The Question OF Dress.


A very old and much DISPUTED question in
some ways--but these are not the ways in
which we are going to look at it, We are
not disposed to urge the necessity of follow
ing the fashion, or the duty of adopting
hygienic rules of dress. We will not inyeigh
against sweeping skirts or high heels. We
only wish to urge upon all women the obi.
cation of being always becomingly dressed
at home as well as abroad. Do try to look
YOUR best, ought not to be a disagreeable
maxim; vet one sometimes imagines it must
be, seeing how many women slight it. Even
economy. the pressure of hard times, need
not oblige a woman 10 make a FRIGHT of her
self at home. A bit of lace, a pretty, bright
ribbon. are cheap and easy to get. and what
a difference they make. Or spotless linen
collars and cuffs always lend freshness TO
even the plainest dress, and are always in
fashion besides. Above all. don't keep your
friends waiting when they call on YOU, while
Won ay around to make Yourself presentable.
Better be neatly and properly attired before

"DOe the Nexte Thynge.v

On the wall of an old English parsonage
is engraven, in old Saxon letters sunk in
the granite, the motto "Doe the Nexte
Thynge." Like many other groupings of
plain words, it has wrapped up in its quaint
simplicity a treasure of significance. For
how many doubts would be solved, how
many cares would be ightened, how effect
ually the problem of life would be wrought
out, if instead of halting in the way, or
frettiug at visionary difficulties to come, we
should each day and hour Just go on to do
the next thing. The word may have two
meanings. If that which we are trying to
do is plainly impossible, pass on to do tl.-,
next duty that offers If what we have as.
pired to as the best is plainly not at once to
be reached, go on to do the next best. To
do the next thing freely and heartily we
must let 60 the last, draw off the eyes from
the past. This was Paul's method in that
nightly energetic life of his The last
thing may have been a failure. Yod can
not afford to let it discourage you-the next
thing may be success or the last thing
may have been a victory-don't rest on your
laurels. The next thing may be grander
triumph at least, it may be more needful
to be done. Do it. To do the next thing,
we must not be too anxious about results.
Act with what light you have and what
strength you have at the time and leave re-
suits with God. If the path of duty leads
through stone wall, or a solid phalanx of
bristling difficulties, take the next step go
at it. Your going through is Gods business,
not yours. The doing the next thing will
prove,a medicine for heavy care and anxiety
for it is not the things we do that weary and
wear us, but the fretting over things left un-
done in the past, and things we want to do,
and cannot, in the future. Do not leave
your work half finished Do the next thing
necessary to mature and the next thing es.
sental to complete it, Do it patiently, rev.
erently, trustfully, and with thy might.
" BE earnest
DO what thou dost as if the stake were heaven,
And that thy last deed ere the judgment day"

Winter sleeps with his fathers. Newly-wed,
Reigns a consummate queen Of grace instead.
Now Spring, fair goddess. with gay step doth press
The snow appareed earth. At her caress,
And wooing winds, and soft enamoring nay,
The Icy bracelet Of dead Winters arm gives way
And earth Is free. The crested mountan-nrs,
Crclet unique-the necklace which shswears,
With splre-gems, flashing skywsrd, now invest,
Like glitterng emeralds. her spotless breast
The creamy lace, embroidering forest glades
Is tattered into thousand frosty shreds,
Losing It's magic pattern in the sun;
And changed designs, fantastic, are begun.
The tabled Aries, from his winter sleep
Starts in the suns path in the heavenly steep.
Imparts his look Of love. serene with peace.
And gently shakes his lnowy-whiened fleece.

His matchless spring-like toilet doth appear.
His dripping locks all fringed with beads Of gold
Shaped In the dew's elaborate, perfect mould.
Melted at moons high hour Of glowing light
Frozen by the congealing breath Of night,
Now rears aloft his shining ivory horn,
AT dawn Of each respondent crimson morn,
And blandly smiles upon all mortal docks,
At Soils glad coming TO the Equinox.
When verna showers and sweetest breath of balm.
Our senses ravish, and our spirits charm
