Winter B0nnets.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the
Philadelphia Bulletin:
The winter bonnets are beginning to
bloom forth like autumn flowers in the
milliners' shop windows. For the benefit
of thrifty womnnknd at home i am hap
by to be able 10 state that the shapes show
very little variation from those OF last
winter. The close gypsy shape, tribe
closer 10 the head and lower on the brlm
In frout than formerly, will be the most
popular. The fashionable tints appear to
be different shades OF brown, the beauti.
full rich dark blue known IA lOutre,"
and beautiful delicate fawn called beige.
Felt will retain its popularity. The hat
OF fashionable lady must In all instances
match her walk ngsuit, and the felt hats
and bonnets come in all the different
popular shades. There was q charming
hat for a young girl shown TO me OF pale
fawn. colored or beige-colored felt, trimmed
around the crown with bias folds or
corded silk, twisted at one side into two
loops, which were held down by light
brown wing and by two small, round
brooches In oxidized silver, connected by
silver chain. This hat, which was OF
the close gypsy shape, was bordered
around the edge outside by an inch.wide
band of imitation fur interviewer with the
felt itself The face trimming was COM
posed of bias folds Of vivid scarlet silk,
twisted INTO knot at one side. Long
loops and ends OF scarlet ribbon fell from
the inside Of the brim behind so as To
drop over the chignon. Another hat was
Of light gray felt, dotted with light blue
In a sort OF chine pattern. The crown was
encircled by full, broad ruche OF pale
blue velvet, lined with gray silk. Bias
folds OF blue velvet filled In the inside OF
the brim. A very lovely hat Of light gray
felt was trimmed outside with the bias
folds Of black and white silk In tiny
check; these folds were confined at inter-
walls with humming. birds wings The
face trimming was OF the check SILK, with
a single cluster Of pale pink roses.

and she may die with you. The girl is
old enough to become my wife, so you
may have your own in DEATH
Poor Moses was agonized. He had
known that he was to become father
but that thought had almost passed from
his mind in the grief of losing his wife.
Now that child was before him. And
there came another horror. Over the ice
approached an emacia!ed woman, her
steps lettering and the chains which she
wore clanking at every movement Moses
saw the expression of the face, and in that
wild eye he felt that madaened soul was
mirrored He groaned within himself
and then said: "Oh, my friend, we are
but two, but we must fight even against
such odds. Twill save my wife and child
or die by their sidee
"Then fire, returned the friend, as be
placed rifle in the hands OF Moses, and
at the same time raised his own. Fire,
and then rush forward with your knife"
Two shsts rang out sharp, and two
savage yells followed as two dusky forms
leaped into the air and fell forward upon
their faces; then came a volley from some
unseen source and but six Of the fiends
remained standing, while the howlings OF
those who fell were fearful.
Some twenty of the avengers now arose
from concealment behind the different
fires and charged toward the center, where
Milburn and his female captives were
still standing As Moses came forward
the villain recognized him, and seemed
thunderstruck. He took step back
ward, and down he plunged through the
very hole which he had prepared as the
grave OF his foe. He never came to the
surface again, and his death was hor.
rible one, especially as it occurred just as
he supposed himself thoroughly triumph
ant
The husband, wife and child were
happily united, and, as they had no longer
a Milbum to trouble them, they occupied
their quiet home upon the Croton un-
molpsted

closing repast OF the day has not been
eaten too late, or has not been excessive
in quantity or indigestible in quality, the
stomach will be rested and active in the

The little children of a gentleman
living near Marysville concluded few
days since to have little fun by playing
Webb. The arrangements as made and
agreed to were as follows: A Sheriff was
named who was TO do the hanging; one Of
the party agreed to be John Webb, who
was to be hung by the Sheriff. and when he
had hung long enough he was to halloo
that the Sheriff and others might take him
down. The remainder of the crowd were
to be friends and mourners of Mr. Webb.
The arrangements all made, the would-be
Webb was launched forth betwixt heaven
and earth, with promise to halloo when
he had enough, and the friends set up a
general lamentation for their friend Webb,
who was expected to halloo pretty soon,
but nary halloo. Webb continued to
hang and the mournes continued their
didoes, when the performance happened
TO be noticed by some of the women of
the family, who arrived on the scene of
action in time TO save an obituary in the
Marysville Republican, BE il said to the

rwo artless souls met to-day
nair OF ilomespun lovers;
a. Iiontsome and as careless they
A. sught the sunshine covers.
c.~.v moths that float the summer through
uss wingless seemed beside them,
VINO wholly glad, found naught to do
with what might yet betide them.
.iono the busy street they slept,
Their arms close intertwisted;
And OF the crowd no record kept
While one to other listed.
Jeould not hear word they said,
Yet quick, returning glances
Between them spoke of spirits wed
Like those in old romances.
The sachel swinging on his arm,
His garments quantity fitted,
Her old time dress, yet girlish charm,
All held me while they fitted.
I saw they would not barter one
or either's valued kisses
For any riches under sun
That make up meaner blisses.
And then thought how Heaven comes down
To bless the simple hearted
Who have no care for fashions frown
Nor fear but to be parted
And thought, too, II the world but guessed
The half Of what 1t loses
Bv sighting love, 'twould stand confessed
Ia shame OF what it chooses.
Yet nothing rocked the happy pair
OF such lesson needed
By folk o'erlooked, while passing there
Themselves as little needed.
All uuconcerned they dreamed not why
| scanned their tell-tale faces,
And pitied silent ones go by
To cold, heart-lonely places.
These laughed and talked, delighting each,
And slept as on the heather;
Supremacy blest one goal to reach,
Linked arm in arm together.

minister of Mooresville had come.
On Saturday Mr.-frequently
spoke of his curiosity to hear the
new preacher. He was sick all Sat
urday night. so much so that he
could not sleep. After breakfast
Sunday morning, he told his wife
he would take nap and then go to
church. He was sleeping so sweet
ly at the regular church time that
his wife would not wake him. just
as the congregation began to pour
out he raised up, and his wife said;
'You were sleeping so soundly l
did not disturb you to go to the
Methodist Church, and so you miss
ed hearing the new preacher"
'.No, heard him.
How could you hear him, and I
know you have been asleep ali the
time"
Nevertheless 1 heard him, and
to prove it, I will show you"
And he wrote down at once a text
divided into various heads and
made a synopsis of the sermon, Civ
ing the leading arguments. This
was shown that evening to the
Methodist minister and others, and
they all recognized it as almost the
literal sermon.
He once heard DR.. Baird, and in
some respect differed with the Doc
tor. On going home, he went to
sleep and answered the Doctor,
much to his great amusement-for
he was present 1t was said to
have been a mastery criticism,
Astounding in figures of rhetoric and
very sarcastic in tone.
II is unnecessary to repeat all the
wonderful things he does. 1t is
said that if asked where any missing
article or property is while in his
trance, he at once sees it and is able
to tell its precise location. A boy
stole his wife's breast-pin. and on
being informed of its loss, Mr.
without any hesitation named the
party who had it and it was recov-
| cred.
How can these things be? That
they are so is uuquestionable, as
Drs. Provine, Baird and Blake will
testify, but how they are so,puzzles
the scientific mind. Mr.--scouts
the idea of spirits aiding him, and
will not, under any circumstances,
receive money for any information,
Iif asked for it, at any other time ex
cept while under the influence OF
his epiliptic or eataleptic exacerba-
ton. There is some cerebral dis
turbance, a approximation or rath
er hyper@sthesia of the sensorium
that pushes his mind or soul free
and untramelled into space, and
thus, uninhuenced by surrounding
objects, it sees clearly all things
happening around. We see often
the same thing to a limited extent
in the case of somnambulists
They, with closed eyes, will walk
over houses, near precipices and
with impunity. Why? Because
from peculiar nervous exaltation
the optic expansion ceases to he the
only mode of conveyance to the
brain, of objects, and every nervous
filiment becomes protempore re
tina. This is a temporary catalep.
sy, and an unusual or overpowering
amount of hyperesthesia would pro-
duce like greater results.
