Gentlemen's Wedding Costume.

THE custom of being married during
the day, as in England, where the GER
emony can only take place in the Es-
tablished Church before twelve o clock
noon, grows in favor, and is becoming
general in the most fashionable circles.
To wear full evening dress suit on
the occasion is, therefore, no longer
en- regle. The strictly correct costume
is a medium shade of blue fine wOrsted
cloth double breasted frock coat, worn
buttoned, white waistcoat to show
little above the coat, and light, stone
cOlOred trousers. The coat may either
be finished in neat, quiet style, or for
smarter looking garment, with silk
breast-facing and braided, and the
waistcoat either single or double
breasted. The scarf should be plain,
rich blue satin, although a slight fig
ure is not Objectionable, and gloves of
a light French gray or stone color. For
those merely attending the ceremony a
black frock, of fine diagonal cloth,
made in the prevailing style, may be
substituted, with trousers from mod
erately light colored goods of quiet
mixture or neat figure. When the
ceremony does take place in the even
ing, full dress only is worn, the cos
tune of the bridegroom being distin-
guished by a white Marseilles dress
vest. The others may wear black or
white vest at option. While plain
white lawn tie is always correct for
full dress, it is especially proper and
in good taste at a wedding. Silk or
satin ties are to be avoided. The
gloves for evening wear should be pale
lavender. Journal.

POlOnaises, Basques, Etc.

The popular taste still clings to pol
onaises and basques, and what the
reader asks is to be advised of new de-
tails in these garments. NothWlth-
standing the presence of figured and
of colored goods, black polonaises OF
rough-fnished cameps-hair, or OF
smooth black cashmere, are among the
favorite garments at the most excll-
siye modistes', and these are gwen an
air of freshness by the new way IN
which the cardinal faille is introduced
or the lace garniture is put on. AS we
have already indicated, the square
plastron promises to supersede the
vest and all other trimmings for the
fronts of both basques and polonalses.
Now this plastron of cardinal SILK IS
put in black cashmere polonalses, ana
the cashmere is simply piped around IL
and turned down en- reoers. The car
dinal also appears in the sash behind
and as facing of the flaring cuff. Black
bows lined with cardinal are down the
front, and conceal the over-much req
of the plastron. Brocade or velvet
plastrons, or those of contrasting
color, appear on basques and on
princesse dresses.
Another pretty fancy about the
neck of costumes, especially OF polo
naises and mantles, is that OF making
a pleated scarf and sailor loops OF the
black cashmere and lining it with car
dinal faille. In the first place tne
nolonaise is provided with the high
Medicis collar, which is bias band an

granted that one person in every five
thousand in the Centennial is the pos
SCISSOR of glass eye, the number thus
far would amount to an army of about
one thousand.
The eyes on exhibition are gotten up
in neat style, and could hardly be dis
tinguished from the original when
placed in the socket, were it not that
they keep up continual stare. They
are made of light durable material,
and considerable skill has been exem-
plified in their preparation. Eyes are
divided into quite number of class
es, and among them are laughing eyes.
These generally consist of light-blue
iris with radiating white lines, and
the iris seems to dance around in the
aqueous fluid. Then there are Ian
guid eyes, piercing eyes, dull, heavy
looking eyes and bright, sparkling eyes,
all of WHICH have their counterpart in
the human race.
AS mere piece of mechanism, the
world nowhere furnishes such a beau
tiful and complex piece of machinery
i'll so small space as the human eye,
and as an optical instrument it is per-
feet beyond imitation. 1t is bad
enough when an individual loses both
of these instruments; but there is
comfort in the fact, that when one is
gone, the hand of the optician has
made another, which, while it cannot
give sight, yet it can help to restore
marred beauty.--Philadelphia Letter. |

Antiquity and Durability OF
Brick.

THE palaces of CrGsus, Mausoleus
and Attalus, and other extremely an
cient buildings, were constructed of
hard-burnt red brick. AT the decline
of the Roman Empire brick-making
fell, to great extent, into disuse, and
was revived again by the Italians after
a lapse of some centuries. The
medieval, secular and ecclesiastical
architecture of Italy abounds with
fine examples of brick and terra-cotta
work, and decorations of great beauty
have been executed in those materials.
Brick-making arrived at its greatest
perfection in the reign of Henry Will,
in England, and some of the finest
known specimens of ornamental brick
work constructed in that reign are
still the subject of admiration, and
are well preserved from decay. On
rebuilding London after the great fire
in 1866, brick was the material univer-
sally adopted for the new erections,
and laws regulating the sizes, thick
ness of wall and projections were at
that time made and enforced for the
better protection of the community.
Much of the brick work remaining in
London in buildings erected in the lat
ter part of the seventeenth century
and beginning of the eighteenth is ad-
mirably executed and in good preser-
walton.

ALL MY LIFE LONG.

ALL my life long have my steps been attended
Surely by One who regarded my ways;
Tenderly watched over, sweetly befriended,
Blessings have followed my nights and my
days.
Tears have been quenChed in the sunshine Of
gladness,
Anthems of sorrow been turned into song,
Angels have guarded the gateways of sadness,
Summer and winter-yea, ali my life long!
All in the dark would be, and uncertain
Whittier to go, but for One at my side
Who from the future removes the dim curtain,
Seeing the glory to mortuls denied
No other friend could so patiently lead me;
No other friend prove so faithful and strong;
With angels food lie has promised to feed ne,
Who has befriended me all my life long.
lie will not weary-Oh, blessed assurance,
Infinite love will the finite outlast
But for my Heavenly Fathers assurance
Into the depths Of despair were cast
This is my star in u midnight of sorrow,
This is my refuge my strength, and my song;
Earth is to-day, but there's heaven tomorrow,
And Jesus to be with me all my life long!

+" SHE SMILED ON ME-"

MAUD's worn-out soles let in the cold;
Maud's little arms can scarcely hold
The strips of board with purpling veins they reae
around;
Some frosty steps invite to rest,
Maud draws the rags across her breast,
And there is found
Her great brown eyes with silken fringe,
Border her cheeks of sunburnt tinge
A true disciple passing by looked down snt
smiled;
Then turned again, with kind intent,
And wealth of tender smiles she bent
Upon the child;
And then a sweet and tender word
Maud flies away, like uncaged bird,
Through cluttered streets and up the narrow
creaking stairs
Along the alleys musty gloom,
To an ungarnished attic room,
Her burden bears,
And throws it down upon the floor
Her eager words like rain-drops pour
Around the hungering bed: This is the way, you
see;
I'd just picked up those strips of wood,
And stopped to rest, when there she stood,
And smiled oHme.
"A lady just like you, mamms,
Before we lost our dear papa,
When we had coal and milk and crisp brown toast
for tea.

But still she looked on me and smiled
On even me-"
oh, ye whose wine and milk are poured
From rosc-tint cups; whose chambers hoard
Parlsian shades more royal than the purpled king,
Speak to the child kindly word,
Lest your own pleadings be unheard
Where angels sing.

Touching Incident.

ONE consistent. earnest follower of
Christ in Il family, a school, or a COM
munity, is a continual blessing. The
| influence and example of such pres
ence, though they may not always win
great numbers to good, will prevent
many from worse evil.
Among the pupils of fashionable
! female bOarding-schoOl there was one
Christian girl. OF all the noble work
she did there in her qHiet way, and all
the results of her fidelity and pleasant
usefulness, Heaven alone keeps the
record. We only know that she was
instrumental in turning Il single class
mate, a gay young lady, from one of
frivolous pleasure to II life of earnest
religious devotion.
That young lady, when her school
days were over, went back to home
where she was beloved and indulged,
but where not member of the family
felt the least religious sympathy with
her, or understood at all the new de-
votiOn and the noblermotives that con-
trolled her.
wiIntf he tparG4RseRtu tA,.the. destiny
to become a leader in gay circles,
and shine a star in fashionable society
she now found her greatest delight
in helping the unhappy, and in unset
fish labOrs for such as poverty and sin
had shut up in darkness.
She asked her old Sunday school
Superintendent to give her class to
teach, but he had not heard of the
change in her, and treated the appli-
cation of the once trihing girl as an
irreverent jest.
The next Sabbath she led into the
school a poor little street boy, and
gained permission to begin class by
herself. That boy was delighted with
his new privilege, became warmly at
tached to his teacher, and rapidly
drank in the truths he heard.
But his parents were angry that he
attended the Sunday School, and his
father whipped him to make him stay
away. Finding that he must get his
Sunday teaching at such price, with
pathetic quaintness, the little fellow
begged to know if he could not be al
| lowed to take the whipping Sabbath
morning, and then go to school after
wards, and not have it to think of.
At this singular putting of the case,
| the father relented little, and instead
of threatening, promised him a reward
| if he would attend the Sunday School
no more. He was required to peddle
apples all the week. He should have
the money for all he sold on Saturday
afternoons.
Hoping for no better terms from his
father, the boy now undertook 10
make terms with his teacher. His
time was his own (conditi'nally) ON
Saturday afternoons. He asked the
Young lady if he might come to her
then and be taught, instead of on Sum
DAYS. She willingly consented, anu
this arrangement continued for some
time, to the profit and pleasure of both.
Finally a terrible accident happened
to the little boy He was at the depot
one day supplying apple, through the
car windows to the passengers ON
train, when his foot slipped as the cars
started forward, and he fell under the
wheels, and had both his legs cut OH.
"Shall 1 live to get home?" he whis-
pered to the surgeon who attended him.
"No, my poor lad, you are dying
now"
"Then tell 'em that 1 died Chris
tian," and he expired Youths Com

Something About Glass Eyes.

A NOVEL exhibit in the German sec
ton of the Exposition Main Building
is large collection of artificial eyes,
representing all sizes and shades, from
the pale blue to the black and gray. A
careful examination fails to discover
any that are green, thus setting atrest
forever the conundrum: "Do you see
any green in my eye?' For it follows
if there are any green eyes among the
people they would have found their
counterpart in the artificial. Judging
from the large stock of eyes on exhi-
bition, the business must be a good
one in the old world. Taking it for

long loops reaching toward the side
Five pleats hold the scarf around the

another collar, which is confined to
the back of the garment and is two
inches high. This neck gear requires
to be made with exquisite care, or else
II Will be too bulky for grace, making
the neck look thick; when finished
with French taste and skill, it is one
OF the prettiest of the small details of
the toilet, giving the high trimming
about the throat which is now de
Tigueur.
An old caprice about polonaises is
that of tufting" the skirt in front
and on the sides. This is done by
catching up the skirt with round knots
at wide intervals, in diamond shape.
Polonaises with basque fronts are
shown, but are not liked so we'll as
with waist and skirt in one. BASQUE
backs are not objected to, but the Mar
guerlte back with three middle seams
Is most used. Ladies must reconcile
themselves to having but one dart in
the front of polonaises, as two darts
take away from the plain effect now
required; and the longer seam, placed
further back, serves the purpose of a
second dart, does not add any fullness
across the stomach, and also serves in
stead of long side seam, which is now
only found in old-fashioned patterns.
The third side form which is shown in
the backs of some new garments is OBJ
and those with three seams
in the middle are liked even better than
those with five.
The new square backs of basuues
lre in keeping with the square plas-
IRONS. They are made very short on
he hips, and rounded longer in front,
The three middle seams begin in the
pack of the neck, and extend below
he waist line-with whalebones all
he way-where they are met by a |
ong-looped bow, and sometimes added
which is laid away out of |
light i'll fiat pleats. Frequently the
,Wo middle forms are of velvet or |
'rocade like the plastron, while the |
est of the basque is of gros grain. 1t |
S not unusual to see the back of the |
'asque extend half yard below the
waist, or even more. When no full |
less is added, lengthwise flaps are set |
N in two of the seams, precisely like |
hose on gentlemen's coats. The new
st sleeves have flaring cuffs, turned
own toward the wrist, with pleatings
n the outer seam, held by a buttoned
