A Strange Presentment.

A late number Of the Louisiana @our-
,ial says Earnest. bright boy of seven
sears, oldest son of Mr.. Samuel Temple
ION, gatekcepar on the Prairieville gravel
road, just below this city, met with an ac-
ciient on Thursday Of last week which
resulted in his death soon afterward.
,ut noon on that dav lie mounted a
wagon loaded with wood, with the inten-
fion of unloading it. The lad seized
stick and was iu the act of throwing it to
the ground, when he lost his equilibrium
and fell, head foremost, To- the earth. His
cries brought his father to his assistance,
led him iD.o the house. The boy did not
seem to be much injured, he was consci-
Gus, explained to his father how he fell,
pointed out Ills bruises, and conversed
nationally for an hour, when he suddenly
lost consciousness and remained IN that
condition antil bis death, which occurred
about six kours after the accident.
The night proceeding the above sad ac-
ci5ent MrE. TempletOn, the mother of the
child, had . strange preseniment of his
death EARLY in the evening while the
child was asleep, she approached hislit-
tie bed, and looking earnestly into his
face, burst into tears.
The grief With which she was overcome
was intense and uncomfortable. ltat-

For Brides Only.

From Frank Ieslie's Lady's Journal.
The materials for bridal robes this season
are remarkably elegant. Extremists in fash
ion select brocades-satin brocade for brides
over 20 years OF age, and silk broeade for
Younger brides-though plain satin, by con-
yentionaI consent the one material always in
vogue for the bridal robe-is clamored for
BY some; while plain gros grain silk has its
votaries, and India null, swiss null, and
French organdy muslin dresses are sent out
for youthful rustic brides, who do not feel
wiling to afford ne expense Of dress more
costly.
The silks and gauzes which are shown for
bridal robes are in several distinct tints of
white, and several distinct shades OF these
tints In cream white, for instance, there is
the dark rich, yellow1sh shade OF the AldeTney
cream, twenty-fours old; and according TO
the age of the cream, paler shades, TILL the
faintest ''off color is visible In pearl white
we are shown tint that almost approaches
the smoke pearl in shade; another, that has
a suspicion of rose in tint; another, with the
fantest suspicion of lilacs-this being quite
perceptIble on the wrong side Of plain satin
or satin hr0cade; and from these scarcely
perceptible hints of celor in the silk fabrics
displayed there are fainter and fainter shades
till tie existence of eoiored ray Is dlslin
guishable only when laid beside piece
snsw- white silk. Cream white OF the medium
shade is that in the most d cided favor for the
bridal,robe; and of the whites is that which Is
regarded as the Insst becoming or the least
trying TO the complexion.

Borrowing NeIghbOrS

"I'm going to move" said Mr.. Butter
wick; II can't stand those Thompsons
next door to me any longer. They are
the awfulest people to burrow things that
[ ever saw. Coffee and butter and sugar
and flour don't mind so much, although
when a woman borrows highpriced su-
gar and Java coffee, and sends back sand
and chickory, man naturally feels bill
lous and mean. But they've borrowed
pretty near everything in the house.
First it's ore thing and then it's another,
| from morning till night right straight
along.
Now there's the poker. A poker is a
piece Of machinery that you would think
anybody might go around and buy, or, if
they couldn't afford it, they might use a
fence paling to shake up the fire. But
Mrs. Thompson seems to. banker after our
poker; she borrows it fifteen or twenty
times a day, and last Saturday she sent
for it thirty -four times. She pays boy
two dollars week to run over and Dor
row that poker; and she's used it so
much that it is all bent up like cork
screw.
Now the chairs, for instance. She asks
us to lend our chairs three times day at
every meal, and she borrows the rocking
chair every time she wants to put the
baby to sleep.
A couple of times she sent over for our
sofa, and when the boy came back with
it he said Mrs. Thompson was mad as
thunder, and kept growing around the
house all dav because there were no cas-
tors on IT, Last Monday she borrowed
our wash boiler, and we had to put off our
washing till Tnesdcy. She did her pre-
serving in it aud the consequence was all
our clothes were full of preserved peach
es I've got on an undershirt now that
I'm mighty doubtful if ii get it off, it's
stuck to ne so tight
Every now and then she has company,
and she borrows our hired girl and all the
parlor furniture; once, because | would
not carry the piano over for her and take
down the chandelier, she told our girl
that there were rumors about town that l
was reformed pirate.
Perfectly scandalousl They think moth
ing Of sending over after couple of bed
steads or the entry carpet; and the other
day Thompson says to me-
'Butterwick, does your pump-log pull
up easyf
And when I said l til ught 1t did, he
said
We'll, would like to borrow it for
few days till can get one, for mine IS
al rotted away.
The only wonder to me is that he didn't
try to borrow the well along with 1t.
And then on Tuesday Mr.. Thompson
sent that boy over to know if Mrs. Butter
wick wouldn't lend him our front door.
He said theirs was away being painted
and was afraid the baby would catch
cold. When asked him what he supposed
we were going to do to keep comfortable
without any front, he said Mrs. Thompson
said sue reckoned we might tack upa bed
quilt or something. And when / refused.
the boy said Mrs. Thompson told HIM II
I wouldn't send over the front door, to
ask Mrs. Butterwick to lend her pair of
striped stockings and horsehair hustle,
and TO borrow the coal-scuttle till Monday.

Her request was granted, and the ladies
PLAYED all night the Russian losing at
every hand, until her opponent had won
from her more money than the mines in
the Ural had produced for her revenues
in twenty five years. At last the Russian
lady made despairing effort to regain
her fortune, but without avail Rising
from the table, she told the French lady
how she had lost more than she possessed,
but that in her desire to pay debt of
honor she would instruct her steward to
convey to her the title-deeds of all the
mines and estates she owned. ct this the
victorious antagonist smiled ana request
ed mat she might have her own way in
the IN lt+er, since she had won. A priest
and a lawyer were sent for. When they
arrived, the russian lady was asked to
bind herself by solemn oath never again
/ to touch a card or risk money at any
/ game of chaace, She did so, and then
signed an engagement to pay her antag-
| onist the annual sum of $4,000. The
vow never 10 play cards for money again

New York Ladies.

New York Cor. Chicago Times.
The woman OF New York is just as
queer as those which live and trive in
other productive localities. While the
prevailing prig of her acquaintance is en-
dcavoring to convince her that he is d
genuine Englishman by turning his ell
bows akimbO and springing his knees
when he pr0menades she replies to his
endeavors by wearing three feathers in
Prince of Wales style At one side of her
Gainsborough hat. She would not wear
her female relatives wide corsets and
large shoes, however, for all the world.
Noindeed. IF she had the ample foot
and especially the ample ankle of the
English woman, she could not continue
to shorten her skirts inch by inch, as she
has been doing for the past three months,
10 exhibit the embroidery upon her stock
ings. No indeed. Low-quarteTed shoes
or boots with ornamented openings, are
now as frequently seen upon the street in
the morning as pretty face.
In New York very few-ladies are seen
shopping except in the. forenoon, the. rest
Of the day being devoted, at this season,
to riding or to seclusion. Those who can
afford to drive or ride are seen In the
Park every sunny afternoon, and those
who really cannot keep turnout manage
to secure carriage for Saturdays.
They purchase livery to suit them
selves, providing they do not already
have one which was left over after their
wreck Of fortune, and this they deposit
with a stable man. They then arrange
TO secure the same driver, horses, and car
r;aoo for fbo.r neaasfonal cut1ncS IN Tho
Park, and also fer paying visits. This
establishment appears to be exclusively
their own. and to appear as good, If not
better. than TO be, in tie estimation of
some our citizens. No lady is really will
ling to be seen shopping or walking after
/ o'clock, consequently the Park is a
beautiful spectacle from 3 to 8 p. NJ, at
