lications-a safe but sneaking line OF eff
fort. ii he has now reformed, become
loyal and a tit man to instruct the youth
OF the country, we have certainly failed
to meet with the requisite signs OF repen
tauce and manly rccantation on his part.
The presumption, surely, is not i'll his
favor. We hope that both he and Gen.
Lee have returned to heartfelt ALLEGIANCE
to the tag, and are ready 10 do their
share in promoting sound education in
Virginia; but SO long as there arc So
many admirable institutions of learning
Gncluding the schools for the education

mcndation to the charitably di>posed.-

y NEW SwINDLE.-A new swindlc
is said to have been started in New York
city, which is we'll calculated TO deceive
persons living in the country. \ circu-
lar Is sent out with samples of prints,
which are represented to be manufactured
at print works whose owners have an

circular are samples of goods, of which
twelve yards will be sent on the receipt
of one dollar, or ten yards for eightv-tive
cents. A messenger was recently sent to

the place was in charge of boy, and
that no business was transacted there be-
