The Fashions.

THE regular Paris correspondent OF
Hdrper's Bdzdr writes as follows:
"The winter season has set in, and all
our dressmakers are busy in the prepa-
ration of toilets for soirees, balls, dinner
parties, and full-dress morning recep-
tions; for modification has been intro
duced into Partisan life which it is i'm
sembied only in the evening, and full
dress toilets were composed solely with
view to the effect of artificial light
now there are multitude of circum-
stances which give rise to day recep-
tions, and for these there are devised
special toilets, partakIng of the summer
through their tints and transparent It's
sues, and of tine winter by their costliness
and length.
among the caprices permitted by the
present fashion we will cite, after the
adoption of velvet in summer, the wear
ing of white straw hats in winter, but
only for full-dress morning receptions to
which one goes in a carriage, and never
for the street, calls, church, or any pub
lie place, in word. These bonnets are
of the shape of those worn by Watteau's
shepherdessss; they are profusely
adorned with flowers, and are trimmed
with flowing light-colored ribbons, all
matching the dress.
"This season the fashionable caprice
is wooden fabrics, and when they are
very fine, handsome, soft and of light
colors they are trimmed with white lace
and associated with the most elegant
Lyons velvets. White laces, moreover,
are very much in vogue for the trimming
of full-dress toilets, even when the latter
are daTf-colOred. All kinds are used,
white Chantilly being in especial favor.
Black Chantiily is considered us belong
ing to noJtige toilets.
For balls multitude of pretty effects
are created with shaded tulles and tarla-
tans. These fabrics are manufactured
this season of all coiors from the palest
to the darkest. The following dress,
MacMahon's first ball, is a type of this
kind: Skirt of yellow bronze faille, Gov
cred with tulle of little lighter color,
then with still lighter tulle, and then with
silk tullc Uhe first two are cOttor) of the
palest shade of yellow bronze. The over
dress is trimmed with flounces, ruches
and branches of moss-roses. The rage
this winter for full-dress toilets is lace
woven of gold, silver and oNidiZed silver,
the latter being the newest of all. Thus
far these laccs are manufactured
by si1gle house, and nothing can he
imagined at once more beautiful and
more SumptuouS. | have seen the two
following toilets made with lace of
this kind: Dress of plain black velvet
with cuirass waist and short sleeves.
Tablier made of three tiounces of black
Chantilly lace. Each seam where the
lounces were set on, and on the edge of
the tablier, was trimmed with oXidiZed
silver lace, pale pink belt fastening on
the tablier Around the neck and on the
bottom of the sleeves was pale pink rib
bon, yelled by the same lace, which also
edged the neck and the bottom of the
sleeves. The other dress was of Turkish
red faille, trimmed with silk gau. .

A Right-Hand Servant.

Asa and Ira were brothers whose farms
lay side by side When the young corn,
the oats and the barley were springing
up the weeds took advantage of the rich
soil and came up with them.
"DO you see," said Asa, g what hold
the weeds are taking? There is danger
of their choking out the crops entirely"
"Well, well, we must be resigned" said
Ira. weeds as well as grain were a part
of the Creators plan"
81 can only be resigned to what l can
not help" said Asa. So he went to work
and plowed and hoed until the fields were
clear of weeds.
THE army worm is in the neighbor-
hood" said Asa to Ira one day, land is
fast moving toward u.s."
"Ah" exclaimed Ira, ." it will surely
destroy what the weeds have not chokcd
out. will Immediately retire to pray
that its course may be stopped"
But Asa replied: 81 pray every morn
ing for strength to do the work of the
day" And he fastened to dig trench
around his land which the army worm
could not pass, while Ira returned from
his prayers only in season to save a por-
ton of his crops from its ravages.
"Do you see, Ira?" said Asa, another
morning, 1.-The river is rising, and our
farms will be overlooked"
- Alas! IL Is Il judgment upon us IOr our
sins; and what can we do?" said Ira in
despair.
There are no judgments so severe as
those which our own sloth brings upon
us" said Asa; and he went quickly and
hired workmen, and they raised an en-
bankment that withstood the flood, while
Ira witnessed with blank looks the de-
struction of all his wealth.
There is one consolation" said he !;
'my children at least are left me-"
But while Asa's sons grew up strong
and virtuous men, among lra's there was
Il drunkard, n gambler, and IA suicide.
The ways of the Lord are not equal"
said Ira to his brother. why are you
always prospecting while l am afflicted
and disgraced?"
Il only know this replied Asa; that
Heaven always helped me to meet my
children's faults as | meet the weeds, the
caterpillars, and the flood; and never
sent petition upward without making
Toll, my right-hand servant, the mes
senger of my prayer. Work and pray"

FIFTY times over spider lad tried

Said pale, puny spider, in wandering by;
What folly to think that by struggling there
To fasten your web in the sunlit air;
Hundreds have tried it-yes, Observation-Disclosures;
But behold! they dust and nothing more;
They have tried and failed. Far better, know,
To wait for grubs in the space below

And drank in the sunlight, breathed in the air,
Rejoiced in flavor of delicate fare.
But where was the spider SO puny, so wise,
Waiting for grubs to walk under his eyesy

Sudden End Of a Marriage Ceremony.

THE Wilmington Del) Republican tells
story of sudden and total interrupt
ton of the course of true love. 1t says
"Thursday week two lovers took passage
ION the afternoon train from this city to
Philadelphia, for the avowed purpose of
being united in wedlock. On their ar
rival in Philadelphia messenger was
dispatched to Camden to secure the ser
vices of a certain preacher whom they
desired to Officiate. At 8 80 o'clock the
loving pair appeared before the reverend
gentleman and announced themselves
ready to take a new departure into the
state of matrimony. The minister was
required, either by the law of his State
or by the regulations of his church, to
keep a correct and complete record of
the names of all parties married, also
| their real age, their nativity, the full
names and age and nativity of their par
ents. The ceremonies commenced in
due time; the intended bridegroom
answered all questions promptly To
the question how old are you? he replied
twenty-fiv years. The intended bride
answered all questions until she was
asked her age. This question she point
blank refused to answer, whereupon she
was politely informed by the officiating
Their unless she would give correct
answer to the question She paused for
a few minutes and then responded: Il
am thirty-one years OF age" This uneX-
pected announcement seemed to surprise
the intended bridegroom and, apparently
with great feeling, he stated that her
mother positively declared that she was
twenty six, and, as he was twenty-five.
he considered this an attempt to deceive
him, and after further discussing and
considering the situation he finally de-
cided not to marry any woman who was
SO much older than himself and who had
tried to deceive him"

A LADY in Beacon street, whose hus-
band has taken up the idea of the" dress
reform" with characteristic vigor, re-
solved to make practical use of the
theory. Consequently, on the fond hus-
bands arrival and entrance into the little
library in which the lady was quietly
sitting, he gazed at her narrowly, then
coming up to her gently he said softly:
My dearest, are you ill.," Not at all, "
answered the wife, calmly. Have you
been so to-day?" "Never better in my
life" answered madam. "Then why in
the world is your hair done up, or rather
down, in that outlandish fashion, and
why have you made such IA guy of your
self, when you know the P.'s are coming
to dinner" This, my dear" responded
the wife, still more calmly, and looking
innocently up into the eXasperated hus-
bands eyes, this, my own, is the exact
copy of the proposed dress REFORM, al

that the household resembled heaven on

Shepherd Dogs.

In southern California you may
see on the hills and pl ms thou.
sands of sheep, but not a man to
watch them. Around each flock
or band of, say a thousand sheep.
are about half a dozen dogs whose
presenitors were imported from
the pastures of the old world.
These dogs take the entire care
of the sheep; drive them to past.
nre in the morning, keep them
from 8traying during the day, and
bring them home at night. These
Digs have inherited "A talent for
Keeping sheep; but the shepherds
do not depend wholly on that. -
They cultivate it in this way:
When lamb is born, it is ia.
ken away from its mother before
she has seen it, and a puppy PIT
in It's place. When the puppy
grows old enough to eat meat, ii
is fed in the morning and sent out
with the sheep. 1t stays with
them because it is accustomed to
be with lis mother, but it cannot
feed with them. AS they get full
the dog gets hungry. At length,
impatient to return where it hopes
to get another piece OF meat, it
begins to tease and worry its moth
er, and finally starts her home ;
the other sheep follow, and thus
the flock is brought in. If the
dog brings the sheep home too
soon, or comes home without them,
he gets no supper or is punished
in some way. Hence, he soon
learns when to come, and sees to
it that none Of his charge are left
behind. These animals are train
ed by taking advantage of their
instincts and -appetites. - Raral

The Cultivation of Ruta-
bagas for Mich Cows.
LITTLE FALLS. N. 81.

In the long winter Of Central
New York. the dairy stock suf-
lers somewhat for the want of
fresh food; and the want of a
succulent vegetable renders the
dairy COW less profitable as we'll
as less healthful.
The advantage to the dairy
.ryman of securing so much food
from a small patch of land
makes it quite an induccment
TO raise rutabagas for the win
ter feeding Of mich COWS; and
this is more especially applica-
bic to the changed conditions
of the seasons which prevents
the land from producing that
amount Of hay or grass which
it formerly did when the season
was more favorable for grass
production.
If good piece of old sod is
well plowed so as to turn as
fatty as possible the fnrrow
after which the land should be
drilled across the burrows, two
and "a half feet apart, and
the drills should be filled with
old, well decomposed manure,
then the drills will be ready for
putting in the seeds, and of
course covering them up with
earth.
The precaution should always
be carried out Of using sutfi-
cient seed and also the thinning
out Of all surplus plants so as
to allow of the largest possible
growth Of the rutabagas, and i'll
this mode of cultivation the We
ny largest yield is obtained, and
as an illustration of this mode
of cultivating the rutabaga, an
acre of land has produced one
thousand bushels, and therefore
the proftablencss of such a pro-
duction can be readily realized.
If these rutabagas are put in
a cellar where the action Of the
frost cannot reach them, and if
this vegetable is finely cut up
for the use of COWS, it will prove
to not only be a healthful diet
for stock, but it will largely in
crease the flow Of milk.
