Such Cousins.

For several days a domestic row has
been in progress of Investigation before
the Recorder aud other magistrates in a
case between Mr.. ard Mrs. WIN, e.
Hardwiek. MIRA. HardRick GA yester-
day had Lille Blackford, q resident OF
Union street, nesr Gayoso, arrested Oh
the charge OF being al. inmate OF a house
Of i'll fame, notorious lewdness, indecent
C jnduct, etc and a forfeit Of fifty dol
lars was put up at the station-house by
Ne. Hardwick for the appearance Of the
girl before the Recorder this morning
This forenoon neither the %prosscutrix
nor defendant appeared, aud the case
was continued over for trial. Mrs.
Hardwiok claims that the girl was intro.
duced to her house as a cousin of her
husband, and resided al her house for
some time, and tha. she treated her
as such with great kindness. A day
or two since she went to the resi-
dence of the girl on Union street,
and on gaining admittsnce said, why,
Lille, | thought you were my husbands
cousin" to which she replied, HI Is
full of such cousins" etc and then arrow
took place, for which Mrs. Hardwick was
arrested, fined Ind bound over TO keel
the peace. 1t is now understood that
there was some misunderstanding about
the whole affnir, aud all legal proceed
ings will be dropped. 1t was q tempest
in a teapot, Cor which, it is asserted, no.
body was to blame; at least, so it has
been reported at the station'house by the
parties most interested.

1t is a pity, with the thermome-
ter at ninety degrees in the shade,
that life in tents should not be more
general than it is among those
whose means and leisure enable
them to secure its advantages, No
doubt the practice has grown within
the last few years. None who are
familiar with the Thames can fail
to have observed amidst its quiet,
beautiful reaches dainty little taber-
nacles Of snowy canvas stretched
upon many a green spot along the
banks. About them and in their
neighborhood IS every sign Of COM
fort. The well appointed boat rides
at her painter "a few yerds off, COM
plete and finished, from the white
rudder lines to the dainty little
tenders that keep her yarnish from
the rough touch Of the lock side.
Without the fairy-like dwellings are
spread under the shade of over
hanging boughs, comfortable mat
tresses, each resting upon a
waterproof sheet, which effectually
prevents the absorption of moisture
from the ground. Suspended from
a tripod over a fire Of turf sticks,
the kettle sings cheerful invitation
to evening tea, while bottles Of
mineral water are left cooling in the
stream. Camping out has, in short.
become a recognized institution.
All who have enjoyed its pleasures
know how comfortable it is, and
what fresh life q week under canvas
seems always to impart.

In a late number of Fors Claw
gera, Mr.. Ruskin advises his girl
readers as fOllyws:
Dress as plainly as your parents
will allow you, but in bright colors
(f they become you) and in the
best materials-that is to say, in
those which wear longe,s. When
you are really in want of a new
dress, buy it Tor make it) in the
fashion; but never quit an old one
merely because it has become I'M
fashionable. And if the fashion be
costly you must not follow il. You
may wear broad stripes or narrow,
bright colors or dark, short petit
coats or long lin moderation), the
public wish you; but you must not
buy yards Of useless stuff to make
a knot or a hounce of, nor dras
them behind you over the ground.
And your walking dress must never
touch the ground at all. / nave
lost much Of the faith l once
had in the common : sense aud
even in the personal delicacy
Of the present race Of average
English women, by seeing how
they will allow their dresses to
sweep ne streets, as if it is the
fashion to be scavengers. If you
can afford it, get your dresses made
by a good dressmaker, with the
utmost attainable precision and
perfection; but let this good dress
maker be a poor person living in
the country; not a rich person
living in a large house in London.
Learn dressmnking yourself, with
pains and time, and use a part Of
every day in n~eedlework, making
as pretty dresses as you can for poor
people who have not time nor taste
to make them nicely for themselves
You are to show them in your own
wearing what is most right and
graceful, and to help them 10
choose what will be prettiest and
most becoming in their own sta
ton. If they see You never try to
