Spring Fashions in Paris.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris that
the Spring fashions, like the trees are
in full bloom. The latest and best
worn combination of colors at present

which was lately made by the celebra-
ted Laferriere, was composed of black
velvet, with an overdress and drapery
of dead-white surah Large parasols
of black silk, bordered with a single
band of Valenciennes insertion and a
ruff1e of white. Valenciennes lace are
very fashionable. In bonnets the
large profusion of flowers which were
the rage at the beginning OF the sea-
son, have been replaced in some in
stances by single superb feather,
curving entirely around the outside Of
the hat; the inside of the brim is filled
in with a rouleau either of velvet or of
surah to match the tiEts ofthe feather.
These bonnets are, of course, very,
costly, such long plumes being ex
tremely expensive. In flowers the
blended field flowers continue to
be much in vogue, but the highest
fashion has desreed that roses are not
to be worn on bonnets any longer.
They are worn, nevertheless, the die.

toilette are replaced by draperied
scarfs crossing the front of the dress.
The combination of plaids with plain
materials in suits continue to be very
effective and will be still more popular
when the suits in wash material for
summer wear are brought out. Ok
ford linens, in combination of stripes
and solid colors, will be much worn
this summer, and so also will EN-
broidered cambrics. White needle
work upon dark and blue ecru is the

Advice to Manageable Girls.

"Girls," said a worthy old lady to
her granddaughter, "whenever q
fellow pops the question don't blush
and stare at your feet. Just throw
your arms around his neck, look him
full in the face ant commence talking
about the furniture. Young fellows
are mighty nervous, sometimes. |

A girl found the above in news.

the suggestion contained therein. She
had tried many other plans to cap
ture the wary fuZzle-lipped youths
AMI had failed. As last desperate
resort she would try the furniture
business. So, when the y,urg man
whom she was angling for dropped
in to see her the other evening she
received him with smiles and lured
him along in the conversation up to
what she considered the popping
point.
She held the tempting bait before
his eyes, and he opened his mouth
and said /:
"Angellne l have long entertain.
ed feelings of the highest regard for
you. | have the greatest regard for
your judgment, and / would ask you
question upon whichifmuch of my
future happiness depends. Wouli
you have me-"
He was interrupted. The girl
threw herself across the room into
his lap, and as she held him in an iron
embrace, she stared into his eyes, and
rapidly vociferated.
"Oh, yes-doubie bedstead-wi.h
all my heart-mahogany sofa-bless
you-parlor and kitchen set-my
love-marble topped cradle-and abr
The astonishei youth, partly re-
covering his senses, strove to pacify
the excited girl, and find out what
was the matter with her.
AS he soothed her, she held tighter
to him, and, between her sighs, whis-
pered Of love and furniture. Suspi-
cioniDg that he had been misunder-

ooh, yes, chairs and"
"Do listen would you
have me marry Miss Gertrude B
of Glasgow, or Miss Emma P of
Lexington? You see l am undecid-
ed. and L"
Like q cat arising from hot grid

low, and she poured hot epithets up
on him like scalding water rushing
from the mouth of a kettle on dogs
back.

THE WORLD rs WHAT We MAKE 1T

I've seen some people in this life
Who always repining,
Who never, never yet could see
The storm-cloud's silver lining.
There always something 10 Omiss,
From sunrise TO its setting;
That Gods hand made this map OF life,
They seem the while forgetting.
And have seen blessed sight
To sin-beclouded vision,
Some people who, wher'er they be,
Make ear tn seem an Elysian.
They always see the brightest side
The direful shadows never
A md keep the flower of hope in bloom
Within their hearts forever.
The one can make the sunniest day
Seem wondrous sad and dreary;
The other smiles the clouds away,
And make a sad life CHEEKY.
If we can vanquish grief and care,
Let's haste to undertake it.
This life of ours is, after all,
About as we shall make il.

The Whipping Post-How they Pun
ish Petty Offenders IN Delaware.

The Philadelphia Times describes
the last semi-annual post and pillory
performance which came off at the
Jail-yard at New Castle, Del, on
Saturday, in the presence of several
hundred men, women and children.
John Reardon, Bubber Davis and
John Thomas, white, and Sandy
Leonard, colored, were the only can
didates for the stocks. Each was i'm
piloried for an hour, and suffered the
indescribable torture attending the
punishment The whipping began at
noon, with colored youth named
Frisby as the first victim. The cat
o'-nine tails descended on his bare
back twenty times, making him jerk
and wriggle and wish he had never
stolen the s42 for which this was
part of the penalty. John Diggs,
colored, convicted of the larceny Of
razors, was the next whipped merci.
fully with twenty lashes. Dilmer
Davis was then severely dashed for
larceny, aud, although evidently suf-
fering from the punishment, he forced
a smile when released from the post,
and asked allows that for high ?"
George Thompson, whose head was
gray with age, tottered to the post
and was whipped lightly. His offense
was larceny of chickens, and his pun
ishment was twenty lashes. Robert
Allen, coIored, was the next whipped.
Reddy August, white boy OF not
more than Is, but who had been
whipped before, was then fastened to
the post "Get hold Of that" he
said, as he threw his coat at the Sher-
iff and barred his back "Now let us
have 'em." Charles Henderson, a
consumptive and a thief, was whip
ped with twenty lashes, and finally
came John Thomas, highway robber,
who received forty lashes, and when
released his back was as red as a
beet, and here and there blood was
oozing from the large welts made by
the lash. Il would rather serve
lifetime in the Penitentiary than
undergo that punishment again." he
said as he pulled on his coat and
started for the prison.
DRIVEN BY KIssEs.-A handsome
young lady with nice red checks and
pair of pouting lips, who drives her
pony on the avenues uptown, actual
" urges her equine, who is naturally
a lazy sort of brute, into a high
rate of speed by throwing kisses at
him. At any rate the boys suppose
them 10 be kisses, for she purses up
her lips, draws inwardly the air and
saccharine at the same time, sounding
that peculiarly long drawn note of
bliss called kiss, and then it's real
ly worth something to see that lazy
steed curve his back, straighten his
traces, and shoot out with such q
speed that the wheels of the carriage
are fairly lifted from the ground.
Now if one of these kisses will make
a horse hump himself up in this man
ner. what would a man do if placed
in a similar position 1t charms us
to think of it, for there must be
oceans upon oceans of electricity in
one of these vacuum, and the power
of q multitude of galvanic batteries.
