1t is but rarely that as much good
sense is found in fashion letter rs APP
pears IN a recent article from the pom
of Mrs. ID. G. Croly ("Jennic june.
Mrs. Croly is the best authority in
America on all matters Of tasteful
dress or pure fashion. She says:
mo more ruinous and absolutely
silly idea has ever taken possession
Of woman than this, that dress
could only be worn once, twice, or q
few times, and that the more costly
it is the less il must be worn. Why,
it takes some time to adapt oneself
to dress, as it does TO new shoes,
and when we have fitted ourselves
to it, become acquainted with its
curves and lines and folds, felt its
softness, and know how its simmer
liz up eyes and hair, and impaired
radiance TO the whole appearance of
the wearer, we begin to feel affection
for it and will adopt it as part of our
personality. 1t is mere refinement
of torture TO have beautiful things,
and be obliged to throw them aside,
Just as one is beginning to feel sort
of love for them. "A thing Of beauty
is joy forever, and one clings to the
memory OF some pale pink or light
blue, or rich black, or pure cream
color that has. been signalized by spe-
cial evidences Of approval, because,
try as we may, we never can quite re-
produce the same design or the same
impression. Tho universe has NOV
Cd since that twice, and the pieces
never como together in precisely the
same way again, even so far rs to give
us duplicate Of dresses, words or
looks exactly like those which we
have known. Women to dress we'll
should buy fewer dresses, be more
careful what they buy and wear
them as if they were, as indeed they
are, part of tboir personality"

THE HERALD.
Moral Effects of Beauty.

1t has been said by Schiller, in his
letters on Ksthetic culture, that the
sense Of beauty never furthered the
performance Of single duty. And
though this falsity is not wholly and
in terms admitted, yet it seems to be
partly and practically 80 in much of
the doing and teaching even Of holy
men, who, in the recommending Of the
love Of God to US, refer us but seldom
to those things in which it is most
abundantly and Immediately shown /;
though they insist much on his CIV
ing of bread, and raiment, health
(Which he gives to all inferior crea-
turesl, that glory of his works which
he has permitted us alone TO perceiyei
they tell us often to mediate in the
closet, but they send us not, like Is.
aac. into the fields at even; they
dwell on the duty Of self denial, but
they exhibit not the duty of delight.
1t seems Ia me that tho real sourc-
% Of this bluntness in tho feelings
toward the splendor Of the grass and
the glory Of the flowers, arc less to
be found in ardor Of occupation, in
seriousness Of compassion, or heaven
illness Of desire, than in the turning
Of the oye at intervals Of rest too
selfshly within the want Of power
TO shake off the anxieties of actual
and near interest, and to leave results
in Gods hands; the scorn OF all that
does not seem Immediately apt for
our purpose, or open to our under
standing, and, perhaps, something OF
pride which desires rather to investi-
gate than to feel.
/ believe that the root of almost
every schism and heresy from which
the Christian church has ever suffer-
ed has been the effort of men to earn
rather than to receive their saliva
ton and that the reason that
preaching is so commonly ineffectu-
al is, that il calls on men oftener to
work for God, than to behold God
working for them. If for every re-
buko that wo utter Of mons vices,
wo put forth claim upon their
hearts if for every assertion of Gods
demands from them, we could sub
stitute a display of his kindness to
them If, in fine instead of assuming
tho being or an awful Deity, which
men, though they cannot deny, are
always unwilling, sometimes unable
to conceive, we were to show them
near, visible inevitable, but all beni>
fcent Deity, whose presence makes
the earth itself heaven, | think
there would BIO fewer deaf children

no. Women sometimes do not val
nc their husbands Us they ought
They not unfrequently learn the
value Of a good husband for the first
time by tho loss Of him. Yet the
husband is the very root-tree of the
house-tho corner stone of tho edi-
fce-the keystone called home. He
is the bread winner Of the family
its defense and its glory-the begin
ming and tic end of the golden chain
Of life which surrounds tits con-
troler, Isw-givor and it's king. Yet,
wo say, how frail is that lite on which
so much depends. How frail is the
life Of tho husband and father =
Whom he is taken away, who shall

gloomy clouds hover over the house
When ho is dead what darkne Sc

The GREAT FAvoRIrE STILL HOLDS IT'S
PLACE.-It can not be denied that when a
sewing machine can be found in every town
and hamlet, every mandatory, workshop
or household, that il must possess wonder
full merits to make it thus popular with all
classes-that there is no humbug about it.,
and if, upon the top of all these facts, the
sale goes on increasing year after year in
greater proportion than ever known before
of any other kind of machinery, who can
doubt its being almost Indispensable These
facts relate to Singers improved sewing
machine. Messrs. William L. Cooper & Co.,
No. Camp street are the agents.

morning, that they have just received, di-
rect from Europe, per steamship Fire
Queen, large portion of their fall importa-
tons, which consist of general stock OF
seasonable goods. When we remember
that Mr.. Holmes. not satisfied with having
the most magnificent store in the country,
always insists upon stocking it fresh from
all quarters of the globe with everything
desirable in his line, it will be understood
that these new goods are worth the inspec-
ton of our lady readers.

PROOF UPON PROOF.-Such is in fact the
amount of evidence which is continually
coming in from all quarters, as to the value
of Grover & Bakers sewing machines for
every description of. work. Yesterday it
was the certificate of the lady directors of
one of the largest female industrial asy-
lums in the country. To-day it is hundreds
of certificates from Observation-Disclosures
who have used them ON homework for years;
the unanimous award of hundreds OF fair
committees, and we might say boxes full of
medals, plate and diplomas, This ought to
be convincing, and it does convince. A sew
ing machine could not do better work than
it does, that's all about it.

every parish in the State, and particularly
for the new parishes created at the last SEES

creating them do not designate suthciently,
accurate the wards taken from the several
parishes to form the new, to enable me
TO ascertain the number of educable chill

Tax assessors and collectors OF the new
parishes will confer a great favor by tur-
nishing this Office with their enumeration
lists at as an early day as practicable, and
it is hoped that school directors will give
this matter their prompt attention, as 1t Is
impossible to make appointments OF the

lists of the educable youths, as provided
for by law.

Gated the old and reliable piano, organ and
music house of Philip Werlein. The house
of Werlein has possibly, since its COM

than any similar concern in the South.
From the fact that its business continues to
increase is the strongest evidence of the sat
isfaction Mr.. Werlein gives to those who
deal with him. His location being favor
able to small business expenses, he claims
to give this advantage to buyers.
