DREss.-It is not well to devote too
much time to the subject of dress. But
the art of dress is an essential part OF
the ladies. Perfect propriety of dress
on all occasions is in itself an evidence
of high cultivation and a capacity
which very few people possess. This
requires that just consideration should
be given to the circumstances and con-
ditions of others. This is the first rule OF
propriety; lady should never disre-
gard it. The art of dress for young
lady entering society is not trivial
subject. 1t has much to do with the
exhibition of character and success in
life. There are few questions more
frequently asked and none more diff
cult to answer than those which refer
TO this subject. 1t has received the
attention of the best minds in all coun-
tries, aud has much to do with per-
sonal comfort and the elegance of so.
ciety.

A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. H. X. STEVENS.
Dear Sir,-Though a stranger, l want to inform
yoa what YEGRTINE has done for me.
Last Christmas Serofuia made its appearance in
my system,-large running ulcers appearing me- as
follows: enc on each of my arms my thigh,
which extended to the seat one on my head, which
ate into the skull-bone; one my left leg, which
became SO bad that two physicians TO amputate
the limb, though upon consultat concluded not to
do so, as my whole body was full of scrofua they
deemed 1t advisable to cut the sore which was pain
full beyond description, and there quart mat
ter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave up to die, and said they
could do more for me. Roth of my legs were
drawn up to my seat, and it thought if did get
up again would be cripple for life.
When in this condition / saw VEGETINE advertised,
and commenced taking it in March, and following on
with it until had used sixteen bottles; and this
morning am going to pillow cor n, u well man, All
my townsmen say it is miracle to see round
walking and working
In conclusion will add, when was enduring such
suffering from that dreadful disease, Ser0fula, /
prayed to the Lord above to take out of this
world but as VEGErINR has restored to the bles-
sings of health, desire than ever to live that
may be of some seryice to my fellow and
know of no better way to aid suffering humanity
than to enclose you this statement of my with
an earnest hope that you will publish it, and it will
afford me pleasure TO reply to any communication
which may receive therefrom.
am, sir, worry respectfully,

~ Read This, Young Lady.

From the Pittsburgh Commercial.
We heard very pretty incident the
other day, which we cannot help re-
lating. A young lady from the South,
IL seems, was wooed and won by a
youthful physician residing in Califor
MIA. When the engagement was
made the doctor was rich, having
been very successful at San Francisco
II had not existed six months, how
ever, when by an unfortunate engage
ment he lost his entire cheap" This
event came upon him it should be add
ed, jdst as he was about to claim his
bride. What does he do? Why, like
an honorable and chivalrous young
fellow az he is, he sits down and
writes the lady every particular OF the
unhappy turn which has taken place
in his fortunes, assuring her that if
the fact produced any change in her
feelings towards him, she is released
from every promise she has made
him. And what does the dear, good
girl? Why she takes lump of pure
gold which her lover had sent her in
his prosperity as keepsake, and hav-
ing it manufactured into a ring, for
warded it with the following Bible in
scription engraved in distinct charac-
tiers on the outside "Entreat me not
10 follow thee, or to return from fol-
lowing after thee; for whittier thou 60
est will 60, aud whittier thou lodg-
est will | lodge; thy people will be
my people and thy God my God
where thou diest will ] die, and there
will be buried the Lord do so to
me, and more also, if aught but death
part me and thee" The lover idol
lied his sweetheart more than ever
when he received this precious evil
dence of her devotion to him both in
storm aud sunshine. We may add
that fortune soon again smiled upon
the young physician, and that he sub
sequently returned to the North TO
we'd the sweet girl he loved, and who
loved him with such undYing affection.
Young ladiea who read the Bible as
closely as the heroine OF this incident
seems to have done are pretty sure to
make good sweethearts and better
wives
