tale blood" TO her cheeks at will, or
silently reveal, by an opportune roseate

ficulty in giving verbal expression.

in round pads, which are brought to

ill-made collar in which he worked.
The plaster was renewed. The third
day he returned again, requiring the
same attention, which he solicited in
similar manner. After this the plaster
was allowed to remain and the horse
recovered; but ever after, whenever it
saw its benefactress, it would immedi-
ately approach her and by voice and
action testify its sense of her kindness

OF which we can personally testify,
proves how sensible the horse is of

for benefits bestowed. Considerable

FASHION NOTES.

Old-fashioned side-combs are again
worn.
Imported evening dresses have very
long trains.
The full shirred corsage is adopted by
slender ladies.
The fashion Of powdering the hair
will be revived
Valvet will be worn by very young
ladies this winter
Dark green unadorned silk hose are
exceedingly popular.
Royal purple brocaded plush is a
costly and elegant fabric
There are many drawbacks to the
present style of overskirts.
Gold wrought Spanish lace is a very
fashionable trimming for bonnets.
Pearls, and mother-of-pearl, are very
fashionable articles of adomment.
Lustrous stuffs and colored stuffs are
the rule of the season. Women must
be gay in appearance whether they will
or no.
Plain surtouts are no longer fash
ionable, and the garments of that
name, made for this season are almost
overloaded with trimming.
Dauphin collars of black velvet are
made for wearing with any dress.
They are trimmed with lace, and have
ends of colored OF plaid Surah.
Bullet-shaped crochet buttons are
used for the fronts of sleeves of out
side garments, but fiat buttons are
placed on the back of the waist.
Some polonaises are drawn back
from the front and sides, like those
worn in the days of Marie Antoinette,
and called by the name of Trianon.
Among the pretty polonaises is one
which instead of buttoning down the
front, has the left side drawn over to.
ward the right, and looped just below
the waist. AS this looped side is made
rather longer than the other, it has the
effect of an apron front.

Birth and Breeding.

In talk to the students OF a busi-
ness college in Poughkeepsie, Rev. Rob
ert Collyer said on the subject of his
own birth and breeding:
1t is a great thing for a man to be
well-born, for as the proverb runs. you
cannot make whistle out of a pigs
tail. Only when Mr.. Lincoln said this
once in speech at the West, an inge-
NOUS Yankee sent him such whistle
by the next mail. Still, this is the
truth TO which the proverb points, that
what we call good blood is one condi-
tion of success in life; and this.
think, the Collyer elan can claim. But
we cannot claim it as the Adamses
can, and the Quinceys, and the fine old
families on this river, for we go back
to the grandfathers and grandmothers,
and there we stop; and both the men
were sailors, and both were lost at sea.
SO what | mean by being well born
is this, that my own father was one of
the most healthful men ever knew.
and my mother one of the most health
ful women, and he was brown and she
was blonde. My fathers eyes were
dark and soft, and my mothers eyes
were blue blended with gray, and could
snap fire and make things boom. And
the family nose juts out strong, and
matches the family chin; and, as
heard Mr.. Emerson say once, there is a
great deal in noses.
My father was as good a smith as
ever stood at any anvil, and that was
all. He had no other faculty, except
that of striking a tune in the little
meeting house; and you We're not sure
what the tune was going to be until he
had got to the end of the first line.
But my mother was a woman of such
faculty, though she could hardly read
or write that believe if she had been
ordered to take charge of 70-gun ship
and to carry it through a battle, give
her time to learn the ropes, and she
would do it.
She had in her, also, wells of poesy
and humor, and laughter SO shaking
that the tears would stream down her
face, and deep, abiding tenderness,
like that of the saints. And this they
had in common, they were as free from
infections us the stars. The most Woe
full fevers would break out in the cot
tages all about us and decimate the
neighbors, and they were always in
hand to help, going and coming as the
sunshine goes and comes, never think
ing OF changing their garments. Yet
they never caught a fever. nor did anV
of their children, or felt the slightest
touch of fear. And this is how come
at the guess that we were well-born.
They were so healthy, and not like in
like, as the poet says, but in difference,
and the mother was beyond all ques-
ton the better-half in those finer pow
ers Oh which the children have to draw
for their success in life. Moral, don't
marry doll.

Youths Companion
The public were shocked not long
since by the account of the death of
a lady, The daughter of one of the most
eminent professional men in the coun-
try, from an overdose of morphine.
The wretched story was published all
over the country.
The woman was young and beautiful.
She had high culture, and was by
nature gentle, loving and lovable. a
few years ago she began to take opium
for some disease, and soon became its
victim. All her struggles against it
were vain. At an age when she should
have been in the full vigor of her wo-
manhood, happy and retired mother,
she died alone, and her downfall and
disgrace were blaZoned in every city of
the union.
Opium drunkenness is said to be on
the increase in this country, and it pre-
walls largely among women. Very few
matrons or young girls, when suffering
from weakness or nervous disorders
would resort to brandy or whisky. But
a. NlOSt VI VI Ollltl UllO-
dyne, they regard as harmless
Physicians, too, heedlessly prescribe
something which they vaguely call
drops" to an overworked mother, or
young girl exhausted by incessant dane
ing or flirting, when the proper rene
dies would he few weeks rest from
labor and care, and q more wholesome,
rational life.
American women are, as rule, en-
getic. The busy housekeeper and the
eager belle find resort to a seemingly
innocent little black bottle, when they
are "run down" much easier than the
giving up Of work, or the sacrifice of
balls or germans. Before they are con-
scious of their danger, they are victims
to the most hopeless and terrible appe-
tites-they are opium drumdards 1t is
probable that no one who has ever be-
come addicted to this habit has been
able to conquer it. De Quincy wrote a
book that for dramatic horror and
pathos has not its like in literature. to
prove that it was possible to rise out
"of the deep" but lie sank again, help
less and hopeless.
The best monograph on the opium
habit written in America was the work
of brilliant man of letters, who be-
lieved himself cured, yet died its vic
tim. Most of our readers can recall at
least one opium drmkard whom they
have known. The livid, corpse-like-
skin, the CLASSY eye, the vague air of
terror, are unmistakable. They are
signs that the nightmare, life-in-death
has seized its prey, and is dragging it
surely down to the grave.
