These garments form m important feature
In the new costumes. They come in velvet
aud cashmere, richly embroidered with jet
and silk. They are very dressy, and quite
warm enough for fall wear. The form Of
the basque Is different from that worn last
season. It Is cut larger, with square corners,
and, like everything else, Ia doublc-breastcd,
with rockets on the front and back. They
have tho inevitable ruff and rcvors. They
are shown on white camcl's hair, trimmed
with lace, for opera costumes.

Church Membership.

The way to make church member
ship thing sought and priced, Is to
show that it is thing worth having.
1 would not join church that spent
its time in petty debates, and wasted
its energies in petty struggles. ]
would not, ifI were a child, be at
tracted to my fathers church II round
the table 1 heard nothing but sharp
criticisms of sermons, covert insinua.
tions against ministers, scandal about
fellow members, or If in his house
met bad temper or careless living on
the part of them who went next day
to communion. But let them adorn
their profession, and 1 am drawn to
it. Let them 30 live that / identify
with Christ and with his church all
that is holiest and happiest in my
little world. Let religion mean not q
melancholy mystery for old people
coming out in long family prayers
and scraps of DIR. Watts, and ominous
shaking Of the head over every youth
full peccadillo; but s secret of bright
faces and kind words and helpful acts;
q thing to take the bitterness out OF
SORROW, and roll away the cloud OF
sin, and knit young hearts to Christ
their Savior, and set them in the way
to heaven.
Many such homes we have, and
there, I think, you will see the old
charm still working, not without ex-
cePtion, for every child has q will Of
his own, but as a divine rule, q gra-
eious disposition Of the divine pur-
pose, there is a household Of faith
gathered round the family altar, round
the Lords table; the sons as plants
grown up in their youth, the daugh-
ters as corner stones polished after the
similtude Of a palace.

Persian Punishment.

The king usually does his share Of
duty as 3 Judge in q business-like
manner, holding two courts daily for
the redress of grievances, when any
one can have access to him, though,
perhaps, the European listener would
be somewhat surprised at hearing
such summary judgments as "Otf
with his head" and "Cut out his
tongue :" or, should any one Of the
parties be considered too argumenta-
tive, at the order ''Give him the shoe, u
which means the instant application
of 8 heavy blow on the mouth from
an iron-heeled slipper, which, says, .
sis pretty effective, and frequently
ends the assize but Turn up his
heels is deemed still sOunder argu-
ment;;n as we need hardly doubt it
would be.
It could not interest the general
reader were we to dilate upon the par
tieular laws and penalties enacted for
each species of misdemeanOr, though
we may mention that, as there is no
system Of convict-labor, the govern
ment cannot afford to keep men in
confinement, and so capital and cor
poreal punishments, with fines, are
all that offenders have to dread.
Murder and high-hsnded robbery are
generally punished by death ; but, as
the former is commutable to the heir
of the deceased, who has the privilege
Of doing as he chooses with the MUIR
derer. premium is offered on this
species of crime, inpatient heirs not
unfrequently getting their relation
put out of the way, and then, by this
law, shielding their tool from any but
nominal punishment. Either high
way robbery or simple theft is to be
compromised by 3 fine, though, by
the law of the Koran, thief is sub
jected to amputation of an arm, hand,
ear, or nose and as the trunk of o

ment In Persia, some Of them are too
horrible to mention-strang1lation or
suffOcatiOn being among the least Of

relations, one life, when offered, is
accepted in lieu of the one forfeited.

once goes to the man, Is admitted as
coming from the king, and drawing
the warrant with one hand and his
seimitar with the other, he then and
there kills him without usually any
attempt at resistance being made.
