Hotels are houses Of refugc-the mar

disc. Good landlords are like good step;
mothers-they know their business and
they do it. They knew your wife's fath-
er when he was living, and your wife
but they never mention her before your
second wife. Hotelsare connected insome
minds with hash. Hash is made of cast
off victuals, and has done more to nour-
ish the present generation than any other
kind of mixed food. A nice little ten
derloin steak, few baked potatoes, q
couple of pieces of pie, some doughnuts.
a few biscuits, arri-hnh does very wen
for breakfast.
Many hotels are kept on the European
plan, but the majority of them on none
at all. Everybody knows what q hotel
room is like-how boiling over with cons
forts it is, and how it makes people who
occupy it think about home. i; gcner-
ally measures about 13 feet inches by
0 feet 4. There are two pegs TO hang
clothes on-one broken of and the other
pulled out. The bell-rope is broken off
just six inches beyond reach. There are
no curtains, for what good could that
bef You couldn't see out. The bureau
has three legs, and the looking-ghss
hangs on one pivot. The bed is made
of Stats and very thin mattress. You
have to go to bed sideways, and when you
get in you 90 down on the Stats like a
piece of beefsteak on the bars Of gridi-
ron.

Love is like the measels-you can't

mistake; but when he puts down a

An ordinary low neck dress with short
sleeves looks worse in black than any
other color, because the hard line round
the bust and arms is too great contrast
to the skin.
A low neck always lessons the height,
and dark dress made thus lessons il
still more, and strikes the artistic eye n.
cutting the body in pieces.
A fair person dressed in a low dark
dress, standing against a light background
some way off, the effect will be that Of

On the other hand, against a dark hack

must wear low black dress, let it b,

shoulders, and have plenty of white ol

TRIMMINGS.
This is an age Of trimming and dis
play, and there is little use in preaching
against it; what one has another will
strive to get, and he or she is the truesi
benefactor who best adapts skill and in
dustry to the production OF that which
supplies the largest general want.
Messrs McAlister 4 Miller called our
attention to their pew Standard trim
mings of which they have great varie-
ty. Demorefs says: Quite boon has
been conferred upon American people by
theintroduction of these trimmings which
are at once cheap, durable, varied and
most effective. AS a finish for under
clothing, the styles are endless. All the
horrors of tucking putting, and rnfiiing
are done away with, and at cost which
hardly covers the labor alone as formerly
employed, while the result is almost in
fiinitely more perfect and elaborate.
Try the Standard trimmings.

No home! What q misfortune

thousands who know nothing Of the
blessed influence Of a comfortable
home, merely because Of u want of
thrift, or dissipatcd habits, Youth
spent in frivolous amusemcnts, and de.
moralizing associations. leaving them
at mitdlc age, when the physical and
intellectual man should be in its great.
est vigor, cncrvated and without one
laudable ambition. Friends long since
lost, confidence gone, and nothing to
look to in old age, but a mere tolcra-
ton in the community where they
should be ornaments. No home to
fly to when worried with the struggles
incident to lite; no wife to cheer them
in their dependency no v~lrtuous
household to give zest TO the joys Of
life. All is blank, and there is no
home or succor except that which is
given out by the hand Of private or
public charities, When the family of
the Industrious and sober citizen gath,
crs around the cheerful fire Of u win,

shelter in the cells of 4 station house,
or begging for a nights rest in the
outbuildings Of one who started in life

vantages honesty, industry, and econ
