AS WE ALL ARE.

We have all known what it is to have
the "cold shoulder" turned upon us.
We are taken up with our own individ-
uality so completely that we forget
other people. Who does not know what
it is, when casually falling with couple
of friends, to see them smile signiti-
cantly to each other, and then accord him
a colder greeting than he expected; or
who has not heard knot of his acquain-
tances chuckle with ill.concealed mirth
when he left them? Ii anyone has es-
capped such fate, has he never found
the conversation of friend cold and
abrupt when he had hoped it would he
sympathetic and familiar? Is there
man so lucky that he has never been
made to feel that he was in the way
when paying call? Have not most of
us occasionally found that our most in
teresting communications have been
responded to by vacant "Really,"
whilst our best stories have failed 10
provoke smile? Do not friends who
once signed themselves "Yours very
afieciionately" now conclude their let
ters with chilling "Yours truly?
The old nicknames are dropped, and
the old familiar illusions not touched
upOn.

aARIIELD's SAYINGS

A pound ofpluck is worth n ton Of
luck.
Liberty can be safe only when suffrage
is illuminated by education.
The granite hills are not so change
less and abiding as the restless sea.
Great ideas travel slowly, and for
time noiselessly, as the gods whose feet
were shod with wool.
Wa no longer attribute the untimely
death of infants to the sin of Adam, but
to bad nursing and ignorance.
Throughout the whole web of national
existence we trace the golden thread of
human progress toward n higher and
better estate.
The flowers that bloom over the gar
den wall of party politics are the sweet
est and most fragrant that bloom in the
gardens Of this world.
Poverty is uncomfortable, as l can
certify; but nine times out Of ten, the
best thing that can happen to young
man is to be tossed overheard and COM
PEELED to sink or swim for himself.
Political parties, like poets, are born
not made. No act of political mechan-
les, however wise, can manufacture to
order and make a platform, and put
q party on it which will live and -four
ish.
After the fire and blood of the battle
field have disappeared, nowhere does
war show its destroying power so GER
tainly and so relentlessly as in the
columns which represent the expendi-
lures of the nation.
I look forward with Joy and hope to
the day when our brave people, one in
heart, one in their aspirations for free
dom and peace. shall see that the dark
ness through which wo have travelled
was but a part of that stern but benef-
cent discipline by which tho Great Dis
poser of events has been leading us on,
to higher and nobler national life.
The man who wants to serve his country
must put himself in the line of its lead
ing thought, and that is, the restoration
of business, trade, commerce, industry,
sound political economy, hard money
and honest payment of all obligations;
and the man who can add anything in
the direction of the accomplishment of
any OF these purposes is public bene-
factor.

Chiidren's Modes.

Chiidren's Modes.
The newest dresses are in quaint
Mother Hubbard shapes, and are Worn
by children of two years and upwards.
They are made of white cambrics, or
nainsooks, or of soft, light wool which
shirr and hang prettily. They are
shired on the shoulder in the shape OF
A. For woold resses the skirt is simply
hemmed, and a yoke, or more often
shirred on to plain yoke. A quaint
little coat sleeve with puff wide sash
of the material is tied around the waist,
not low down on the hips as was form.

quently no sash is worn, the waist being
outlined by band of shirring. No more
lovely picture can be painted by an art.

three or four in a plain, blue dress OF
this style, her hair hanging in waves
over her shoulders and cut in square
bang, in puritan style, across the fore.
head, deep collar and broad cuffs OF
rich lace forming the perfect relief
to her quaint little gown. Dresses OF
white muslin, which should be worn till
the child is two years old, are often
finished with insertions and edgings of
Carickmacross or duchesse embroidery.
The duchesse work is the sameas that OF
the Carrickmacross, except that the
latter Stimulates the rich arabesques of
Irish lace, while the former is wrought
in the leaf and bower designs of old
duchesse point. White dresses for older
children are made in this style, with
the addition of a shirring at the waist
line, which is covered by sash of cash
mere wool in any stylish, bright color,
or by sash of surah silk. These sashes
are not broad ribbons, but are made of
piece goods doubled and sewed together
or single and hemmed at the sides.
Long and short baby-dresses are begin
ming to be made with plain hens,
with yokes which are round,
square or heart-shaped, or even these
little dresses are made in Mother Hub
bard style. The handsomest of these
are of nansook trimmed with duchesse
embroidery and insertions, and edgings
of Maltese lace. Some of the handsom-
est French costumes imported for chill
dren over two years of age, are formed of
long straight coats in some light, gay
colored wool, draped with a sash at the
back, and turned back in front in revers
to disclose vest of watered silk in con-
trasting color like the sash. A coat of
gray cloth is dmped at the back with a
brown sash and opens in front over
moire vest OF brown silk. All the rich
fabrics imported for their mammas, even
the heavy plowed and figured pushes,
are reproduced for children in trim
mings and quaint little coats.

simple, plain bang across the forehead.
The rest of the hair is drawn straight
back and falls in natuml-looking waves;
it can be braided in two braids once a
week, which will make it wavy enough
for style. 1t is well known that crimp-
ing the hair too often is very injurious.
A narrow ribbon is passed entirely
around the head to keep the hair in
place, and tied in bow at tho left
side.

HAPPY THOUGHTS.

Richter considers that the best anti
dote against moral depression can be
found in the habit of calling up the
memory of our brightest moments in the
dark hours of dependency, so that in
the dusty struggle and turmoil of daily
business we may carry with US the puri-
flying influence OF a high idea of human
conduct fervitly and powerfully express

materials imported by our merchants
deserve to be made up in palmer and
simpler STYLES, and no doubt the taste Of
American ladies' will demand and create
such fashions for themselves, as il has
done on other occasions when French
styles were unsatisfactory. The first
skeleton OF the hoopskirt, which these
heavy materials seem TO demand, is seen
in skirts OF mohair which partly support
the skirt. There are no hoopskirts cy'
hibited in first.class houses, and II is
likely that the winter will pass without
any revival of the use Of crinolinc. But
il the stiff materials, like the moire an.
tique, heavy brocades and English sorg-
ts remain in vogue, it is doubtful
whether we shall not see still fuller
skirts with crinoline before another
year is out, A few lonely individuals
have appeared in the streets with skirts
supported by hoops. But this is not
enough to start STYLE and the leaders
of fashion do not yet show any desire
to return to the tyranny of the hoop.
