love of you, fill her above the brim with
love of herself; all that runs over will
be yours.-Colton.

irresistible meets the immovable, and
every law of nature is broken or per-
yerted.
QUILTED satin petticoats will be much

THE sea-otter is so deeply imbued with
the fear of man that all attempts to keep
it alive after its capture have failed, as
it perishes by self-imposed starvation,
all through its unconquerable fear of
man. Oh, woman! woman! how deeply
and strongly you do not remind rs of
the sea-otter.
MY FRIEND have you a sulking wife?
Don't go and worry on it,
But try and use diplomacy,
'Tis best-depend upon it.
Don't beg and coax don't go and write
A poem a sonnet,
No-rouse her dropping spirits with
A bran-new winter bonnet.

ENGLISH hats for ordinary wear are
very much liked. This fashion of cha
peau is designed for comfort; front
pieces project over the eyes, thereby
protecting them from wind; the garni-
lures are simple, and all brilliant orna
ments are absent. Plumes, flowers and
ribbons are used.

hair is regulated by the size of her
fathers pocket-book. If the latter be

bly, sick.
ST. LOUIS Journal: All women play
| cards alike. Watch woman at game
of whist and you'll get pretty correct
idea of how all women play whist: La
me, Henry, is it my play? Let me see
second hand low-that's the first time
around of that suit, amt it? Well, Pll
| play-no, I hardly think I will-now

| A NEW woman saint has been canon
lied by the Roman Church, under the
name of St. Mary of the Incarnation.
| She was a French woman, but came to
America as a missionary, and was the
first to carry the Gospel to the Huron
Indians. She died in 1871, at Ursuline
Convent, in Quebec, leaving behind he1
a precious memory and many writings
Steps for her canonization were taken
two years ago, and her case was sub
mitted for trial before the congregation
of Sacred Rites. All the evidence was
so strong in her favor, that Father
Laurent Salvati, who appeared as attor
ney for the devil, threw up his brief
and consented to her canonization. St
Mary of the Incarnation is the seconc
saint canonized from America.

that, but in the difference between wives
