THE FASHIONS.
winter Bonnets In Philadelphia.

The deyotee Of fashion might now boldly
haunt her last new bonnet and defy her critics
with the plea, 1.-THE head and front of my Offend
ing hath this extent, no MORE" which would
certainly make 1t an offense not worth mem
tionipg. Knowing, as we do, however from a
bitter experience, that Boreas, although eccen-
trio about times and seasons, has a habit of
balancing his accounts by fits and starts of re-
sistless energy, we view the tender little
left unprotected by even suspicion OF rlobon,
shadow of lace or shading of hair. and Won
der how their ROXY tips are going ITO bide the
peltipg of the pitiless Storm"
The winter bonnet is a sad misnomeT for the
fragile little structure, just large enough to
serve as a stem to a flower or a perch to a bird;
but as it is all that Dame Fashion vouchsafes
us, we must accept the boon with thanktuluess,
for 1t might have been worse-lt might have
been ugly as well as useless-and 1t is matter
of rejoicing that if IL is petty IL is also pretty.
The Fanchon may still be considered the pre-
vailing type. although IL is much improved
from the original form by rolling front, the
high trimming being much more becoming to
most faces; 1t is also rolled upwards or kinked
behind, which is more graceful than the old cut
of or snubbed look that could only be partially
relieved by floating lace streamers or falling
festoons OF flowers. In the shapes which still
make pretense of resemblance to the bonnet
as IL was of old, the humbug becomes still more
glaring, for they merely 1.-THE likeness of

useless excrescence.

generally used during the autumn have been

shape among the multitude, although the high
crowns resembling the old picturesque "cava-

From the New York World

The returns from Pennsylvania, In
diana and Ohio arc so mcagro and 50
confused that sound Judgment upon
the result is nearly impossible.
1t seems clear that the Democrats
have gained Il Congressman in nearly
every one of the sharply contested
districts where victory was thought by
our friends to be possible.
lis to the gcneralresultin the States
named, we cannot indulgc the hore, it
would appear, of such a sweeping and
thorough triumph, rs would have
made tho result of tho election in
November forgonc conclusion. 1t is
certain that the Democracy of the
North, if they would redeem the Re.
public, must keep their armor on, and
know no rest or wearincss in their la
bors till the night Of November Sd
Victory hovors still above the con
tending hosts, uncertain upon which
banners to alight. The Democracy
have done nobly. Never were their
ranks so full never was their battle
fought more gallantly. But thofoe
is stubborn, determined, desperate.
Not an hour is to be lost not man
can be spared.

When years have rolled their lengths along
With mingled JOY and pain,
Aud sunbcams leave our horizon,
And falls the gentle rain;
When clouds obscure our skies once blue,
And care and sorrow blend,
And fate has proved to us so false,
SO changeable u friend;
Wo love 10 wander back in life
Ger memory's sunny plain,
And live our happy childhood DER
Oar early loves again.
And from communion sweet we find
New strength to grapple with
The crosses and the burden which
Our daily lives must give;
And hope points Us to look above
This world of care and strife,
10 that blest home in Heaven above,
Where there's immortal life,
Who're disappointments cannot come,
Nor care, nor grief, nor pain
Where we will meet in endless bliss
Our early loves again.
