VANITY FAIR, -
All the v orld's a wardrobe,

All the worlds wardrobe,
And An the girls and women merely wearers.
They have their fashions and their fantasies,
And one she in her time wears many garments
Through ut Der seven stages. First, the BABY,
Refriled and brodered in the nurses arms.
And then the trim -hosed school girl, with her
hounccs
And Sun al- boy scornng face, tripping, skirt-wag-
Cling
Coauettishly to school. And then the flrt,
Oglng like Gree. with business 9ttade
Kent on her low5cut corset. Then bride,
Full Of strange fnery, vestured like an angel,
Yelled vigorously vet vigilant of glance
Seeking the womanis heaven--admirati0n y
Even at the affairs steps. And then the matron
In fair rich velvet. with suave satin lined
With eyes severe, and skirts of youthful cut,
Full of dress saws and modish instances
To teach her girls their ways. The sixth age
shifts
Into the gray yet gorgeous grandmamna,
With gold pi,ce-nez on nose, and fan at SIDE
Her youthful tastes still strong, and worldly
wise
In sumptuary law her quivering voice
Pressing Of fashion and lie Foiiet, pipes
OF robes and bargain rare. Last scene OF all
That ends the SEX Gibde.swayed history,
Is second childishness and sheer oblivion
Of youth. taste, passion, all-save love of dress.

which, instead of blooming SATISFACTORY
ly during the winter, will take long
time to recover, and never be worth as
much as new plants for cuttings. Such
plants may be pre- pared for, this month,
and with very little trouble. OF course
those who have greenhouses with ap-
pliances for propagating, need no di-
rections. but many lovers of flowers
have to content themselves with such
plants as may be grown in the windows
of their living rooms. These become
attached to their plants, and when one
is set out in the bed, they expect it
back again. When such plant goes
out, consider it thrown away, for it
may as well be, and set about replac-
ing it. The following method will
give few plants with little trouble.
Take a common store box, such as q
starch or soap-box, knock of both COW
er and bottom, and, if need be,
strengthen it with extra nails. Tack
over this piece of cotton cloth, and
the frame will be ready. Select a
place where the soil is light and sandy,
or, if the ground is all stiff, spade in
some sand or coal, dust, to make it light
and open, and place the frame ever it.
If cuttings of geraniums, cupheas, ver-
benas, or othel such plants are placed
in the soil and covered with the frame,
they will soon take root and form nice
specimens, which, when they begin to
grow, may be potted and be ready for
winter. If the frame is where it will
be shaded at midday, all the better
if not, tilt it little when the sun is
very hot, to give ventilation and pre-
vent overbeating. american Agricul-

Those who have small greenhouses
or cultivated flowers in their windows
have set out their geraniums and other
quick growing plants for summer.
Many make the mistake OF taking up
these plants in autumn, after they have
grown all the season in the open ground,
and potting them, to be replaced in the
window or greenhouse. The result
will be "long-legged, . nnisshspen plants,

The girl turned her head slightly as
these words We're spoken, and as her
lissome figure, with its rounded curves
and beautiful flesh tints, stood sharply
outlined, clear and perfect as a cameo,
in the moonbeams that were falling in
a silver spray through the branches of
the linden trees, the sight was indeed
a pretty one. George W. Simpson
looked at her earnestly a moment, and
saw that tears were yelling up in the
dusky brown eyes, and sobs that could
not be restrained convulsing the girlish
form.

"The sweet summer is dying. There
are hollows in her fair cheeks; a pa.

dark shadows beneath the lovely eyes.
And already across the hazy hills au-
tumn peers; berry stains Oh her brown,
sim fingers, purple vines trailing about
her. scarlet buds and golden rod for the
coronal, and broken reed for her
sceptre. Already the hollows are
brimmed with amber haze and the hill
tops crowned with blue smoke. The
sun looks languidiy through dream
clouds; q yellow leaf falls here d

gestions that are mournful," said
George, "but surely there is one gleam
Of hope, one little ray of golden sun

fashion, he whispered a word in her
ear.
A smile chased away the respondent

The Omaha Republican says that
Nebraska has had this year the best
distributed rainfall in its history-that
the early spring rains covered every
portion Of the State, and the showers
since then have been of frequent oc-
currence and spread over nearly the
entire territory. Zone thing is certain, "
the Republican adds, Nebraska is no
longer Il rainless any more than ii is a
timberless State, and we shall continue
to improve in both as the years come
and 60, making the question of crops a
matter about which there will be no

Charles f. Fessenden, of Maine, has
in his possession mum Der of manu-
script sermons which once belonged to
his grandfather, the Rev. VIM. Fessen-
den, who was one of the pioneer cler-
gymen of Maine in the latter years of
the last century. The peculiarly OF
these sermons is that they are written
in an exceedingly fine hand and on one
sheet of ordinary letter paper. 1t must
have been a great surprise to the
backwoodsmen of that day to hear a
sermon nearly an hour long preached
from four small pages.

QUE -4NNUAL NUMBER.

The issue Of the GLOBE on Dec. 81, con-
tanning the annual review Of the progress
O f St. Paul IL 1882, will afford a rare op-
% ortunity for advertisers. The edition
will be an immense one, and comprising
three sheets, as it will, involves much labor
for its mechanical production. Advertisers
desiring to take advantage of this issue
should send in their copy at an early day,
that it may be properly arranged and CLASH
fed. The advertiser who is early in sup
plying copy will secure the choicest space.
The copy should certainly be sent in as
early as the 9th to ensure handling in a
proper manner.

KING CAUCUS.

Caucus and anti-capcus seems to be
lively issue springing up in the Repub-
lican ranks of Minnesota just now. All
the advocates of boss rule stand by the
caucus, as sanctioned and sanctifed by
party machine precedent, while the anti
caucus faction denounce the caucus as q
ssring" expedient to defeat the peoples
will. They claim that members of the
legislature, coming here for the people,
should vote for United States Senator, for
example, directly, without Intervention of
the iron-clad caucus. Thus the
people through their immedi-
ate representatives unbought and
unbiased, make choice of their Senators
and other high Offices; while a eau
Gus, manipulated by machine
ring, at variance with the popular will. Sc
cures the promotion of one of its clique.
The opponents of the caucus ask why a
majority of a party caucus, constituting
but small minority of the legislature,
should be permitted to dictate to, or con-
troll the choice of that body. They claim
that this is anti-republican and undemo-
cratic and in opposition to the great
principle that majorities shall rule
It is noteworthy fact that all the stick
lers for a caucus are supporters of Mr.
Window. while all opposed to caucus are
opposed to his being his own successor.
The success of Mr.. Windom will depend
upon the perfect, well fabricated working
of the caucus machinery. If that ma
chinery is deranged or smashed, and the

nesota than the ex-secretary of the treasu-

do honor to the sovereignty of the leading
state of the Northwest in the national
senate.
The sentiment in opposition
to the caucus system seems
to be strong and increasing, judged by the
expressions of the Republican newspapers
throughout the state, large number of
which, may be fairly set down as vigor-
ously opposed to caucus rule.

The change in the Omaha road is a
matter which may prove to be of especial
significance to St. Paul. 1t can be counted
the same as a consolidation with the
Northwestern, and it will not be surprising
if the Omaha should, in short time, cease
to have separate corporate existence.
What line of policy will be pursued can
only be conjectured, but it is certain that
St. Paul is now chained to the Chicago
chariot by two great trunk lines. The
change will not be harmful, but is not
likely to improve the advantages of st.

GEN. BRINKERHoFF's story of Blaine's
bad faith towards Garfield on the occasion
of the formers elevation to the speaker
ship is, unfortunately for the Maine states
man, we'll founded. Notwithstanding his
popularity Blaine has become notorious as
purely selfish politician, whose promises
are made only to be broken. He makes
during canvass pledges that he knows he
can never fulfill, and after using his
friends for his own advancement he allows
them to whistle for their rewards. It is
related of him that, during a hard fought
campaign for seat in congress, he prom
ised the collectorship of the port Of Port
land to thirteen different men in case of
his election. He was successful, and after
the count of the votes he summoned all
of those to whom he had promised
the Office to meet at his rooms at the same
hour. Each arrived confident that the
conference was merely for the purpose of
determining the date upon which he
should assume the Office. What was the
surprise of the thirteen when Blaine, with
the utmost sang froid, told them that he
had promised the same Office to each of
them. and asked them to decide among
themselves who the lucky man should be-.
There was prospect of first class row.
but the impudence of the proposition was
SO ridiculous that good nature was restored
and the claimants drew lots for the Office,
the man who drew the prize being ap-
pointed through Blaine's influence.
Such things may pass unnoticed once in
the lifetime of politician, but if per-
sisted in will be sure to bring him to
grief
