pARAsoLs AND FANS.

Parasols are wonderfully sensible made
of dark twilled silk, and Of size sufficient
to afford a real protection, from the rays
of the sun, and in case Of sudden shower.
Much taste is displayed in the handles
which are in dressy styles highly orna-
mented forming crosses, daggers, and kim
drod designs favorite materials for which,
are ebony, satin wood cornelian, ivory, and
for the handsomest, topaz, amethyst, and
solid silver.
The small silk parasols are still used for
carriage wear, and for this, covers of black
lace are exhibited.
The Trianon Fan will be again fashiona.
BILE, and for bridal occasions, and evening
wear, small, and highly ornamented fans of
white satin, pearl, and tortoise shell, vari-
ously combined, are shown.

JonN ANDRoss, Mrs. Rebecca Harding
Davis's last hero, is a good fellow, who falls
into the clutches Of the Pennsylvania Whis-
key Ring, and serves them to prevent the
exposure of piece of family scandal. His
impulses are good he is an eloquent
speaker and general favorite; so they
send him to the legislature, where he is hon
est until the Ring really needs his vote for
a corrupt bill. Then, at last, he rebels, but
is brought over by the influence Of the wo-
man he loves, and would have yielded ut
terly, if the Ring had not also required him
to encourage Philadelphia rough to way
lay and assassinate too faithful collector
of the whiskey tax. To this monstrous de-
mand he refuses compliance, and so virtue
is triumphant in the end. The characters
are strongly drawn, and the book is alto
gether the most effective and wholesome
which Mrs. Davis has written. 1t is pub
lished by Orange Judd & Co., whose list o.
recent American novels is quite remarkable
for its excellence. Phinney has it.

"THE NoRwIcH CADETS, TALE OF THE
REBELLION, by HOMER WHITE" lately pub
bished by Albert Clarke, St. Albans, is a
book likely to be read with interest by Yer
mOntcrs, particularly by Vermont soldiers.
Detailing many of the gallant exploits of
the Old Brigade it takes the reader through
the war from beginning to eud, the under
current of the story being true history Of
the Army Of the Potomac from first to last.
Its characters are nearly all flesh and blood
realities, whose real names are household
words among the Green Mountains. The
story is full of exciting incidents, and calls
up memories of which Vermonters are and
ever will be proud. Price, in boards, one
dollar; pamphlet, fifty cents, Sent post

tion to the people, and they thought they
were going TO lose their minister and his
wife, they we're very sorey grieved, and
with all the other arguments they used to
induce them to stay, they urged that il was
their duty, consideration that Paul and
Ruthe could not wholly put aside, so they
had stayed two years more, and though the
kind-hearted people had yearly made them
a donation" Of little ham, pork, beef,
potatoes and great amount of doughnuts,
pies, cakes, etc, etc., they had never paid
more than half Of the minute salary they
had agreed to give. SO when Ruthie had
been there three years she had not bad a
new dress
The annual convention was TO occur the
ensuing week, and as was natural and most
human, as Rulhie thought Of accompanying
her husband, she looked over her wardrobe
to see what she had to wear that was suita-
ble and decided that the only thing she
could do was TO fix her old black silk again.
As she sat ripping it the ludicrousncss Of
her situation struck her, and as she had a
keen sense Of the ridiculous, laughing mer-
rily, she broke out as we stated in the COM
mencement of our story.
But on Paul her words fell heavily. He
thought how they had both labored for the
last three years; to say nothing Of bis own
work, how Ruthie, as he called her, had
watched night and day with the sick how
she had cooked for lame Mrs. Bonney, had
sewed for blind Mrs. Smith, had done up
Charlie Jones linen to wear Fourth Of
July, when his mother was sick, and had
actually gone to the washtub and helped
little Mary Howe wash, when her mother
broke her leg how she had walked down
the hot, dusty road to the church, time and
again, to sing with the children the hymns
for Sabbath.school, and u thousand other
little things that her little hands had found
to do, and had done with her might.
lie thought it all over, and though he
had but little over twenty-five dollars ii
his purse, as the collectors had promised
him some the last Of the week, he resolved
to run the risk of their disappointing him
as they had several times before; and though
he had always shruuk from asking them fol
money, no determined that Ruthie SHOULD
have her dress at any rate. lie had a sis
ter living in Boston, dress-maker, to whom
he sent the money, with instructions to pur
chase as nice dress as she could for that
amount, and as she had made Ruthie's wed
ding dress and had her measure, to max,
her dress, and send it by express, Monday
as they were to start Tuesday.
So Ruthie ripped and stitched alternately
on the old dress wholly ignorant Of Paul
plans for surprising her, or the poor ole
Deacons troubles.

comedy story Of New York society
The villain Of the piece is a Wall street
broker the hero is a learned lawyer; the
heroine is an extravagant widow, and the
use she makes of John Worthington's name
is to endorse it, without his knowledge,
upon a ninety y-days' note Of hand, wherewith
she raises money to release herself from
some uncomfortable obligations upon which
her Wall street acquaintance prcsumes too
far. When this transaction comes to light,
John Wortbington quietly assumes the en-

Costumes Of black silk will be considered
more stylish, this season, than they have
been for year or two past, and in the gar
niturc Of them, both jet and steel, are to
greater or less extent combined. Not but
what black silk Of good quality has al
ways been fashionable, yet il is not to bo
denied, that Of late, when tho ingenuity Of
woman and those who cater to each varying
mood, was in an especial manner directed
to artistic combinations Of yariousy delicate
and curiously tinted colors, costume in
which such taste and skill had scope, was
by those who make dress study, preferred
to toilet Of black, however rich. But
these fancies having had their day. ten
dency is now observable toward a return TO
that which is standard, and black silk is re-
gaining its prestige. Elegant dresses Of
black faille have been recently imported,
which are trimmed with perpendicular rows
Of wide galloon heavily ornamented with
steel beads, and in similar fashion are cuffs,
collars, belts and ammouenes. Polonases
of black Sicilienne are trimmed with rows
Of steel fringe, aud may be worn over under
skirts Of silk garnitured with steel trim
mings in broad strips. On the approach of
very warm weather, black grenadines will
appear, ornamented with steel.

largely used, the favorte mode of putting

Three years before, Paul Rogers, poor,
but talented young man, just graduated
from the Theological Seminary, had married
Ruth Maxwell, the eldest daughter Of
wealthy parents, with their strongest dis.
approval, and came to the little village Of
Linden, to guide and feed the little flock
there. At the end Of one year, having
other and better pastorates offered him, Mr.,
Rogers thought to leave the little church
there for a larger field of labor and it must

There is also some excuse for the

whites, is only aggavating it. At

walks were covered, the stores were

New YORK, Aug. 13.-Rev. Dr.

Foreign Missions, has received a letter
from the Rev. j. O. Barrows, OF
Cesarea, dated July 10, in which he
gives some thrilling details Of the ter
rible famine now prevailing in that
region. Mr. Burrows write:
While at Todegat, which is eighty
or ninety miles north of Us, l notice
ravages of the famine, which is very
severe, and also beyond and toward
