READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE RAINY DAY.,

Boys, youth too fast is ieeting,
Lies glad morning can not last,
And the moments, swift retreating,
Warn us that twill o be past.
There will come a sure declining, g.
And l would this to you say:
While the sun is brightly shining,
Don't forget the ,uiny day.
Sunshine can not last forever,
Storms will come, and winds wage strife
Aud as sure will dark clouds gather
On the horizon Of life.
Let us, then, in youth remember
Lift is not one long, bright May;
Sure will come the drear December,
Sure will come the rainy day.
AS the busy bee doth gather
In bright days her winter store,
So should WE for life's bleak weather
Garner ere the summers DER.
Yes. ere LIES bright spring 10th leave us
Let us strive aside to lay
Something that ma shelter give us,
When Shall come the rainy day.

The New Millinery Fabrics and How They
Are Ornamented.

The New Millinery Fabrics and How They
Are Ornamented.
EtinceNe, Or sparkling tinsel, is seen
in all kinds of millinery fabrics, from
the most diaphanous tulle to the heavi-
est plush or wool goods. These tinsel
threads are of every colored metal.
copper, gold. lead or silver, spun out
to marvellous thinness, and wrapped
over silk to make them durable; they
are then used for most elaborate EN-
broideries in '~'all-over" designs on all
sorts of materials. Flower designs are
those most seen, but palms, scrolls, rug
designs, cashmere patterns. and the
Greek key borders are also used, both
ON wide ''piece goods" and on the
narrower ribbons and sashes. The use
of gold for decorations will therefore
be less than it is ut present, while cop
per, lead and other baser metals will
give a less tawdry and more quiet tone
to the costly winter fabrics. There are
also many metallic combinations that
are new to the mi.liner, such as a wide
gilt ribbon dotted all over with seed
like beads of plomb, copper or jet, and
with Topped or picot edges, on which
are strung larger faceted beads of the
metal used in the fine seed-likc beads
with which the surface is powdered.
Beads OF all kinds will be used again,
especially ploanb and jet beads. and the
special novelty is the introduction Of
carved wooden beads or buttons, in dull
brown and red woods, strung all over
GALLONS and ribbons in the midst Of
boucle silks and woolens. A charming
melange OF colors is given in these gal
looms that have green, red and blue
silk or wool loops as large as tho
wooden beads that are thickly set among
them. In these, as in all new stlTs,
mixtures of red with green, giving a
tawny coloring, are commended by
Partisan merchants. -Harper's Eazar.

Henry Ward Beecher, now on a lect-
uring tour at the south, has given ut
terance to his views concerning the re-
5lations between whites and blacks.
While firmly maintaining equal rights
under the laws for both races, and es-
pecially those guaranteed to freedmen,
he was explicit upon one Or two points.
He said, he did anot thiuk it wise that
whites ard blacks should mix blood,
yet it is their right and liberty to do SO
IL they choose. But it is to be dis
couraged on the grounds Of humanity:
The slaves are free; they must come
under the universal Law. As to their
social position, no Legislation can put
ignorance and knowledge on q level,
Incidence and industry, virtue and vice,
rndeneas and refinement. The house

Commissioner Of Labor Wright has
sketched out the plan of work he pro-
poses to undertake the coming season,
and the readiness with which Secretary
Lamar falls in with the prospectus in
dicates that the labor bureau will re-
main in Mr.. Wright's charge for at
least . year. The commissioner intends
TO devote the coming months to an in
quiry into the cause and cure Of "hard
times" which, as he says, is "the con-
stitntional disease so for as the labor
question is concerned" So long as the
times are prosperous and business is
brisk, labor shares in the sunshine.
But then come darker days; trade falls
off, shops are closed, wages are reduced
animosities are excited between capital
and labor, there are strikes, violence
and distress. It will be the first inquiry
OF the bureau to seek the reasons for
these industrial depressions and discoy-
er, il possible, their remedy. For this
purpose the bureau will study the po-
litical, socia, and moral questions in
yolyed Id labor depressions both in
This country and ID others.
