actions, and factions speak louder than
words. y Gould that young lady but know
that the Glove of a hat" gorgeous dress
and costly jewelry she wears, at a ruinous
expense to her dear Pa, in order to catch a
husband, is an insurmountaole barrier be-
tween her and her object, methinks that
clear and birdlike voice would deaden, and
that countenance all aglow with costly
whiting, and those eyes lit up With hope
that she is making the desired impression
on his heart, would become as dull AZ lead.
for the first thought that enters his mind
is, How can |, with my small, honestly
earned wages, support that extravaganza
to say nothing of the rent of a house ut a
cost double my inoome--and then the fur
niture, horses carriages, and seryants?"-
But there is no need of enumerating, for
he has given it all up with deep groan in
spirit, and she retires to the home of her
Pa, sigbing still deeper than he, if posi-
bic. Men are deferred from marrying,
therefore, by fashion; hence, thousands of
beautiful and accomplished young ladies
must tall victims to the inevitable result.
O, thou fell monster, Fashion ! ! when
wilt thou relinquiSh thy grasp upon the
Virtue and Vitals of thy subjects? LISTEN.
Not until Lie Insurance shall have tri-
unphed over Fashion, by using the pres
ent surplus earnings to protect those de-
pendent upon us from ruin, rather than
spending 1t on Fashion, which hastens
their ruin, as seen above.

Sappho had already arrived there, towed
by the Gem. The wind was blowing off
shore, west-southwest, with considerable
sea, though less than was anticipated The
Cambria signalled to the umpires her pre-
ference for a triangular course, but they
refused to grant it. The Cambria then
accepted a proposal to sail sixty miles TO
wlndward, the course to be around Cher
bourg breakwater, by the western entrance.
AsAbury won the toss and took the
weather station, and everything was ready
for start. The warning gun was fired at

This is not a, dead beat to windward, and
the answer was returned This is the best
the umpire can do, being only halt point

the signal, "a dead beat, or no race. She

were given on board the American yacht as

JUDGMENT has just been given in New
York against railroad in case of inter
est to all travellers on yearly tickets. A
traveller purchased ticket that entitled
him to hundred rides. He paid, there
fore, for one hundred rides; but when ne
had taken fifty rides he lost bis ticket,
which was the only evidence he had OF
having paid his money. The railroad COM
pany tried to take advantage of his loss by
compelling him to pay again, ard he sued
for so much money as would pay for the
fifty rides yet due, aud the railroad COM
many had to come down.
