HAROLD AND MILL1CENr MORTIMER
History of the Corset.
London City Journal.

LONDON CITY journal.
The corset had its origin in Italv.
and introduced from that country into
France by Catherine de Medicis. Marv
Stuart and Diana Poiters did not, how
ever, follow the fashion. but it was ad-
mitted by all the ladies of the French
court that is was indispensable to the
beauty of the female figure, and was
therefore. adopted by them. The corset
was in the days in its infancy. and it
assumed more of the rough character of
knights cuirass. The frame was entirely
OF iron, and the velvet which decorated
the exterior hid frightfui and cumber-
some machine. This state of things, so
detrimental to health, and the cause of
so much personal inconvenience, not to
say torture, could not last long, and the
artisans of those days contrived to give
more pliability and lghtness to the met
al, and prepared the way by degrees for
whalebone. But, as reforms are ALWAYS
slow, the cod iron continued to clasp the
warm hearts of the fair wearers for long
time in its embrace. The corset found
favor in the eyes Of Louis XIV. In the
following reign the corset was threatened
with Punishment from the toilet. FASH
ion took rural and simple turn, and was
almost guided by the taste of Boucher.
il whose pictures many of the court celeb
rites figure as shepherds and shep-
herdesses. But the painter departed, and
fashion returned to the prim eccentricities
OF the former times. During the reyolu-
ton the corsets were again forgotten. and
under the directory it was completely
interdicted by the fashionable world.
The bellies of the day took classic turn.

The empire dethroned the classic fashion.
out without taking the corset in favor
high waists were in high favor, and la

verse OF prudery. With the fall of the
empire tell also the waist, and then came
also' as a necessity, the return to the

A lad named Casabianca stood on the
burning deck of the Orient after every

doubtless be surprised to hear it, but
though the flames rolled on, some of
them scooting up the mainmast as a re-
pairer would scoot up telegraph pole,
some performing monkeyshines on the
yardarm, others licking the name off the
sides of the vessel, etc. Notwithstand-

out of this pretty quick I'll be done my
self, and done brown, too; and don't you
forget it."
You see he was ignorant of the fact
that the chieftain lay unconscious of his

The Steam Engine.

The Marquis of Worcester is common
ly regarded as the inventor of the steam
engine, but, perhaps, the most that can
be justly said is. that he was the first per-
son that imagined the possibility of con-
structing such machine. The individu-
al who actually first constructed an engine
for raising water by the alternate force
and condensation Of steam, was Captain
Savary, who published an account Of his
invention in small tract, called the
"Miner's," Friend" In 17O5, Newcomer
obtained a patent for an improved steam
engine; and in 1717 Henry Beighton
made some further Improvements, one of
which is generally allowed to have been
that of causing the steam-cock to be
opened and shut by the machinery; a
man having been previously employed
for the express purpose. A few other
Improvements were made by different
persons, but they did not effect the gen.
eral action of the engine; and, although
defects in its power had been noticed,
their cause was unknown till 1865, when
happily for the prosperity Of the arts and
manufactures Of Britain, the subject eD-
gagged the ingenuity of Mr.. Watt. The
model of a Newcomers engine fell into
his hands to be repaired, and in this he
presently observed the immense loss of
steam occasioned by its admission into the
cylinder, just cooled for condensation;
indeed, he went so far a. to ascertain by
experiment that half the steam of the
boiler was thus lost. But the circum-
stance that excited his greatest surprise
was, that the injection water gained in
finitely more heat than if quantity of
boiling water, equal to that required to
form the steam, had been added to it..
In this dilemma, he is understood to
have consulted the celebrated DR.. Black,
whose discoveries on the subject of heat
were then the theme of general wonder;
and from him he obtained such an expla-
nation Of the difficulty as enabled him
so to alter the construction of the engine
that with rather less than one third OF the
quantity of steam it could produce the
| same power as one of equal dimensions on
Newcomers plan.
But great as was this improvement, it
formed but a small part Of the successful
achievements of Mr.. Watt in this depart
ment Of mechanics. The application and
utility OF the engine he extended in va
rlous ways; and at last arrived at that
climax of improvement which consisted
in making the steam serve to elevate as
we'll as to depress the piston. An engine

FATE.
A bright little girl,
Giving twirl
On her skate.
A great bearded man
Right into her ran,
Was it fate?

It let them both in;
He was stout,
He climbed up on the ice
And-wasn't it nice?
Pulled her out.

She came with q smile;
On his arm:
Now she skates little dear!
And feels, as he's nexr,
No alarm.

ALMOST. A FIRE.-Last Thursday
morning at an early hour there came
near beinga disastrous conflagration
in the store of Aessrs. Smith s. Elson,
in Phenjx Block. Mr.. Isaac w. Smith,
of Deerfield, was stopping over night
with his brother on his return from
Cleveland, and in the morning arose
and went to the store to look at some
carpets. In going up stairs to the car
pet room he stepped on parlor match
igniting it and a spark therefrom
lighted in lot of cotton batting piled
upon the top of the shelving of the
grocery department, setting it almost
instantly in blaze. Mr.. Smith, with
the assistance OF Mr.. Warner, succeed
ed in throwing the burning batting
ont of the building before the fire had
communicated with any other goods
or the woodwork, but in doing SO had
their hands pretty badly scorched.
Nearly two bales of batting were
destroyed.

Mr.. EDITOR me to give
notice to the citizens of Ravenna and
vicinity, and especially to that portion
of them who have been and are even
now identified with the Lutheran
Church, that, on the 9th of November
number of Lutherans met in the
school house on Lincoln Avenue, and
organized congregation of thirty-two
members, and elected church officers,
in connection with the general Synod
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church,
after which we appointed to meet
again, at Citizens Hall, on Sabbath,
the 10th inst, at 2 o'clock p. M, for
religious service, the installment of
officers and the reception of new MEM
bers. We are glad and rejoice that at
last the Lutheran Church, the oldest
child of the Reformation, has also a
representation in Ravenna. We shall
continue to meet at Citizens Hall once
every Sabbath, either in the forenoon
or afternoon until we can make differ
ent arrangements. We feel as though
we might possibly look forward with
flatteringi And encouraging prospects
in view of the Church Of our fathers,
when we shall convene in our own
and be seated under our own
vine and fig tree, no one daring to mo-
lest. We kindly invite all lovers of
Jesus, and particularly those who are
to meet with us and by
their presence encourage us in this
glorious enterprise to save souls.

AS CHRISTMAS DAY comes this year
upon Thursday, the following quota.
ton from an ancient MSS. in the Brit
ish Museum is pertinent for publica-
ton at the outset of winter as a proph.
ecy Of coming events the approaching
year:
If Xmas day on Thursday be,
A windy winter ye shall see;
Windy weather in each week,
And hard tempests, strong and thick !;
The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beast shall multiply;
That year is good for lands to till:
Kings and princes shall die by skill:
If child bOru that dav shall be,
1t shall happen right well for he.
OF deeds he shall be good and stable,
Wise of speech and reasonable.
Whose that day goes thieving about,
He shall be punished without doubt;
And if sickness that day betide,
1t shall quickly from thee glide.
