MOTIVE.

II your purpose is high, and your aim is
pure,
And you toll with patience, and wait and
pray,
tell you that work will endure-endure-
And it matters little what men may say.
A swarm of insects may dim the skies
Till the sun seems Swallowed and overcast;
But clouds that are only the wings OF flies
Must yield to the power of light at the last.
Nothing noble can be downtrod.
And nothing worthy long hidden from
sight:
Back OF this Universe stands God,
And He moves all things by the lever of
Right.
1t takes true motive to make true art
Art without motive lives but for day
And where there 10 purpose, and feeling, and
heart,
1t can not perish though worlds decay.
Keep up your courage, and work and wait,
o, toilers who toll with an aim sublimel
The eyes Of the years shall discriminate,
And read your purpose Alright In time.

in the spring.
Cuffs as well a. linen collars are
again fashionable.
Corsages will be shirred on the Shout
ders in the spring.
Feather and lace fans are the pref
test for ballroom and opera use.
Plain black silk, faille and gros grain,

Round waists and belts la Joseph
inc are by no means ont of fashion.
A novel fancy in mems wear is vel
vet bindings on dressy day suits.
Ball dresses are loaded with flowers,
natural and artificial, this season.
The catogan couture is in high favor
in Paris, but not in New York as yet
Old-fashioned round boas, very long
and large. are coming in vogue again.
Mems shoes, to be fashionable, must
be pointed at the toe and low in the
heel.
China gauze broche with small figures
comes among other ball dress novelty
fabrics.
Imitation straw hats, made of braids
of plated felt, are among late millinery
novelties.
Open work Scotch plaids are to be
worn in the spring, cut into lengths for
trimming plain stuffs.
Tulle dresses, with satin bodices of
the same color, will be the preferred
ball dresses of the season.
Silk Grape. spangled with gold and
silver tinsel, is shown for ball dress
draperies and entire skirts.
When ball dresses are cut low. in
heart shape, in the neck in front, they
are cut still lower in the some form in
the back.
A novel kind of ornament for the
hair is band of velvet set with West
Indian beetles in colored gold, alter
mating with gold sequins.
Ball dresses are slightly trained for
married women, but de rigueur short,
round, and full for young ladies and
enthusiastic dancers.
One of the novel fancies of this sea-
son in Paris is the wearing of straw
hats, but then they are heavily lined
with felt. cloth or velvet.
Russian coats with very high collars,
in the back of the neck especially, are
worn with those high toques orna-
mented with shaving-brush pompons.
The prettiest opera slippers are of
fine black or colorcd satin to match
the toilet, and beaded with jet or tinsel
on the toes. The heels are de rigueur
high.
Enormous capes and collars, worn
upon the cloaks and coats abroad, are
the outcome of the desire to shield the
bare nape Of the neck made by wearing
the hair on the top of the head.
Military pompons, looking like a
shaving brush Of exaggerated length,
trim the most popular hats, the high
toques of velvet, plush, astrakhan and
cloth, which are worn with tailor-made
suits by fashionable women.-M. y

SOUTH AMERICA.

Tremendous Commercial Importance Of
the Southern Peninsula.
Several of the nations of Europe keep
watchful eyes on South America. 1t il
vast and comparatively unoccupied
portion Of the earth's surface. Ger
mans, Italians and Portuguese, as well
as the English. keep up. close relations
with it. The trade is profitable and
large, while the number Of immigrants,
especially Italians, is steadily increas-
ing. Some of the South American
States are making rapid material prog
ress. Chill is a very wealthy nation.
Brazil has very promising future, and
the Argentine Confederation enjoys an
immense commerce. The South Amer
lean trade in dressed beef promises to
be immense in time. The magnitude
of this peninsula is not realized by our
people. South America is more than
double the size Of the United States.
The Empire of Brazil seems on the map
quite as large as Australia. 1t is twenty
four times the size of England. The
Argentine Republic is nearly as large
as Europe, taking Russia out. Bolivia
and Venezuela are each twice the size
of England; New Grenada and Peru
each as large as England and Scotland,
Ecuador something less, Paraguay
equal to Great Britain, Uruguay and
Chill about the same, and the little
known regions Of Patagonia and Terra
del Fuego at least double the dimen-
sions of Great Britain. British, French
and Dutch Guiana are nearly as large
as Great Britain. The United States
alone of all the nations has scarcely any
interest in South America. We pur-
chase of it coffee, leather and India
rubber, but our trade in return is a
mere nothing. Some day or other we
will wake up to the importance of cult
waiting business relations with the great
nations to the south Of ps.-Dsmorsst's
