Giving and Taking Advice,

Giving advice is certainly one of the
hardest things in the werld, both for
the speaker and the person spoken to-.
1t is the property of few TO be able to
say Just the right thing in the best way
and at the proper time; and still fewer
are able to receive advice precisely as
they ought, without misunderstanding
OF suspicion, and with determination
to profit by it to the fullest. But it is
certain that much good council, which
is really needed, and which is decently
given, fails of its good effect because
the receivers of it DO not properly dis
tinguish between true advice and i'm
proper interference or mischievous med
ding. "a great deal of the outcry
against meddiing," says an English re-
viewer, "comes from persons who most
need some interference with the swing
OF their course of action. How violently
indignant are young people when en-
gagged in course of excitement or dis
sipation, or any career of passion or
self-will, at a word or hint of interler-
ence; how jealous of the mere suspicion
Of it; how nsolent in thought, and often
in word and act, against the offender! |!
In all headlong doings of any kind, and
ut any age, there is the same resentment
ut any sense of external check" 1t is
hard to be advised Alright, especially
when ones own conscience approves of
the wisdom of the counsel; for none are
so bold in self-asscrtion as those who
know they are in the wrong. But that
person, old or young, is wise who
weighs advice tor what it is worth, and
is at least Us ready to accept and profit
by it as to spurn it and follow con-
trary course OF action. The chances
are, when person really takes courage
to advise you on any matter, that there
is something worth looking at in what
he savs.--S. S. Times.

Hints About Dresses.

While the basque and trimmed skiri
are the prevailing style, great many
polonaises are also used. Some of the
latter are seen with straight backs moi
caught up in the least, and quite full in
plaits that fall lengthwise; others have
combinations of different fabrics for
scarfs in front or on the sides; and
many are cut off in front ike a basque,
while the back is in princesse shape.
For basques the surplice effects are very
much used, and quite rival the direc-
toire styles in popularity. Vests are
not as much worn as they have lately
been, but are sometimes seen with the
shirred fronts of dresses; thus the con-
trasting fabric is set down the front of
waist like vest, and the material of the
basque is shirred in clusters each side Ct
it. Sometimes the basque is laid in
plaits that fold on the bosom in surplicc
shape, and this is repeated in the back
Another fashion seen again in French
dresses is that of making the middle
forms of the back very full, shirring
them at the neck and at the waist line,
allowing the fullness to fall below in
position plaitings. This and the great
bow at the back are the favorite designs
when coat basques are not used. The
bow is simply two wide large loops
closely strapped at the top, and the
loops are pendent rather than straight
across; a similar bow is at the throat,
and if the basqueis belted, another is at
til waist in front. The narrow plait-
IS already described form the favorite
trimming for the foot of skirts; these
a.'u each three inches wide when fin
lied, and are made to lap an inch upon
each other, the plating is then pulled
out of its fat folds, to look as bunchy as
possible.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.

The plain colOrcu French buntings
that were so fashionable last summer
are becoming the popular costumes for
afternoons at home and at the watering.
place resorts. The ne y fancy is TO COM
bine these with figured foulards, instead
of the heavy brocaded silks used with
them last year. These are especially
pretty in the creamy white buntings
that are known also as nuns cloth, and
as religieuse yelling. White challis,
white mohair, camel's-hair. and Chud-
dah cloths are also used for summer
dresses for the country. Some of these
have the Taliien overskirt draped very
high on one side, or else opened its
whole length to show the flounces of
heliotrope or blue silk skirt beneath.
Cashmeres in the new heliotrope shades
in which a gray tinge prevails, are also
made up in conjunction with summer
foulards; indeed, this fabric rivals the
brilliant red satin for illuminating
dresses.

The reports from the Territories are
included with those Of the Pacific States
for the later years; for 1871 there were
reports from California only.
There is hope for France. Gambetta
believes in the education Of girls. Since
1866 the nation has reduced taxation by
lie, 900, 900 francs, and brought up the
estimates for public instruction from
"a, 600, 900 francs to So, 100000. He
also Believes in cheap wine. He says:
"We are going TO tighten every sort
of tax on wine. This will be done in
the interest Of the working classes, to
whom pure wine is an absolute neces-
siiy. The empire brutalized them by
making wine dear. We had dear wine
drunk in the four months OF the siege,
which would in itself explain the Com
mune. Our laboring man can no more
do without wine than the Belgian with.

drinks the poisonous brandies extracted
from brandy and beet-root, and sold Of

Trials of an Engaged Girl.

After all, the yoke of marriage is an
apparatus that should sit on two pairs
of shoulders; and there is nothing very
seemly in seeing girl wait to wear her
own part OF it until it has been nicely
padded with quilted satin. Looking at
the matter from less elevated point ol
view, long engagements are rather tire
some in restricting the liberty of girls.
Miss Jenny, who is going to marry Mr..
Simpson as soon as that hopeful young
man gets a living, is obliged in the
meanwhile to deny herself many pleas,
ures, lest Simpson should take offense.
She must eschew balls; she must take
care that nobody makes love to her; and
for this purpos9 she is obliged to let all
chance comers be speedily informed OF
her engagement. Unhappily, the sym
bolism of rings is always unregarded,
else the chance comers might discover
the fact for themselves by looking al
the second finger of Miss Jenny's left
hand. If Jenny has no sisters to talk Of
her bethrothal, and ifher mother does
not accept timely hints to mention it Oh
every necessary occasion, or the en-
gagement is not announced in the So
ciety paper, the girl is rather en-
barrassed for words in which to con
vey the news delicately to strangers
She cannot allude to Mr.. Simpson n,
"Johnny'-that would be too familiar !;
the cannot speak of him as Simpson" "
for this would sound strange; but ifsht

inerences from her apparent familiarity

A Leader OF the GauchOs.

The north Atlantic coast is not the
only region whose inhabitants are de-
moralized by the northeast wind. Co.
ernor Rosas, of Buenos Ayres, who was
successful in subduing the Indians OF
the pampas, never treated with them
when the wind blew from the north
east. He found from experience that
during such periods the savages were
morose and indisposed to submit to
reason or force. When, however, the
wind came from the southwest they be-
came reasonable, and then the governor
found little difficulty in making honor
able arrangements with them.
This Rosas was remarkable man.
He was splendid horseman, and even
the gauchos, the modern representatives
Of the centaurs, admitted that lie ex-
celled them in riding and throwing the
lasso. Once, at public celebration in
the city of Buenos Ayres, he gave an
exhibition of his skill. Stationing a
gaucho, with lasso, at a corner of the
public square, Rosas rode at full speed
down the street. AS he entered the
square the gaucho threw his lasso and
caught Rosas' horse by the foreleg. Tho
animal fell headlong and broke its neck.
But Rosas leaped from the saddle
alighted on his feet, and walked off,
raising his hat in acknowledgment oi
the cheers of the people.
The leader of the aristooratic party
was Lavalle. Rosas shut him up in
Buenos Ayres and then besieged the
city. The war was a shocking one, no
quarter being given on either side. La
valle's supplies giving out, he deter
mined to come to terms with Rosas. One
day he rode out to the gauchos' camp,
under a flag of truce, and asked to see
General Rosas. AS he was absent, La
vale accepted an invitation to enter the
generals tent, remarking that he had
had but little rest for a long time, and
would, if there was no objection, sleep
until Rosas' return. Stretching him
self on the ground, he fell asleep In n
few minutes. When Rosas entered the
camp he was informed that Lavelle was
in his tent.
ITO what good fortune am indebted
for this newsp" asked Rosas.
"He came under flag of truce" re-
piled the officer, "and asked permission
to repose until your return"
"Do not allow him TO be disturbed"
said Rosas. Amy one who can sleep
in the tent of his most deadly enemy
must be brave man. Let his fate bC
what it may, he shall have a peaceful
sleep to prepare for it,"
When Lavalle awoke he aud Rosas had
a conference. 1t resulted in the ter
mination of the civil war, and both
sides welcomed peace.

Words OF Wisdom.

A year of pleasure passes like float
ing breeze, but moment of misfortune
seems an age of pain.
Many men claim TO be firm in their
principles, when really they are only
obstinate in their prGudices.
If man have love in his heart, he
may talk in broken language, but it will
be eloquence to those who listen.
1t is well worth remembering that the
whole world will breathe little freer
if you will only resolve to be an honest
and upright man.
He who indulges his sense in any ex
cesses, renders himself obnoxious to his
own reason; and TO crafty the brute in
him, displeases the man, and sets his
two natures at variance.
To commit the execution of purpose
to one who disapproves of the plan of it,
is to employ but one-third of the man !;
his heart and his head are against you,
you have commanded only his hands.
Duty itself is supreme delight when
love is the inducement and labor BY
such principle the ignorant are en-
lightened, the hard-hearted softened,
the iisobedient reformed and the faith
ful encouraged,

aine; but an old friend OF yours one
who claimed to know you we'll assured
me that you were not quite indifler

His voice failed him.
"Who was this friend, Mr.. Maplesp"
Mr.. Dudley"
He saw her eyes flash. She stopped
at the foot of II fight of marble steps.
L am at home now. Will you come
here tomorrow and get your answer,
Mr.. MaplesP"
Her fnce, gentle and downcast, did
not tell him enough to bid lin hope,
but he could not forbear doing that in
The sight of her loveliness. He glanced
up at the wide portals, bronze lions and
arched easements, thinking, after he
had bowed and left her, that Annie Lor-
aine's aunt must be rich.
Another night of paIpitating hope and
fear, yet he came with a manly face to
Annie Lorraine to leorn her answer.
He was little surprised to find Dud.
ley in the room into which he was
US cred. He sat lolling in an Nasy-chair,
milling, complaisant, yet with flushed
face and covert sparkle in his eye.
Miss Lorraine rose from the sofa, and
advanced cordially TO her visitor, offer
ing her jeweled hand.
"You have come promptly for your
answer. Mr.. Naples" she said, "and ]
will be prompt with you. Iaccept your
offer of marriage, and give you, in the
very acceptance, my most sincere affec-
tion. Yesterday was the first of April,
and l think it is Mr.. Dudley who will
tell us who is the April fool"
With cry of rage, and a furious oath,
he sprang to his feet; but Miss Lorraine
turned her back on him, and walked
With Lynn into an adjoining parlor, and
ne made his exit from the house with
out her adieux.
In scheming to make Lynn Naples
offend the heiress by an offer of mar
liage, he had shot beyond his mark,
and, losing NIL hope of Annie Lorraine
and her fortune, bitterly repented his
rick of the first of April.

Two Terrible DueIs,

The London Telegraph prints the FOL
lowing: A horrible story of duel be-
tween two inhabitants of Morocco is
reported from Oran. The two principals,
both occupying good position, were
enamored ofthe same beauty, and agreed
to fight for her possession. The com
batants met at short distance from
Mequinez, each being armed with car
bine, revolver and hunting knife,
and mounted on horseback. The duel
lists rushed at one another at full speed,
which resulted in one ofthe horses being
killed, and the fight was continued on
foot. After the two men had received
several bullets in different parts of their
bodies, they closed, and commenced a
violent and horrible struggle with their
knives. One Of the men thrust his knife
into the others throat, and received a cut
from his enemy which opened the whole
of his chest. Too weak to use their arms,
the dying men took to biting one an
other, and expired. the one with his
teeth closing on the others cheek, who
gave up his last breath in endcavoring
to rip open his adversary's body. The
object of the encounter was thus gained,
as each prevented the other from OBJ
tanning the hand of the girl, who must
in future endeavor only to captivate one
admiler at time if she wishes to secure
a husband.
After all, this is ehild's play COM
pared with a desperate encounter de-
rribed by the Impartial, of Madrid, as
taking place at Valparaiso. A quarrel
between two rival professors of music
led to a challenge, the instrument Sc
lected being neither pen nor sword, but
the piano. The conditions of the "en-
counter" were that neither party should
eat or drink until honor had been de-
clared duly satisfied, and that no waltzes
Or other lively airs should be INDUCED
in. Seconds were appointed, and the
duel proceeded without intermission for
forty eight hours, at the end of which
time one of the musicians, after playing
Miserere" for the one hundred and
fiftieth time, fell forward, and sank ex-
hausted on the floor. He was taken up
n corpse. His adversary had been lit
orally transformed into an enranged
musician" and was in that state re-
moved to the hospital. The seconds
themselves gave signs of being seriously
touched" and each of the pianos was
found to be in hopelessly crazy condi-
tion. Such, at least, is the result of the
medical examination.

THWARTED.
I" Motherl"

"MotherW
A look of tender expostulation; the
swift moving of aged lips toSa smile.
Two faces almost touched as a pair If
strong arms relieved feeble ones oil a
heavy package of books.
"Well, DEAR" said the mellow old
voice OF Mrs. Naples, addressing her
son, Lynn; i thought you had enough
to carry"
Lynn Naples arms might have been
said to be full, for he carried dry
goods bundle, va,ise, well-packe
shawl-strap and an umbrella; but he
took quick possession of the books, and
then, after an instant's evident regret
that he had no arm to offer his mother,
stepped from the store door, and turned
to hail a ahorse-car.
A fair face, that had been turned
steadily toward the two since they
emerged from the store, leaned forward
now into the sunshine, as Annie Lor-
aine, among the velvet cushions of her
phaeton, followed with her brown, at
tentive eyes the movements of mother
and son.
Amusing, watching the crowd some
times" remarked an elegant young man
at her side, reconciling himself with
what grace he could to Miss Loraine's
inattention.
yes" she answered, almost inaudi-
bly,.
The next momont, with sharp cry,
she had sprung from the violet cushions
and was foremost in the gathering
crowd.
Bewildercd, and for once shaken out
of his boasted repose of manner, Percy
Dudley followed her.
An aged woman, her beautifully silvery
hair disheveled. her black dress GOV cred
with dust, had just been fitted from the
ground by burly policeman, and was
instantly claimed by young man.
"Will some one call carriageP"
cried Lynn Naples, his mother lying
senseless across his breast.
"Take mine! pray, take mine" the
astonished Dudley heard Miss Lorraine
saying.
But before he could get his breath,
he was shouldered one side by Lynn,
who had accepted Miss Loraine's offer
without thought, and was only anx-
ious to get his mother to place of
safety.
He laid her in the deep scat, and sup
ported her with one arm, while Miss
Lorraine put the lines into his other
hand.
"Turn down this side street-quick-
out of the crowd" she said; "and leave
the phaeton at the St. james hotel for
Miss Lorraine"
"The burly policeman had finished
placing his packages and bundles about
his feet, and mechanically Lynn Naples
obeyed the mandate given him by the
silvery voice and sweet brown eyes.
The pretty ponies bore him quickly
from the scene, and through several
quiet streets to his home.
Bythis time Mrs. Naples had regained
consciousness, and could descend from
the vehicle with his assistance, though
much shaken.
In stepping from the sidewalk 10 take
horse-car she had been interrupted by
the passing of carriage, and stepped
back beneath the horses of another.
Lynn Naples was blue-eyed, tender
hearted fellow, with nothing remarka-
lie about him but his purity of char
acter and domestic tastes, contrasting
strongly with the habits Of the young
lnen of the day.
