Pinins for Undross Receptions.

Gath" writes from Washington:
Everybody in Washington looks to
Garfeld's Inauguration with delight,
as being more gorgeous and joviol
than Hayes's. At Hayes last. .recep-
ton there was but one woman with
bare arms and back, and If she had
been as naked as an egg she could not
have looked queerer. There was g
time when the glowing shoulders NOV
ing down the east room made it look
like the pummicel deck Of ship, and
men were giving away in marriage by
regiments, because to look was 70 be
lost. Now they go buttoned to the
throat, and even pull the halr down
over their foreheads, lest they might
exceed the bounds Of modesty. New
ertheless, the population increases, as
by { sort of divine arithmetic, and
there are people bold enough to say
that if Mrs. Hayes did not button hel
Puritan gown 50 close up on her milk
white throat she would be perfectly
magnificent. We are pining for IN.

Aprons have become artistic and

4 Camp-Meeting Anecdote.

An incident of camP-meeting life,
detailed by a Clergyman on q BaIti-
more steamboat, Is thus reported IN
Forest and Stream;
An old couple had supplied them
selves with a bottle Of pennyroyal oil
with which to keep off the moaqui-
toes. They extinguished their light
and retired, forgetting the antidote.
The mosquitoes we're very bad,
and, after standing it as long as they
could, the old lady got up and got a
welI-flled ink-bottle instead Of the
oil, and gave the old gentleman a
thorough lubricating with the fluid,
face, hands and feet; she then anoint-
ed herself in ike manner.
They again essayed - court the
drowsy god, but could only get an oc
casional nap. Finally, the old lady
got up and struck a light. Giving q
glance at the bed she had just left
she beheld, 10 her horror, a colored
person. as she supposed, stretched ii
the place of her spouse.
She quietly got the poker, and bea
the old fellow over the head before
discovering her mistake. Later on il
the night we found the old couple Of
board the boat with US, he with hi
head nearly as big as q bale Of hay
and she caring for him with the great

shelter behind a stump and at once
opened fire. His first shot killed the
reb's horse, and then he, too, got be-

Neither Of them could expect to get

persons than was absolutely necessary
while taking aim. They fired per

when he was elected President he was
not s. total abstinence man, and did
not become so until some months after
he had entered upon his office as
President. Seeing the evils resulting
from intemperance in official life. he
became a total abstainer, and has op-
posed the use Of intoxicating liquors by
precept and example. Neither he nor
any one of his family, which includes
three sons who are voters, uses liquor
in any form. Whilst some among Us

Never word is said
But it trembles in the air
And the trusnt voice has sped
To Yibratc everywhere;
And perhaps far off in eternal years
The echo may ring upon eur ears.
Never are kind actS done
TO giPe the Eeeping eyes,
Bat like nashes Of the sun
They signal to the skies;
And up above the angels re=d
How We haye helped she sorcr need.
Never day is given
But it tones the after years
And it carries up to heaven
It's sGns'iao or il tears,
While the to-morrows stand and wait,
The silent mutes by she eutcr gate.
There is no end to the sky,
And t!tc.stars are everywhere
And time is eternity,
And the here is over there.
For the common deeds of the common day
Are ringing bells in the far-awsy.
