ANT) 110 W TO FIIIOIITEN THEM, Seated together in a pleasant parlor, in the appointments of winch evellthing betokened comfort, not unmin gled with elegance, were two ladies. The younger who had not reached the meridian of life, bore in her rounded form, and classically regular features, evidences of great youthful beauty, hallowed, rather than dtmned, by the ten years that had passed since she was a bride. But upon those fair features therd rested a shadow, indefinable, yet phdhly there ; the bright eye had a tinge of melan choly mingling Witt its most cheerful glance, end the finely chisled mouth, beautiful in its repose, looked as If it had forgotten how to smile. Yet very fair appeared Lucy Selwyn to the eye of her more advanced companion as they sat In that pleasant parlor on the bright May morning Mrs. Brown was possibly twenty years older than her friend, but with one of those bright cheery faces, that the hand of age never robs of the light of a youthful spirit. Wrin kles there were, if you would search for Went —crows'•feet in the broad forehead, but the cheerful light that d a nced upon ,the whole ,countenance so veiled them in beauty, that few ever noted the footprin:s which the years had left lit passing,. MEI At the feet of Mrs. Selwyn was a . paper ; she had been * reading aloud from it one of those fugitive pieces which had come, with their glimpses of domestic life, like golden lessons to the heart. The piece was headed " The Rift in the Claud," and 113 she finished it, she had allowed the paper to drop carelessly from her hands, exclaiming, " Never were written truer words than those I" There was a tinge of bitterness in the ex pression of these words that caused Mrs. Brown to look up from the work on which she was engaged when in response to her look of inquiry, Mrs. Selwyn - continued : "It may seem strange to you ,to listen to such words from me. Yet, Mrs. BroWn, my home Is very different front the ideal of my girlhood ; I have seen one by one, the bright visions I had cherished fade out before the stern experience of the wife ; in short, I no longer disguise front myself that my home is not it happy one.'' "And yet, Lucy, you have no clouds to shadow your path ; no storms to distress you. Without anxieties fur the present; with a husband whose pride it is to make your house comfortable, and children whom It should be a holy joy to train—with these, and to crown and brighten all, your home thou id be happy." "Others think so," was the sadly-spoken reply, "-and many, perhaps,envy me. I have, as you say, no storms to breast, but to carry out your figure, my skies have lost their once bright tints, and are robed in cheerless gray, and I move beneath them like one from whose heart the sunlight is shut out !" " Open your heart to me, guy dear Lucy," said Mrs. Brown, in a tone of the deepest af fection—" 4 am an old woman now, and have, in my day,. experienced many changing skies —the sonbright, the stormy, yes, and the cold, dull gray, as well--anti my experience may be tilde to suggest a way of scattering the mists that hide the sunbeams from your heart." " Well," replied Lucy, taking up the paper which had fallen at her feet," this little sketch portrays just what I for years have felt—the unappreciated devotion of a wife—my hus band never commends me, and I out made to feel that, in his eyes, I ant deficient in almost everything.

This was a new phase of the subject to Mrs. Selwyn ; a faint light began to dawn upon her, a dim suspicion that her friend might, at le'a'st in part, lie right ; t , i it how could she help it how could she express what she did not feel? This thought, flashing across her mind, startled her. Had she, in deed, ceased to love her husband Ni !

"No," replied her friend, "and were I speaking to your husband, I should remind him of that; and yet, to you I must say, that had you, previous to the time you won his heart, worn the aspect which is now usual with you, Mr. Selwyn would never have sought you ns a wife ?" " And had lie been then as lie now is, I would never have accepted him as a husband," retorted Lucy, with spirit.

A LADY'S TOILET Ito ir and Its Horrors—Revelations about. Powder, Rouge, ete. Never since the beginning of the seven teenth century has fashion given license to so many absurdities in the arrangement of la dies' hair, or so many abominations with which to ornament it, as nt the present day. The enormous pinnacles worn during the fourteenth century were called fantangcs, and were constructed by means of illusion lace and the hair borne up by wire. These ridiculous cones were sometimes an ell in heights and made women taller than men. There is no record, however, of ornamental hair having been 115 in their construction. Instead of the hyti 'l7e raised in a fantauge, it is now fashion to build out the head at the back, by means of chignons, stuffed with tepseys, or long rolls of curled hair,curls over this, and puffs and frizzes on the top,and front of the head. The braids, or chatelnitfs, as they arc called, are worn by the young people Instead of the chii non,. and are looped in the back with curls between Those persons possessing a reason. able amount of hair of their own, or rather, growing on their own heads, (what lady, now-a-days, has not quantities of hair, of her own?) can braid and arrange it In this man lier, to look very tastefully, without the.addl tion of ornamental hair. There are few heads, however, that have undergone the "crimping process," and the constant washings to make the hair light and fleecy, that can be made to look monstrous enough, without adding rats and topseys, switches and chatelaine. TIIE CHAGNON The ordinary chignon now in vogue Is a very convenient head-dress, more especially for elderly persons and those possessing but a small quantity of hair, yet it is sometimes. placed upon the head in a very absurd post. tion by those making their toilets in a hurry, and under the circumstances is a very ridicu lous appendage. It is only a few years back that those wearing false hair took the greatest care to c mewl It. A "switch" coiled in with the natural hair was as 'carefully guarded as if it were a snake about to rattle ; but In these days a lady's dressing table Is strewn with curls, pulls, rats and chignon boXes as a mat ter or course ; ,. and it is quite a fact that one of the fair sex not long since purchased a "charming set of fleecy curls'' while accom panied by one of our New York beaux. The young men of our city appear quite re , signed to the: extravagant quantities of false hair worn by the ladles whom they admire. Could they behold one of these blonde beau ties before the ornamental hair has been fastened on her headAer own locks drawn straight back and twisted in a very little knot behind, it is to be feared they would be. dis enchanted. PERSONAL DECOR. TION As with a gentleman elegance of costume begins at the collar and neck-tic, and with an itiviting and gracefully appointed reran the , at traction concentrates in a neat and glowing hearthstone, so in the toilet of a lady the charm and beauty of appearance is made or marred by the symmetery of her head : by the arrangement of her hair in n becoming and elegant manner, or by its disfigurement with an untidy conglomeration of horse hair, tangled curls, rusty nets, and snarly frizzes. There has been n great deal written and said of the many abominations of the present style of head-dress, and we erg all so used to the ridiculous arrangement of ornamental hair, that outlandish head-gear and struck-byffight: uing-looking chignons fail, to attract a second glance. There is one kind of decoration, however, of which none like to talk, of which few undertake to write, and no one will admit the using, viz., cosmetics for beautifying the complexion. To be sure ladies will acknowl edge the possession of " Baby powder," and and a puff, and writers have attempted the exposition of poisonous cosmetics, but genet. ally the subject is avoided. " There are few women In fashionable.adclety who do not use powder or some other cos metic for whitening the skin. There are very many who beside this, pencil their eyebrows and blacken the edge of the lower eyelid. Rouge is not used to the extent of either the above articles for improving the color of the face ; but there are great quantities of It pur chased, and the truth is It is put on the cheeks with such care that It' is difficult to tell In many instances who is painted and who Is not. MEM Gentlemen are more deceived by the man ufactured complexions of the fair sex than by. any other of their artificial adornments. Man kind are especially averse to powder and paint, and women who are In the habit of using it generally apply it cautiously. Many married women there arc whose husbands do , not suspect of artificial complexion, who regularly whiten and rouge their faces, yet most ea' efully secrete the Oriental cream and the pink saucer. Why is It so much worse to use the white and vermillion on the skin than it Into adorn the head with a mess of dead hair, sometimes [musty and always dusty 1 It is certainly a more cleanly artifice ; yet gentlemen will not object to fondling a long, golden 'curl they know. to be dead hair, if they have common sense, who would fly into a rage at the sight of a box of "Meen Fun" or a bottle of " Bloom of Youth." Gentlemen, notwith standing, have been known to return from the barber's with something looking very like powder left about their ears. ABOUT POWPEnB. Dry powders for skills that chafe easily are almost necessary for the toilet ; the liquid cosmetics, where they do not contain white lead, aro very improving to the complexion, if used in moderation on occasions where one beComes heated by dancing and the face is liable to look greasy from perspiration. Pow- der is really. a necessary comfort for some faces, especially in warm weather, and there are many ladles using it who would feel dis graced by roughing their cheeks. There is something : so very vulgar in the immoderate use of cosmetics, especially rouge, that it at once stamps the person so besnieared with ,indecency. No loading the head with or namental hair can produce the bad effectothat an over application of powder and Paint will; yet they are both artificial adornments, and the rouge is not as unhealthy for the cheek as the weight of the false halv,for the head. lIAIR-DRESSINO The business of hair dressing has grOwn rapidly since the introduction of the present fashion of wearing ornamental hair. Ladies that could dress their own hair, for merly, cannot arrange the braids, curls and puffs now worn to look sails factory on occa. slons where they are to appear In full dress, without the assistance of a hair-dresser, alr-dressing establishments generally keep three and four and often six young women, who are proficients in the art, and who dress the heads of ladies coming to the ',establish ment, or attend their customers at their own residences. On evenings when a large ball is tp take place these girls who go to five and six houses each between six and ten o'clock. The Broadway heir-dressers. charge two dal lore for sending in the residence and dressing a head. Those on Sixth avenue demand but half that sum, and seem to understand their business fully as well as their Broadway neighbors. The patience possessed by some of these young girl hair-dressers is really amazing when they have to contend with is nervous costomer, whose head is " So ten der I" I= Imagine a room wherein is seated a young lady awaiting the hairdresser. She's dressed for the ball, excepting that her hair is in dis order, and her dress remains to be put on the last thing done. A little ruffled dressing sack covers her shoulders, and the long trail skirts with their snowy fluted edgings are carefully drawn aside, displaying a pair of satin boots that impatiently pat the floor. Not many minuteh pass before the hair-dresser enters, short-breathed from hurrying, and with cheeks scarlet from the cold. She throws ore her hat and cloak, takes a pair of crimping irons from her pocket, puts them in the fire, and without stopping to warm her fingers begins her work by twisting the front of the lady's hair on long hidvpins—it process known among the fair sex ns " putting the hair in crimps." Please he a little careful," said the lady ; "my head Is so tender, and I am very ner vous. I promised to be all ready at nine, and every carriage I hear roll through the street I imagine is for me." "If you hold perfectly still I shall get along much faster, miss.", replied the hair•dresser, who was growing nervous herself. " The hair-pin in Ilea last puff almost kills me," cries the victim. "Oh, how my head aches. I fear my hair will not look as well as the last time you dressed it." After enduring these complaints from seve ral during an evening, tine may believe the task of tint hair-dresser is not a very easy one. t is a common expression, especially of one lady of another "'She was enamelled." Real enamelling the face in this country is not done and it has never been accomplished wit'i any success abroad. The most celebrated enam eller in Europe was Madam Rachel, of Lon don, who advertised to make people " beauti ful forever." Failing to apply the enamel so that it remained there was a law suit brought against her by, one of her patrons, whom she agreed to make heantlful forever for n large sum of money. In London for a long time after this, "beau tiful forever" was a large slang phrase. • Those who study really to beautify their heads by the arrangement of their hair, will dress it modesty and symmetrically, that it may not distract the gaze front features and expression. Those who desire a good com plexion will use a recipe composed of exercise In the open air, simple food, early hours for retiring, with plenty of cold water.—.N. F. Evening Post. A Horrible Tale---Ext nordinark Oc- eurrenee out West A strange story, quite as horrible in its dra matte details as any Mrs. Anna Radcliffe ever devised from the coinage of her Imaginatlim, comes to us from the region of Fort Sully. In that neighborhood lived a somewhat noted Indian, Yellow Hawk by name, who had abandoned his nomadic life and had taken to farming; by industry and economy he had be come possessed of a horse and cart, and it was his custom to go to thd different posts within accessible distance and dispose of, the products of his farm. On these expeditions he always carried with him acanvastent,which he would pitch on the:approach of a storm. 'Aliout three weeks ago Yellow Hawk went upon his last Journey. He was accompanied by his wife and a dog. While he was in the neighborhood of Fort Sully a terrible storm, attended With thunder and lightning, passed over the vicinity. On the day following a party of men happened to come across a little canvas tent pitched upon the river bank. It bore a neglected appearance and one of the party stepped up to it and looked in. What he saW there paralyzed him with terror, for he gazed upon a sight the like of which he shall probably never look upon again. At the end of the tent were Yellaw Hawk his wife and the dog, grouped together. mel low Hawk sat upright, with his hand ❑rmly grasping the neck of the dog, who was sitting on his haunches ; on the other side of the dog reclined Yellow. hawks wife, leaning on her elbcw. All three were stark, rigid, and of all three the eyes were wide open, staring with a look of fear. The shock of this dreadful sight rendered the observer incapable of mo tion, and it was only when his friends came to him that his sense of movement returned to Lim. The three were deed ; but wherefore It is Bald that the lightning killed them ; hu neither on the tent nor about the bodice was the slightest evidence of the presence of the electric destroyer.

Late in 1889 between three thousand end four thous:ind native Christians, residing in and near the city of Nagasaki, were seized and carried on steamers to parts then unknown, but it has since been ascertained that they were sent to different localities. The following Is a de scription of the cruelty practiced upon seven hundred of the Christians, given on the antho rlty of an eye witness : He found them shut up In what looked like a huge cage built for the purpose, at the bot tom of a deep depression resembling a crater in the top of a.hill. The building Is of two stories, but is Invisible till one stands . on the rim of the crater, whence he might drop stone upon the roof. The whole seven hun dred were all confined in the upper story, from which they have no egress.

Mothers brought with them their in fant children, nearly a hundred of them, when they first entered this place of confine ment, but few' of them now have the contort of extending their maternal love and care for their babes, for most of those infants have died of small-pax within a few months past. This pestilence has prevailed in Japan with tintsual malignity. But, whatever pest may in vade the prison of these Christians, neither physician or medicine is provided for the& by their keepers. Were disease to carry them off, I dare say it would be regarded as special good fortune by the government, for it is evidently its aim not to save life, but to kill. The daily allowance of food to the pri soners is a ball of dirty Saigon rice. Thesta pie of this country, of which there is no scarcity, is too good for those who dare to be lieve what this government condemns. Be. sides, the mkerable ration they receive is bare ly enough to keep body and soul together, while the tie that unites them must bo con stantly attenuated by such and so scant a diet. The aim of their oppressors is, if possible, to constrain some of them by such cruelty to deny their faith. With a view to such a pm- Bi hie result another, and a more confortablo building has been erected not far from the prison, to receive those who recant. Hitherto it has never had an occupant. When my in formant visited the prison,the prisoners crowd ed as near aspossiele to thi3spot wherehestood without, delighted to see the face of one who sympathized with them, and wishing to speak with him, but the keepers, in whose breasts the last spark of humanity seemed extinct, beat them back with clubs, thrusting them between the bars of their cages. He there saw two dead bodies lying .just where they died of small-pox, two days be fore, no attempt having been made to remove them. The prisoners told him this was not unusual, and thosb who died were always dragged out. of the prison at the end of long poles, to which the survivors were compelled to fasten them, the beggarly keepers wishing to keep out of the way of contagion. They said, also, that they had nn clothing but such as they brought from their homes more than a year ago. They say that they expect, and are willing to die for their religion. They only dread being shot, that mode °revocation alone having any special terrors for them. It is not pr3bable that they have much knowl edge of revealed religi in, but they look upon matyr.hm3 as the gate to a blissful reward hereafter. The foregoing details. may be relied upon as substantially true, and I envy not the man who can read or hear of these facts and yet feel neither pity for these innocent sufferers, nor a desire to deliver them from the hands or their unfeeling oppressors.

Recently ehe has been thrown into a similar state, and on Fri day last made the following predictions in the presence and hearing of a reporter of the Louisville Commercial : "In seven weeks from to day (March 21th) war sign will appear in the heavens, which will last fifteen weeks and then cease. This will be the forwarning of a terrible war be tween the whites and blacks In the United States. The first battle in the war of races will be fought in April, 1872, and the war will be brief, but terribly bloody.. After this war has ceased three years another war sign will appear in the heavens, indicating a renewal of the present war in Europe. This war will last about three years, 'and nil Prussia will glorify. Nine years after this war ceases, another sign will appear is the heavens above the whole world, which will forwarn people all over the world of a religions war. This will be terrible, even unto ono past as unto another of the whole lace of the world.

This is a wise proceeding on the part of the Thiers government, and will, we think, strengthen it considerably. Within a short time the armies of France, the disciplined soldiers or the empire, who were taken pris oners by the Germans, will all be returned to France. They have learned . obedience to law, are disciplined, and know that their services belong to the government of France, irrespective of its complexion. Whether that government be republican or Imperial, Kis all the same to them. Their duty is the soldier's duty, and that Is obedience to the established government of the nation. With a leader such as Marshal MaeMalion as their,corsirnan der-in-chief they would have every confi dence in the future, and would serve the re public with the same zeal with which they devoted themselves to the empire. With the French people, moreover, the D uko of Magenta is popular, and the appointment of the bravo old soldier to the position he now occupies is one which cannot fail to give satisfaction throughout the whole extent of the Francis nation. lie issued from the late disastrous campaign with a character as stainless as that with which he entered it, and this fact is not forgotton.

Tim University boat race between the Ox ford and Cambridge crews la always a matter of exciting interest In England. There have been twenty-eight of these aquatic contests In as many years, and Oxford has been sixteen times the winner. The first three were won by Cambridge, and the second three by Oxford; of the succeeding live contests, three were won by Cambridge and two by Oxford, and 'then Oxford had nu extraordinary run of luck and won nine consecutive races from 1861 to 1869. So many victories for Oxford made the thing rather monotonous, and there was gen eral rejoicing in England, except among the Oxford' men themselves, when the Cam( bridge boat came In ahead last year. Cam • bridge has now won another victory, and,the Oxford men begin to see that they cannot keep the supremacy upon the water except by hard work.
