THE FASHIONS.

The prettiest fashion we have had
for many a day is the universally pop
ular and universally becoming fashion
of wearing white, aud it will be carried
into the fall and winter as far practi-
cable. White cloth cloaks and white
plush sacks will enliven our promen-
AIDES, while white jackets and basques
will give July aspect to the frosties
day in January. Fail dresses, like
summer ones, are made with over-skirts
tight-fiittiDg basques or polonaise.
Capes lOoped up at the shoulder are
still worn, but not so much affected
lately. SO, also, are skeleton basques,
but the cold weather will neccessitate
a change in outside garments soon.
Ladies cloth will be much worn for suits
this winter; the favorite shades will be
brown, olive, invisible green and blue
Empress cloth and velOurs will find
many purch hasers, and waterproof lis
becoming almost Indispensable. 1t is
too soon to say anything positive about
furs, but it is stated upon good author
ity that .he furriers are coming out
with something original in their hne.
Brass Buttons Will be worn in ladies'
cloth dresses. inexpensive dresses
have sashes of the same material.
Feathers will be much used this fall
and winter, in every conceivable form
and way. Fur hats will be worn this
winter. 'sLucifer" is the name of the
new shade OF red that will be in fashion
this autumn and winter. Chintz col
ored satin cord will be much used in
trimming. Scotch plaids are coming
in to stay. English waterproof should
be laid past for rainy day. Peacocks'
feathers will be used tor trimming.
Frills and flounces are still in favor.

THE BROOK,

Up In the wild, where no one comes to
look.
There lives and sings'a little lonely brook
Liveth and singeth in the dreary pines,
Yet creepeth on where the day light shines.
Pure from their heaven, in mountain chal-
lice caught,
1t drinks the rain as drinks the soul her
thought;
And down the dim hollows, where it winds
along,
Bears its life-burden of unlistened song.
catch the murmur of it's undertone
That singeth ceasely, alone! alonel
And hear afar, the rivers gloriously
Shout on their path towards the shining
sea!
The voiceful rivers, chanting to the sun;
And wearing names of honor every one;
Out reaching wide, and joining hands with
hands,
To pour great gifts along the baslzing lands.
All, lonely, brook! creep onward through
the pines,
Rest through the gloom to where the day
light shines;
Sing on among the stones, and secretly
Feel how the floods are all akin to thee!
Drink the sweet rain the gentle heaven
sendeth,
Hold thine own path, howe'er it tendeth.
For somewhere underneath the eternal sky,
Thou, too, shall find the rivers by-and-by |!

AN IGNORANT MINISTER.

An editor and his friend whose church
| preferences were Baptist-ward, had an
appointment with a gentleman to meet
them at Forest, Ohio, where the ar
rangement OF the trains would permit
of a ten minutes talk at 2 A. ~, and
enable the editor and his companion to
return home in time for a few hours
sleep. The pair arrived at midnight,
and had two hours of broken night
before them, They walked over to a
refreshment saloon, and made totera-
bile supper on German sausage and
crackers and glass OF cold punch.
While thus engaged an insinuating in
dividual drew near, called for similar
refreshments, and having paid this deli
cate compliment to the taste OF the two
gentlemen. sought a conversation.
"Just come on the train from the
east?"
"Yes,' curtly replied Mr.. Editor.
"Going north ?"
"No."
"South ?"
"No."
"Staving over here?"
''Seems like it,"
"Going to stay here?"
"No."
"Going west, then'"
mo"
"See here" said the fellow, after a
mome,ntary, pause; "cant We amuse
ourselves ?'
"Amuse ourselves how? ?"
"Got any cardsp'
"Cards what cards business cardsP'
"No, no-cards to play WITH"
"How play? play what ?'
"Why, cards-euchre, seven up, old
sledge, you know"
"Why, you mean gambling, don It
you ?" exclaimed the man {of the quill,
feigning astonishment.
"Of course do"
"Young man." replied he, drawing
himself up and putting on much style,
81 am a minister, and don't know one
card from another"
"You minister What Church do
you belong to?"
This was poser. The editor realiz-
ed instantly that, though dressed in
black. he could not pass for Catholic
priest or an e piscopalian, and that
Presbyterians and Methodists rather
eschewed such refreshments as cold
punches; so he promptly, andH with
some asperity, as if utterly to extin-
guish the impertinent bore, responded.
"A Baptist Minister"
Quick as a flash came the reply: "You
a Baptist minister and not know one
card from another q Of q Baptist
minister you are," and walked off, with
ALI expression of supreme contempt at
ignorance 50 utterly disgusting. .-Dralo-
er, Harper'S Magazine for September.

SEED WHEAT.

Some of the farmers near Lexington
have experimenting in new varie-
ties OF wheat, with the view of ascer-
tanning what varieties will best suit our
climate and soil,
Such experiments are very commen-
dable, and the result ought to be made
known to the farmers of the county,
DiehPs white wheat, so highly recon-
mended IN the Northern States, was
tested on four or five different farms,
and slgnally failed in every case. L

weeks of harvest and then utterly fail

TOBACCO REFUSE.

John w. Dickens, LOUISVILLE, KY, has
several tons, and asks what u Sc can be
made of it.
Horace Greeley-I gave S10a ton last
Spring for strips, to use as mulch on
my orchard. l may have given too
much, but am sure my orchard was
benefited.
A. s. Fuller-I doubt whether you
did give too much. My advice to that
Louisville man is to use his strips as
manure on his grounds.
j. A. Whitney-By analysis the dust
and strips of tobacco should be very
useful as manure. They are rich in
potash and other elements of plant
food.
DR.. Trimble-The best application l
ever tried to drive away bugs and worms
from plants is very strong tobacco
tea. But t must be very strong. 1t
will disgust lice thrips and small bugs,
but not the curculio.

GOD BLESS THE FARM.

God bless the farm-the dear old farmi
God bless IL every rood
Where willing heart and steady arm
Can earn an honest livelihood
Can from the coarse and fertile soil
Win back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow field and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers!
And every Leaf that's gently shook
By evening breeze or morning showers,
God bless them all each leafs a gem
In natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that in early spring
Blush rich with fragrant flowers,
And with each autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits in golden showers,
Like pomegranites on Aaron's rod,
A miracle from Natures God.
And may He bless the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reigni
No happier spot meath Heavens high dome
Doth this broad, beauteous earth contain,
Than where, secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful life.
Unvexed by toll and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mold,
Then scatters ON the golden grain,
And reaps reward hundred fold.
He dwells where grace and beauty charm,
For God hath blest his home and farm.

tF Behold, thou benighted South

A lady correspondents wrote to The

nights ago upon retiring to rest, the
gas being out and the room quite dark,
the writer's attention was directed to
her foot, which was Illuminated by light
which upon examination was found to
be phosphorescent,a and proceeded from
the upper side of the fourth toe of the
right foot. Upon rubbing it with the
hand the light increased and followed
up the foot, the fumes filling the room
with disagreeable odor. This lasted
some time, when the foot was Immersed
in basin of water, hoping 20 quench
the light, but to no purpose. for it con-
tinued beneath the surface of the wa
ter, the fumes rising above. The foot
was taken out and wiped dry, but the
light still remained. A second INNER
sion Of the foot followed and soap ap-
piled, with the same result. No more
experiments we're tried, and after a
time it gradually faded and disappear

mena was about three-quarters of an
hour. The lady's husband substanti-
