Harper's Basar, treating of the effect
of simplicity in the midst of elaborate
and expensive artifce, says: "Lct a
young woman, with no hair but her own.
and that simply dressed, enter room
filled with those whose heads are elabo-
rately built up with profusion of pur-
chased locks, and see who will be m most
admired. Il is great advantage for II
woman, in these days of artifice, to re-
main herself, and thus be unlike every
one else. A simple dress, white or
black, will produce the greatest effect
when surrounded by the most gorgeous
costumes. These serve, as it were, as
frames for the former, and women are
often forced to confess that they have
draped themselves magnificently, at m
immense expense, for no other pupose
than to heighten, Ivy contrast, the
beauty Of rival. In fact, they have
been wearing dress which is very be-
coming to-others."

An enterprising business man of Hart
ford, Conn, runs two branches of trade,
to wit: grocery aud fish market; the
grocery himself, the 6sh market by q
deputy, md every night the latter makes
returns of the proceeds of the davis
business to the proprietor. A few days
since the grocer found in his fish market
returns counterfeit five-dollar bill. He
didn't like to lose it, and didn't quite
want to take the chances of trying to
pass it, So he called IN old darkey who
was hanging about the premises, and
said to him:
"Sam, here's fve-dollar bill that's q
little doubtful. If you'll take it and
pass it, I'll give you dollar of the
change"
Every WELL" said Sam, and he took
the bill and went of. Later in the day,
he returned, having accomplished the
feat, and handed over four dollars in
good money to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting the
cash returns from his fish market, was
more surprised than delighted to find
the identical FIVE in the pile.
''Look here" said he sharply to his
fish market clerk, "here's counterfeit
bill-who'd ye take it Of? Didn't you
know twas bad?"
The clerk took it and looked ut it g
moment.
ooh! yes" said he, II remember now
took it OF Sam, the darkey. thought
it was little doubtful, and wasn't going
to take it, but he said he got of you, SO ]
thought it was all rig hit"

LABOR. Labor, honest labor, is mighty
and beautiful. Activity is the ruling
clement of life, and its highest relish.
Luxuries and conquest nre the results of
labor; we can imagine nothing without
it. The noblest man of earth is he who
puts hands cheerfully and proudly to
honest labor. Labor is business and
ordinance of God. Suspend labor, and
where is the glory and pomp of the
earth-tho fruit, fields and palaces, and
the fashionings of matter for which men
strive and war? Let tho labor-scorner
look to himself, and learn what are the
trophies. From tho crown of his head
to the sole of his foot, unless he is a
Carib, naked as tho beast, he is the
debtor and slave of toll. The labor
which he scorns, has tricked him into
the stature and appearance of man.
Where gets he his garmcnting and
equipage? Let labor answer. Labor
which makes music in tue mine and fur
row, and the forge. o, scorn labor, do
you-man who never yet earned q NOR
sci of bread! Labor pities you, proud
fool, and laughs you to scorn. You shall
pass to dust, forgotten, but labor will
live on forever, glorious in its conquests
and monument.
