CORSETs AND CHRISTIANITY.-Ala lady
who had charge of a young ladies'
Bible class, speaking of defective home
training, said that her best pupil, IS
years Of age, had caused her the most
acute anxiety. Rain or shine she was
always at her post. The girls whole
soul seemed absorbed in the straighten-
ing out of intricate theological prob
lens; "and yet" said the teacher, "the
girl was so pale and wan that | was
afraid every Sabbath would be her last
i'm class. One day she tainted, and in
irving to restore her 1 loosened her dress,
and what do you think found? Cor
sets so tightly drawn that full respira-
ton was impossible. | removed them
and found that the girls ribs actually

very prominent and useful church MEM
ber, and stated the case without reserve.
"Well, you see,n said the parent, "Fan-
ny never had any figure. i shouldn't
be surprised if the lacings were drawn
little too tight. Her waist is naturally
so large that il is almost impossible 10
make anything fit genteelly on her.
How is your class prOspering, Miss?

MANAGING \ HUSBAND. "A Penusyl-
vania lady has a very romantic and in
genious way of managing the gentle
man so happy as to be her husband.
EXasperated by her persistent conversa-
tion, he ungallantly boxed her ears the
other day The wretched woman cast
but one lingering, reproachful glance
upon her lord, and fled, simply observ-
ing, as she departed, that the briny deep
should wash away the insult. Leaving
behind her everything most dear to her
the home of her married life, full of
beautiful aud cherished memories-this
broken-hearted woman rushed franti-
cally to the canal, and with one parting
sigh, threw in a large stone with a
mighty splash. Then she went and hid
herself in the bushes and giggled, while
her husband and twenty other men hur-
ried up with horror depicted on their
cOuntenances, and wildly dragged the
canal for her body. When the injured
one became convinced that the wretch
had suffered enough, she appeared from
behind the bushes and led him home, "a
resigned and willing victim.

could detain her she had hurried on to
my side, and touched my arm.
F" Are you Mrs. Ogden, the author
ess - she asked.
" Il am Mrs. Ogden, and [ write some
times l replied; what do you wish?'
You'll excuse my speaking to you, but
1 did so want to tell you how much
good your last article in the Star did
me and all my neighbors. o, you do
not know how eagerly We search the pa
pers for something from your pen. And
when We have found it, how we devour
every word, finding nothing that does
not encourage and elevate. Your name
is fast becoming a household word
among u.s.
"Can you amagine my feelings as 1
took the good woman's hand and
thanked her for her kind words Of
praise? And when her way diverged
from mine, she pressed my hand and
said, God bless you, Mrs. Ogden, and
may He grant you many days to bright
en- our lives with sweet and tender
words from your pen.' Do you wonder
that my eyes moistened with tears, or
that my heart was too full for utterance;
or that could but silently return her
hand pressure at parting ?"
81 know this much," said Lima, her
own eyes full of tears, "that youare the
truest woman / ever knew. You must
be very happy, and you richly deserve
to be-"
"Come in often, Lima" was Mrs.
Ogden's parting salutation half an hour
later. "You are always welcome"
'T'here is no place / would prefer to
CO." said Lima, as she went down the
steps.
And now, readers, we will also take
our leave, with the knowledge that hard
as were some of Mrs. Ogden's endeavors
to reach the eminence on which she now
stands, the pleasant thoughts that now
fill her mind are well worth the strug-
gle.
Aie lneAc hOb many NOhSh hhoSe
minds are often crowed with such
thoughts as Mr.. Ogden had on the morn
on which we first made her acqualnt-
anee? And would it not be we'll worth
while for such TO make a trial aud see
what they can do?
They may not all succeed as we'll as
she, but they will at least be happier
for having made the effort.

LEMONS FOR FEVER. - SAYS that
walking cyclOpedia of health knowl-
edge, DIR. Hall: When persons are fever
ish and thirsty beyond what is natural,
indicated in some cases by metallic
taste in the mouth, especially after
drinking water, or by whitish appear
anees on the greater part of the surface
of the tongue, one of the best Coolers"
internal or external, is to take lemon,
cut off the top, sprinkle over it some
loaf sugar, working it down into the
lemon with 2 spoon, and then suck it
slowly, squeezing the lemon, and adding
more sugar as the acidity increases from
being brought up from a lower point.
InYalids with feverishness may take
two or three lemons a day in this man
ner with the most marked benefit, man
ifested by a sense Of GOODNESS, comfort
and invigoration. A lemon or two thus
taken at tea-time, as an entire substi-
tute for the ordinary supper of summer,
would give many comfortable nights
sleep, and an awakening after rest and
invigoration, with an appetite for break
fast to which they are strangers who
will have their cup of tea for supper, or
"relish" and 'cake," and their berries
or peaches and cream.

Fashion Notes.

No change in gentleman's fashions is
10 be noted.
White sealskin is n new fur which will
be much worn.
Monograms on note paper have gone
completely out of fashion.
Everything is loaded with trimming
from the slipper TO the bonnet.
The most fashionable jewelry at pres
ent is oXydized silver 'picked out" with
beaten gold.
The Elizabethian ruffs are assuming
proportions more ponderous and awe-in-
spring than ever.
The skirts of riding habits should only
be fourteen inches longer than the ordi-
nary dress-skirt.
Pumps and black silk stockings, with
scarlet cloaks, are the proper things for
gentleman's full dress.
The blue colors with white spots, so
much worn during the summer, still
continue in favor in heavier materials.
Bodices high at the back and square
in front are en- regdle. With these are
worn the Medici or Francis ruffies,
which are quite the rage now.
Buttons are worn immensely large,
of Furnished or blue steel cut into an
imitation of diamonds. Undersleeve
studs of carved wood are also much in
fashion.
Bows for the hair and neck are worn
more than ever. Black gros-grain rib
bon, embroidered with wreathes Of rose
buds and daises, is much used for this
purpose.
Watered ribbon sashes are very popu-
lar. Side sashes have a succession Oi
long loops, and two uneven ends hang
ing from the belt on the left side, quite
far back.

\ California court has decided that it
is the duty of Il stewardess on board a
vessel to wash the captains shirts. A
ship landed at San Francisco from New
York, and the stewaTdess of the vessel
placed bill of SIS for washing the cap
tain's shirts in the hands of a court for
collection, the captain Obieeting to the
payment of the same, stating that he
had been a sea-captain for sixteen years
and had never paid n cent for having
his linen washed. On his last trip he
had ordered the stewardess to the wash
tub and she refused to comply, stating
that il was no part of her business to
wash the captains shirts. The captain
mildly hinted to her the consequences
of mutiny, and the stewar1ess of the
vessel involuntarily became a laundress
TO the captain. She kept him we'll sup
piled with clean shirts and collars for
the rest af the trip, and made out her
bill at the rate of 81 30 per dozen. The
captain got some tall swearing done
about miTatime usage and custom, and
the court sent the woman away with
her bill.

WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER. Nothing
presents a sadder commentary upon the
present condition of society than the
large number of families both in the
town and in the country, but more es-
pecially in the latter, that subscribe to
no paper of any kind. How many fam
lilies are thus growing up utterly igno-
noIant of what is transpiring in the
world around them-ignorant of the
mighty events of the day. But who can
tell the vast amount of injury that is be-
ing inflicted upon the rising generation
those who are to take our place at no
distant day-growing up without any
knowledge of the present or study Of
the past; this ignorance, too, being i'm
bued into them by those vino should,
and doubtless do, know better did they
only think of the effects of their insane
course. Let the head Of the family
think Of this, and place in the hands of
those for whom he or she is responsible
the means of acquiring some knowledge
Of the moving panorama in which we
act our different part.-&. +, Pioneer.

a NIGHT OF TERRoR.-The sexton of
st. JOseph's Cathedral at Vienna, being
n man of extraordinary nerve and bold
ness, was accustomed to stand on the
pinnacle of the tower whenever the
Emperor made grand entrance into
the city, and wave a flag as the pageant
passed by. When, however, Leopold,
who had just been chosen Emperor of
Frankford, was about to enter the city,
the loyal sexton, still anxious to be true
to the old customs, but finding that
years had told against his nerve, de-
clared that any one who would take his
place successfully should win his daugh-
ter. Gabriel Petersheim, who WIS dis
liked by the sexton, but beloved of the
daughter, at once accepted the offer, to
the disgust of the sexton, who then ar
ranged with two villains to close the
trap-door Of the upper stairway while
Gabriel was above, thinking that, as
the Emperor was to enter toward even
ing, no one need be the wiser, and the
lad must certainly fall before morning.
The two accomplices did their foul work,
and their intended victim, finding his
way down again, was then confronted
with the alternative of clinging to the
slender spire, through cold, wintry
night, with his feet resting on a surface
hardly ten inches in circumference, or
Of precipitating himself to the pavement
at once and thus ending the matter.
Gabriel was a youth of firm will and
hardy constitution. He clung to the
cold column till morning. But the
story goes that his curling locks were
white as snow, and his wonted rosy
cheeks were yellow and wrinkled, and
his eyes, before so bright, were sunken
and dim. One night Of horror had
placed him forty years nearer his grave.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS CONCFRSrSG YOUNG
FRANK wALwoRrH AND HIS MOTHER
A New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton FOSt gives some interesting facts
concerning Frank Walworth and his
mother; Mrs. Walworth is now, and
mas been since the first awful news
reached her, absorbed in the one idea OF
enduring for her sons sake, and working
for him when there is work to do. She
Is perfectly and absolutely indifferent to
the surroundings; heat or cold, fatigue
or rest, sine does not appear to think Of
Aud IN his own case, life inside the pris-
on means, as il has outside for many
years, my mother He never admits
TO her or to any member of the family,
that he feels the confinement, the labor,
the coarse food, or any hardships of the
prison. He claims, as he has from the
first, that he committed no crime, be-
cause he acted i'm self-defence, therefore
he does not feel his punishment as deg
radiation. For, during six months at
time he slept outside his mothers door
unknown TO her, to prevent night at
tack from the family prosecutor. Here
is fact not generally known; There was
a broken chair found in the room where
the fatal alteration took place, and
there were other evidences which, if uses
had had been made of them, would have
established beyond doubt the plea of
and friend actually plead
ed with Frank Walworth to swear that
his father had broken the chair in at
tempting TO use il as a weapon of offence
against him. This Frank point blank
refused to do, declaring that not to save
himself from the gallows would he de-
part from the truth. Friends, as we'll
meaning, begged Mrs. WalwOrth to show
more feeling at the trial, urging that it
might produce a good effect. Il can do
nothing for effect she said; Il was new

Some kind souls are left in Detroit.
a boy ten years of age, leading lively
little dog, called at the Central Station,
and asked if that was the place where
they shot dogs. Being answered in the
affirmative, he said, "Well, please shoot
my poor little Dan. He's an awful
good dog, and he plays with the baby
all day; but fathers dead, and mothers
sick, and can't raise money to get 4
license Then turning to the dog, the
bow stroked him saying, "Poor dog.

the boys face, and in a little time those
around him made upa purse sufficient
to save his dog, and person went with

THE LIVING SoUL--As the soul is
the man, and the material body only
his house while upon the earth, man
is never really buriedl No human be-
ing since the beginning OF the world
has ever vet been buried, no, not even
for the space Of a few moments
buried? Man is where his conscious be-
ing is-his memory, his love, his imagi-
nation; and since that cannot be put
into the grave, the man is never put
there. So far from being our last home,
tbe crave is not our home at all, for we
are never laid in it, nor go near 1t.
Happy the day when all shall learn
that corpses are the departed garments
of living men and women-Tem-
pies of God, in which divine service
Is over and finished, the chanting
hushed. the aisles deserted, and to be
contemplated with as little terror as the
dilapidated walls of some ancient, time
worn cathedral.-Re-r.
