THE IMMODEsT FASHIONS.

There are some features in the dress
of the present day which every modest
wife should shrink from showing upon
herself, every careful mother should pro-
hibit in her daughters things that in
stead of pleasing the pure senses are a
direct or covert appeal to sensuallty,
and can have no other purpose-orna-
ments that are arranged SO as to attract
the eye to portions of the person that
should be passed over by the modest
gaze . style that gives a character to
to the walk like that of the lascivious
dances of the East; distortions of limb
and figure that are injurious to health,
and which can have no other recon-
mendation than they suggest certain
ideas as to the female form that are
agreeable to the animal called man, look
ing As az animal on woman. The Sec
ond French Empire, appealing as it did
systematically to everything that was
impure and base in man, has infected
the fashion of dress to an unsual degree :;
and very many follow the fashions with
out thinking anything about them. But
it should be borne in mind that orna-
mented dress is always designed to be
effective in some direction. It produces
some effect upon the spectators, it has
some appreciable influence upon the
wearers. Woman cannot wear an i'm
pure style of dress, especially one that
has in it an element of coarse sansuali-
ty, with out an injury to their own per-
feet purity and refinement, which every
mother must watch over in her daugh-
ters. and every wife guard religiously in
herself.

INTEMPERANCE.

When any desire becomes so intense
as to crowd out other and higher aims
when we yield willing assent to its i'm
pulsions, regardless of superior claims
we aLe guilty of intemperance. There
are now ten thousand fashionable and
common indulgences that deserve the
name as much as the one which now
monopolizes it. Those who eat for the
pleasure of the sensation, after natural
hunger is satisfied. who sleep long after
nature is refreshed, who protract their
amusements far into the hours of repose
who devote their time, money and ener-
gles to frivolous pursuits or enervatinp
excltements, are as truly intemperate
as the poor drunkard who is selling his
manhood for glass of liquor. There is
lntemperance In business also, as we'll as

Sagacity of Mare-A Case for Oar.

Virginia City Mountain, Sept. 1871

Virginia City Mountain Sept. 49,
A remarkable instance of the sagacity
lis it not reason p of a horse has come
Norwich. owns an unbroken cayuse
his house. The mare, which is very
wild has young colt at her side. A
rev nights since, after MIR. Fletcher had
returned he was aroused by the mare
coming to the window OF his house, and
by pawning, neighing. and in every way
possible trying to get his attention. This
continuing for some time he got up and
went out and drove her away, and re-
turned again to bed but she imme.
diately returned, and, if possible, in
creased her demonstrations he again
went out, when the mare me up to
him, although always before she had
been very shy of allowing any one to
come within reach Of her, then ran on
few yards before him, continuing her
neighing; then, as he did not follow her
she returned to him rubbing against
him In the most demonstrative
manner. He attempted to drive her of,
struck her with a stick, and followed
her few yards to frighten her away.
As soon, however, as he returned towards
the house she returned and tried in every
way to prevent him from doing so. He
then remarked that her colt was not with
her fact he had not noticed before, as it
was quite cold.
1t occurred to him then to follow her,
which he did. So soon as she saw he
was doing so, she ran off before him,
stopped every few yards, turning round
TO see that he was still following. then
again running ON, keeping up her call
Ing until she reached distant part of
the field, where she stopped at an old
prospect hole"
On coming up with her, she again
commenced rubbing against him, and
drew his attention to the hole, where
he soon discovered the colt 1t appears
it had slipped into it and was unable
to get out, and the mare had taken this
method to obtain assistance Being I'M
able to get it out alone, Mr.. Fletcher
went for some of his neighbors, and
with them returned. While they were
taking the little fellow out. the mare
manifested the most intense delight, and
seemed almost beside herself with
joy; and afterwards, when the men had
got 1t out of the hole, she came up to Mr..
Fletcher. placed her nose on his
shoulder, and gave every sign of gratitude
that human mother might under sim
liar circumstances. Who will say that
the horse does not reason?

A second victim of the Greeley torch
light procession Of Plug uglies died last
week in Baltimore, A post-mortem ex
animation on the body of the first victim,
Capt. Barrett, president of the Republi-
can Club, fully sustained the charge that
his murder was deliberate. The assas-
sin, who ran out of the ranks and shot
him, WAS so near that his clothing was
found to be scorched by the fash Of the
pistol, and so the powder actually pene-
trated the flesh. The police of the city
are actively searching for the murderers.
The Pittsburgh Commercial notes it as
a fact Of no little significance that Gen.
Hartranft carried his own county against
an Opposition majority of about 800 !;
that Buckalew ran behind his ticket in
his county while Lancaster, the home
of Billingfelt. gave Hartranft 5000 ma
jority, and Bellefonte, the home of Cur
tin, gave Hartranft au increased MAORI

How vain the erratic longngs OF the mind

Here in the Present still we mourn and cry
After a kingdom we may call our own;
Where we may rule all lofty things, and high,
From some bright, dazzling and all powerful

Where we might sit for aye and never weary,
Create new worlds in our deep, boundless souls
Where never more Deaths icy blast so drsary

O foolish We! This realm is all around;
Already are we seated on its throne;
It's scepter, in our grasp is firmly bound,
And vet we use it not, but only moan.
Canwe not see? Does not the sun of Duty
Shine ali around US with its dazzling light;
Can we not now create new worlds of beauty
Deep in our gloomy souls sepulchral night?
Here. in the present, is the battle won.
