ROADS TO RUIN. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to find one Of these
roads, for they run in all directions over
the social planet. They present, as the
advertisements have it a "wide field of
choice" They comprise highways and
byways, round about roads, and cuts
across, smooth paths and rough paths, as
cents and decents; and as they lntersect
each other at points innumerable, travel
lers to the common terminus can turn out
of the road they have started on into a
new one at their pleasure. The outfit for
the journey, be it long or short, is not OF
much consequence, since destitution and
despair await all who persist in pursuing
it. Some set out with pockets full of
gold; Others with their pockets empty,
hoping to fill them by the way. To some,
the fend, speculation, plays the cicerone,
marshalhng them to seeming Doradoes III
the distance, that melt in the moonshine
as they travel on. The will-o'-thewisp,
with his paste-board signals, begulles
others to Drinks of the precipice, whence
they tumble headlong into irremediable
shame. The goblin, gin, heads caravan
of self-destructionists whose name is
legion. All "easIly besetting sins pull
one way, and betray their victims into one
or the other of the many roads to ruin.
The only trustworthy safeguard against
their enticements is resistance at the out
set. When morbid appetite or inclination
pulls ruinward, brace the moral system
against it manhood against temptation
ask help from Heaven. Christian firm
ness is more than match for Satin and al
his agents. Misfortune may Overtak(
any man; but misfortune is not ruin. II
that terrible word, in its true interpreta
ton, is involved loss of character, of self
respect, or moral courage, of all that
renders life value. Beware of the first
step leading to such consummation!

The PoIsoNMoNGERs who advertise
compounds of Fluid Fire and pungent
alkalies as "balsamic medicines" "safe
and harmless tonics, and "genial invig-
orants," are worthy Of being classed with
the old Barnegat wreckers who kindled
deceptive beacons, in order to decoy
mariners to inevitable death. But time
came when the lures Of the coast bandits
failed, and a time has come when the
venders of Bittered Alcohol fail to i'm
press the reading public with belief in
their fctions. 1t is due to that consci-
entious and able physician, DR.. Joseph
Walker, of California, to say that he
has largely contributed to this desirable
end, by providing the world with Tonic
Corrective and Anti-Febrile Vegetable
preparation, which accomplishes all that
is mendaciously promised on behalf of
the alcoholic nostrums. HIS CALI
FoRNIA VINEGAR BrrTERs prepared from
botanic productions, now for the first
time employed in the pharmacy OF civili-
zation, is the leading tonic in every
State and Territory of the Union. The
fact that this wonderful elixir contains
no alcohol, no mineral. no dangerous
element, is one of the causes of its i'm
mense popularity; another is that as a
stomachlc invigorant, blood purifier,
Alternative, anti-spasmodic and anti-bll-
ious medicine, it is as far ahead OF every
other preparation as Temperance is
ahead of drunkenness. Com.

LIfE's BRIGHTEsr HoUR.-Not long
since met gentleman who is assessed
for more than million. Silvered was
his hair, care was upon his brow, and he
stopped beneath the burden of his wealth.
We were speaking of that period of life
when we had realized the most perfect
enjoyment, or, rather, when we had
found that happiness nearest to being un-
alloyed. "1'll tell you," said the million
aire, "when was the happiest honr of my
life. At the age of one-and twenty had
saved eight hundred dollars. Twas earn
ing five hundred dollars year, and my
father did not take it from me, only re-
quiring that I should pay for my board.
At the age of twenty-one | had secured
pretty cottage, just outside of the city.
I was able to pay two-t thirds of the value
down, and also to furnish it respectfully.
I was married on Sunday-a Sunday in
June-at my fathers house. Ny wife
had come to me poor in purse, but rich in
the wealth of her womanhood. The Sab
bath and the Sabbath night we passed be-
meath my fathers roof, and on Monday
morning / went to work, leaving my
mother and sister to help in preparing my
home. On Monday evening, when the
labors of the day were done, [ went not
to the paternal shelter as in the past; but
to my own house-my own home. The
holy atmosphere of that hour seems to
surround me even now in memory. |
opened the door of my cottage, and en-
tered. l laid my hat upon the little stand
in the hall, and passed on to the kitchen
our kitchen and dining room were both
one then. l pushed open the kitchen
door, and was-in heaven! The table
was set against the wall. The evening
meal was ready, prepared by the hands of
her who had come to be my helpmate in
deed as well as in name, and by the table
with throbbing expectant look upon her
face, stood my wife. tried to speak but
could not I could only clasp the wait
ing angel to my bosom, thus showing her
the ecstatic burden of my heart. The
years have passed, long, long years, and
worldly wealth has flowed in upon me,
and I am honored and envied, but, as true
as heaven, would give it all, every dol
lar, for the JOY Of that hour of that June
evening, in the long, long ago."

MACKEREL IN CAPTIVITY. the
latest addition to the Brighton Aquarium
is a family of eight young mackerel.
This beautiful fish has hitherto rarely or
ever been seen in captivity. The little
strangers, though put into tank with
other fish, do not mix with them, but at
present keep to themselves. They dart
about in all directions. Sometimes they
are chased by ether species, and get
partly dispersed but they soon rejoin
each other, and resume their compact
form. They are prepetually in motion,
so that, although the tank where they
are is large one, they are never out of
sight for more than a few seconds at a
time. The difficulty of keeping the
msckerel alive is great. As soon as they
find themselves in captivity they become,
as it were, frantic; and the rapidity of
their movements in the comparatively
small vessel used for their transport de-
stroy them, by bringing them in con-
tact with the ends or sides.

A RELIC. An interesting relic OF the
first gold excitement in California has
Just been brought to light by the removal
of the old Mantle Hotel in San Francis
co, and is none other than the hull of
the ship Mantle, one Of the first vessels
that arrived in that port after tie dis
covery of gold. Upon her arrival at San
Francisco all hands deserted, going to
the "diggings." AS no money could
procure handful of men to work her
home, the Mantle was sold for ware
house. Houses were erected on the deck,
and lodgings let at rates that go far be-
yond the tariff of our frst-class hotels
to-day, and many weary miner, sad
and disappointed from the months of .un-
successful labor, has lain down to rest in
the shelter of the timbers of this old
ship.

How THE Sun CAUGHT THIEF
Five or six days ago, says Paris paper,
NJ. x, a photographer, allured by
the brightness of the sun and the soft
ness of the air, provided himself with
necessary baggage and fastened to Foun'
tainbleau to take views of the forest. He
installed himself in very picturesque
quarter, erected his apparatus, prepared
his plates, opened his object glass, and
inveloping at once his case and his head
in large, dark and fuctuant veil, set
himself to the task of seizing the objects
in view. He had just taken out his proof
from the dark chamber, and was subject
ing it to chemical reaction, when strong
hand was laid upon his shoulder. He
turned round hastily and found himself
in the presence of a species of giant,
meanly attired, who, by gesture and
voice, demanded his purse. NJ. X-is
not Hercules, and from his first glance
towards his adversary, he concluded that
all resistance was useless. He therefore
politely offered his purse, which was ac
cepted with thankfulness. The robbel
bowed, and leaving him to his resignation
went into the depths of the forest. Poor
x, meditating on his sad loss. re-
mained for some time motionless hi:
looks were mechanically set on his pho

denly, "What is this ?" exclaimed he

easy to be recognized. o divine sun

On his return he repaired to the police
commissioners at Fountainbleau, related
his adventure, exhibited his proot-plate
and the malefactors likeness. Next day
with the aid of this singular description
the robber was arrested.

always at hand, and are so simple
that it does not seem that there can be
the least danger in its use in any case.
Take equal quantities good vinegar and
boiling water, and little more common
salt than they will dissolve. Pour the
vinegar on the salt in a teacup, and the
boiling water on both. Stir thoroughly,
so that as much salt as may will dissolve.
Let it settle, and then take, according to
the violence of the attack, two or four
teaspoonfuls; in twenty or thirty minutes

Early Autumn Costumes.

An imported dinner costume of Tyrian
purple fails is trimmed with the demi-
trained skirt with alternate folds of vel
vet, and the faille, edged with narrow
Chintilly lace. The overdress is of
chamois buff crepeline, bordered with
folds of the same, and in shape consists
of mere apron front, with long fchu
ends at the back, forming both panier
and sash, above the trimming of folds
which reaches, at the back, nearly to the
waist. This style of dividing the skirt
trimming, having it covered entirely
with the back breadths, and only reach
ing half way up the front, is a marked
feature of recently imported costumes.
Different trimming, also, are placed upon
the back and front, though many dresses
made to order here. from Partisan
models, have the same trimming, differ
emily disposed.
A Ahandsome costume of mouse colored
faaIe is trimmed entirely to the waist
with narrow rufles of mouse-colored
nousSeline lie sole.
The waist is made of plated basques
at the back, while the front is shallow
corslet shape, finished with frills OF the
nousseline. A cashmere wrap for the
street and carriage is of the same shade,
beautifully embroidered with silk to cor
respond. Its form is circular or talma
shape.
A dinner costume of bears ear brown
is made with demi- trained skirt, cover
at the back with kilt plating, reaching
to the waist. These plaits are merely
folded in the material, and faced on the
under side, at intervals, with broad
tapes, which hold them in place.
The front breadths are trimmed quite
to the waist with narrow bias ruff1es, set
on in long, shallow waves. The basque
is short and closely gored, so as to flare
over the hips, and is made over a vest
of maize-colored faiNs, which shade also
faces the sleeves and basques of the pos
tillion.
A visiting costume of oertd-e-gris faiHe
is embroidered, by hand, with silk of a
darker shade, it's fower-petals having
bright, orange-colored hearts. and one
of Carmelite plum color has trimmings
of palest India blue, scarcely to be dis
tinguished except as brought out by gas
light, while third, of Reseda green, is
made beautiful with garnatures of lace,
and the softest rose tinted faille.
Among Autumn costumes are polon-
asies of various light wool fabrics, for
this long-favored garment is not to be
abolished this season, whatever may
have been predicted for it while, as yet,
all was with out form, and void. Perhaps
for house service, the pretty basque,
postilions, and combination vest-basques
will be most popular; bnt for street
wear, before the weather demands heavy
wraps, the polonaise will not be frowned
upon.
The shops now afford cashmeres of
single width, which equal in textures
and colorings the double-fold expensive
cashmeres of last season. Folds of the
same, and yak and gimpure laces trim
these fabrics gracefully and durably,
while to those preferring fringes and
passementeries, there are many varieties
from which to choose, any and all being
suitable, unless they outweigh the ma
terial.
