Ours was a quiet street at, most times— a lazy,. shady place, where the green blinds were forever closed, aud where there was so little passing that spears of §rass grew here and there between the ag stones, and the stone curbs of the Iron-railed areas were fringed with soft green moss. A very quiet place at most times,’ but late, upon oue autumn after noon, a etrange try sounded through it. whluir awakened all its echoes, and called curious faces to the doors aud windows. ‘ Stop thief I stop thief!’ The strong voice of a policeman uttered the cry at first, aud the shrill treble of two boys at play near by took it up and repeated it, and by-and-by there was a full, deep chorus, like the cry of a pack of hounds—a sound you might have known at any distance, however ignorant you were of the language, to be the cry of men who bunted something. Policemen ■ with their clubs, errand boys with their bundles, bakers with their baskets on their arms, young gentlemen Just released from the academy close at hand, and ragged urchins, whoso school was tho gutter, all joined lu hot pursuit, and followed the.miserable wretch, with.’ .bare, begrimmed feet and hatless head, that flitted along before them with a speed .which only, fear could lend to one so worn and wretched—a speed which' kept the crowd a long way off, and made the burliest of his pursuers pautlor breath. They were out of sight in a moment; but in a little while the cry was heard that the thief ha I baffled them, and some among the crowd rushed back to see if their prey had doubled on his track ; aud others, sulky and indignant at the result of their useless'chase, oumo buck mutter ing angrily or swearing, with many vio lent.oaths, that they should, have him' yet. One policeman, a ]well-fed fellow, with a crimson face, madequite.ahero of him self by asserting that he knew the fellow, and would trap him before sundown.— There wiia a good deal of sympathy felt for the gentleman who had lost bis pock et handkerchief, hut noue could I hear for the poor, degraded wretch who had purloined it, until a placid voice lit my elbow uttered the followiug words, appa rently In.soliloquy: 1 Well, I may be wrong; but I hope they won’t catch him.! , X turned lu surprise, aud confronted our grocer, on whose steps I had sought snelter ffoin.tße crowd, wntolr, at sucu a moment, could not be expected to think much of the sa:ety of a woman. Our grocer was a portly man. with a shining bald head, friuged with S ring of white hair, like the tonsure of a Roman’ Catholic priest, and wearing at the mo ment a Holland apron ,ahda short blue’ jacket; ' ' : Yes’m,’ he weht on, ‘I really hope the miserable, starved looking creature willgetottV’ 1 Then you don’t believe he picked the gentleman’s pocket?’said I: .‘l'm afraid it’s only too certain that he did, ma’m,’ said the man, shaking his head. 1 He looked straight at me as he passed, and he had hungry, desperate oj es that looked like theft; and murder, too, for that matter.’ . ' Andyet you wish him to escape, when be bos broken Hie laws of the laud, aud will probably, do so again 7’, , ‘ God forbid that I should help to break the, latysi’ .said the grocer. '. Good men made them, and they nre right ; but there are other laws that I read in my Bltne Sunday nights that seem to be os binding. Oue of them is, ‘Do unto others as you would that-others should do untoybu,’— And anSiher, ‘ Love thy neighbor as thy self.’ WnlSn I remember these words, I think that.you may be too hard with a poor, sinful lellow-being/'and not go be yond the limits of the.law either.’ . ' That rich gentleman , who, had his pocket picked will go home to a fiiie din ner ana a bottle of. wine, no doubt, and the wretch of a thief may have a crust of bread and a glass of burning gin, if he can sell or pawn what he stole for enough to . get'them. Somehow, If X could X wouldn't have him burned down to-night —I vow I wouldn't.’ v* Still, X don’t blame those young fel lows, I’d have: been ha furious’ln the chose as any of’em years ago; but! learnt a' lesson once' that.l have never forgotten,‘and I hope X never may. I wash young man, and a poor one then, and had a hard struggle to make my lit tle shop keep my family. Xt was only by plnchiugand saving, aud keepings sharp lookout , for every bargain, that ! mgm bgeditotall.. -j ; We lived In a shabby little street, and had only very ; poor customers. • A loaf of bread, a quarter of a pound of butter, and two educes of black tea was quite an, or der; and most of these that came wanted .trust.-.-!, ; . . As for laying in fine fruit or vegetables, I hever . thought of such a, folly, Dia monds would have been os saleable in t.imt-nnrt of the blty, where.woshet-wom ehljnd the poorest laboring.men were the aristocracy. . . Hovv and .then,'when a foreign ship ibame to port with a.load of ruined pine applesf or decayed 'oranges,"l bought a ’ lot of these, and charging next to hoth •Tug,' sold them easily enough. Although I own, uiy wlfeused to say the mlaeruble babies, wlib rolled übout the gutters, died 6ft faster, after"every ■ stock of foreign 'ftult I sold 1 In the old shop, and-I’m., 'afraid that' she was right. 1 Well, as T tbldyou, I str uggledalong as best X mlgh CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY MAY 3,1867, andafter awhile things beung to improve/ and I begad to have visions of a clean store in a good street, when I laid down to rest at night. So one tfay when I had been to the market I brought down half a dozen haras and hung them up about the door, more for show than anything else, lor baqo was a good holiday dinner in those regions, ana not an every day affair, I can tell you. They went off slowly, as I thought they would. Now and then some one would come in for a pound, and once I sold half of the smallest one to a woman who wanted- It for her Sanday dinner. She was to pay me on Monday morning, but she neveu did, for on Sun day night her husbad killed her with a rum bottle, and they took her body past my shop with its poor head all beaten out of shape and bloody, . And so the bams hung there through the summer, and through tho full, and quite on Into the winter. It was just as the December nights be fan to grow long and dark and cold, that noticed a young policeman on our beat, a handsome looking fellow, with very bright eyes, but with such thin cheeks and hands, although he seemed power fully built and made for rather a stout man, that I could not help watching him and wondering whether he had been .ill or not. The first tirpe that I noticed him was about sunset, and he passed and re passed my window a dozen times, looking nil tho time straight nt those hams which dangled from the frame at. the awning.—. ‘I hope be means to buy one/ X said to my wife, as wo sat together over tho tea table; ‘and I shouldn’t wonder if he did, for ho seems to have taken quite a fancy to them.’ But the evening passed, and though I sawjiiin every now and then on theoth-: er side of the way, looking across with; his bright eyes straight at the hamsphej did not come in and speak to me on the subject* Ami bo I made up my mind, that he would send for it in the morning, ( and somehow made so secure of it that' whenever I saw a decent looking woman gb by with a basket bn /her arm, I said ; ‘That’s the policemau’s wife coming at’-, ter the ham.’ I was mistaken, however, and after the street lamps were lighted I began to see the man pacing up and down, up and down, up aud down, with his eyes still fixed, as they had been the night previ-1 ous, upon the hams. Once he caught me’ peeping at him, and then lie turned so. red and looked at me with such a wolfish glitter in his eyes, that I grow angry, andl said to. myself: * It’s well that keeping! unsaleable articles isn’t a crime in this: country, for if it was I should expect,, to. .be arrested.’ '■ . So I gave him back his Jook, turned on ray heel, and walked back into the shop. I did not see him again that night; but long aftereverything jiad been taken in and locked up, and X was snug in bed, I heard a tramp, tramp, tramp, upon the pavement, aud knew it* was the new po liceman, and that he was looking at the hooks where the hams hung, as well as though.l had seen him. . On the third evening he, was there again ; that you may say was no wonder, for it was his duty to be upon that beat and no other; but it was curious that he should keep on staring at those hums with those bright, wolfish eyes of his. I didn’t like it, though I couldn’t have said .why. A vessel had been wrecked at sea about that time and an extra, with the latest news of the disaster, came out that eve ning. I bought a paper, and sat down behind the counter to, read it. It was a stormy night, and but few custodiers came in, aud those were easily served, and somehow, between reading and thinking, time passed on, until the cluck struck eleven, and I had not yet taken in goods or put up my abutters. -■ ‘ •Just os X was about to do so (in fact I bad already put my hand upon the first ■piece ror tne sbuccoi7) tny uonr:opcnccf, and an old women . came in. &ho was u-abttish miserable creature, known about tno place as Irish Kate, and, with her red nose, and bleared eyes, aud bloat ed limbs, was as ugly a figure as any one ever cast eyes upon. ‘ Another drum, I suppose,’l said to myself, going behind the bar at oncei for I’wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, lint she, to my surprise,. came close up to me, and put her great red paw,upon my arm. *l*ve made a diskivery, mister,’ she said : ‘ You’ve not been keeping a bright lookout as ye should ; there’s been a thafe at work without, this blessed night.? i . ‘ Wnat thief?’ ! asked , ‘ Mdre than I gun toll ye,’ she answer ed. 'But I think it’s, a policeman, no less, the blackguard/ . “‘ A policeman !’ I cried, aiid my thoughts flew at once to the man I had seen star ing ut my hams. ‘lt's too dark to see his face,’ she said, 1 but I caught the shine of ,the star on the coat he had on, and,whoever it was took a ham from' your pegs and hid it in the ash-box beyant the corner. Yp’l And it • therdpif ye look; and now ye’l not re fuse an old woman a sup o’ whiskey for the information.* I-gaveJhe p.Jd.oreatuo what she want ed, Hurried her out of the shop and put up the shutters, growing more angry every moment. ‘lf it’s the policeman, I’ll make him pay dearly for it,’. I exclaimed, as I slunk along the side walk to the corner, keep ing in the shadow all the way, ami when I stood be’siuo the box and saw by the light of the lamp, close by, that the ham was there, wrapped in, something which looked line a handkerchief; I bit my lips clenching my hands, with rage. Had It been a common thief, I should not have minded; but a policeman I it Was more than I could stand. Bo I crouch ed myself in a doorway and waited. The watch was relieved at twelve; 1 knew that, and I knew also that this, would bp the time when my policeman would come t take the ham from out of its hiding pace. And sure enough, wbe n the time came, I heard, him challenge the man who was to take his place, and come marching down - towards the corner. I let the ham under hisarm before I stirred, but then I bounced ou.him like a tiger. . ‘l’ve'got you,’l cried. ‘ A pretty po liceman you . are, indeed, but you shall suffer for it,-I cuu tell -you.’ .• He struggled >vitb me for a moment like a wild thing, and then all of a'sud den dropped the ham, and fell down ip a helpless sort of a heap upon the ground.-! ‘ I’m a ruined man’, he groa«id, ‘ a ,rur ined man i there’s no hope for me now.

X have been 111 a long while, and had neith er.money nor credit. Last night we: went to bed supperless; to-day there lias hot been a crust in the house, and these bams tempted me, and I meant to pay you afterwards.’ ■ Ho covered his face with his hands, and I could see great tears dropping through his Ungers, and before I knew it ray own cheeks were iuoi-t, and so wo stood silent with the; ham lying between us on the ground. At last he turned towards me and said : .' Do what you like with me;, theiast hope isgoue.' ' ' • ••: -• . ■ , ' But I put my band on his arm, and said: ‘God forbid, that. I should taka ; tbo last hope from you ; that I, of all meu, should be'the one to ruin you. If your storjr is true—aud I believe it is—Polity you (uoro than I blamo you.’ Ho looked at me iu a sort of a bewil dered way, as though hdigcarceley under stood me, and,l took him by the arm and led him back to the shop. There I filled a basket with bread pnd butter, and cof fee, and put tbo bam on top of all. 1 Take It home to your wife,’ I said, ‘you’ll pay mb when you get your salary, arid if you' are iu need before that time come to mo, I'm a poor man myself, aud I'can feel for another poor man.’ I shall never forgot that man’s face in all'my life, so wondering, b 5 thankful, aud so awe . stricken. All ho said was ‘ God bless you,.’ but there was a whole sermon In those three words, aud I slept better lor them.' On Christmas night he paid mo every cent, and from that day untill licit tho neighborhood, dealt with me regularly. But times grew so much better thatl took a store in a good street at tho other end of the town, audione way and other saw no more of my ppiiccman good' years. One night, juatrsuch a cold nightasthat on which I'first'saw him staring at,the hums, I was awakened long after mid night by a cry of fire. I started up to see the flames through the floor, and to know the store down below was all ablaze.— Tho stairs wefe oa lire also, and when I opened the entry door, the hot air and smoke rushed in and almost smothered me. X gave up all hope of getting my wife and little ones out of the burning building alive and safe. Help came to us, however, and though in clambering down, the ladder slipped and .broke my arm, 1 was thankful when I saw that all were safe, but was s%. faint and ill from the accident, you ace, that I hadn’t all my wits about me, -and believed there was no one missing. My blood run cold, when my wife clasping her bunds, with •an awful look-upon her face, screamed : ‘ Ouf little Lucy is left behind !’ She had slept with our hired girl since her baby brother was born, and the wo man in her fright had forgtten her little one. Thereahe was at the top of that burn ing building, out of the reach of any hu mail help; aud it seemed to mo os I look ed up at the wails, a great sheet of r£d and yellow fiaine, with blue gleams here aud there, as though the devilish heads were peeping out aud grinning at us. Still Hopeless as it was, 1 should have gone b;(ck into the burning house and saved my baby or died’witli*ber if X had been able to stand. No one else would-ven ture ; it would be a foolish sacrifice of life, they s\id, for no doubt ,the child was ul jeatly smothered by the smoke, and though I raved and pleaded, and made >vild promises, they only shook their heads, and only bade me have patience. i-X’atlence I 1 thought that I was going toad as the face of my little girl—my pret ty pet —rose, up before me. But just theli a tall mau rushed through the crowd and came toward me. ,‘Quickl’ ho shouted, ‘ which room is the child in—speak quickly—rwhlch room? ‘ The back room on the upper floor,’ I said, and he dashed away from me, part ing the throng with his strong arms, ai d in tfnotber moment he was mounting the ladder. I heard them calling him to come buck, bidding him to beware, aifd speak ing of him us though he were dead al ready. But be never heeded them, and as he became hidden by the.bluck smoko which poured from the window, I cover ed my face, and prayed that the angels who walked in the fircy furnace might go with him. Perhaps they did. Something stronger than an earthly thing must have been there, for in a lew moments —they seemed , years to me then—we saw him coming, down the ladder with something in his arms. The burnt body of my child, per haps, I thought, but as ho came closer ‘ iCSaW'tfmo 16 wta-mj—own-JnugJjJng iiig darling, witii her blue eyes open, and little arms about his neck, > ‘ What shall I say or do to thank you,’ I said, as 1 gmspdd his hand. * I,m a ru ined man, andean only giveyou iny bles sing; but let mo know'your name at least.’ ‘Haveyou forgtten me? don’t you re member me ?’ he said, as he bent over me. -‘ Look again.’ I did, and saw a pair of bright gray eyes,, a face I knew, and saw something glittering upon his breat. , And the scene of a corner of a dirty little street, on a wet December night, came buck to me, and I saw ray policemau once more. ‘ It is you,’ I said ‘ and you have saved my child from such an awful deaths ‘And what did you save me and mine from?’ ho .said, with- tears in his eyes. ‘Starvation, ruin, utter, degradation. I should have been a felon and .my dear ones paupers this night, but for you. I have not paid the .debt and never can but when*! heard that it was your child that lay at .the top of that burning build ing, I prayed that I might save It, and I knew that God horad me.’ And then ho told me what had brought' him to the neighborhood on that night of all others iu tlle'yta'r.

A wig wearer, stands in constant dread of losing off his wig in the presence of others. No one would think of pulling off my wig intentionally. In fact, Xhavo deliberately resolved that whoever does it dies—either on the spot or at some sub sequent’period. ,Yet there are accidents, such os the playfulness of a friend who'is ignorant that you wear a wig. (The more natural it is. the more danger there is of its being pulled ott in that way.), . One cold Babbath in January, meeting a crowd coming from church, ray feet slid from beneath me, and, mercy IA was on the cold, ooid ground.

THE “SLEEPY DISEASE OP AIIUCA.’ Having procured a guide, wo crossed the river, aud at the mouth of Logan’s Creek, exchanged our boat for a large canoe, In which we followed the windings of the deep and narrow inlet for nearly two miles. This brought ns to a village of six huts. Wlthoutceremony, wo entered the dwelling of the old Queen, (who was bu sied about her household alibi rs) and look ed around for her grand-daughter—to see whom was the principal object of the ex cursion. On my former visit to Mau mee’s town, four or five months ago, she excited a great deal of admiration by her beauty and charming simplicity. • She was then thirteen or. fourteen years of age—a bright mulatto, with large soft black eyes, and the most brilliantly white teeth In the world. Her figure, though small. Is perfectly symmetrical. She is the darling of the old Queen, whose affec tions exhaust themselves upon her with all the fire of her temperament —mui the more unreservedly, because the girl's own mother is dead. We entered the hut, as' I have said, without ceremouy, and looked about us for the beautifulgrand daughter; but oh beholding the object of our search, a kind of remorse or dread came over us, such us o/ton affects those who intrude upon the awfuluessof slumber. Thegirl lay asleep In apartment, ou a mat that was spread ou the hard ground, and with no pillow below her cheek. One arm was by her side, and the other above her head, and she slept so quietly, and drew such imperceptible breath, that X scarcely thought her alive. With some little difficulty she was roused, and awoke with a frightful cry—a strange and un broken murmur—ps if she were looking dimly out,of her sleep, and knew.not whether our.figures were real, oronly the fautusleamf a dream. Her eyes were wild and glassy, and she seemed to be in pain. While awake, there was a nervous twitch-; ing about her mouth and in her fingers ; *but being extended ou the mat, and left to herself, these symptoms of disquietude passed away, and she almost Immediately sunk again into the deep and heavy sleep in which we first found her. As her eyes gradually closed their lids, tho sunbeams, struggling through tho small crevices be tween tho reeds of the hat, glimmered dowu upon her head. Perhaps It was only the nervous motion of her fingers, but it seemed as if she was trying to catch the golden rays of the sun, aud make play things of them—or else to them in to her soul, and illuminate tho slumber that looked so dark to tjg. This poor, doomed.girl, had been suf fering—no, not suffering, for except when forcibly aroused, there appears to be no uneasiness—but she had been lingering two months in a disease peculiar to Afri ca. It is called the “ sleepy disease,” and Iscoiisideredincurable. The persons at tacked by it are those who take little ex ercise, aud live principally on vegetables, particularly cassaijjy aud rice. (Some as cribe it altogether to the cassady, which is supposed to be strongly narcotic. Not improbably the climate has much influ ence, the disease becoming more prevali ant in low. and marshy situations. Irre sistablo drowsiness continually weighs down the patient, who can bekeptawake only for a few moments needful to take a iiitie food. When this lethargy has Just ed three or four mouths, death comes with a tread the patient cannot hear, aud makes the slumber but a little morn sound* . I found the aspect of Maumee’s beauti ful granddaughter inconceivably atfect iug. It was strange to behold her so quietly involved in sleep, from which it might be supposed she would awake so full of youthful life, and yet to know that this was no refreshing slumber, but a spell in which she was fading away from the eyes that loved her. Whatever might chance, be it grief or joy, the effect.would be the same. Whoever should shake her by the arm —whether accents of a friend leilieebly on'Her or those of a stran ger like ourselves—the only response would be that troubled cry, as a spirit that hovered on the confines of both worlds, but could sympathize with neither. And yet, withal.it seemed so easy to cry to her —‘‘Awake I Kujoy.life! Cast off this noontide slumber! 1 ’ But only the peal of the last trumphet will summon her out of this mysterious sleep;— Journal.of an Af rican Cruiser.

Fears were entertained forhis safety; surely the gipseys had ruu away with him, aud were stuiuiug his cheeks with nut-brown ber ry. At length, after search hud been made for him ic. various directions, he was discovered sittipg at the aide of a brook, meditating on'the best way of get tiug over." ** I wonder, child,” said the old lady, when she saw him, “that fear did not drive you home.” Fear, grand mamma I” replied the child; “Inever saw fear—whutfs.it?” • * Nelson was eenc while very young to a school at Downfaam, and often in the muqket-place was he to be seen working at the pump till a pond was formed large enough to float a wooden vessel in—avea sel that he had scooped out of a lump of wood with his pocket-knife. On ‘one occasion after the .Christmas holidays his brother William and himself set off on their ponies to return lo school. Having advanced a short distance Iroiii their father’s house, they found the road much impeded by snow. William, who did not like the journey, aud was “creep ing like a snail,” persuaded Horatio to re turn to the parsonage'.*" There William told his father the snow was 100 deep to venture. “If that be the case,” said the father, “you certaiuly shp.ll not go ; but make another attempt, and I will leave it to your, honor. If the road should bo found dangerous you may rctfiru ; but re member, boys, I leave it to your honor.” They started forth again, William very ill satisfied.urging objection’s to the path; and professing to see danger. Horatio would not be persuaded : to turn baok—he was quite resolved on pursuing , the jour ney. “We must go on,” he said; “don’t you know father left it to our honor?” Selling a Subject.—A man sitting one evening’ in' an ale-house, thinking how to get provisions for the next day, saw a fellmv dead drunk upon the oppo site bench. ; “ Do you not wish to get rid, of this sob?” said he to the landlord. “I do, aud haft a crown shall speak my thanks,” was the reply. ’ • “ Agreed,” said the other-; “get me a sack.” A sack was procured, and put over the drunken trudged the miin with his burden,till he came lothehouso of a noted resurrectionist, at whoso door he knocked.

VOL. 53.- HATCH MAKING. About twenty years ago chemistry abol ished the tinder box, and the burnt rag that made the tinder went tomako paper; Slowly did the Invention spread. The use of the match is now established that machines, are invented to prepare tho splints. In New York one match manu factory cuts up a large raft of timber for matches. The English matches arc gene rally square,,and thus thirty thousand splints are out in a minute. Tho Ameri can matches are round, and the process of shaping being more elaborate, four thous and and live hundred splints are cut in a minute. We will follow a bundle of eigh teen hundred of thin splints, each, four Inches long, through its conversion into three thousand six hundred matches. Without being separated, each end of the bundle is iirst dipped in sulphur.— When dry, the splints, adhering to each other by means of the sulphur, must be parted by what Is called dusting. A boy ; sitting on the floor with a bundle before him strikes the mutches with a kind of. mallet on the dipped cuds till they become thoroughly loosened. • They have now to bo plunged into a preparation of phos phorus or chlorate of potash, according to the quality of the match. The phospho rus produces the pule, noiseless tire, the. chlorate of potash the sharp, crackling il lumination- After this application of the more Inflammable substance, the ma* di es are. senerated -and dried in racks. — Thoroughly dried, they are gathered up again into bundles of the same quantity, and are taken to the boys wlio cut them, for the* reader will have observed that the bundles have been dipped at cadi end.. There are a few things more remarka ble in manufactories than tiie'oxtraordi-. nary rapidity of the cutting process and that which is connected with it. The boy stands before a bench, the bundle on. his right-hand, a pile of empty boxes on. bis left. The matches are to be cut, and the. empty boxes .tilled by this boy» A bundle is opened; he seizes a portion, knowing by long habit the required num ber with sufficient exactness; puts them rapidly into a sort of a frame, knocks the ends evenly together, coniines them with a strap which he tightens with his foot and cuts them in two parts with a knife on a binge, which ho brings down with a strong leverage. The halves lie projec ting over each end of the frame; lie grasps the left portion and thrusts it into a half open box, which slides into uu outer case, and lie repeats the process with the match-, es in his right hand. Thisserles of move ments Is performed l with a rapidity al most unexampled, for in this way two hundred thousand marches arc cut ami two thousand boxes filled in a day by a boy. A Chapter on Harmonizing: Dre.sa Witli the Complexion. Of all colors, perhaps the most trying to the complexion are thedifferentshades of lilac and purple. The fashionable and really beautiful mauve and Its varieties are, of course; Included in this category. In accordance with the well known law of optics, arrcolors, simple or compound,, have a tendency tq tiiit surrounding ob jects with a faint spectrum of their com plimentary color. Those above mention ed, which require for their harmony va rious tints of yellow and green, impart these supplementary cplors to. the 00107 plexioh. It is scarcely necessary to ob serve that, of . all complexions, those which turn upon yellow are most un pleasant in their effect—and, probably, for this reason, that in this climate ills always a sign of bad health. But, it will be asked, is there no means of harmoni zing colors, so beautiful in themselves, with the complexion, and so avoiding these ill effects ? To a certain extent this may be done, and as follows: Should the complexion be dark, the purple tint may be dark, also, becausc by ..contrast, it makes the complexion appear fairerrinfte skin be pain or fair, the tint should be lighter. In either case MlO.CO]- or should never be placed next the skin, but should be parted from it by the hair and by a ruche of tulle, which produce the-neutralizing effect Of gray. Should the complexion still'appear too yellow, green leaves or green ribbons may be worn as trimmings. This‘wlil often neu tralize liiac and purple colors, aud thus prevent their imparting an unfavorable . hue to the skin. ' Scarcely’less-dlificult than mauve to harmonize with the complexion is the equally beautitul color culled “ magenta.” The complimentary, color would be yel-. low-green ; “ magenta,”' therefore, re? quires very nice treatment to make it bo coming. It must be subdued when near the skin, qnd this must be done by inter mixture with black; either by diminish ing its brightness by nearly covering it with black lace, or by introducing the color in very small quantity only. Yellow, also] is a difiicu’t Color to har monize with the complexion. A bright yellow, like that of the buttercup, con trasts well with black, and is becoming to brunette, when not placed next the skin,;, but pale yellow, or greenish yellow, suits no one, especially those with pale com plexion. Its effect is to diffuse,- by con trast, a purple hue ovei the complexion,, and this is certainly no addition to beau-, ty. Blue Is favorable.to most complex ions; light or sky blue especially so to fair, persons with golden hair; fuller tints to those who are less fair, or in whom’ years have developed some of the color of the sere and yellow leaf peculiar to ail tumn. , It often happens that, as persons advance iu years, colors which suited th.em in youth cease to bo becoming; pink, for Instance, agrees‘with youthtul complexion and fair akin,,but it does not harmonize .with the yellow, tint of more advanced ago; in this case either sky blue, qf pure deep blue, will be substitu ted with advantage for pink.
