not only have the Italian Gorgopzola
and Strachino, and the French Boque-
fort and Camembert largely superseded
our ancestral Stilton, Cheddar, Double
Gloucester and North Wiltshire, but the
adloit dairy farmers of New York and
New Jersey have of late devoted them
selves with immense energy to the fab
rlcation or forgery of Continental Euro
pean cheeses, comprising not only those
we have mentioned, but Gruyere, or
Brie, Neuchatel, and what was formerly
thought the inimitable Parmesan.
Throughout the early spring and sum-
mer this year We ate French and Algerian
fruit and vegetables almost excessively.
The quails at our grand banquets come
from Italy and the South of France !;
and the French farmers wives through
out Picardy. Normandy and the Isle Of
France are busily employed just now in
fattening geese, turkeys and capons for
the English Christmas market.
As for the Dutch, they keep up fair
fight with the Americans in our kitchens
in the way of cheese but our own
cheeses are going rapidly to the wall.
Our red behring's on the other hand,
continue to be we'll spoken of. but there
is no great demand for Yarmouth bloaters
out of England; and even at home the
kippered herring has to wage fierce war
to hold its own against smoked salmon
from Holland and the Gulf of Bothnia,
dried sprats from the North Sea, picked
anchovites from Sicily, dried con-sounds
from Newfoundland, picked funny from
the Mediterranean, and caviar from the
Volga. "Royal hams from Chicago
are pitilessly shoulderipg our native
Yorks; and the primest of our break
fast bacon comes no more exclusively
from Wiltshire. Many intelligent
Frenchmen have, for long time past,
been making huge fortunes by supplying
US with eggs and chickens; and, as for
the meat we eat, we know not whether
it comes from our own provinces, from
Holland, from Scotland, from Nebraska
or from Texas.

FASHIONS.

Black lace scarfs, wound round and

The demand for diamonds is very
great this year.
The garnet shade is much brighter

Cardinal red is now presented in much
brighter shades.
Bonnet strings are shirred at the ends
and trimmed with tassels, balls, lace
and fringe, as suits the fancy.
Ostrich feathers are used profusely on
bonnets and hats.
The popularity of plush is unbounded,
and plush jhckets with basques added to
them are used with cashmere skirts Of
every color to match. The sole trim
ming consists of large and handsome
buttons, which are very fashionable in
deed. The Tam O'Shanter hat or the
drawn bonnet matches the plush.
Fancy cloths are fashionable for la
dies Winter suits; They are of some
dark tint with dashes of bright color
red, yellow and blue, which, however,
are not very visible unless you look
quite close.
Serge and cloth dresses in tiny check
patterns are fashionable in very dark
or neutral tints, which are very gener-
ally, however, frightened up by some
touch of red either in the trimmings or
the cravat or bonnet
Indoor jackets are made of navy-blue,
or seal-brown cloth, with borders of
Turkish cashmere of the brightest colors.
Rufles of yellow lace are worn round
the neck and wrists.
Plaids have quite come into favor
again; skirts are made entirely of thick
plaid surah of ribbed texture. killed all

self-colored material, and the rest is

the plaid pattern.
The new Winter bonnets are conspic-
uous for the beauty and richness Of the
materials of which they are composed ;
fancy shot velvets, satins and plush as
soft and fluffy as down. Their shapes
are in general large and protruding,
though some exceptions still appear in
the way of close capotes.

MY MOTHERS PICTURE.

How many times, as the room hasten
Without thought of other days at all,
lift my eyes, and straightway am standing
Before her picture. hanging the wall.
Almost it seems her pleasant voice is calling,
And am fain to answer, "Yes, 1 hear"
All earthly sounds shall be to as silence.
Ifyou will speak, o mother, mother dear.
No answer comes! hush my breath to listen,
But stll the eyes, with patient, steadfast gaze
Look into mine; they pierce through flesh and spirit
bow my head and blush beneath their rays.
For she is wise with wisdom that appals me;
The solemn secrets of the grave she knows:
And high o'er me by Gods own hand upfted,
Through wondrous ways of Ills own heaven she
goes.
Beyond all change, and safe from times mutation,
And grieved no more by earth's forlorn complaints
Thou pictured face dim sembance of my motheri
How dost thou look among the crowned SAINTS?
So farl so far Once If l family called you,
Or laughed, or wept you so quick to know;
All else might fail, my mothers love was certain;
Now, dying cen, your touch must forego.
Thou there, l hear, and know not what spaces
Beyond the graves green width divide us two,
Nor Of times. uncounted and unmeasured.
Thou must go o'e~ me look on you.
But l shall find you am coming, motherl
Sometime, somewhere, when His great will is done,
And am fit to stand once more beside you,
To your high place shall have leave to come.

OWN A HoME.-Every man who has
or expects to have family should strive
to become the owner of home, for with
out one he can never feel nor be inde-
pendent. With home of his own he
becomes better contented, feels deeper
interest inypublic affairs. and is better
member of society. No man should
rest satisfied until he possesses at least
a small portion of the grandest of all
posscssions-land-the fruitful mother
of all the productions which sustain ex-
istence. secures comfort and gives stabll-
ity and independence to life. Every
man makes his life what it is out of the
material circumstances which surround
him. How different the feelings of the
family, with a home they can call their
OWE. to those who are dependent tenants!

THE CAMEL.

During the hottest season, when green
herbage ceases to exist in the countries
inhabited by camels, they are led to
water every alternate day. Thus they
are supposed to drink once in forty
eight hours; but when upon the march
across deserts, where no water exists,
they are expected to carry load of
from five to six hundred pounds, and to
march twenty-five miles per day, for
three days, without drinking, but to be
watered on the fourth day.
Thus camel should drink the even
ing before the start, and he will carry
his load one hundred miles without the
necessity of drinking; not, however,
without suffering from thirst. On the
third days march, during the hot
simeon, the camel should drink if possi-
BILE; but he can endure the fourth day.
This popularity of constitution ena-
bles the camel to overcome obstacles of
nature that would otherwise be insur-
mountable. Not only can he travel
over the scorching sand of the wither-
ing deserts, but he never seeks the
shade. When released from his bur-
den he kneels by his load in the burr
ing sand, and luxuriates in the glare of
sun that drives all other beasts to
shelter. The peculiar spongy forma-
tion of the foot repders the camel ex-
ceedingly sure, although it is usual to
believe that it is only adapted for fat
sandy plains.
| have travelled over mountains so
precipitous that no domestic animal but
the camel could have accomplished the
task with load.
This capabillty is not shared gener-
ally by the race, but by a breed be-
longing to the Hadendowa Arabs, be-
tween the Red Sea and Taxa. There
! Is quite as great a variety in the breeds
of camels as of horses. Those most es-
teemed in the Soodan are the Bishareen

exceedingly strong and enduring. The

good hygeen, or riding dromedary, is
worth from fifty to hundred and fifty
dollars, according to his capabilities.
A thoroughly good hygeen is supposed
to travel fifty miles day, and to COL
tinue this pace for five days, carrying
only his rider and small skin or girbs.
His action should be SO easy that his
long ambling trot should produce that
peculiar movement adopted by nurse
when hushing child to sleep upon her
knee. This movement is delightful,
and the quick elastic step of first
class animal imparts an invigorating
spirit to the rider, and were it not for
the intensity of the sun, he would will
ingly ride forever. The difference Of
action and of comfort to the rider be-
| tween a common camel and high-elass
hygeen, is equal to that between thor

OUR SHIPS AT SEA.

How many Of us have ships at sea,
Freighted with wishes, and hopes, and fears,
Tossing about on the waves, while we
Linger and wait on the shore for years.
Gazing afar through the distance dim
And signing, Will our ship ever come in?
We sent them away with laughter and song,
The decks were white and the sails were new
The fragrant breezes bore them along
The sea was calm and the skies were blue,
And we thought watched them sale away
ofthe JOY they would bring us some future day.
Long have watched beside the shore
To catch CLEAN Of coming sail,
But we only hear the breakers roar
Or the sweeping night winds dsmal wall,
Till our cheeks grow pale, and our eyes grow dim
And we sadly sigh will they never come in?
Oh poor sad heart with it's burden Of cares
Its aims defeated its worthless life,
That has garnered only the thorns and the tares,
That is scared and torn in the pitful strife,
Afar on the heavenly golden shore
Thy ships are anchored for ever more.

And countless wedding jewels shine,
And golden gifts OF grace;

1t seemed hearl the tluttering 70 5cs
or maidens clad IN white,
The clasping Of thousand hands
In tendercst delight;
While whispers ran among the boughs
Ofpromises and praise;
And playful, loving messages
Sped through the leaf-lit ways.
Then there were swayings to and fro;
The weeds a-tiptoc rose,
Aud sang the breeze Il sudden song
That sank to sudden close;
And Just beyond the rcathed aislcs
That end against the blue.
The ra,mcnt of the wedding choir
And priest came shining through.
And though SAW no welding guest,
Nor groom. nor gentle bride,

And holy love replied.
Soon will the lcngthening shadows mo,
