How Little We Know.

How little we know of each other:
We pass through the journey of life,
With its struggles, its fears, and temp
t~ations,
Its notwithstanding cares and its strife
We can only see things on the surface,
For few people glory in sin,
And al unrutfied face is no index
To the tumult that RACES within.
How little we know of each other:
The man who to-day passes by,
Elest with fortune and honor and
titles,
And holding his proud head on high,
May carry a dead secret with him,
Which makes of his bosom a hell,
And he, sooner or later a felon,
May wrltile IN the prisoners cell.
How little we know of each other;
That woma of fashion who sneers
At the poor girl, betrayed and aban-
doned,
And left to her sighs and her tears,
Nav, ere the sun rises tomorrow.
Have the mask rudely torn from her
face,
And sink from the heights Of her glory
TO the dark shades of shame and
disgrace.
How little we know of each other;
Of ourselves too little know
We are all weak when under tempta-
ton,
All subject to error and woe.
Then let blessed charity rule us,
Let US put away envy and spite
For the skeleton grim in our closet
May some day : be brought to the
light.

improvements in the Art Of Dress.

Great improvements have been made
lately in corsets. As the princess
dress now worn defines the hips as
plainly as the waist, all corsets have
been heightened both in the busks and
over the hips, where they fit as smooth
ly as a glove fits the hand. Stiff busts
formed by cross bones or by thick
cords stitched in are also liked, as thew
dispense with the pads worn by ladies
who have fiat chests. The steels or
busks are also made more flexible. and
may be bent into a circle without
breaking. There are also broad doub-
led steels for those who like wide
busks: these are very light, yet flexi-
Die.
A brand of corsets is distinguished
by having its steels covered with kid,
which makes them pleasantly soft
against the flesh. and keeps them from
being ruSted by moisture. Striped
coutille and the plain jean are the ma
terialS most used in white and pale
gray shades: there are also many high
coiored blue and scarlet corSets sold.
The Ventllatlng corSetS are made of
a lace-llke check goods as thin as can
vas grenadlne; this is cool and pleas
ant TOR summer wear. The upper and
lower sections around the bust and
hips are made of this thin material,
but the middle section that passes

waist. and be RS all the strain Of laciEg,

The troubles Of Mr.. and Mrs Ricl

The troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ards O.. Lawrence, Mass, with their
young sons French wife have come to
an end in a W. very satisfactory to
the parents. Willie Richards, a mere
boy, went to France, and there mar
ried, or was supposed TO have married,
a girl named Blanche Folliot. Though
much distressed upon hearing Of the
event, the parents consented to re-
celve Blanche as their sons wife. Re
peated and scandalous outbreaks at
length prompted them to legal steps
to get rid Of the Mr.
Richards, the father, communicated
through counsel with the Mayor Of the
borough in which the marriage was
alleged to have taken place. That
official denied that there had been anv
such marriage, denounced Blanche as
an adventures, and added that she
wOuld be liable to Imprisonment for
her part IN the affair should she re
turn TO France. Meantime Blanche
has departed from her alleged nus
bands home, and peace res gins in the
Richards household. All OF which
facts should be "a warning to young
Americans travelling abroad.

POETRY.
Scandal MOngerS.

Scandal Mongers.
Do YOU hear the scandal mongers
Passing by,
Breathing poison in a whisper
In a sigh:
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they 90,
Never noisy-gliding smoothly like
snake
Slipping here and slipping there.
Through the meadows fresh and fair.
Leaving subtle slime and poison in
their wake.
Saw We not the scandal monger
As she sat,
Beammg brightly meath the roses
In her hat
In her dainty gloves and dress,
Angel-like and nothing less,
Seemed she -casting smiles and pleas
ing words about.
Once she shrugged and shook her
head,
Raised her eyes and nothing said
When YOU spoke of friends, and yet
it left a doubt.
Did YOU hear the scandal monger
Through the music, rhythm, beauty.
Light and all
Moving here and moving there,
With a whisper light as air,
Casting shadows on a sister-womans
fame
Just a whisper, word or glance,
AS she floated through the dance:
And the world is busy with a spot
less am
You viii hear the scandal mongers
Everywhere,
Sometimes men, but often ONE
Young and fair,
Yet their tongues drop foulest slime,
And they spend their leisure time
Casting mud on those who climb by
work and worth,
Shun them, shun them, as you 60
Shun them, whether high or low,
They are but the cursed serpents of
the earth.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

There was an advance yesterday on the Produce
Exchange of two cents per bushel in No. red win
ter wheat for November delivery. This was caused
by the many warlike rumors received recently from
abroad The excitement in relation to the reported
corner in wheat by Wall street spectators has COM
pletely died out. prominent dealer gave II as his
opinion that those parties who had bought large
amount of wheat with the expectation that they
would realize considerable profit had found
ont that it a losing game and were
unloading rapidly possible. It was
simply a 'bull'' movement, which has caused
TO hold back their wheat for higher prices
and thereby injured the railroads and canals, and
thrown out of employment many workingmen. This
gentleman said there enough wheat on hand to
supply any legitimate demand. and the market here
could not be affected by any corner which might
possibly be established in Chicago Even IL there
happened TO BE- abroad 1t would have to last for
some time before there would be extraordinary de-
mand wheat from this market, the prices here
present higher than the quotations at Liver
pool and London. II is expected that in few days
prices will decline. and in that event Wall street
Spectators will lose considerable money.
