Tle Lovely Fashions.
< Mark Twain' is responsible for the
following :
'Who shall describe the exquisite
taste and beauty of the new style of
ladies' walking-dresses? Taken as a
class, women can contrive more out
landish and ugly costumes than one
would think possible without the gift
of inspiration. But this time they
havo been felicitous in invention. The
wretched waterfall still remains, ot
course, but in a modified form; every
change it has undergone was for the
better. First it represented a bladder
of Scotch snuff; next it hung down a
woman's back like a canvass covered
ham; afterward it contracted, and
counterfeited a turnip on the back ot
the head; now it sticks straight out
behind, and looks like a wire muzzle
on a greyhound. Nestling in the midst
of this long stretch of head and hair
reposes the little batter cake of a bon
net, like a jockey-saddle on a race
horse. You will readily perceive that
this looks very unique, and pretty, and
coquettish. But the glory of the cos
tunie is the robe —the dress. No fur
belows, no flounces, no biases, no ruf
fles, no gores, no flutter wheels, no
hoops to speak of—nothing hut a rich,
plain, narrow black dress, terminating
just below the knees in long saw-teeth
(points downward) and under it a
flaming red skirt, enough to put your
eyes out, that reaches down only to the
ankle-bone, and exposes the restless
little feet. Charming, fascinating, se
ductive, bewitching! To see a lovely
girl of seventeen, with her saddle on
her head, and her muzzle on behind,
and her veil just covering the end ot
her nose, come tripping along in her
hoople6S, red buttoned dress, like a
churn on fire, is enough to set a man
wild. I must drop this subject—l
can't stand it.'
The Reward of Patrloiism.
The late Rev. James Sewell, of Bal
timorc, was somewhat noted for his
eccentricity, and during the Rebellion
equally noted for his patriotism. At
one time a regiment of Union soldiers
stopped near his residence, and the
men crowded around an old pump, the
water from which was hardly fit to
drink. Mr. S. approached them, ami
blandly addressed Ihem as follows :
' Heroes of my country, I am glad to
see you ; but I atn sorry to see you
have to usb such water as that. Come
into my house, and Mother Sewell will
give you some ico water to refresh you '
Nothing loth, the 'heroes' followed
him into the house, and soon the old
gentleman was dealing out the cooling
liquid on all sides. After they had de
parted, he suddenly recollected that
he had an engagement for a particular
hour, when, feeling for his watch, he
found it gone. 'Mother,' said he, ad
dressing Mrs. S., 'I do believe one of
the heroes of my country has stolen
my watch !' And so it proved.
IV ot Rone to Glory.
Some amusing things occur some
times in very solemn places. A Meth
odist class meeting was being held late
ly, when a brother who had not been
present for a considerable time arose
to speak. 'Glad to 6ee you here, my
brother,' said the Leader of the class;
'how is it with you? 'Oh,' said lie.
'since I met with you last, my wife
has gone —' At this" point he broke
down, when the Leader, to encourage
him said, 'Gone to Glory, has she?
Hallelujah!' and commenced singing.
' We have some friends before us gone,'
&c., when the brother interrupted him
with 'No, that's not it—she's gone and
run off with another man !'
JS-A lady makings morning call
discovers her married female aequain
tance making tremendous lunges with
a broomstick under the bed Conver
sation breaks forth : 'Good morning,
madam. Ah, you have a troublesome
cat under the bed?' 'Troublesome cat?
no ma'am; its that sneaking husband
of mine, and I'll have him out or break
every bone in his body.' 'You will eh?'
said a faint voice under the bed. 'Now
Susy, you may rave and pound and
pound and rave, but I'll not come out
from under this bed while I've got the
spirit of a man about me!'
I@u A certain farmer's wife, after
having her child baptized in church,
waited in the vestry till services were
over, to have the register's certificate i
endorsed in the usual manner.
The minister, not being quite sure
of the date, said, in an interrogative j
tone:
'This is the 20th, I think?'
The worthy matron, understanding
the query to refer to the number of her
family, indignantly retorted :
'1 think, sir, ye're very irnpidint, for
its only the thirteenth.'
B&rA Tonnesseo dutchman, having
caught his son in wvong-doing, deter
mined to administer a dose of hickory.
So he trimmed a switch and went to
look for the youngster, %vho inconti
nently took to his heels. After chas
ing the hoy around for awhile, the old
man thought to persuade him to stop,
and take the licking. So he halted
and hailed the wary fugitive: 'Shon.
Shon, stop! 1 not so mat as vat I

a railroad station is a placard
annonncing 'No smoking,' posted over
an oil lamp. Two Irishmen appear, j
one smoking. 'Mike,'says the other, I
'yo'ro transgressed the rhules of the

smoker. 'Don't you see there—nol

i in color and flavor to that which is

7b Peesu-rve Peaches. —The clear stone
yellow peaches, white at the stone, are
I the best. Weigh the fruit after it is
'pared. To each pound of fruit allow a
i pound of loaf sugar. Put a layer of
sugar at the bottom of the preserving
kettle, and then a layer of fruit, and
so on until the fruit is all in. Stand
it over the fire until the sugar is en
tirely dissolved; then boil them until
they are clear; take them out piece by
I piece, and spread them on a dish free
from syrup Boil the syrup in the pan
until it jellies; when the peaches are
{cold, fill the jars half full with them,
and fill up with boiling syrup. Let
them stand a short time covered with
a thin cloth, then put on brandy pa
per, and cover them close with corks,
-kin, or paper. From twenty to Uni
ty minutes will generally be sufficient
! to preserve them.
Quinces Preserved Whole. —Pare and
put them into a saucepan, with the
parings at the top; then fill it with
hard water; cover it close; set it over
a gentle fire till they turn reddish ; let
litem stand till cold; put them into a
clear, thick syrup; boil them for a few
minutes ; set them to one side till quite
cold; boii thent again in the same man

look clear; if the sj-rup is not thick
enough, boil it more; when cold, put
ibrandicd paper over them. Thequin-
I ces may be halved or quartered.
Quince Jelly. —Take some sound, y*el
low quinces, which are not over ripe ;
! peel them, cut them in quarters, and
boil thent in as much water as will
: cover tiiein. When they havo been
well boiled, squeeze them through a
linen cloth, clarify the juice in a filter
ing bag, weigh it. and put it with three
quarters of its weight of sugar in a
: brass kettle. Do not forget to put in
a piece of cinnamon. Cook the whole
together until it has become a jelly,
fake it front the tire, and tie up in pots
when it is cold.
Hon a Youiijr Lady Roes to Bed.
Dismissing iflandy, her foster sister
and maid, Miss Preston performed the
task of disrobing for the night, with
out other assistance than that of her
own nimble fingers.
First the little lace collar and ribbon
were removed from the neck, and the
: bright merino dress laid aside; next
the snowy skirts were lified over tho
bead ; then a spring touched in front
of the rounded waist, when with a
clicking and metallic sound down came
the wide expanse of crinoline, and Miss
[Charley stepped out of its steel circle,
considerably collapsed, but all the pret
tier. A somewhat similar mechanical
operation was repeated, and numerous
springs and curls were set in lively
motion, and then with a stretch up
ward of the plump white arms, and a
iong drawn sigh of relief, off came the
little French ' railroad'corsets, and the
dimple shoulders of the wearer rose in
unrestricted freedom.
The snowy night gown was now
slipped over the head, and its delicate
frills daintily adjusted to the throat
and wrists. Next the mirror was vis
ited, and the charming little moues made
at the bright face it reflected, and then
seizing the brush, the girl proceeded
t" apply it to her glossy curls until
they shouo like satin.
Then to the washstand, whore teeth
white as cocoanut meat, were rubbed
until they gleamed whiter, and the
'"o.-y face dipped in the basin of pure
cold water until it glowed with re
newed crimson. And then drawing a
low seat close to the tire, the young
igirl laid ono pretty foot lightly or her
knee and began to unlace the tiny boot
which encased it. In a few moment*
both little feet were hare in their
childish beauty, and pressed down on
the hot bricks of the hearth, while a
! careful measurement was made as to
the relative lengths of the big toe and
the one next to it, for on this impor
tant difference depends the momentous
question as to which of the two shall
rule in the future married life of the
measurer—it having been decreed by
mysterious and immutable signs that
1 should the greal toe he longer, the
I forth-coming lord of the lady will he
; master as well, while if the second has
the preeminence, a similar fate is in
store for herself, and her only master
will he her own sweet will.
In the present instance both of tho
soft, pink toes were of such sameness
of length that the inference was suffi-
| eiently clear that destiny decreed the
j married life of Miss Charley Preston
| should he a state of equal rights
The young lady sat still and amused
j herself by doing a little prospecting in
the way of" gazing down into tho coals
glowing before her, and then taking
her Bible from its stund, she read the
lessons appointed for the evening, then
knelt and said her simple prayers. A
puff of fragrant breath from a pair of
rosy lips, and out went the candle,
leaving the room lighted only by tho
rich firelight. Then unbolting the
door, that Mandy, who slept in tho
room, might gain access when it
should please her to leave the de
lights of the kitchen, the yourg girl
I turned back the soft blankets and
i snowy sheets of her bed, made the im
press of her rounded figure in its
; downy depth, laid her innocent head
upon the tastefully trimmed pillow,
and went to her happy dreams.

ELASTIC STITCH

THE Grover A Baker Elastic-Stitch Sewing Machines
are superior to all others for the following reasons:
i 1. They sew direct from the spools, and require no
| rewinding of thread.
j 2. They are more easily understood and used, and
! less liable to derangement than other machines.
! 3- They are capable of executing perfectly, without
j change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work
j than other machines.
4. The stiieh made by these machines is much more
i firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles
I winch require to be washed and ironed, than anv
; other stitch.
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the
I under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump
aud beautiful in use, an-i retain- this plumpness and
j beauty even upon articles frequently washed aud
: ironed until they are worn out.
: 6. The structure of the seam is such that though it
; be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it
will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and
I durable.
! 7. Unlike other machines, these fasten bothendsof
| the seam by their own operation.
8. With these machines, white silk isused upon the
; right or face side of the seam, cotton mav be used
upon the other side without lessening th • -irengih or
! durability ol the seam. This can be .lone on noothei
j machine, and is a great saving upou all articles stitch
j ed or made up with silk.
j 9. lhcse machines, in addition to their superior
! merits as instruments for sew ing. by a change of ad
. justment. easily learned and practiced, execute the
j most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna
; mental work.

permanent black, with as much lustre as
when new, leaving the leather soft aud

to the ladies it will not rub off when wet
and soil the skirts. Traveling hags, kid
