Broad heeled shoes, having ten

furnish the fayorite walking boot, and

stockings are more in vogue than ever,

former are the later of the two, and

English Women'g Art in Dress.

We have seen something Of the happy
home-life of England wholesome, nat
ural, yet exquisitely refned-the cor
o0rdistn1 of English society, and We
have seen a little of fashionable life on
one or two gay occasions. One dancing
party, though large and carrying weight
in the shape of two or three titles, went
off in the most dashing and blithesome
way, / saw there toilets on English
ladies not to be surpassed in Paris, and
worn with perfect grace. 1t is a popu-
lar fallacy that English women OF the
upper class do not know how to dress
and, by the by, the injurious charge Is
often made by their oountrymen: There
was at that party in Gloucester Terrace
q great deal of beauty, as matter OF
course e- high-bred and high.colored
English beauty and high spirited and
somewhat low-toned American lowell
ness. Perhaps our most effective repre-.
sentative was a young daughter OF
Horace Greeley, who even in London is
not only distinguished by her bloom and
the fine classic character of her head
and face, but for the perfect simplicity
and maidenly modesty Of her toilet
the fitness and fit of her dresg-Lorsdou

A Japanese Bath.

A writer in Temple Bar says In
japan, even in the lowest inns, the
travellers request for bath is never
met with that stare Of blank astonish-
ment which often attends the demand in
our own and every other European
country. I know in Ireland once l asked
for a bath and they brought me horse
bucket, and on another occasion, in
France, could get no nearer the article
than horse trough, while in England
and Germany the request has more than
once led to q serious breach Of the peace
between myself and the landlord. In
japan. on the contrary, there would be
much more surprise felt If the traveller
did not ask for one. There were no
preparations required, no rushing about
of chambermaids, no turning on this
and off that-everything was quite
ready, and was ct once conducted to
hugo wooden bath with small earthen
furnace let in at the foot, and lid en-
closing the whole Of the top with the
exception of space just big enough for
the head of the bather to emerge through.
In one OF these contrivances, with a
small furnace burning gayly, Japa-
nese, after his days work IS over,
will sit calmly himself with the lid on,
and the water bubbling about him at
boiling heat. He seems, however, TO
like it uncommonIy, to judge from the
pleased expression on his face fast deep
eninQ under the process INTO beetroot-
like tinss and when he has at last had
enough-about an hour of 1.-THE takes
off the lid and emerges as much like
boiled lobster as human being can be-
come. My bath was quite ready the
small furnace glowed with live pieces OF
charcoal the water bubbled merrily,
aud my companions OF the bath, taking
off the lid, invited me TO enter. Not
being, however, either Japanese, blue
lobster, or q potato, did not see any
particular object in being boiled, and SO
had the fuel raked out Of the furnace
and q few buckets Of cold water added
before I got in,

WOMEN UNDER THE HTNDoo Law.
According to the Hindoo law-giver,
woman has no god on earth but her
husband, and no religion except to
crafty. obey, and serve him. Let her
husband be crooked, old, infirm, often
sive; let him be irascible, irregular,
drunkard, q gambler, debauchee let
him be reckless Of domestic affairs, as If
possessed by a devil though he lived
In the world without honor though he
be deaf or blind, wholly weighed down
by crime and infrmity-still shall his
wife regard him as her God. With all
her might shall she servo him, in all
things obey him, see no defects in his
character, and give him no cause OF
uneasiness. Nay, more in every stage
Of her existence woman lives but to
obey-at first her parents, next her hus-
band and his parents, and in her old
age must be ruled hy hel children.
Never during her whole life can she
be under her own control, the life of
women in India must be conducted.
The Hindoo writer was considerate
enough too add few particulars: "If
her husband laughs, she ought to
laugh if he weeps, she ought to weep /;
If he is disposed 10 speak, she ought to
Join in the conversation. Thus is the
goodness of her nature displayed. What
woman would eat until her husband has
first had his fill? II he abstains, she
will surely fast also If he Is sad viii
she not be sorrowful? And if he is gay,
will she not leap for joy2 In the ab.
senee Of her husband her raiment shall
be mean.

ADVICE FOR THE MARRIED. Preserve
gacrsdly the privacies of your house,
your marriage state, and your heart.
Let not father, mother, brother, sister
nor any third person, even presume to
come in between you two, or to share
the iovs and sorrows that belong TO you
two alone. With Heavens help build
your own quiet world, not allowing the
dearest earthly friend to be the conf
dant Of aughE that concerns your do
mestic peace. Let alienation, if it oC-
cura. be hsaled at once. Never speak
of it outside, but to each other confess
and all will come out right. Never let
the morrew's sun still find you at yari-
anee. Renew or review the vow at all
temptations will do you both good.
And thereby your souls viii grow to
0ether. oemented in that love which Is
stronger than death, and you viii be-
come truly 0ne.

Curing Headache with a Sfx-DenDy
Nail.

A strange and remarkable case was
brought under the attention of DR.. Tate,
of Augusta county, few days since.
He was called to see Mrs. Taylor, wife
of Mr.. Robert Taylor, living about
three miles from Greenville, and found
that she had driven six-penny nail into
the back of her head, which, after much
difficulty, he succeeded in extracting.
The nail had been driven In several days
previously, and by her own hand. 1t
was discovered by a daughter of hers
while combing her hair one day, and
she insisted on keeping the fact secret.
but her daughter sent for DR.. Tate, as
above stated. She told her daughter
that she had driven the nail in several
days before, with the fiat side Of a
hatchet that she hHd bouu Buffori ing
with violent pains in her head, but since
driving in the nail she had been entirely
free from them, Some years ago she
had been confined in tho Western Lunatic
ASYLUM, and has for some time been
partially deranged. II the nail pene-
trated the skull, as I understand it did,
it is a very remarkable case, and one OF
much interest to the medical fraternity.
