A Hint to Young Ladies.

Female loveliness never appears to so
good advantage as when set off by simple
ity Of dress. No artist ever decks his an
gels with towering feathers and gaudy jew
elry and our dear human angels-if they
would make good their title to that name
should carefully avoid ornaments which
properly belong to Indian squaws and AT
rican princesses. These tinselries may
serve to give effect on the stage or upon
ballroom floor, but in daily life there is no
substitute for the charm Of simplicity. A
vulgar taste is not to be disguised by gold
and diamonds. The absence of true taste
and refinement of delicacy cannot be COM
pensated for by the possession Of the most
princely fortune. Mind measures gold, but
gold cannot measure mind. Through dress
the mind may be read, as through the del
icate tissue the lettered page. A modest
woman win dress modestly a really reHn-
cd and intellectual woman win bear the
marks of careful selection and faultless
taste.

Thistle's room, ON his return, looked
cheerless enough. An old bachelors life

Sarcastic Romance.

A PPEARING in a Nashville paper,
IA whether original Herewith or not,
and credited to one j. Beateman Smith, is
a tremendous romance of facts in Fayette-
vile, from which the appended chaste de-
scriptions of the lovers concerned may be
tastefully quoted;
He was young, he was fair, and he part
ed his hair, like the average beau, in the
middle he was proud, he was bold, but
the truth must be told, he played like
demon on the fiddle. But, aside from
this vice, he was everything nice, and his
heart was so loving and tender that he
always turned pale when he trod ON the
tail of the cat lying down by the fender.
He clerked in a store, and the way that he
tore off calico, jeans and brown sheeting,
would have tickled calf and made the
brute laugh in the face OF quarterly meet
ing. He cut quite dash with darling
moustache, which he learned to adore and
cherish for one girl had said, while she
dropped her proud head, that 'twould kill
her to see the thing perish. On Sunday
he'd search the straight road to the
church, unheeding the voice of the scorn-
er; and demurely he sat, like young tab
by cat, with the saints in the far amen
corner. He sang like bird, and his
sweet voice was heard tugging away a
long meter; and we speak but the truth
when we say that this youth could outsing
a hungry mosquito.
She was young, she was fair, and she
scrambled her hair like the average belle
Of the city she was proud but not bold,
yet the truth must be told that the way
she chewed wax was pity. But aside
from this vice, she was everything nice,
and the world much applauded her hustle
and the Fayetteville boys, being calmed
by the noise, walked miles just to hear
the thing rustic. She cut quite swell,
did this wax-chewing belle, and the meI
focked in armies to meet her but she
gave them the shirk, for she loved the
young clerk who sang like hungry mos
quito. SO she hemmed and she hawed
and she sighed and she " "chawed," (" till hel
heart and her jaws we're both broken
then she walked by the store, while HI
stood at the door awaiting some amativ'
token. She raised up her eyes with I
pretty surprise, and tried to enact thu
proud scorner but to tell the plain trutl
she just grihned at the youth who loyec
