FAsnIoN.-Fashion rules the world,
and most tyrannical mistress she is,
compelling people to submit to the most
inconvcnicnt things imaginable, for
fashions sake. She pinches our feet
with tight shoes, or chokes us with a
tight handkerchief, or squeezes the
breath out Of our body BY tight lacing.
She makes people sit up at nights
when they ought to be in bed, aud keeps
them in bed in the morning when they
ought to be up and doing.
She makes it vulgar to wait on our
selves, and gcntccl to live idle and
useless.
She makes people visit when they
would rather stay ut home, eat when
they are not hungry, aud drink when
they are not thirsty.
She inyades cur pleasures and in.ar,
rupts our business.
She compels people to dress gaily,
whether upon their property or that OF
others; whether agreeable TO the word OF
God or the dictates of pride.
Sho ruins the health aud produces
sickness, disease and occasions death.
She makes foolish parents, invalids OF
children, and servants of all.
She is a tormentor of conscience, de-
spoiler of morality, an enemy of religion,
and no one can be her companion and
enjoy either.
She is a despot of the highest grade,
full of intrigue and cunning; and get
husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons,
daughters, and servants, black aud white,
voluntarily have become her obedient
servants and slaves, aud vie with one
another to see who shall be most obscqu.
ious."

A Washington letter says: 1.-TWO rep
resentatives of foreign banking houses
Gone from London and one from Frank.
forD have arrived in this country for the
purpose of making propositions to the
government to negotiate abroad a four
and half per cent. loan, should Con.
gress authorize it, on the plan submitted
by Secretary Boutwell, in his annual re-
port, and which will be considered at an
carly day by the Senate Finance Com
mittec. They state that if the interest
is made payable semi-annually in Lon
don, Paris and Frankfort, they Will be
able to effect the sale of at least two
hundred millions of dollars of such a
loan. Pending the action of Congress
on this question, the terms on which
these foreign houses will undertake the
proposed loan will be submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury These are of
course based on commission, which, it
is said viii be much less than was paid
for selling the fve-t twenties.

a LITTLE Clint BURIED ALIVE
About four weeks ago n little German
girl in Brooklyn, Ohio, took sick with
the lock jaw, and in few days she was
thought dead and buried On the even.
ing of her burial, the mother, for some
reason was led to the grave, aud, with
her car pressed close to the ground,
thought she heard noise and believed
her child to be moving in its coffin. She
withheld from asking assistance for fear
of being ridiculed, and Immediately pro.
cured spade and began to dig up the
earth. Soon she came to the coffin, and
hurriedly taking it from tie earth, open
cd it and there found the body of her
child nine hours after its burial, us warm
as if it were living, ON its side. She
took the child to her house, where ply
sician was Immediately called in, and
every restorative applied TO bring the
child to life was too late. The soul had
taken its fight, and in few hours more
the body was cold and icy. 1t was soon
buried again, and has not since bee dis
turbed -Bm6uio Erprcss.

RIcH FOR A MaMENT-Thc British
ship britannia was wrecked off the coast
OF Brazil, and had on board large con,
sisnment Of Spanish dollars. Ia :he
hope of saving some of them humber
of barrels were br ught on deck, but the
vessel went to pieces SO fast that the only
hope for life was in taking at once to the
boats. The last boat was about to pusl,
of, when young midshipman went back
to see if any one was still on board. To
his surprise, there sat man on deck
with hatchet in his hand, with whicl.
he had broken open several Of tho casks
the contents of which he was now hcap.
ing up about him.
"What are you doing there ?" shouted
the youth. ''Don't you know the ship
is fast going to pieces z"
"The ship may" said the man; /; 81
have lived poor wretch all my life, and

His remonstrances were answered only
by another flourish of the hatchet, and
he was left to his fate.
We should count such person a mad
man, but he has too many in,itators
Men seem determined to die rich at all
hazards. Least of all risks do they count
the chance of losing the soul in the

How TO FIT A COLLAR TO A HORSE.
In purchasing Collar for your horse,
it is important to get one that fits him.
as both the animal and yourself will thus
be saved much annoyance. The Harness
and Carriage Journal says "The plan
adopted in the West, aud which, we are
assured by men who have been long in
the collar business, docs not injure the
collar in the least, is to dip it in water
until the leather is thoroughly wet, then
put it on the horse, secure the names
firmly, keeping it there until it becomes
dry. 1t is all the better if heavy loads
are to be drawn, as that causes the col
lar to be more evenly fitted to the neck
and sholder. Ifpossible, the collar sho
uld be kept on from four to five hours
when it will be perfectly dry and retain
the same shape ever aftcrwnrd, and ns
ii is exactly fitted to the form of the
neck, VIII never preduce cnaIes or surcs
on the horses neck"
