A telegraphers' newspaper, speaking of
the employment OF women as operators says
that their power is already felt in the style
of conversation between male operators
over the wires. Low jests and vulgarity
have grown less frequent, and an intima-
ton that there is a female operator on a
circuit puts a quietus on the most virulent
of blasphemers.

in 1874 was increased Ia, 1S2, we would nat.
urally expect that the enrolment would be

excess of 10, S9S. Thus it appears that nearly

The increase in the number otteachers and
their wages has about kept pace with the in

be passed by unnoticed, and the increase

THE NEW YEAR.

A gray old man toiled at the rope
Loud rang the bell and clear;
The hour was midnight, ahd the tune,
The passing OF the year.
And, as he toiled, the old man sang,
And laughed between mis- breath
He laughed and sang with gee and yet
He tolled knell for death.
''Old man." said I, ''this shameless mirth
Seems sadly out of place
A solemn chant, dirge, or prayer
Would bear better grace.

DeWy tears are softly falling
On the clover fresh ana white,
And the last bright sunbeam fingers,
Lingers, but to say goodnight.
Now the prairie rose is folding
Pinky petals, wet with due,
And zach spray of grass 10 bending
With pearl-like drop Or two.
Hear the wood doves plaintive cooling
AS she seeks her shaded nest,
And the gently waving willows
Rock her birdlings all to rest.

In the twilight's CLEAN and glow,
While the evening air is fragrant
And the cooling zephyrs blow.
Now the sunset hues are fading.

Pale and paler fades The cleaning
From the heavens starry crest,
And the drifting, dusky shadows
Gently lull the world to rest.

That Chilly winds and sleety snow
Win visit Us the Winter long
That Ice wall span the rivers breadth,
And hide the water limpid gleam,
And pebbly shore and pearly she'll
VIII only seem Summers dream;
That trees will bend their brown head
down,
Oppressed by weight of ciinging snow,
And white and chill the way will be
Where'er the winds of Winter blow
That frost will trace the window pane
With cold devices quaint and fair,
AS faultless and as fading as
Our fragile castles built in air /;
That years may come With lcaden tread
Armed with grim Winters yet to be
OF colder ice, and heavier snow
The little snowbirds sing to me;
But turning from their pirate away
My heart takes up sweet refrain,
That snOWbirds leave for other climes
And Summer will return again.
The log will light the Winter hearth
With many 2 CLEAN of Summer ray,
And will soon forget the song

y Dark and deep like midnight skies;
You mayhap have seen them fash

In its little gaiter boot?
You have noticed, maybe, how

Beauty Borrowing from the Beast.

COMING events cast their shadows be-
fore, and if fashion has any influence on
Fahrenheit we are likely to have win
ter of very great severity. Fashionable
ladies, Who have been dressed like men,
must now dress like wild animals. All
the new tissues are to resemble furs, and
as, few years ago, young ladies were
said to wear Dolly Vardens, so now they
will put on their "camels." That is the
generic name by which the Partisan
modistes have called this years fabrics,
though of course there is variety al
lowed and young lady may appear as a
reindeer, as & bear, as Northern elk
In fact, as any rough skinned animal she
may select. But it is necessary that the
skins should consist of as few pieces as
possible. The "camel" and collar
which will be known in the fashionable
world as dogs collar will complete the
costume. Even if the winter of 1874
should be as inclement as that of 1870
there may be days when the :scamer,
would be too warm, and so less heavy
garments have to be prepared. Still the
relations with the animal world will be
kept up. Ladies when they cannot go
out like beasts will go out like birds. All
trimmings are to be made of feathers
cocks feathers, pheasants' feathers, pea
cocks feathers. This plumage is to
cover the dresses, but whole bird will
be in the hat. A very fashionable lad,
may, therefore, assume parrots head
and peacOck's tail-LondOn Globe.
