East paY.

In an interview with reporter for the
Boston Record upon the question whether or
not Fast Day should be no longer observed
owing to the fact that by many people the
original purpose of the day is disregarded
and it is given up to sports and pleasure, Rev
DR.. Thomas Hill of this city said 81 think
it almost entirely question of time and
place as to whether Fast Day should be
given up. For my part l should dislike to
lose the opportunity of preaching on Fast
Day. On that day always preach purely
religious discourse, and always have a fair
sized congregation. Still, wherever Fast
Day has become day of jollity and sports
think it would be better to discontinue it. l
do not object to the holiday, but do object to
the governor of the State calling for religious
observance on that day, and then having it
observed as a mere holiday.
Rev. Henry Blanchard said he too would
like to use the day for religious worship. He
said that he for one was resolved always to
maintain religious services on Thanksgiving
Day, whether 500 people or only one person
attended "But considering that the tendency
to misuse the day is so great to check which
seems to me to be beyond the power of the
clergy, am reluctantly in favor said Mr..
Blanchard ''of abolishing Fast Day."

children untainted blood in exchange for
interrupted brain, nobility for
ouritv. and character for deathless love?
And lastly | answer to DR.. Withers-
Moore that God in his in. c u able and
mysterious providence, has always given
men and women more children than thew
could or cared to keep alive, and more
children than they could train to lives of
10y and power. Graveyards are full of
the victims of household ignorance, and
society is everywhere imperled with the
helpless outcome of domestic incompe-
tency.
Be a woman wife or widow, she
should be queen regnant Of her home.
Inthe one case, help-meet for her hus-
band, like Mrs Aston, who sketched the
plan that made her husbands fortune ::
like Madame Galyani, who pointed out
to the renowned discoverer the phenome-
naWhich led him to his famous battery
like Mrs Fawcett, who became eyes to
thebEnd and helped her husband to his
career of thinker and of StateSman. Or,
il she has children, she must be ruler and
companion of them like Susanna Wes
ley and Elizabeth Fry, like Abigail
Adams and Pauline Guizot, like the
mother of Goethe and the mother of John
RasSln, If she is widowed by death,
orworSe, she must bear alone the whole
burden of the household. Franklin in
his pithy way praises the Dutch habit
Of educating girls, because partner of
his dying, the widow, who had been
trained in Holland, took charge Of the
business and succeeded with it fal better
than her husband.
Tell me-iS there in all this world
morepitiable sight than widow, with
ner orphans helpless among thieves who
Call themselves trustees and squander

One of the dress bonnets meant for
autumnal wear is of cream velvet with
folds OF scarlet velvet along the edge,
and having a white and scarlet bow for
trimming, The contrast between the
two materials and the effect of the va
rleties oftint afforded by the folds is a
thing to be remembered, but if one can
not afford to buy it, consolation may be
found in looking into that street

"A very rlCh material called the Louis
Velveteen has obtained such vogue in
the fashionable circles of London and
Paris that, to secure themselves against
limitations seeking to take advantage of
its popularity, the manufacturers have
been obliged to stamp upon the back of
every yard which they make their trade
MARIA griffin's head, with their mot
to mos aspera juvant, and also the
name Louis Velveteen in plain letters.
The merits of this velveteen as compar-
ed with that ofother makers are so great
that it is undoubtedly destined to find ex-
ceptional favor in this country. Costing
one-fourth the price of Lyons silk velvet,
it is the most perfect stimulation of this
rich material in texture, color, gloss
and finish, 1t is soft and pliable, and
hangs in graceful folds, rejecting the
light with silky sheen. Being at the
same time hardy and enduring in its
qualities, it is much more serviceable for
various occasions and uses than the cost
ly and delicate velvet of silk, and has
thus character of its own redeeming it
from the reproach of being a mere imi-
tation. The Louis Velveteen is dyed
after a new process, and its colorS do
not fade or spot with the rain, nor does
it crease. The Louis vclveteen is man
utactured in all the fashionable shades
as we'll as in the distinctive rich blue
black ofthe Lyons velvet.
