FASHIONS AT THE AMERICAN
COURT.

Mrs. and Miss Grant are not among the
most fashionably or extensively dressed la.
dies seen in society. 1t might be supposed
that they would be leaders Of fashion, but
they have no such aspirations, aud Mrs
Grant is rather of an economical turn of
mind, and would prefer to have her dresses
made at home to having them made by an
expensive French dressmaker. She and Miss
Nellie have not a great variety of toilets,
They have u few very pretty dresses, but
nothing to compare with those of the ladies
have named. One Paris dress Mrs. Grant
has this winter, which speaks for itself as a
Paris dress, the wise ones say; the others |
have seen her wear appear to be Of Ameri-
eau manufacture and possibly of Washing
ton. The French dress is a white faille,
trimmed with round point lace. Miss Grants
toilets are very simple, Her visiting suit is
of pum.colored silk with Aounces, faced and
headed with ciel blue. Her bonnet matches
in colors and material Dresses composed OF
violently contrasting colors are very fashion
able indeed, even blue and buff, once esteem
ed such an outrage on good taste, are fire.

AMERICAN INTEMPERANCE.

Temperance is virtue not confined to any
one sense-not limited to any one article
1t restricts excess wherever it exists. Its
motto is, Never too much ofanything." A
man may be most scrupulous member OF
the cold.water army and yet be an intemper-
ate man, For there may be intemperats use
of cold water as well as Of whisky. Half a
gallon of the former on a sultry day will make
work for the doctor as soon as half gallon
of the latter. A man may be frenzied with
anger as easily as with run. The young lady

much as the young fellow who goes of on a

o thon, dear Lerd, who stayest
When all the guests are gone,
When In It's silent chamh,rs
The soul sits down alone.
Our garlands all are withered,
Our sweetest songs are sung,
The lamps which lit our feastlng,
Have gone out, one by one.
The gladness and the beauty
Have vanished from our sight.
The footsteps Of our dear ones
Have died away In night.
Yet thanks TO Thee that ever
Thou contest at our will,
Thy voice is heard the clearer
When all the house Is STILL
As on the Mount Of Vision,
Amid the shining three,
The oVerawed disciples
Looked up-and saw but Thee,
SO we, our brightness faded,
Our sweet companions flown,
Lift up our troubled faces
TO iind Thou art not gone.
Thanks 10 Thy name that ever
In grief Thou dost appear,
That by each deep ming shadow,
We know Thy sunshine near.
Be Ruler OF our feasting,
Thou Love of love alone
y thou. dear Lord, who stayest
When all the guests are gone
