LONDON AND PARIS STYLEs.-Loose
heavy garments, such as nantes, dol
mans, &C., seem gradually TO be going
out of favor, and tight fitting easaques,
or double breasted close fitting yestons
are gradually taking their place. Our
fair readers may have been prepared
for this change by the style which pre-
vailed during the late season, of al
most entirely dispensing with mantle or
jacket in outdoor costumes.
The polonaise or tunique and the
corsage gilet have almost universally
prevailed, and it is evident that the
taste for this style will continue for
some time. 1t has produced many
beautiful combinations during the past
season.
One cause of the renewed success OF
corsage, or casaque gilet, is the addi-
ton of revers and collar at neck, the
turning back of the skirt a revers, and
the adoption of the mOusquetaire cuffs
to sleeves. These form a most pleas
ing arrangement, and have a very novel
and elegant effect.
In speaking of costumes we must not
omit to name that they are now all COM
posed Of two cOlors, that is to say, two
different tones of the same color or of
contracted colors. 1t is necessary,
however, that much care and good
taste should be used in the choice of
the eolors, especially in eolOrs that con-
trast.
Dress skirts are rather long. Ii is
enly in costumes absolutely intended
for walking that skirts are made short,
or as called in Paris, rasterre.
In sleeves there is not much change;
mousquetaire cuffs and others OF this
class are most prevailing styles.-Loa-
don World Of Fashion for October.

A Word with Young Men.

Young man did you ever ask your
self why there are so many people in
the world unimployed, and why so
many fill the drunkard's grave? There
is employment for the entire world,
yes, honorable employment, yet we
often see young men of abilities phys
ieal aud mental, lOafng around, lulling
away the springtime of their life in ut
ter wOrthlessness. Young man con-
slider, remember, however true it may
be that our country is controlled by
your superiors, and the positions of
honor and usefulness are at present be-
yOnd your grasp; the grandest of our
future rests upon you. Remember the
world was not made in day. Neither
can you make your fortune, nor gain
a reputation in day Bide your time
and persevere. Perseverance and en-
ergy will be sure to lead to success.
If in your power, by all means choose
profession and pursue it. Honor
your profession, and it will honor you.
Work is no dishopor and laziness Is no
credit to any one. 1t is good to have
wages but half pay is better than
nothing, and working for nothing is
better than idleness and vice. Remem-
Der there is a greater demand for young
men now than ever before. For young
men, who are not for sale-for with
these the market is supplied-true
honest young men, sound from center
to circumference and whose conseien-
ces are as steady as the needle to the
pole Men who know their positions
and fill them. Young men, who are
not too lazy to work, not too proud to
be poor; and are willing to eat what
they have earned and paid for Talent
is a good thing and if you have it inn
prove it; but if you have not got it,
then make the best use of tact. Edu-
cate yourselves, or you will go down to
the tomb of oblivion-perhaps to ruin.
While, if you educate yourselves, you
will be an honor to yourselves and to
your country. Education is worth
more than gold, it is constant friend
through life, and at death a consola-
ton. Be Independent so far as you
are able. Live forsomething and think
for yOurself-it is too expensive to
hire others to do your thinking and
let your machine decay in rust At
tend to your own business, and be sure
to let other peoples alone. Have but
few confdents-the fewer the better
and always be true to your friends.
Fear not your enemies and remember
your character cannot be materially
injured, except by your own acts.
Young men, cut this out; paste it In
your album for future reference. Do
good and leave behind you a moDu-
ment of virtue that the storms of time
cannot destroy. Strive to have your
name to shine as brilliant star in the
classical skies. Write your name by
Kindness and love on the hearts Of the
thousands with whom you associate,
and you may rest assured that you will
never be forgotten.

The Habit Of Attention.

Don't let your mind get into the ruts,
boys. you have ever travelled over
country roads in the spring you know
how hard it is to get the wheels out of
the deep tracks, when once you have
turned into them. just so it is with
your minds. You need to give them a
freer range. Have always on hand
some really valuable book quite out
side your ordinary pursuits, and read a
little in it every day. Read ten pages.
attentively, rather than twenty care
lessly. Learn to pick up knowledge
everywhere. A good newspaper will
give you many valuable thoughts,
which you may as well save as not if
you will but turn them over a time or
two in your mind. 1t is reflection that
makes an idea our own.
You are accustomed to think of
Charles Dickens as wonderful genius.
Yet he says of himself" My own in
vention, or Imagination would never
have served me as it has, but for the
habit of common place, humble, pa
tient, daily. toiling, druging attention"
If Dickens career would not have
been a success without this habit, you
may be quite sure yours will not. The
principle applies to every other pursuit
as well as to authorship.
Which will you decide to do, go about
with your eyes open, or with them
shut? The wide-awake boy is known
and appreciated, and SO is the boy Of
small attainments and few ideas, but
the difference is far more marked when
they become men.
Who does not know plenty of dull,
dozy looking men, who will come in
and sit by your fire half an even
ing and never advance three ideas?
They have none outside of a very linn
tied range of daily drugery. They are
like snails in their shells, and all be-
cause they have gone through life with
their brows bent down to the ground
nothing above or beyond this little fur
row. Heads up, boys, and eyes open.
Learn something worth knowing every
day Of your life, and think it over at
night, that you may imprint 1t deeply
on your memory.

He Lost the Oppor tunity.

A useful hint to many young men
may be derived from this little story
which the Springfield, Mass, Union
prints: Not long ago young man
Of this city had most favorable op-
portunlty to enter a business house in
this State, at large increase over his
present salary, with prospect of soon
getting a place in the firm. His re-
concentrations were frst-class, the
officers of the institution were decided
ly pleased with his appearance.-They
however, made him no proposals, nor
did they state their favorable impress
ion. 4 gentleman of this city was re-
quested to ascertain where the young
man spent his evenings, and what class
of young men were his associates. 1t
was found that he spent several nights
of the week in billard-room on Main
street, and Sunday afternoon drove
hired span into the country with three
other young men," lie is wondering
why he didn't hear from the huose con-
cerning that coveted position.

WHAT Is A PANIC ?'-Herodotus
tells US wi. 1861 that when Darius
threatened Attica, the Athenians sent
to Spartaa herald named Pheidippides
to implore help against the Persians.
The god Pan met Pheidippides near
Tegea. called him by his name, and
babe him demand of the Athenians
why they paid no worship to him, a
god who had often helped them, and
was about to do so again. After the
great Athenian victory at Marathon
the Athenians, ascribiDg it to Pan,
consecrated to him the cave below the
Acropolis, and afterward worshipped
him there.
The defeat of the Persians at Mara
thon was accompanied with a sudden
terror, which seized upon large masses
of men without visible cause, and
hence all such mysterious frights came
to be ascribed to the god who there
helped the Athenians. The term
panic (panicon) is used in this sense
by many of the latter Greek writers,
especially by Polybius it is repeated
" used in its Greek form by Cicero,
but is adopted as a Latin word by later
writer's, and has passed from them IN
the same sense into all the languages
of modern Europe.

THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR.
Letter from Superintendent Fleming.

11etleF from superintendent fieMinss
The following letter from the State
Superintendent to one of the County
Superintendents settles definitely and
satisfactorily two or three questions of
Importance to Superinterdents and
District Directors a...
james w Goodwin, County Superin-
tendent Lincoln county: Dear Sir
Your inquiry involves the question,
What is the scholastic year in Tennes-
see? The school law nowhere express
ly declares the beginning and the end
ing of the scholastic year, yet the in
dication of the year, by necessary i'm
pllcati0n, is sufficiently plain without
such declaration. Subsection II of
section z, which defines the duties of
the State Superintendent, provides
that he shall annually submit to the
Governor, a detailed report of his Off
clal proceedings for the year ending
the 3lst day OF August preceding" thus
making the scholastic year close with
the 3lst of August, and begin, neces-
sarily, with the 1st of September. The
first entire scholastic year, therefore,
under our present law, began with the
lst day of last September, and will close
with the 3lst day of next August.
The 50th section of the law, about
which you inquire, provides that ''all
sums of money derived from State or
county funds, which are unexpended
IN any year, in any public school dis
trict, shall go into the hands of the
County Trustee, for re-division the
merit year" Inasmuch as school sex
penditures" for ''the year ending the
3lst dag of august" will necessarily
constitute principal item in the re-
port of the State Superintendent, it
clearly follows that by the term year"
in the 50th section, the scholastic, and
net the calendar year, was meant
Hence the provisions of the 50th sec
tion, in regard toa ''re-divisiop" ofun-
expended moneys, will not apply until
after the 3lst day of August, 1874. All
school moneys that may have accrued
to district, under the former law, be-
long exclusively to such district, and
cannot be subjected to re-division
among the other districts under the
provisions of the 50th section of the
law. The former law allowed a dis
trlct to retain its money unexpended.
The present law provides differently,
but does not and could not impair the
rights of districts acquired under the
former law. Very respectfully,
JOHN NJ. FLEMING,
State Superintendent.

Since we fors ook Thy ways;
How great has grown the SIN q

Weleft Thy living spring,
A flood from out the rock,
To seek q stagnant thing
Whose bitter waters mock.
No bloom of flower was there.
Or creeping vine of green;
The earth, a desert bare,
Had checked the sluggish stream.
We know there Is pool

Sweet waters fresh and cool
AS mornings sparkling dew.
Oh, lead us back, we pray,
And quench our thirst again;
Teach US to find the way
Which leads from death and pain.
