Childhood is the miracle of the ages.
Joy is q moth with wings of dust.
To grow old TO men is to become
young to the angels.
Womans friendship is theory that
never yet has been put to practice.
The pages Of our lives that to the
world seem darkest, in Gods eyes may
be luminous as stars.
Fame is to give our hearts blood, that
violet may bloom from our dust in an
hundred years.
The years are usurers that fitch us OF
beauty, and love, and joy, and give us
no coin in return.
To guilty soul the fall of a leaf
sounds like the crack of doom.
Spring is the sunrise of the year;
death is the sunrise of the soul.
Love leaves more ruin in his path
than war.
Imagination is the perfume of the
mind,
Fate is the dark shadow that forever
crosses our sunshine,
When the Devils garments are
whitest he means the most mischief.
Harmony is Gods voice in the soul.
Revenge is the brutality of a little
mind: FANNY DRIsCoLL.

Concerning Gloves.

The style of dress for ceremonial oc-
casions have undergone several marked
changes within few years. The arts
tocracy and people of family in England,
for no other reason thatwe can see than
because Mrs. Mushroom ShOddy, and
Mrs. Greengrocer, and Mrs. Tallow
Chandler had as much money to spend
as they, and could initiate them in cost
ly attire and ornament, introduced a
marked innovation upon the style of
dress for weddings and parties. Gloves
were omitted, the fair white hand of the
real lady and gentleman" thereby
making noticeable contrast to the
stubby red member of the plebian par
ties who initiated them. The plainest
morning suits were chosen instead of
full dress, that the difference in manner
and carriage might be the more strong
ly marked.
This fashion was soon adopted here.
In the most elegant circles gentlemen
appeared without gloves, carried opera
hats to parties and balls, wore frock
coats, red cravats, and lavender-colored
pantaloons for full-dress parties and re-
ceptions, and many stylish weddings
were celebrated where the lady, other
wise in full bridal attire, had bare hands,
and the groom was dressed as if he was
just going to the races. At balls the
same fashion was introduced, and we
have seen the full imprint of many a
bare, sweaty hand on the back of light
silk of exquisite hue, where the lady had
received this mark from the gentleman
who had been her partner in the waltz.
The first to rebel against this custom
was the society at Washington. The
wives and daughters of the Senators and
Judges put their heads together and
voted the fashion vulgar and unbecom.
ing. Since then there has been de-
cided reaction against it everywhere;
and, although it is adhered to BY some,
the more digniiied and sensible of those
who give tone to society throughout the
country have gone back TO nearly the
full dress of the previous order At the
same time the stiff rule having once
been broken, there is more independence
than formerly in attire on ceremonial
occasions, and people of standing are
allowed without severe criticism TO CON
suit their own tastes and preferences as
10 style and detail. --NeW York Journal
Of Commerce.
