Two Cincinnati ladies, who had lately
returned from trip abroad, were exchang-
ing opinions in reference to the famous pic
lures they had seen. "Give me the Recon
naissance school of art, exclaimed one, $50
full of sympathy, Of poetry; SO different
from the Pre- -Rachelite." "It's very true
what you say" observed the other, "but as
for me, just dote on the Dustledrop school,

DRESS CHILDREN NEATLY.

No child is prettier for an elaborate de-
sign of dress. A single ruff1e at the edge OF
the skirt does very well, but it is quite as
we'll without it. And to cut up the tiny
space of a child's dress with loopings and
trimmings and ornament seems to us to
make them look like moneys. Not even
the sash is beautiful for child. A child is
constructed first of all to eat, that it may
grow; to receive impressions, that it may
learn; therefore the head and stomach are
large in proportion to the rest of the body.
When the little figure is nude, SO that the
soft. feshy form can be we'll seen, all this is
beautiful; but to emphasize in the draped
form of the child the large stomach by a
broad sash is utterly against all rules of
beautiful, but to show the legs by cutting
off the dress at the hips is immensely awk-
ward, and seems chiefly to serve to display
the drawers, which are not beautiful gar
ment, and should be entirely hidden. Be-
side this, in Winter our climate is wholly in
appropriate for any such exposure, and we
shall best see the beauty of healthy child
in the easy, untrammeled motion as it moves
about in simple dress (of as handsome
material as you like, provided that it is un'
trimmed, which is long enough to be warm
and loose enough to be comfortable. If you
want your children to be graceful, let them
be unconscious; if you want them to be
healthy, let them be sufficiently warm. Nc
woman can have fine complexion who as
child hae boon habitually chilled, and We
see in the Winter many children who seem
literally to have nothing on them from the
waist down. They could much better af
ford to put it the other way, and wear moth
ing from the waist up, the lungs and heart
being at less expense to ward the upper por
ton of the body than the legs, which are
further away from them.-Harper's Maya

THE IMMORTAL MIND.

What coldness wraps this suffering clay,
All, whittier strays the immortal mind?
1t cannot die, it cannot stay,
But leaves its darkened dust behind.
Their, embodied, doth it trace
BY steps each planets heavenly way?
Or fill at once the realms of space,
A thing of eyes, that all survey?
Eternal, boundIess, undecayed,
A thought unseen, but seeing all
All, all in earth or skies displayed,
Shall itsurvey, shall ii recall.
Each fainter trace that memory holds
So darkly Of departed years
In one broad glance the soul beholds,
And all that was at once appears.
Before creation peopled earth
Its eyes shall roll through chaos back,
And where the farthest heaven had birth
The spirit traces its rising track,
And where the future mars or makes
Its glance dilate Ger all to be,
While sun is quenched or system breaks,
Fixed in its own eternity.
Above for love, hope, hate or fear,
1t lives all passionless and pure.
An age shall feet like earthly year;
It's years as moments shall endure.
Away, away, without wing,
Der all, through all, its thoughts shall
fly,
A nameless and eternal thing.
Forgetting what Il was to die.
