Romance and Reality,

He wanted her bnt she would not give
her consent until he had consulted her
parents. So he went into the room
where they were and modestly stated
the case .."
Sand you really think you love her
enough to marry herr" said the father,
after he had finished.
"Oh, yes, sir" said the youth in fer
vent eagerness, 81 love her with all my
soul. 1 love her better than I do nv
life. She is my guiding star, the wor-
SHIPPED object of my every thought every
hope, every aspiration" He stood there
with clasped hands, his face radiant with
the strength of his devotion. There
was a moment of pauseS and then the
mother softly asked
"What do you think of that, old
MANI"
"That sounds like business, old
woman" replied the satisfied father.
And so it was arranged that the daugh-
ter should accept her suitor.

The Winter Fashions for Ladies'.

Dress sleeves are made close at the
wrist.
Sleeves for outside garments are wide
or half wide.
Old fashioned knitted purses have be.
come fashionable.
There is no diminution in the demand
for colored hosiery.
Chatelaine pockets of velvet, silver
mounted, for shopping.
A greenish cream color will take the
lead among new shades.
Dresses are cut high on the shoulders
and very high in the neck.
Crinoline avoids all that is bouffant
Immediately below tho waist.
Solid colors are preferred to stripes in
both ladies' and ohildren's hose.
Corsages of all kinds show au unusual
number of perpendicular seams.
Catogan nets are in shades to match
the hair, also in all bright colors.
Great variety is observable in the
style OF trimming undergarments.
Necklaces of filiglee silver will be
popular to wear with dark dresses.
Combination costumes will be quite
as fashionable as they ever have been.
Unbleached stockings finished with
embroidery on the fronts and sides are
in favor.
Percale underwear is the great favor,
as it is fine and soft and wears and
washes well.
Evening gloves are worn very long,
requiring often ten or twelve buttons
and never less than six.
"Dog collar bands of feathers
clasped with the head of the bird, or
tied with ribbon, are introduced.
Many of the new basques are cut with
cores under the arms. By this new
style all basques and polonaises can be
fitted perfectly over the hips and the
waist is also heightened in effect. IN
stances of this fashion are seen il
the "Gwendolen polonaise, and the
" Leona," Mariana" "Daphne" and
" Elsina" basques.

In the forty years that the Merchants
Gargling Oil has been before the public,
thousands of patent mediciens have
been ushered into the market and retir-
ed, while this old remedy has held on
its way, increasing in popul rity with
each succeeding year. Merchants Garg-
ling Oil is known familiarly the whole
length and breadth of the land, and the
name of the secretary, Mr.. John Hodge,
of Lockport, has fame as wide as the
medicine he dispenses. We have no
data as to the number of bottles sent out
from the mandatory last year, but the
quantity must have been enormous.
The company distribute two millions of
almanacs and domestic recipe books an
nually, and when it is remembered that
these are given away, some idea of the
extent of the advertising enterprise may
be formed. A medicine that will stand
the test OF forty years, as the Merchants s
Garglipg Oil has done, needs no special
Endorsement at this late day.-Bufalo

What is Coming.

Some Of the toilets now in preparation
for Russia, America and England at one
OF the favorite establishments of foreign
ers in Paris, a correspondent says, are
elaborately and handsomely made, but
so ridiculous in proportion that an abso.
lutte and final climax has been reached,
and the caricatures of 1876 are now com
plete. A carriage toilet for prominent
London belle is of gray India silk, with
tunic polonaise. The skirt is ornament
ed with two hounces of the gray, and
separated by one of S. .ded bronze, as
slmllatlng in color with the bronze
leather trimming which edges the polo
nalse. Below this falls scalloped net
WORK OF bronze, edged with narrow
fringe, and outlined in the middle with
applique embroidery in steel color,
Whilst fchu of similar trimming has
the embroidered design in conformity to
the shape. Bronzs boots, fastened with
wrought steel buttons, and Marie Stuart
hat. The latter of gray silk will be
worn far back on the head, and is orna-
mented with short gray and bronze os-
trlch plumes, which are arranged to fall
over the depression in front. A ruche
OF tulle is placed under the rim, and a
profuse bunch of cardinal red roses fills
the left elevation over the temple, and a
blue bird is perched in the other. All
this toilet is artistically beautiful, until
the dragging process is commenced.
The figure becomes strictly statuesque
classical it is considered by some
but beyond the conception of good taste.
Inc extremity in delineating the figure
mas now been reached in complying
with foreign orders, and many cases
could be specified where demands are
made for the most ultra and conspicuous
styles, regardless of expense.

The Lead Product.

The lead product and consumption of
the United States are both rapidly iu-
creasing, while imports are decreasing.
In 1866 the product was IA, ,342 tons in
1875, $4,000 with imports in 1866 of
27,20O tons in 1875. 1000. The an
nual consumption of the United States
is about 10000 tons, from which it ap-
pears that slight increase of produc-
tion would give surplus for exporta-
ton. Spain and Great Britain are the
only countries which yield more lead
than the United States, their product
being $1,000 and $4,000 tons respec-
lively.

WHICH Is THE SAFEST "A gentle
man advertised for a coachman. Three
persons applied, and were admitted into
the parlOr. The road leading to the gen.
tleman's house went near to a danger
Gus precipice.
"How near the edge of that precipice
can you drive me, without any danger
of being upset ?" inquired the gentle
man of the first applicant.
"Within hands breadth" answered
the man.
"And bow near could you drive ?''
said the gentleman to the second.
"Withiu a hairs BREADTH" was the
reply.
The third man had taken his hat and
was leaving the room, supposing he had
no chance of competing with the other
two.
"Stop! stopI" said the gentleman;
''let us hear what you have got to say"
"Why, sir, l cannot compete with
either of these. If I were to drive you,
would keep as far off as l possibly
could"
"You are the man for me-" said the
gentleman, who engaged him at once.
The moral is plain. The moderation
man goes as near drunkenness in his
drinking as he dares, and is frequently
upset. The teetotaler keeps as far of
as he can, and is always safe.

Women and the Government.

Mrs. Duniway must have succeeded
in removing some of the objections to
equal justice to women, Thursday even
ing, when she supported the cause with
such invincible arguments aud so much
apparent candor and earnestness as she
did on that occasion; but then, nine
tenths of the people are already con-
vinced of the right of women to an
equal voice on questions affecting the
common veal, but are restrained from
its advocacy by doubt of the expedi-
ency, or because they are bound by that
conservative instinct which opposes any
innovation of time-hOnOred custom. 1t
is to remove these cobwebs from the
intellect that Mrs. d. is engaged in her
fe-mission, and that she is gradually
but surely accomplishing her work, is
manifest by the universal feeling of re-
spect entertained for her personally, as
well as the federation for doctrines that
few years ago were received only with
contempt and derision. She seems to
be just the woman for the duties of the
hour; earnest, eloquent, self-reliant,
with an indomitable will-pOwer which
rises superior to all obstacles. She lee
lures again this Saturday evening, in
the same hall, when she will relate the
personal experiences which led her to
become an advocate of human rights, a
theme which will doubtless prove of
surprising interest. - Washington Stand

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cGrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny TO
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY TO
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
i'm its requirements, and is adhered TO with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by a comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. ROwell & Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. %
