wlfatstu1as1aaera;le and irresistible tempta-

T" he wise with regard to dress is to be
sublime. To pass BY an attractive shop
and to gee hung in the window a fascinating
toilet that excites your admiration; to de-
vour thas charming prey with your eyes
te buald all kinds Of castles in s pain with
regard ts it; to dress yourself in Your mind,
with its roquettish laces, its gay ribbons,
and to say to Yourself: Il will put two
rosettes tn my hair; the white ribbon will
serve for the scarf, and | Will use the lace
for the waist and the Sleeves and then
suddenly to t. ar yourself VIOLENTLY away frsm
such culp2ble thou.h hts, to reprnach your
self about them, as though you had been
committing a crime, and then to fly cour-

its price. III Is requires more strength Of

will be taken, and the best heads think that
New York will present the name OF Mr..
Payne, Of Ohio. Mr.. Faulkner, OF New

There isa growing feeling here for the
old ticket. and unless the Ohio men can
agree upon Payne it may be nominated.
Mr.. Tilden's letter has had a very favor

out. His friends claim the nomination.
