Indeed, the Republican party of to-day
is but the outgrowth and development of
the old Wing party. The war and Its Incl
dents, the public debt and freedom to the
slave, have changed the conditions, but the
craftsmanship is the same.
DO you wonder, then, that so many Of
that noble host recognize the same old BAN

wood Ashes rs y Tcrti,iacr.


From the Courier Journal
Every farmer knows the value Of
wood ashes a. a fertilizer, and it is
generally supposed that it is owing to
the potash they contain. But the
fertilizing properties of wood ashes
are not due to the potash alone, for if
all the potash is leached out of the ashes
it is sill good fertilizer, but not as
good rs before teaching, What then
remains in the ashes after the potash
is extracted? Nine Of the heminerals
that ali plants take form the ground,
and require for their support, viz:
Soda, magnesia, sulphur, chlorine, iron,
silica, manganese, therefore, simply
require q supply OF nitrogen (amonia),
and the potash extracted returned to
hem again to make it one of he very

border, and an exquisitely fine half or full
wreath, embroidered in one corner with
the initials or monogram. White gloves
are restored to favor for full dress, or faint
est tint of flesh color. These invariably
accompany white or black ties; no other
color of glove or tie is admissible for full
toilet. Gentlemen rather passe wear laven-
der instead of white. All shades of buff,
nankeen, cafe au lait, drabs and grays are
fashionable. Other colors display dorrbt-
full taste.
In scarf rings, taste in artistic beauty of
design can be gratified by the elegance
and marvellous cuttings of antique stones,
in which, upon foundations of burned GER
annie, are carvings in chrysophose, onyx,
jasper, and sardonyx of every mythology
cal design. Upon base of vivid green is
the exquisite tiny face of Psyche, Phryne
in rosy chalcedony, or bacchante in choc-
olate onyx wreathed in vines. The set
tlngs of these rings are of dark red gold,
or golden with greenish tint, or in dull
Roman gold with filagree setting for the
stone. The ball sleeve buttons connected
by links are very fashionable, but general
ly reserved for full dress or men of leisure;
business men find them awkward, and
prefer the flat sleeve stud. There are
rumors of lace ruffs at the wrists, and fall
lace edged cravats; but just now, instead
of being "plumed like estridges," men
are attired as soberly as the guinea hen.
An air of quiet refinement and taste marks
the wardrobe of a gentlem an.
LusterIess, dead black cloth is made up
in plain full suits for mourning, with wide
bindings; for business and serviceable
wear a cloth comes of jet black, with a
mere speck of white. A fine and pretty
fabric is made up for young gentlemen of
blush or blue granite gray check, and
another style of broken plaid; the plaid
is in the fabric, and there are dainty little
silks. The opera turban is worn by the
young gentlemen, as well as low silk hats,
and another style in soft crowned felt with
turned-up brim. Fashion admits great
latitude in canes and walking sticks. The
black thorn is very substantial and polish
ed highly. There are the beautiful English
hawthorns of as rich brown as the darkest
walnut, the delicate holly, and great
many styles in variety of polished woods,
nearly all finished just as Nature made
them, gnarled and knotty.

TWO SCULPTORS.
Bv ANNIE Z. BIRMINGHAM.

Tired of labor sat a sculptor,
Brooding over many thought,
Murmuring doubts of past successes
Matchless forms by study wrought.
All I've done, he sighed, must perish;
Matter hastens to decay,
Hopes delusions still suggesting
New attempts from day to day.
Years roll on. The marble statue,
Called immortal by the crowd,
Crumbling, changes with the seasons;
Then my Graces, goddess browed,
Sculptured by an inspiration
OF the Deity on high,
Shipwrecked, sank beneath the ocean;
l escaped regretfully.
Yesterday, little damsel
Passed me, dressed in robes of gray,
By the hand she held an urchin
Frisking like lamb at play,
Following close, | saw her lead him
To school-room bright and neat,
Where entered, gladly turning
From the crowded city street.
Soon sat beside the maiden,
Modest, self-possessed; and saw
Sixty urchins just as merry,
To whose minds she gave the law,
Every. little hand was folded,
Every eye to her was raised,
Every lip to smile was moulded
When the little maiden praised.
Every head was bent in worship
When the little maiden prayed;
Every ear, in childish wonder,
Opened to the words she said.
When they sung, she led the measure;
Loving words melodious poured,
All about Heavenly Father
Whom the little maid adored.
Thus she labored all the morning;
Moulded mind and chiseled soul:
Sculptured shapes to be eternal,
Formed from that Prometheus stole.
"Fool ~ cried, "art thou, oh, carver,
Shaping out the sordid clay
When the heavenly fire is offered
To thy powers from day to day."
But, abashed, 1 shrunk and shuddered.
Am like that maided pure,
Cheerful, grave, and tender-hearted-
All that Gods and men adore?
Clay and marble 1 may handle,
Mould and chisel to my will;
But the human soul immortal
Yields a cast beyond my skill.
Maiden, mould thy statues deftly!
Thou dost handle plastic clay
Which the power of time shall harden
Hour by hour and day by day,
In the home, or in the city,
When some niche in life they fill,
May they show in power or beauty
Traces of the sculptor's skill;
And in higher forms of beauty
Greet thee on that farther shore;
Not one crippled or distorted
By thee in the days of yore.
AS for me, seize the chisel
Joyfully, and strike the blow,
Thankful that my work is ended
With the years that end below.
Chicago Teacher.
