opposition from those who blindly follow
wherever fashion leads seem rather to stimulate
than dampen the ardor of women who in the
matter of dress and IFS adorn.ngs dare to be
independent and tree, aud are infexibly bent on
being so. This is no new example Of wcman's
Will. During the reign of the coal-scuttle bonnet
and the amplitude Of crinoline there were found
scores OF women who wore head-coverngs OF
simple style. and followed modes of dress in
which the natural and graceful lines of beauty
were preserved without doing any violence to
really good taste, while at the same time serving
as decided protest against the prevalent
ungainly fashions of the period.

SWEET CHARITY's BOOM.

@BY DICK STEEL.
There's the Lincoln boom,
And the hogan boom,
And the boom for James G. Blaine;
And the Thurman boom,
And the Holman boom,
And the boom for What s-his-Name?
But of all the booms that are booming now,
Though many have gone to seed.
The rarest boom you will all allow,
Is the boom of a noble deed.
There's the Arthur boom, 7
And the Foiger boom,
And the boom for Gen. Grant;
And the Sherman boom.
And the Tilden boom
The rare old century plant
But above all booms that are becoming loud,
On the brink of the glad New Year,
Is the boom of the man with wealth endowed
Who is moved by the orphans tear.
There's the Edmunds boom,
And the Bayard boom.
The echoless boom of Malone;
The Hancock boom,
And the Randall boom,
And Buffers boom-all alone;
But of all the boons that are booming Wild
The purest. when all is said,
L. the plaintive boom of a little child:
Give us this day our daily bread"
There's the monied boom,
The 'infooence' boom.
The boom that is born Of pride;
The one-hoss boom.
The cheap John boom.
And the slckly boom, that died;
But of all the booms as they brightly gieam,
Blaze season. expire in gloom;
There's one much less like broken dream,
tbs known as Charity g Boom.

Breathes in the ear of day
The secret OF that great glory
That awaits her far away.

That shine more bright in the sun;
And voices whoss tone. it may be.
More smoothly and sweetly run.
And when over vale and meadow
Peace like mantle flows
Who dreams of the distant battle?
Who doubts the heart of the rose?
But when to night of sorrow
Rises day of scorn;

And out of the rose than.
When the soul is sick with thinking
