APPRoPRIATENEss IN DRESS.
The Charm OF Simple and Becoming

The Charm OF simple ana becoming
Attire.
To be becomingly dressed at home is
said to be test OF well-ordered mind.
Certainly it is au indication of correct
taste and orderly habits, and the utmost
care cannot be too highly commended,
especially for young ladies and girls.
The formation of habits of neatness
md a due regari for the prevailing
fashions in style and material, and the
adaptation of dress to circumstances
and occasions, should be carefully at
tended to in the education of young
persons, as by this means much vexa-
ton and no. end of trouble to their
friends as well as themselves will be
avoided
There are many very willful and
capricious Young women who entertain
the most absurd d.as as regards dress.
They are either vain and love display
which lie ads them to overdress often
times to a degree bordering On gro
tesaueness, or with an affectation of in
difference they profess to despise hand
some dresses, and will appear in society
in garments wholly inappropriate and

A tea-gown should not be worn IN
the evening or full-dress costume in
the morning. cACCPo oh SoAAS SPSSA"'

for the street is considered most inap,
propriate, and suggests the idea that

1t is the poorest taste, and shows
lack of discretion and proper training
to adopt anything like loud or con
sp:cuous style on the street or in pub
lie places. Such course subjects any
Young lady to the severest criticism,
and she has only herself to blame if she
suffers annoyance and insult from per
sons who only judge of character bJ

women, as a rule, are those who are
the most plainly dressed. and this is the
safest and best course to pursue.-N

Princeton, in the year 1777, and Wash-
ington and his little band of patriots
had made themselves safe in the rugged
hills of New Jersey.
Several miles from where the Amerf

slope of a wooded bluff overlookingH =
pleasant stream, stood the unpreter-
tious cabin Of Mrs. Ewing. .s.s =
She was the widow of Jasper Ewing,
a valiant patriot killed in the early part
of the revolutionary struggles. Here
she and her daughter, Rachel, a lovely
girl Of eighteen, with rosy cheeks and
dark eyes, lived alone, deriving q mea-
ger livelihood from their few acres of
tillable land below the bluff.
Mrs. Ewing and Racherswere firm
patriots and, though they mourned
deeply over their great loss. their cour-
age was OF too high nature to yield to
despair and condemn the cause which
had deprived them of q protector.
There was one in the neigh borhood
who would gladly have done all in his
power to lessen the trials of the widow
Atfd daughter That was Charles Rig
ney, whose fathers well-cultivated
fields lay just across the stream from
the Ewing place.
Young Rigney and Rachel had grown
up together from childhood, and had

Earthquake. and vrrctation.

When people tell us that earthquakes
are capital things we may reasonably BE-
allowed To entertain suspicious regard
ing their sanity. but if they follow up
their assertions with reasonable arsu-
ment then we must perforce give them
some attention. Signor 4. Gioran has
been collecting number of observa-
tions. from which he deduces that the
effects of sicSmic shocks upon vegetation
are Ia favor a more rapid termination of
seeds and more rapid growth of the
young plants, thus resulting in greatly
increased luxuriance. These results he

ence of the trcmor. but 10 three second
