A Mystery of the Honeymoon,

The courtship, the engagement, the
ceremony are over. The bridegroom
hands his bride into the carriage, and
the honeymoon begins. Now observe
one of the most singular facts in the
whole history of courtship, a fact to
which there is no known exception: The
bridegroom never can recall the first
words spoken by him to the bride in
that carriage. WhyP This question has
been asked a hundred thousand times
and never satisfactorily answered yet.
Some attribute the forgetfulness to Joy;
some to confusion; some fancy the
words are of such an extremely roman
tic nature, the man finds it more consis-
tent with his dignity not 10 recall theM.
The answer is none of these. Tt is much
more prosaie and practical. The secret
of forgetfulness is that he has already
SAID to her everything he could think
would interest her, every thing that does
interest him. His conversational re-
sources are exhausted and he has moth
ing to say. Instead of an important
speech, he utters some dreary COMMON
place, throws him elf back in the cush-
ions, devoutly thanking heaven "the
thing is over" Thus, before the honey
moon is five minutes old the bridegroom
breaks down.-TIaSLey'S Magazine.

The Indians welcomed the plan with

Grenadine dresses entirely black are
made over glossy Surah skirts to make
them light.
Barberry iringes are in vogue, of long
ish satin drops strung in clusters from
the heading.
Plated skirts forming double kits are
very fashionable for foulards and for
thin wool dresses.
The gay cotton dresses are quite as
effective as those of foulard, and are Sc
cured for Newport and Saratoga.
A new fancy is that of using creamy
white India muslin shirred inside of
open necks of grenadine and foulard
dresses.
Satin drop fringes mingle with the
Chinese nettings, and add variety to
the three thousand and odd styles al
ready known.
Hoods are about to be revived, and
are made on round capes that reach only
to the elbow, as well as on the long
straight gowns that form overdresscs
for suits.
Large pelerine collars, reaching far
down en- the shoulders and finished
with high fraise in the neck, are
found among collections of fashionable
lingerie.
Dragons, bees, butterflies, and birds
in shadowy forms, almost hints of the
real objects, appear among the palm
leaves and other Oriental designs of
late importaLions of dress goods.
Handsome brocaded wool goods have
delicate tinted grounds-camco, sal
mon, cream and sky blue-while the
brocaded figures are of satin in dull red,
old gold, heliotrope and sapphire blue.
A novelty in hosiery consists of
Lisle or silk lack stocking; as the clock
covering the entire stocking is very
open, the hose is worn over another
stocking of the same or contrasting
shade.
Directoire collars and square cuffs are
made of jetted net, and edged with a
row of cut jet beads like those used on
the brims of bonnets; these trim basques
of black greuadine, and also of silk
suits. Surplice and square necks of such
dresses have black beaded lulle draped
inside of the opening.
Two kinds of black grenadine are in
the same dress; that for the plated
fiounces is striped with satin, and the
stripes are made to go around the
figure, instead of being lengthwise. For
the body and overskirt satin grenadine
with transparent open figures outlined
with jet is used, also the large satin
frills and polka dots.
Jet netted aprons, or else fringe half
yard deep, trim the fronts of many
grenadine dresses. Sometimes the
sleeves come only to the elbow, and be-
low this are half-sleeves of jetted net
that fit the arm smoothly, or else
wrinkle like thread glove, and are
finished at the wrist with rutfles of lace
and loops of satin ribbon.

How an American Mamma Managed.


A Paris newspaper gives recent in
stance OF the great success of an Amer
ican mamma. Her elder daughter had
sailed from New York with some
friends for tour of Europe, and, afler
doing the continent had returned to the
French capital for several months Of
rest and pleasuring. Attractive and
clever, she had many suitors, some
more, some less desirable. She could
not marry them all, so she adroitly re-
duced the number to two-the best of
the lot, of course. Then SIZE wrote the
fact to her mamma, adding that they
were both so handsome, agreeable, well
connected and rich that she could not
decide between them, and closed with
the question, "What shall doP" Ten
days later she received cablegram from
mamma, / sail tomorrow. Hold both
till | come" The next transatlantic
steamer carried Mrs. with her
younger daughter, turned eighteen, and
Just out of school. On arrival she i'm
mediately took the helm of affairs, and
steered so deity through the dangerous
waters that in q few weeks she had
reached port with all the colors flying
To drop q. metaphor, she attended the we'd
ding of her two daughters at the Amer
ican chapel the same morning. After
due examination, she had decided that
neither of the nice fellows should go
out of the family.

Green Crops as Manure.

On a recent visit to Mr.. E. p Roe's
small-fruit farm at Cornwall-on-H Hudson,
we observed that wherever crop OF
plantation had been removed, buck
wheat was growing. This, Mr. Roe ex-
planned, would be spaded under at the
proper time. 1t was, he thought, a
cheap and profitable means of fertiliz-
ing the soil and rendering it loose and
friable. Clover would be better still,
but required more time than could be
spared on place like his. He also
forks under all the weeds on his farm,
instead of hoeing them down, thus re-
storing to the soil what they have taken
from it, and adding to it whatever ele-
ments they may have drawn from the
atmospheric Some Interesting facts
bearing upon the value of such mode
of increasing the. productive power of
land are given by a correspondent of
the Practical Farmer, who says:fl..l ,
l seeded land last year which 1 des-
ignated for potatoes. This year SOW
ed rye after cultiuating my corn for the
last time; but the seed not holding out,
there was three-cornered strip of short
rows which was not seeded. This
spring, about the Goth of May, as the
!, rye commenced to head and was stand
ing knee-high to the horse, I plowed
it under, using a chain to draw it nicely
under the furrow; but l noticed then
that the part with no rye on was becom-
ing foul with weeds, and through the
, summer the outlines of this vacant
place showed very distinctly in the po-
tato-tops not being as green, and smaller
than on the rest of the field, and
the yield was not as good there, though
the balance of the field yielded so well
that it was evident that the green ma
nluring had been, very good for them.
After harvesting two fields of winter
grain, | found that the clover seeding on
them had failed; so / cultivated these
fields and sowed them to rye about the
middle Of August, and it was pleasure
all the fall for me to see the clean
and green appearance of these fields as
they compared with the foul condition
ton Cfor nearly all the clover on them
failed to grow on account of an early
summers drought. These fields gave
about two months pasturing for hun
dred sheep, leaving them (the sheep as
well as the field) apparently all the
better for it,. We all think clover to be
the best of all to plow under for green
manuring, but many times, either from
the failure of clover or the want of time
enough to grow it, the farmer could i'm
prove bis land materially and cheaply
by sowing it to buckwheat, or oats, or
rye, for blowing under instead. The
opportunities for putting in such crops
will be found by the farmer after he has
once seen the advantage of them, and
how cheaply and quickly they can be
grown. This green manuring, as far as
It can be practised, is done much cheap
er than by any other plan. Besides, it
keeps the land sheltered and clean from
the harvest of one crop to the time OF
putting it into another.-Eramir'er and
