TIE F1LIIIS OF FASHION.

r FASHIONABLE GIRLS soLILoQUY on PRACTICE
AND PRESSING SUBJECT
They ten me my face is fair,
That my form Is full OF grace.
And vet am doing my best-or worst
To spoil this form and face.
All, well do our censors say
Tina, woman is wofully weak,
FJr We hug the chains thai gall us So
And refuse our escape to seek
/ could scream with the pain, and do
When Parker my waist SO plnches;
But Fashion DEGREES that IL must be
AT the most but sixteen inches
AMI IT'S lace ! lace lacei
1ill gasp for each breath take,
And often long in the torture Keen
That the stay-.ace would but break.
It's the same from top TO toe
Ny boots my feet pinch IN;
Nv Jersey fashions latest lad,
Clings close TO me like skin.
And lis tug tug ! tug
When that garment they try TO don
Why, the caricature can't be too strong!
That tries to 'taSe II OIL
Ny hands are forced into gloves
A size at the least too small
Ny dress SO clutches me round the knees,
That fear every step to fall.
am nowhere free ; my arms
By tight-cut sleeves are clipp'd,
Nv neck is spannd by golden band
But why do dwell on thlse
Worse secrets l have TO tell,
II secrets you can esteem the TICKS
Which the world knows all too well.
The rouge, the chalk, and the pastel
The hare's foot and the dye!
The washes, the pencils. the cosmetiques!
Waich Fashions votaries try.
Falsel false falsel
And the list is one TO shame
Bat IT'S not the fashion now TO bush
Waen these toilet aids we name
The-e'I our hair well, thar is false,
II greater extent or less
And the lover who steals a lock ne'er knows
Whose hair he may chance TO ossess
And our faces oh, who shall tell
TIE labor which they involve?
The washes we boil, the pastes we mix,
Tle unguents that We dissolve?
Paint, and powder, and patch,
Patch. and powder, aud paint,
Till the hear; is sick and the fingers tired,
AID ones very spirits faint.
Paint, paint. paint,
TIL the ..rcses" will stand the light,
And paint, paint, paint
Ia style that is nt for night;
While the eyes are deftly lined,
And the lips with colors traced,
AMI ones alabaster brow and bust
In enamel are duly cased
And its pad, pad, pad
TIL our shapes are altered quite;
As though the lines by Nature drawn,
Could never 10y chance be right.
And We women, like holsters stuffed,
Walk gingerly about,
Assured that where there is so much false.
The truth must needs come out.
On, what would give TO be
The free, fresh girl OF yore,
TO cut my corset-sirings,
And to powder and paint no mosei
Oh. but for one short day,
To feel as | used to feel,
Ere cruel Fashion bound me tight
In her bands Of bone and steel !
Oh men with sisters dear
Oh. men with sweethearts and wives
lis TO gain your smiles, remember this
We are wearing out our lives
Remember, and interfere,
Rave pity, and come to our aid,
And 'sainsI our iyralts merciless,
Lead Us Oh Il new crusade.

The recent dreadful steamboat disasters

memorable one The latest Gisasier-that on

speaks the truth, he conlyssls that he was
incompetent for his position bu; the pToba-
bilty, is either that he did not keep proper
lookout or that he deemed it the business of
smaller crafts to keep out of his path. 1t is
high time that an example WAS made 0f some
of these reckless captains AMI pilols.

receiving the resignation of the Presidential

Democratic Electors, and choose none i'll
place of those resigned. Then they got up
an address to the Democratic party defend
