Jew gray gloves are blue tinted.

New gray gloves are blue tinted.
Plain velvet cloaks will again be worn.
Colored street wraps are again fashionable.
Undressed kid gloves retain their popularity.
Large and small bonnets are equally fash
ionable.
Chemsettes and inside kerchieRs are again 10
vogue.
Many walking costumes are made with a
Jacket bodice.
There Is no absolute rule about any detail of
the toilet this season.
Crsam-colored silk net, polka dott ed and
washable, is Eold for mack scxrfe.
Both very light colorsd and very dark cos
tunes for street wear are in vogue.
White felt and plush hats and bonnets con-
tinue to be the favorte opera and theatre
chdpeduI
The tendency OF the couture at the moment
is towards classic simplicity aud old Greek
ideas.
Medium and dark shades Of kid gloves will
be more worn for full dress than for many sea
SONS past.
Some foreign fashion journals say that dress
es with but one skirt will certainly be worn this
winter in heavy materials.
New kid gloves show deep garnet or ruby
shades, seal brown, navy blue, blue gray, olive,
invisible green, and all the mastic and old gold
tones OF color.
The etyles the coming season are rich, pleas
ing and varied to degree exceeding that of
many past years. The revival OF changeable
or shot silks, satins and velvets, brocades and
damasses, the introduction OF gold and silver
threads into many Of the richest dress goods,
and the revived form IN which cut jet and varie-
gated beads have been reproduced, render fash

The modistes and mlincrs have caught the
artistic spirit, and have made admirable use Of
these new fabrics in the creation OF rarely
beautiful costumes, wraps, bonn cts, hats, and
accessories Of the toilet.
While dressy and elaborate bonnets and hats
are worn for ceremonlous occasions. in full
toilet, the simplest kind of head gear-felts,
Derbys, and equestriennes-are worn by young
ladies' or all ordinary occasions, with little or
no trimming on them, while their msmmas
wear plain felt bonnets, trimmed only with
plain satin ribbon, or bands Of plain silk OF
satin, and but ono modest wing, or perhaps
two ostrich tips.

Harper's Magazine for December is a very
beautiful and interesting number. 1t opens
with an entertaining article entitled The For
tunes Of the Bonspsrtes, illustrated with SIX
teen fine portraits OF the most prominent mem
bers OF the Bonaparte family. Sea-Drift fro m
New England Port contains some very novel
and curious information respecting New Lon
don society I hundred year ago. Miss J. l.
Cloud continues her picturesque description of
Irish scenery and character in the Connemara
Hills, accompanied by some quaint pencil
sketches. Ernest Ingersoll contributes Q paper
on Atlantis, Georgia, with some excellent pict-
ures. The Palestine OF To-day, by DIR. Hurst,
is illustrated with engravings from the Har-
per's new edition OF DIR. Thomson's The Land
and The Book. Miss Frystt describes tho New
York Cooking School, Miss Curtis con trlbutng
six illustrations. Blossoms is the title Of an
exquisite little poem by Philip o. Sullivan, IL
lustrated by Miss Oakley. The ballad Of Whit
tington-a facsimile OF the British Museum
MSS given, with five illustrations by Abbey
Longfellow contributes poem OF curious in
terest, the subject of which is an iron pen (pre-
sented to the poet by q lady in Msino) made
from fetter of Downward the prisoner OF
Chillon--the handle Of wood from the frgatc
Constitution aud bound with q circlet OF

ORITUFR II.

Died, on the morning OF November 10th, at
the home Of Edward Modem, four miles west
Of Paw Paw, Anna Lake, aged sixteen years
and seven months.
A little more than sixteen years ago the
mother OF the deceased came to her mothers
home to die, leaving the baby Auna with an
, older brother to the care and keeping OF that
mother. Faithfully, sacredly, have both Father
and Mother Modem kept the charge intrusted
10 them, guarding the little one with the ten
derest care, dreading, lest the disease that hur-
ried the mother 10 the grave should cling to
the child. Bat as the years went By, and she
lived and seemed to grow strong, they took
courage, hoping their fears were groundess,
but when, last spring, the warning cough sound
cd IN their ears, they were quick TO take alarm,
and fastened away farther north, hoping that
she might gain strength and health by the
change. But the hope was not realized-the
chills and fever clung to her, and in short
time they returned to their home TO settle
down and face the dread fact which grew more
and more apparent each day, that Anna must
die. The truth so plain to others did not dis
turb the heart OF the young girl, for, with the
hope so bright in every young life, she lived
on, unconscious OF her condition, wondering
meanwhile at the sad faces about her, and plan
ming for the future, and especially for the win
ter term Of school. How could they break the
sad news to her? Sadly the mother wept and
prayed for courage 10 undeceive her, and
strength came; and sitting by her side she told
~ hat
glory OF early piety shone out in it's full radi-
ance. Faith triumphed, and she said, "Tm
not afraid to die" Then tho dear Bible on
which the mother had leaned as she entered
the dark valley became the daughters solace,
and underneath her she felt the arms OF her
mothers God. Surely swiftly, consumption
did it's work, and when the bell rang for school
on the first morning OF its winter term, the sad
news passed from lip TO lip, 8 Anna is dead
Study was impossible, 80 they thought TO calm
their grief by works Of love for the dear dead
schoollnGte. They brought the evergreen, myr-
tie and flowers and decorated the walls with
pictures, ornamenting the school-room as for a
welcome guest; and all the while their hearts
were aching for a glimpse of the LOVING laugh
lpS race tnat WOulu meet tuem no more. mus
mid flowers and tears we bore her TO the grave
old and young sorrowing together at the loss
Of one 80 loved and lovngI
She leaves an only brother, whose strong
arms and loving heart will sadly miss tie pre-
cious burden they have held go carefully. Our
tears fell with his above the coffin, our hearts
acbed with the aged father and mother as we
thought Of the lonely days to come, yet we
clung to the sweet hope,
Our dead shall live again,
And we shall call them ours where
Sprngtime never fades,
And roses droop no more. A. B.

Ded-At Paw Paw, Michigan, Oct. %, 1879,
Alta Il. Wernicke, aged 25 years.
One day grim Death was stricken blind,
And knew not where to wander;
beauteous bud perchance did find
And tore Its leaves asunder.
The mother tree bent down IN grief,
The snow-fakes all were falling;
Her sister buds were all bsreaved,
Alas for Alta calling.
This little bud lay cold and still,
Its beauteous lustrs faded,
None could its place with Mother fill
When in the earth she laid it.
She's gone; Oh yes, to bloom above
In realms beyond the sky;
She dwels with God in all His love,
Where life Will never die.
New York, Nov. 9th, 1879.
By LOUISA GIBSON.
The strife ia o'er. The loved of years, TO
whom our hearts had grown, hath left us.
Gone, with a wealth OF love which dwelt heart
kept. Gone, as the clouds of evening melt be-
yond the dark and solemn sky" After "hfe's
fitful fever" death hes upon her like untlmely
frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field
LAY her i the earth:
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
May violets spring. :"

DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT.

The Democrats of Ohio who ar,
laboring to elect General Ewing
Governor are cowed down by pro-
found disappointment. One of the
conditions upon which they had
hoped to be successful is wanting.
It was an essential condition and
its absence has tdemoralized their
canvass. They entertained hope
that they might go before the
people and point to suspended man
ufactories, idle workshops, vacant
store-houses, blighted crops, unem-
pIoyed men, and ragged and starving
women and children, as evidence of
Republican misrule, and with empty
and .hypocritical promises for the
performance of the impossible, de-
ceive the people and ride into
power. They knew that the revival
of commercial prosperity would be
fatal to their ambitions and aspira-
tions. But the black clouds which
they would invoke over the country
do not appear, and their position is
exceedingly ridiculous: When they
croak about hard times and talk
about ruin, the signs of substantial
improvement which are manifest
ing themselves in all parts Of
the country give the lie to their
declarations. Nature has not favor
ed their false assumptions. A fail
ure of crops would have filed then
with delight, but the rains o
Heaven have descended in theil
season, and the farmers in nearly
every part of the Union are made
glad by well filled barns and over
flowing granaries. The Democratic
politicians have prayed for disaster
to overtake our material interests
but the prayers of the wicke'
are an abomination in tn
sight of the Lord. Instead of pale
faced starving women and children
and restless, desperate, unemploye'
men, as they prayed to see, ant
which they might charge as the re
suit of resuming specie payments
we see trade and industry steadil..
reviving and the confidence of tn
people growing stronger and strong
er. Verify the Ohio Democrats ar
in great strait.
