Advancement of the Sash.

By far tho most fashionable way Of ar
ranging sash On low evening dancing
dress is in long ends reaching almost to the
hem, and two long loops placed at the back
OF the waist, the ribbon very wide indeed,
and MORE in preference to any other Some
times sash is brought across the front Of
the skirt, but only occasionally, and for the
Directoire style q broad sash belt goes round
the waist, even reaching to beneath the arm
pits, and invisibly shaped to the figure. But
women know that this style makes the figure
thick, and consequently avoid it.

bang; her back hair was slightly crimped al
most to the ends, and there it was curled on
papers, about seven curls being achieved.
1t was then brought forward, fastened down
with small amber pins just close to the bang,
the curls being pulled out enough to show
that they were curled, and yet SO well fast
ened with invisible pins that the effect was
perfect. Looked at from the back her head
seemed a mass Of fluffy hair, that yet was
not untidy looking: from the front, it seemed

THE WITNESSES.

Day by day in the opening meadow,
The cowslips swing their bells of gold;
And the young leaves throng Like merry CHILDREN,
TIE forest windows grim and old.
Lay by day, with blow that strengthens,
The sun god sm.:es the springing corn;
Doubly cool are the dews Of evening,
Doubly sweet is the breath of morn.
Day by Cay in the lower pastures
Heavier Inists at twilight fall
Tie sheaves stand thick on the short white
stubble,
The peaches glow on the orchard wall
Day by day, over hill and valley,
The sgowdakes wing their passage slow,
Cold white ghosts of the forest children
Dead in the tangled brakes below

A simple mode of keeping butter in warm
weather is to invert large crock of earth
enware, or flower pot, if need be varying
with the size of the vessel containing the
butter, over the dish or firl1in in which the
butter Is held. The porousness Of the earth
enware will keep the butter cool, and all the

People who pirate about the glorious

Peculiarly of the Dismal swamp

There was no one at Roper's sawmill
who could give US any information, so we
padded on 10 the village of Deep Creek,
before reaching which we passed through
another lock. Here the Dismal Swamp
proper may be said to begin. At this
lock we were again raised several feet, so
that we were now, although only a few
miles from tidal water, probably sixteen
feet above the sea level
Shall we pay toll here?" we asked the
locllman.
Not till you come out, he answered,
making it clear that there was only one
entrance and exit Oh this side Of the Dis
NAL Swamp.
Does the swamp berin here?'
Eyes, said the lockman, leaning at an
sngle of 20 dogs, and slowly pushing the
great beam with his back lit begins
here, and it runs all the way to Florida"
This was true, in way. The whole
southern coast is margined by swamp
lands; but the Dismal Swamp is not Of
them. 1t is high land instead Of low
land; its water is fresh, instead of salt
or bracl;ish. Among swamps it is an alb
aorMahty. IL leans over the sea, and vet
contains its own moisture, like bowl
Indeed. the Dismal Swamp is a great
bowl, forty miles long and ten to twenty
wide, and, strange to say, with its highest
water in the center. Tho sides of tho
bowl are miles of fallen and undecaying
trees, fixed in mortar OF melted leaves
and mold. Deep in the soft bosom Of
the swamp are countless millions OF feet
