ing and at the same time instructive.

ETNhe distinctive reputation of Lippincott's
L Magazine as 'teminently readable will,
it is trusted, be confirmed and extended dur
ing the coming year. The special aim of its
conductors is to secure such treatment of the
great variety of topics embraced within its
scope as shall render it attractive to the gen.
eral mass of intelligent readers, favorite in
the family circle, and means of culture as
well as of entertainment.
While fiction, in the form of serials and of
short stories, holds prominent place in its
pages, it has gained particular notice by its
sketches Of travel and adventure, studies of
life and character, and articles on natural his
tory and other scientific SUBJECTS, written with
the freshness that comes from personal Obser-
walton and experience, in lively style, and
with abundant anecdotal illustrations.
One of the chief attractions will be a fasci-
mating Serial Story, to commence in the Janu-
airy number, entitled
1.-THE JEWEL IN THE LOTUS"
by Mary Agnes Thicker, author of ''Signor
Monadldini's Niece" Ry the Tiber,' ETC., in
which the interest will be found to centre on
three finely contrasted female characters,
Italian, English, and American, and which, be
sides many exquisite pictures of Italian life
and scenery, embOdies the writer's matured
views on some of the leading questions of the
day
In the other features of the Magazine the
union of literary excellence with popular at

A ROMANCE OF MARYLAND.
A Sister of Daniel DeFoe Leaves a Love-

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times tells an interesting romance of the
olden times in letter from Calvert, Nd,
which was originally called Brick Meet

establish colony of his followers in this
portion of his possessions, granted the
land upon which the meeting house stands
together with two. score acres surround
ing it. The meeting house is curious
old structure, of half brick and half stone,
The former portion is the original house;
the latter was erected in 1850. 1t is two
stories high, and has been visited by fire
a number of times. Old-fashioned bolts.
bars, hinges and woodwork add an an
tique appearance to it's exterior. Indoors
high, straight-back benches, sliding divi-

wood bear the marks of years of frequent
usage. Everything connected with the
old building is clothed in stiffness and

DECAY OF THE DUDE.

Artemus Ward, returning to the 'buz-
yum of his family, at Baldwinsville, In
jeanny," found his daughter seated at
the piano singing "Why Do the Summer
Roses Fade ?" and he hazarded the opin-
ion-"bekoz it's their little biz-let 'em
fade"
Whether this is the correct answer to
the conumdrum or not, it is certain that
all fresh, tender young things must wilt
away and vanish.
So We are now notified that the Dude
must go.
Just as we have really learned to know
him, to become familiar with mis- simple
little ways and his harmless idiocies of
manner and costume, we are informed
that fashion has decreed his extinction.
He has had his little day of bud and
blossom, and is now fading into the sere
and yellow leaf.
Already the major part of the true
Dudes have abandoned most of the dis
tinctive garb and uniform Of the order.
The rolled-brim hat, the white CATERS
the tooth pick shoes, and the abbreviate
''top-coat," are no longer signs whereby
we may know with any degree of GER
tainty the youth of between twenty and
twenty seven, whose Inheritance of
money and brains is clearly out of pro-
p,Ition.
The impecunious dry-goods clerks and
even the low salaried elevator boo has
Caught on" to these peculiarities of
personal attire, and now appear arrayed
as erstwhile were the listless and lam
guild young drones, whose daily bread
and fine raiment were provided for them
by their fathers, frugality and thrift.
| This is sufficient. The Dudes COM
| placency was never ruffled in the least
| by the merciless food of ridicule poured
out upon him, but he fades like morning
frost at the first sun, when he finds his
little peculiarities successfully initiated
by "cads" who commit the crime of
earning their own living.
Not that we are rid of the young man
himself. We shall always have him, as
long as rich men 60 on doing as they
have done since the beginning of time
that is, expanding all their brains in
getting wealth, and having none left to
communicate to their offspring. The
only difference will be that next year
they will not be called Dudes, but be
designated by some other bit of slang,
just as they will be distinguished by
some other extravagances of dress and
department.
