DIED.

DICKsON-At Camden Mills, Ill, on Sunday
evening, October I'd, 1870, Berlie K, youngest
daughter of George NJ. and Julia A. Dickson
aged wears, months and days.
Funeral this afternoon At o'clock.
Her gentle soul was gathered
Up through the midnight blue,
as the glory of the sun exhausts
The chalices of dew.
Why "mourn because she has fed
This garden of tears and strife2
The flower of her soul lays folded
In the book of Endless Life.
The br ken heart may still
Look upward to the skies;
For, whstsoe'er our i'll,
Faith never dies"

CH1aNoNs 1t is announced, upon the
authority of Berlin newspaper, that
the ehisaon has gone quite out of fashion
IN that city, nobody wearing this un-
slightly addendum except the demi-
monde. How good will it be, the Iri-
bune says, for our eyes, if our charming
American young women las we'll as the
moro ancienD will but follow this ex-
ample! It is not possible to make this
artificial execrescence1.sig ightly-it is n
deformity upon the tall and equally SO
upon the short. With the natural hair
carried we'll back and tied up behind the
ears. finely shaped head has some
chance of being recognized and duly ad
mired; but the head Of Venus herself
would be insupportablo in n bag-wig.
Through what mysterious influence is it
that fashion and deformity are always
going hand in hand?

leaving his sfesidencs 60 go down town,
as has beensihis usual custom for many
years, withfth the exception only of short
interval in the spring OF 1850, during
which lie was confined to his bed by in
juries received in attempting to stop a
runaway horse by thoughtlessly placing
himself directly in its wake and throw
ing up his hands and shouting, which, if
he had done SO oven q single moment
sooner, must inevitably have frightened
the animal still more instead Of checking
its speed, although disastrous enough to
himself as it was, and rendered more
melancholy and distressing by reason of
the presence of his wife's mother, who
was there and saw tho occurrence, not
withstanding it is at least likely, though
not necessarily so, that she should be
accommodating in another direction when
incidents occur, not being yivacious and
on the lookout, as general thing, but
even the reverse, as her own mother is
stated, who is no more, but died in the
full hope of glorious resurrection, up
wards of threo years ago, aged eighty-si1,
being Christian woman and without
guile, as it were, or property, in conse-
quence of the fire OF 1849, which de-
stroyed every solitary thing she had in
the world. But such is life. Let us all
take warning by this solemn occurrence,
and let us endeavor SO to conduct our
