ELEGANCE DOES NOT MAKE A HOME.
= never saw q garment too fine for
man or maid there was never a
chair too good for cobbler or
cooper, or king to sit in never a
a house too fine to shelter the human
head. These clements about us, the
gorgeous sky, the imperial sun, are
not too good for the human race.
Elegance fits man. But do we not
value these tools Of housekeeping a
little more than they are worth, and
sometimes mortgage house for the
mahogany we would bring into it.?
/ had rather eat my dinner off of the
head Of a barrel, or dress after the
fashion Of John the Baptist in the
wilderness, or sit on a block all my
life, than consume myself before /
got to a home, and take so much
pains with the outside that the in
side was as hollow and empty as
nut. Beauty is a great thing, but
beauty of garments, house and furni-
ture is q tawdy ornament compared
with domestic love. Allthe elegance
in the world, continues Theodore
Parker, will not mako a home, and I
would give you more for q spoonful
of real hearty love than for whole
ship loads of furniture, and all the
gorgeousness that all the uphoIsters
of the world could gather.

Hints to Writers and Speakers.

William Cullen Bryant gave the
following good advice to young man
who offered him ar article for the
Ereniag Post: "My Young friend,
| observed that you have used several
French expressions in your article
| think that if you will study the
English language, that you viii find
it capable Of expressing all the ideas
you may have. | have always found
it so, and in all that | have written
do not recall a single instance
where L was tempted to use for
cien word, but that, on searching, /
found a better one in my own Ian
guage.
Besimple, unaffected, be honest in
your speaking and writing. Never
use long 9ord when a short one
will do. Call spade spade, not a
well-known oblong instrument OF
manual industry let home be
home, not a residence a plae a
place, not q locality, and so Of the
rest. Where short word viii do |
you lose by using a long one. You
lose in cloarncss, you lose in honest |
expression OF your meaning, and in |
the estimation Of all men who are
competent to judge, you lose in rep
utation for ability.
The only true way to shine, even |
in this false world, is to be modest |
and unassuming. FaIsehood may be |
very thick crust, but in the course
OF time will find place to break
through. Elegance Of language may
not be in the power Of all of US, but
and str ight-forwardness
are.
Write much as you would speak |
speak as you think. If with your
inferior, speak no coarser than usual;
if with your superior. no finer BE
what you say, and within the rules
of prudence. No one ever was a
gamer by a singularity of words or
pronunciation. The truly wise man
will speak SO that one will observe
how he speaks. A man may show
great knowledge of chemistry by
carrying about bIadders Of strange
gases to breathe, but he will enjoy
better health, ard find more time for
business, who lives on common air.
sydney Smith once said After
you have written an article, take
your pen and strike out half Of the
words, and you will be surprised to
find how much stronger it is

Ba- People express their wonder
that so many attempts are made to
throw cars off from railway tracks.
They cannot comprehend the motive
there is always a motive for every
act-by which the wretches who thus
peril hundreds of Innocent lives are
actuated. In few cases the motive
is revenge. Creatures who have
sustained injuries, fancied or real,
from the companies, thus seek to
glut their vengeance at tie expense
of others who never molested them,
But by tar the greater number OF
these wholesale murders are actuat-
ed by desire for plumber They
seek to rob the dead and wounded,
and escape with their baggage. 1t
is fearful to think that not one of
these monsters has yet been made an
example Of 1t should be when it il
made, an example SO dreadful that
lac horrible business will be stopped
by it altogether.

s@-Charles Dickens peers into the
secrets of guilty life in this manner !:
cit is dreadful thing to wait and
watch for the approach of death to
know that hope is gone, and recov-
cry impossible; and to sit and count
dreary hours through long, long
nights-such nights as only watch
ers by the bed Of sickness know. 1t
chills the blood to hear the dearest
secret of the heart, the pent up hid
den secrets of many years poured
forth by the unconscious, helpless
being before you and to think how
little the reserve and cunning Of q
whole life will avail when fever and
delirium tear off the mask at last
Strange tales have been told in the
wanderings of dying men; tales so
full Of guilt and crime that those who
stood by the sick persons couch have
paled in horror and alright, lest
they should be scared to madness by
what they saw and heard and many
a wretch has died alone, raving of
deeds, the very name Of which has
driven the boldest man away.

RDSeveral days ago we clipped
the following choice and beautiful
piece Of moralizing from the La
Crosse Leader We presume Lutte
Taylor, whose pen never stammers,
] author:
cd never forgets anything All
h.o works, from the creation Of a
world TO the tinting Of leaf, are
finished, perfect.
Did you ever stand under full
boughed heavy-foliaged tree in sum-
mer time, and pluck one of its myr-
lad leaves and examine its delicate
tracery, its coloring, the very perfec-
ton OF its finished beauty, and then
think of the countless number of
such leaves, Of the mighty forests
whose luxuriant growth cover so
much Of the world, and reflect that
among them all there is not a leaf
unfinished, each perfect in its form
and color.
And did you ever pick a flower,
either from cultured garden or by
wayside walk, enjoy its odor and
bless its beauty, and stop to think
how all he wide earth blossoms with
fragrant beauty, and no flower of
them all forgotten-the same careful
hand filling each glowing heart with
perfume and coloring each leaf with
care.
When we think of this omniscience,
Of this never-faiHng care, we feel
something of the attributes of that
Power-unseen, yet ever prensot ;
untouched, yet ever felt-who gives
to the violet its fragrance, who tints
with beauty the tiniest leaf,
and yet whose hand controls the
planets in their courses, and whose
fiat rules the counties worlds.

na-It has been long suspected, if
not positively known, that the pic
turesque story of Sir Isaac Newton
having been led to the discovery Of
the law of gravitation by the fall of
an apple, was as baseless as many of
the other fine traditions of genius
We fear it viii now lave to be finally
consigned to the limbo of slaughter
ed fctions. a remarkable manu-
script Of Newton has come to light. in
which he himself gives an account to
q friend of tho origin of his great
discovery, and not a word occurs to
show the fall of an apple had any
thing to do with It. In bidding 8
kindly farewell to this venerable
marvel who will refuse tear to iii
memory?

s~There is a horrible story. to

s1 There is a horrible story, too
horrible almost to be told, even of
Spaniards, that when the Cuban reb-
els came near capturing Las Tunas
the Spanish garrison set fire to the
quartrel, or prison, containing 1870
prisoners Of war. The quartreI was
wooden building, situated apart
from the city, but surrounded by
wooden slave pens, and the Spaniards
are said TO have bolted its heavy
doors and burned it to the ground
with its $50 human victims.

ELECTIoNs.-The Lacrosse RepuL-
Hcan thinks we have too many cleo
tons, and that our town, city, county,
state and congressional elections
should be held at one and the same
time. Agreed. The political pot is
kept boiling rather too steadily for
the good of the country The bus
mess Of conducting political cam
paigns is not only exciting, tut very
troublesome and expensive. The
people have to be enlightened by
documents and speakers, and some
times by other means of less pub
lie nature, and after that they have
to be got out to the polls. All this
costs time and money. What is
more, we apprehend that this con
slant seething of the political canl-
dron is the cause Of much Of the
prevailing apathy among good citi-
zens of which we have occasion to
complain So often If We were to
have but one election a year, or per-
haps one in two years, we think
greater interest would be taken by
the better portion of community,
not only in the elections, but in the
primary meetings, better nomina-
lions would be made, and the affairs
of state would be better administer
ed The subject is one well worthy
the attention OF the people MI

MATERIALS FOR SUITS.
Cloth is coming more and more
into favor for winter suits, and if of
good quality, there is nothing half
so satisfactory.
a light and all.wool ribbed cloth
is among the new and admired fab
RIGS Of the season, and is especially
adapted for serviceable suits: It il
two dollars a yard.
English proof cloth achiev-
| cd high degree of popularity last
season, and the favor accorded to it
| will undoubtedly ne increased this
season. 1t is so smooth, so durable,
so light, aud so warm, that ladies
generally accord it a decided prefer
ence over American waterproof,
which soon loses its color, and is ak
together rougher and eoarser in ap-
pearanoe. The price of the English
water proof is somewhat higher Git
is very scarce just now and we can
not tell. the precise cost but we pre-
sumo it will not be in advance of last
season 1.-TWO dollars yard, yard and
q half in width and the difference
Is more than made up in quality.
The "Janns" cord or English rep
can be obtained for one dollar and
seventy-fve cents per yard, alpacas
Of very nice quality for fifty cents,
very good black silk for two dollars.
Satins for trimming from three to
five dollars per yard, and yelvets
from three to twelve dollars.
Felveteen is taking its place among
the useful materials, and is especially
for children's outside gar
ments.
But the high style for the girl of
the period" this winter will be the
gayest of the clan tarltans in suits
trimmed with black velvet.

TRIMMINGS.

Flat trimmings promise to be very
fashionable this winter, in the shape
of broad ribbon velvet, heavy braids,
cords, gimps, and bindings, but
heavy corded braids principally, in
addition to black velvet, and the
galoons which are used so much for
cloth suits.
Fringes the same color as the ma
terial, or containing the coIors of the
material, are in high vogue, and trim
a suit richly, though somewhat ex-
pensiyely.
One Of the sensations consists of
white dresses, white grenadine or
white mohair, trimmed with black
velvet and black knotted silk fringe.
Cords, gimps, and narrow gallons.
striped in the Roman colors, are us.
ed to trim gray or black alpaca
dresses with very good effect and
Roman striped silk or satin is also
largely used, cut inInarrow bias folds
which alternate with others of tho
material, or arc employed MS head
ings to q fringe trimming.
These goods, striped on black or
some more striking colors, are also
cut in revers, sailor collars. and the
broad mousquetaire cuffs now worn
and form most effective finish to
plain house dresses of merine, en-
press cloth, or cashmere.
