The Instinct and Motive of Dress.
1t is utterly useless to try to make
anything of human llk believe that
dress is not of primary Importance,
that beauty unadorned has the slightest
chance, because it is not true in fact,
however excellent in theory. Let a
pretty woman neglect the amenities of
dress, leave all the accessories of hair,
lace, or ribbon adornment uncared for,
and go about limp, loose, and dowdysh,
with only her natural charms to coun-
terbaIance, and see how little chance
she stands for admiration. A syste-
matically cut, gracefully hanging dress
a bright knot, artistically disposed; a
soft, delicate bit of lace, makes all the
difference in the world in the effect of a
woman produces upon the senses. 1t is
a remarkable fact that, while men make
women's folly in dress the target at
which to let fly their sharpest witticisms,
it is for man alone that she indulges in
these extravagances. Since the far
away times of the Aspasis, and before, IN
deed, of the Livis, Du Barrys, Pompa-
dours, ct. aLs., down to the representa-
tives of Mother Eve, to-day, women are
what the Pericles, Alcibiales, kings,
emperors, and poets of their periods
make them. Men and women may exist
for each other but it is in an inverse
ratio, women living great deal more
Cor men than the converse. To look
ones best for some lordly eyei thenatu-
raj instinct of every loving heart. To
have fair, healthy appearing complex
ion; a round, full, yet plant figure !;
soft, white, shapely hands +; glossy, well
cared for and fashionably arranged hair;
are all of them as much necessities to a
true woman as the breath she draws,
the food she eats, for indeed to he out
! of the fashion is to be out Of the world.

A HINT FOR Town AND STREET Ma
KERs.-It is worthy of remark that the
arranging of the streets according to the
cardinal points involves a sanitary OBJ
| lection of no mean import. No fact is
better established than the necessity of
sunlight to the highest degree of animal
health, and no constitution can long en-
dure without i'll effect, the habitual dai-
Iy privation of its health-giving power.
City houses, at best, can rarely be SO
well provided for in this respect as those
which stand alone, as is generally the
case in the country. and it is all the
more important that every facility
should be afforded to secure as much as
possible of it's general influence. But
every house on the south side of a street
! running east and west must have its
front rooms, which are generally its
living rooms, entirely secluded from the
sun during the winter, and for most o.
the day during the summer. This fact
coupled with that of the indoor life Ot
American, and particularly western wo
men, is enough to account for a very
large share of the nervous debility
which so generally prevails. If the rec
tangular system must be adhered to IL
city arrangement, it would be far bettel
that the lines Of streets should be north
west and southeast, and the cross streets
at right angles with them, than as nov
disposed.
L. PERHPAs it is scarcely correct to say
that rafting on. the lakes is an innova
ton, as it has been done before. On
Lake Erie, Mr.. Bowen says that 40, 900,
600 feet were RATED last season from
the Huron country to Tonawanda, Buf
'faIo and other ports, and not log wa
lost. In 1862 Mr.. Redmond Prindivill,
RATED 1000, 600 feet of dressed lumbe
from Saginaw TO this city, a distance o
500 miles, in eight days. The tug
John Prindiville and the Mclean die
the towing. Mr.. Prindiville, whose ex
perience on the lake makes his opinion
valuable in this connection, thinks tina
so long as the weather remains fine anC
the water smooth rafting is feasible anC
safe, but that rough weather nigh
break up loose lumber, though a raft o
heavy logs might survive. Chicag,
