Life Echoes.

''The echoes of our lives are ever coming back
upon u.s." @E
"There's the echo rock" said Marsham;
and, as he spoke, he flung merry laugh
across the meadows that lay between us
and the elevation
''Not tone lost" said we.
"Send over that laugh again, Mar
sham" Az
Again, at our word, went his ringing
voice, cleaving the still air like the notes
of bird.
"The imitation is almost perfect" said
we "Let us try this echo with differ
ent sound"
We sent strong, CHEEKY cry over the
dreamy meadows, which was echoed
back from afar, and re.echoed from the
gray rocks that lifted their heads above
us.
Then the young man uttered cry as
of one in suffering, and the cry came
back, only little sadder in tone.
He then uttered some harsh words
sharply, and the harsh words were re-
peated in fierce impulses of sound.
"Sing, MarshamW said one OF the COM
pany.
Marsham's clear voice sent forth tune
full cadence, full of emphasis and express
sion, and echo took up the strains, min
Cling them in such harmony that it SEEM
ed like one glad heart singing to another.
"What a singular phenomenon" re-
marked one of the party.
'Let it be our instructor"
''Will you point the morale" we asked.
eyes"
sFirst, as the echo speaks to us, so the
world will speak. If we speak to it cheer.
fully, it will reply in as cheerful tone; il
we address it angrily, it will reply in an
ger; if there is hope, and confidence, and
good will in our voices, it will reply hope
fully in good will and confidence.
"Second, the echoes Of 0Lr ices are eUer
COMING back upon u.s. Is it not, then, OF
vital moment in what voices our lives
speak? The echoes that come to us from
the outside world are of small account to
those that come from our inner life, to
which we must listen when alone by our
selves These voices do not die; memory
is continually sending them forth, awak-
ening echoes that fill our minds with glad
ness or regret. These echoes are not such
unsubstantial things as come back from
the hills yonder. No, no, my young
friend
"Third, if we live in cheerful obedi.
ence to the will of Providence we shall
speak to the world cheerfully, and it will
answer us back in a cheerful tone; we
shall seek the good OF our neighbor, and
our neighbor's voice will be pleasant to
our ears.
"And, lastly, let us so live that the
echoes of our lives will be sweet. =

The Latest Changes in Gentlemen's
Fashions.

LONDON has always filled for men the
position that Paris does for ladies, and
fashions for the sterner sex inaugurated
there have always found their way out
to this Western world in the end. The
New York Nal has advices of change
in the costume of the London fashiOna-
bles which is quite interesting as an indi-
cation of what is coming The CORE
spondent says: "The style Of dress most
worn here by gentlemen of fashion, and
especially noticeable at all fashionable
places Of morning resort, is light-col-
ored frock coat, usually drab or gray
twilled cashmere or fine angola, rather
long in the waist and skirt, silk breast
facing, and bound with silk. ribbon to
match, or a velvet collar, plain facings
and double stitched edges, and to wear
buttoned with three buttons. Waistcoat,
white or striped Marseilles, and trow-
sers of dark blue diagonal or ribbed
"worsted" cloth, with broad, black mo-
hair braid laid on fiat on the seams. This
is decidedly reversing the order of the
dress, dark coat and light trowsers, to
which the habits Of the last few years
have accustomed us, but is nevertheless a
very stylish and effective costume, espe-
cially adapted and certain to be much
worn during the early autumn. A large
Stanley" or tied sailors knot is usually
worn, the made sailors knot appearing to
have got out of fashion. Patent leather
Oxford shoes, with brown striped hose
and buttoned boots of the same leather,
with cloth uppers, are much affected.
Morning coats are made to wear two or
even three buttons, buttoned and cut
away sharp from the lowest one, but the
style is very difficult to adapt with good
effect to many figures. The latest styles
of dress coats are noticeable for an entire
absence of all angles, the collar forming a
complete roll, usually faced with silk, the
lower front edge of the forepart, which is
usually made without what is technically
called 'back strap, and the top and bot
tom of the skirt being slightly and grace
fully rounded off, which gives the coat
tighter and more elegant appearance than
the old styles, and is a step toward that
more appropriate and consistent style of
evening dress for gentlemen SO much to
be desired"

THE PILGRIMS REVERY.

The waning moon shines pale and still;
The winds in russet branches die;
Day faints upon the darkening hill,
And melts into the days gone by.
The vanished daysl now dim and far,
Yet none SO dead they cannot wake
And stir in me, as yon high star
Quivers, deep-visioned, in the lake.
They glimmer down the moons long beam
They rustic in the russell tree;
They fade in tWilight's melting dream,
And slide in starlight down to me.
/ feel the hush of brooding wings,
The warmth of tender joys far flown,
And little flights and f1utterings
OF blessings that were once my own.
But o most sweet, and 0 most sad,
OF all these lost delights that thrill /
The blessings that l almost had,
But life can never more fulfill
And yet It's strange, but these are more
My own, tonight, than all beside
Glad stars upon distant shore,
That draw my sails across the tide.
Fade, golden evenings, fade and sink!
Burn, crimson leaves, burn out and fall
For life is greater than we think
And death the surest life of all.
