A Word to ThOughtIess Girls.

In a late number of Fors
Cla0igera Mr.. Ruskin advises
his girl readers as follows !:
"Cress as plainly as your par
ents will allow you, but in
bright collors (if they become
you) and in the best materials
that is to say in those which
wear longest. When you are
really in want of asnew dress
buy it Tor make it) in the fashion
but never quit an old one mere
ly because it has become un-
fashionable. Aud if the fashion
be costly you must not follow
it. You may wear broad stripes
or narrow, bright colors or dark
short petticoats or long Tin mod
eration), as the public wish
you; but you must not buy
yards OF useless stuff to make a
knot or hounce OF, nor drag
them behind you over the
ground. And your walking
dress must never touch the
ground at all. I have lost
much OF the faith [ once had

the personal delicacy of the
present race of average English
woman by seeing how they will
allow their dresses to sweep the
streets, as if it is the fashion to
be scavengers. fyou can afford

good dressmaker, with the ut
most attainble precision and
perfection; but let this good
dressmaker be poor, living in
the country-not q rich person

self, with pains and time, and
use a part of the every day
needle work, making as pretty |
dresses as you for poor people
who have not time nor taste to
make them nicely for them
selves. You are to show them

light and graceful, and to help

of mingled astonishment and

ran over the nest, and working

they have stimulated the fear of
immense payments for losses Of
slaves and property during the
war; they have pointed to South
ern men as the cause of these
calamities in the past and the
source of these dangers in the
future; they have, with Kissing
tongue, denounced Southern
Democrats as rebels in heart
and hypocrites in conduct and
language. They have done
these things to make a solid
North-to rouse passion and
prejudice and hatred to frenzy
