Spring STYLES.

A Paris letter has the following: see
nothing more delightfully."- rcdolent OF
spring than the new stuffs for dresses ex-
hibited in the windows of the great dry
goods stores which we here call magasi..a

fashion TOR the rest of this year. Lyons
has surpassed herself in turning ont gar
den dresses, term which does not mean
dresses suitable TO garden wear but of a
style that reminds the spectator of par

them is iobes jardiniers. They are &c.

charming, and they also suit the richest
satins when made into waistcoats, scarfs
AID paniers. Those bright flowers were
sown in an inclement winter of manufac-
turing distress. Supple English wooden
and cotton cloths were found to drape the
human figure better than the silks which
are staple manufacture OF France. The
work people raised loud cry of distress
Mill fires went out. Charity balls were
given at which attempts WIRE made to
stimulate Lyons trade. Madame MacMa-
bon and her lady friends wore silk morn
ing, noon and night. The Countesse de
Paris went to hunt in siiken riding
haOit and the Uuchesse de Chartres in
one of dark green satin turned up with
velvet. Still fashion persevered in favor
ing Oxfords and merinos. 1t had been
found that the silk manufacturers loaded
their stuffs with pigments which gave them
weight and gloss, but deprived them of
those lasting qualities which the thrifty
French bourgeois naturally value. They
cut, they became greasy, the dust sank in
to them, causing stains which could not
be brushed off, and there was little salts

by brisk competition, and q
feeling that great market was passing

The Venus of Melos.

o Goddess of the Grecian isle
Whose shore the blue 1Egean layes,
Whose cliffs repeat with answering smile
Their features in its sun-kissed waves.
An exile from thy native place,
We view thee in northern CLINE,
Yet mark on thy majestic face
glory still undimmed by time.
Through these calm lips, proud Goddess,
speak!
Portray to us Thy gorgeous fame,
Where Melian suitors thronged TO seek
Thine aid, Loves Paradise TO gain;
Where, oft as in the saffron east
Days jewelled gates were open flung,
With stately pomp TIL attendant priest
Drew back the vail before thee hung;
Aud as the daring kiss OF morn,
Empurpling, made thy charms more fair
Sweet strains, from unseen MINISTRIES borne,
Awoke from dreams the periumed air.
Vouehsafe at least our minds to free
From doubts pertaining To thy charms;
The meaning of thy Bonded knee,
The secret of thy vanished armsi
Wast thou in truth eonjoined with Marsy
Did thy fair hands his shield embrace
The surface OF whose golden bars
Grew lovely from thy mirrored facef
Or was it some bright scroll OF fame
Thus poised on thy extended knee
Upon which thou didst trace the name
OF that fierce god so dear TO thee.
Whate'er thou hadst, no mere delight
Was thine the glittering prize to hold
Not thine the form which met thy sight
Replying from the FURNISHED gold
Unmindfui what thy hands retained,
Thy gaze was fixed beyond, above;
Some dearer objects held enchanted
The Goddess of immortal lovet
We mark the motion of thine eyes
and smile, for heldst thou shield or scroll,
A tender love glance we surprise
Which tells the secret of thy soul.

ers of farm implements and machinery,
steam engines, mill machinery, etc., dur
ing which period their wares have be-
come well known and highly valued
throughout the country. Over twenty
years ago, they made fortunate hi. by
originating the celebrated "Vibrator''
Thresher, machine which has 50 rap
idly gained favor with farmers, that,
from the manufacture of only ten the
frst year, their sales now largely exceed
those of any other thresher factory in the
world. And this popularity is founded
upon IN srit, for the machine (which is
said to DC undoubtedly the original and

prises all possible improvements for
tnreshing and separating grain in the

As BOW offered TO the public, the machine
the result of long aud careful expert
menting by persons of genius and skill,
with the aid of liberal expenditure. and
hence it is not surprising that the ''Vib-
rator should far excel all the oio. fas hioned
threshers in every essential requisite. In
great value and success of the vibrator"
: which long ago achieved a national
reputation renders it worthy the atten-
ton of all grs and seed growers and
threshermen, whether located in the East
or West, North or South. After many
trials and trlbulations- turing which its
firm friends fought fierce foes-the sig.
nal triumph of this machine is a notable
instance of the Survival of the tittest,"
and the result must be as gratifying to
the manufacturers as it is beneficial to
the farming community. The vibrator"
is confidently claimed to be 'the head
and front of the thresher family" and to
possess and combine such qualities that
it saves all the grain and cleans perfectly,
makes no waste or littering, threshes
fax, timothy, and all seeds, has no beat

grain; simple, light-runniug, durable,
easily kept in order, and always reliable.

surely possess such intrinsic merit as to
