beauty and elegance of the trailing
dress. Fullness at the back, stretch
ing off into long, narrow quene, is
the effect required; but hooped-skirt
manufacturers, in endeavoring to
make the trail, have broadened
the skirt so that the length of the
dress is taken up unnecessarily and
the peculiar grace of the style wholly
lost.
Bonnets ere becoming smaller and
smaller, and there is good reason to
believe that in a short time they will
vanish altogether, to be superseded
by simple coiffures of lace and
flowers. Spangled and crystalized
lace, as well rs plain white lace, are
much used upon bonnets; the heecy
folds of the lace adding greatly to
the beauty of blooming youthful
face. The majority of the bonnets
are made of thin material-crape or
illusion. Staw cords bands and
straw flowers are much used. One
OF the prettiest bonnets is of lavender
Grape fulled over a fanchon frame,
with folds of lavender silk around
the edge, and narrow ruffle of silk
the edge notched-across the back.
The ties are narrow, with Grape
strings falling over them. Crystal
lied lace is festooncd across the in
side, with pink and white flowers.
A blue Grape is made of folds. The
strings are of Grape, edged with white
lace, and pre- Joined on the top, near
the front, and fall over tile sides.
The ribbons used on bonnets are
all narrow; No. 16 is the fashionable
width. White straw color, blue,
pink and lavender are oil in demand;
but the leading and prettiest color is
the apple-green. There has never
been a greater variety of flowers, or a

Henry the Fourth of France was re-
nowned for his beard. When
Louis the Fourteenth adopted the
new mode, the fashion grew general,
till it became usual for beaux of the
period to carry whisker-wax in their
pockets, together with small comb
and brush, wherewith their mistress
es might arrange their NOUS
taches.
"The church has always had some
thing to say about boards. Some
times its followers have been enjoined
to wear them, to give an air of
gravity and patriarchal wisdom to its
ecclesiastics; at other times envious
beardless divines have been led to
think that pride lurked behind hand

Greek and Romish Church have lono
been ut issue on this very question.
at the time of their separation, the
Romanists laid down stringent rules
about shaving, while the Greeks re-
tained their old patriarchal practice
OF beard-wearing, and indeed pro-
fessed themselves much scandalized
at the smooth-faced images of the
saints in the Romish Church.
The Tartars waged long and bloody
war with the Persians, simply be-
cause they refused to cut their boards
to match the pattern ordered by the
Tartar Church, and the old Hebrews
trimmed their boards sqnare-corner-

"The longest beard on record is
that of John Mayo, a celebrated

4 GEN UINE LOVE STORY.

On the whole, pleasant traits and char
acterS are not common on the cars. This
opinion expressed to my friend Summers
the other day.
/ was escorting home the lovely CHAR
lotto D., to whom | was at that time
devoted Charlotte could scarcely find
room to spread her crinoiine and arrange
her voIuminous Aounces / stood up near
her, there being no vacant seat
After few minutes, came in poor wo-
man, vino deposited basket Of clothes on
the front platform, aud held in her arms a
small child. while a little girl hung to her
dress. She looked tired aud weary but
there was no vacant seat; to be sure, Char
lotte might have condensed her dounces,
but she did not Beside her, however,
sat very lovely and elegant young wo-
man, who seemed by moving down closer
to others. TO make space enough for the
stranger between herself and Miss D. At
last she succeeded, and with The sweetest
blush ever saw, she invited the woman
to be seated Charlotte D. drew her
drapery around her, and blushed 100, but
1t was not pretty blush at all, aud she
looked annoyed at the proximity of the
newcomer, who was, however, clean and
decehtly, though thinIy clad.
The unknown lady drew the little girl
upon her lap, and wrapped I.er velvet
mantle around the small half-clad form,
and put her .nuft over her half frozen lit
tie blue hands.
So great was the crowd that [ alone
seemed to observe. The child shiyered-
the keen wind from the door blew on her
unprotected neck saw the young lady
quietly draw from under her cloak a little
WOODEN shawl, which she softly put on the
shoulders of the little one; the mother
looking on with confused wonder. After
a short time she arose to leave the cars,
and would have removed the shawl, but
the unknown gentle whisper, No, keep
it for her" The woman did not answer,
the conductor hurried her out, but her
eyes swan with tears. [ noticed her as
she descended to the basement, and hasti-
ly marked the house.
Soon after my unknown also rose to de-
part. [ was in despair, for wanted to
follow an disco er her residence, but could
not leave Miss D -.
How glad then, was to sec her bow
ing as she passed to mutual acquaint-
auce who stood in the doorway. From
him ere many minutes, learnt her name
and address.
10 soften the story as much as possibl
that lady is now my wife. In the small
incident which introduced her to me she
showed her real character A few days
after our marriage | showed her the bless
ed crimson shawl, which [ redeemed from
its owner, and shall keep as memepto. =
There are somtimes pleasant things to be
found ia unexpected places; certainly
may be said to have picked out my wife
in the cars. -ReuteW, Bohjmore

Never speak to deceive nor listen to be-

Let your anger set with the sun, but
not rise with it.
Great receipts render us liable to great
accounts.
Sweet and balmy are the slumbers of
the virtuous.
DO nothing you would afterward wish

Retire sometimes for sober consideration
