placed as an aigrette. This hat has
a rather high sloping crown and mar
row pointed brimS coming down very
much upon the forehead infront.
A cold spring Is succeeding to a
mild winter, and the consequence IL,
no great change is as yet discernible
in walking toilets. The doubfetskfft-
ed, looped-up dress of silk or fancy
material is worn with the tight-fit-
ting paletot, and very wide sash, ar
ranged into q large bow at the back.
A new style of sash, called ceinture
cascade, falls in an abundance of loops
of ribbon, with fringed lappets of
wide ribbon. The fringe is formed by
unravelling the ends of the ribbon.
One of the new short walking cos
tunes has short under-skirt of col
0red serge, trimmed with a deep
fiounce, headed by cross-strip of
black velvet. The dress is of the
same material as the underskirt; the
front part Is plain and very short at
the back and sides; Is long and full,
and trimmed with q slightly gath
cred flounce and a velvet strip. This
trimming is continued In braces upon
the bodice. The tight sleeves have
no ornament Puff bonnet of black
lace and satin, ornamented with red
roses and foliage. black lace lappets
falling at the back.
Long looped-up skirts are still gen.
orally preferred to short ones, and
considered more elegant, even for
walking-dresses. A new style of
porte-jupe Is i'm great vogue this spring
lit is called the pOrte-jupe Trianon.
1t forms an ornament upon the skirt,
and throws 1t back, looping 1t up
just in the way that the youthful
Marie Antoinette lOoped up her dress
when she played at being milkmaid
in her little mimic farm of Triaf1on.
The porte-jupe forms double clasp,
taking up the material of the dress
folds. 1t is Ornamented in different
ways with passementerie Ovals of
rosette, satin bows or velvet puffs.
Circulars will be worn this spring !;
they generally are i'm the denai-sdison,
taking the place of shawls, which
are gone quite out of fashion; but we
believe the tight-fitting paletot, form
ing at once bodice and second skirt,
will be the favorite mantle Of the
summer.
Some of the new spring toilets seen
at Longchamps were partly striped
and partly plain-thus: skirt of green
silk, with stripes of black satin, trim
med round the bottom with fiounce
cut on the cross, and headed with o
cross-strip; this skirt is puffed out on
either side at the top. Dress of plain
green silk. The skirt Is open on each
side, showing the puffs of the striped
skirt, and itself forming a third puff
at the back; i'm front it has the shape
of a small rounded apron. High
bodice; tight sleeves trimmed round
the top and on the outer seam with a
quilting of black satin.

NEWSPAPER DECISIONS The fol-

Boy suffrage is gaining ground.

Boy suffrage is gaining ground. A
Convention, In favor of giving Young
America the ballot, Is to be held i'm
Manchester, New Hampshire, on the
9th of thepresent month. The juve-
niles find that they can get no protec-
ton against the barbarism Of big -fisted
school teachers, the unreasonable res
trictions of stern parents, or any of
the expressions to which youthful hu-
manity is subject, except through the

with the rod will be hunted off to
the more congenial employment oi

who contract "bubs's" allowance Ul

Home, where father and mother,
brother, sister, have unity of inter-
ests, sympathy and affection, becomes
in mature life the most sacred pic
ture,
"That hangs on Memory's WALL"
In after years the destroying angel
has crossed the threshold of the de-
serted spot on earth, and silenced its
familiar voices in their death, when
the hand of changing time has torn
down the woodbines that climb all
above its portals and it's windows, and
when its paths echo only to the tread OF
the strangers feet, how often does re-
membrance lead us back to its sacred
precints, and make us realize that the
home of childhood Is the brightest
scene-the fairiest oasis i'm the desert
of life.
1t is during these moments of retro
spection that the religious instruction
Of youths flows back upon the SOUL
1t Is then that we kneel by the side
of her.
"Whose breast with gentle pillows
Rocked to rest our infant woe,
and lisp over the prayers she taught
us. Poetry has encircled the name
of "mOther" whith halos of beauty
but its language will never be ade.
quate to measure her infience. To hel
the first years Of our lives belong, and
it is then in her power to plant seeds
of virtue that will bud and blossom
in the soul when age has plowed deep
furrows in our cheeks. The prayers
of pious mother are priceless lega
cy. They are like the dews of heav'
en-, which first ascend from the earth
to the skies, and then descend again
to bless and refresh the unfolding
plant. Infidelity may array itsel
against the Bible, and its clamors may
be loud among the assemblies ofmen
but 1t has not the courage to go int
the sanctuary of a religious home
and listen to the earnest prayers of ,
holy mother, as she points he
children to the throne Of God.-Odt

LENGTH OF SERMoNs.-The ques-
tion is asked, how long ought n SER
mon TO be? Well, that depends on
its thickness. We have heard some
sermons so thick through with solid
thought that the preacher ought not
TO stop under two hours. We have
heard others 50 thin that il the
preacher had ceased talking at the
end of fifteen minutes, il would have
been of proper proportions; so well
proportioned, indeed that it would
not have been remembered otherwise
than rs very good sermon. The
general run of sermons should cut of
AZ the end Of about thirty minutes. =
Ii man talks an hour, or an houl
and a half he wants TO be sure he ha,
got thick sermon.

Masonic Installation.

The newly elected officers of River

presence OF a goodly number of specta-

A Slight Mistake.

There is living within the circle of fif-
ty miles from a certain town in the good
county of Columbia, a fine old Republi-
can gentleman-one of the sterling kind
of whom the following story is told.
Though it is an old one, we do not re-
member ever seeing it in print.
About the time the rebellion broke
out, one of the old mans sons being in
Missouri, joined a company of "Home
Guards and did valient service in the
field. Just after the battle of Lexing
ton, Mo-, which unfortunately resulted in
the capture Of Muligan's command, the
young man came home on a brief fur

meeting was held at an adjacent village.

course, and as there were several persons
Of note present whom the oil man knew,

others, he met DIR. D., an old friend, and

Fishing. Dec. Be. 1865.

On the last day of the old year, par
tp of fishermen drew seine in the open
river in front of the Merchants hotel, in
this city-a feat that cannot be perform
ed in mid-winter in many of the streams
that are said to flow in more genial cline.
As the labors of our fishermen were re-
warded after the manner of John Browns
boys who "went out to dig some CLANS"
this may be relied on as no fish story.
But it is good proof of the mild and
beautiful weather we have been enjoying
for the past three weeks.
