Ruskps Advice to Girls about Dress,

Dress as plainly as your parents will
allow you, but in bright cOlors (if they
become you), and in the best materials
that is to say, in those which will wear
the longest. When you are really in
want of new dress, buy it (or make it)
in the fashion, but never quit an old
one merely because it has become un-
fashionable. And 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 modera-
tion), as the public wish you; but you
must not buy yards of useless stuff to
make a knot or founces of, nor drag them
behind you over the ground, and your
walking dress must never touch the
ground at all. have lost much of the
faith ! once had in the common sense,
and even in the personal delicacy OF the

who have not the time or taste to make
them nicely for themselves. You are to
show them in your own wearing what is
most right and graceful, and help them
to choose what will be prettiest and most
becoming to their own station.

Prof. Newcombe, of the national OBJ
servatory, has had his best observers en-
gagged all day in watching for the transit OF
Vulcan, which, according to the theory of
Leverier, was to have occurred to-day. The
