FLIRTATION srailflA
A crowded room—enchanting Iwauty,
In the waltz, glides here and there,
To strains of sweet, delicious music,
Floating softly on the air.
Small hands held in firmer grasp,
Pulses beating, light feet flying;
Melting glances, softly given;
Music swelling, fading, dying.
Thus we dance; and then fair Pussy,
Leaning lightly on my arm.
s 'vs ‘.Oh, dear! Let us stop dancing,
' For—Oh,dear!—it’sawful warm!”
Then we leave the dancing throng,
And go out into the night,
To a quiet, shady comer,
Where we are quite hid from sight,
There we sit and talk sweet nonsense.
Till I feel my heart grow bolder;^
Then 1 steal my arm ’round Pussy,.
Witli her brown head on my shoulder.
Once a <r ain wejoin the dancers,
And 1 notice smiles and glancing
Given me (but why I know not)
Hy the revellers near us dancing.
Then fair Pussy, looking upward
To answer something I have said,
Takes in at once the situation—
Drops her eyes—her face grows red.
Out into the night once more,'
The music's strains still growing louder;
“How horrid!" Pussy says: “just look!
your shoulder's white as snow with pow
der!” .

SWEET LOVE AND I.
Sweet Love and I have strangers been
These many years,
So many years.
He came to me when Life was green
And free from fears.
These present fears.
He came, and for a little space
My life was gladdened by his grace;
Hut soon he tied, and Joy gave place
To grief and tears.
“< t Love, come to me once again!”
Mv lone heart sighs.
Ho sadly sighs.
“Retail thy fearless nature, then,”
Sweet Love replies,
Soltly replies.
“Thou Ciinst not ? Then I cannot be
Tlie same that once I was to thee.'
There's no room in the heart for me,
When fears arise.

FASHION NOTES.
Masculine-Looking Fonts In Favor-The
Lathered Dress—How to
Choose Milks.
Masculine-looking cut-away coats
or jackets are at present much recom
mended as supplementary wraps,
matching the dress, and are consid
ered far more stylish for young ladies
than one handsome wrap, which is
made to do general duty. Imported
dresses of this variety made of mot
tled wool suitings were among the
ending features at recent openings.
The newest polonaise is of a coat-like
design, to serve for the use of heavy
suitings worn in the street. Fre-
quently this design is worn over a
short skirt which has absolutely no
trimming,except that ui>on the apron
front. It is observed that there is a
general inquiry for basques, sacques,
and all designs which have, or may
lie, made to represent the addition of
a vest. Even when this simulation
of a vest is not called a vest, it will
be noticed that the trimming is made
to occupy the lengthwise centres in
like manner. Basques show but little
variety this month, and even this is
chiefly produced by trimming. The.
“Russian waist,” as it is called in
Paris, is simply a blouse waist, and
has become a leading model. It is
exceedingly stylish in black silk for
young ladies, and the latest variation
ujjoii the original theme shows a
blouse with a yoke front and back
perfectly plain, with long side forms.
THE GATHERED DRESS.
This style is making its way but
slowly; one .is so much afraid of
bringing back short waists by wel
coming it too well that one hesitates.
The round waist is easily enough
adopted by young women whose
figure is irreproachable. But when
one is not in such happy condition,
it is best to go without this fanciful
trifle. The round waist is not becom
ing to a stout woman; for her the
nrinecsse shape is better suited. The
habit basque offers the advantage of
broken lines, which allow more ad-
v hesion to the requirements of certain
\ >irf s. We must observe, however,
the cut of the coat undergoes
•..t ry many modifications according
to the person to which it is destined.
The habit basque, if tastefully cut, is
not lacking in elegance; we do not
mean that with long square tails fly
ing up at every movement. The pret
tiest style is that in which the tails
are joined together over the train of
the skirt with a pretty bow formed of
<lrooping loops of ribbon.
This winter we shall have tight
sleeves with white cuffs turned down
overthem,a very neat and pretty style
—and for evening dress the semi-long
open sleeve, with plenty of lace trim
mings, which shows off' a pretty ann
to so much advantage. With these
sleeves bracelets are more fashionable
and worn in greater quantities than
ever. Ladies wear parte bonheurs of
all shapes and styles in such numbers
as to cover the arm almost to the el
bow.
DRESS SILKS.
American calicoes, as all are aware,
art* being steadily supplied to the
Manchester market. But now comes
another surprise. Large orders have
been received from Paris by Ameri
can silk manufacturers for the manu
facture of a certain kind of silk goods.
The judges at the Centennial Exposi
tion pronounced American machine
ry for the manufacture of silk goods
superior to any in use in Europe. No
other silks, foreign or domestic, are
manufactured on the same principle
** the Cheney American silks.
They are warranted not to cut or wear
shiny, and are fast becoming the gen
eral favorite with the ladies. They
are made expressly with an unobtru
sive lustre', which harmonizes beau
tifully with the camel’s hair and all
fashionable dress goods, and for real
service are pre-eminently the choicest
silks offered. The black or colored
gros-grain dress silks, 22 inches wide,
are now reduced to $1 50 per yard,and
they arc warranted all silk and not
to cut. We have also the all silk ar-
niure, a new and serviceable fabric,
in black and colors, in a great variety
of patterns, which is especially adapt
ed for polonaise or suits, and com
bines most beautifully with plain
silks or wool goods. It is a soft,
clinging texture, that will bear any
amountof abuse and will not wrin
kle or become defaced. This also is
22 inches wide and *1 50 the yard.
The same manufacture in all silk
gros faille comes in day shades as
well as in brilliant evening shades,
rivaling in effect the most expensive
fabrics, and can be had at $1 the
yard. Then we have the 24-inch
Florentine silks, in black and colors,
for all purposes of lining, at 70 cents
a yard. These will drape beautifully,
having a soft, crepe-like appearance.
HOW TO SELECT DRESS SILKS.
Ladies are advised by the most
competent judges in selecting silks for
wear to choose rather those which
have a fine cord and mellow feel than
those witli heavy grain and harsh
touch. The explanation of this lies
hi the fact that many of the manu-
weiglit of their goods without adding
to their durability. Consequently it
is no longer safe to l>e influenced by
the weight as formerly in the pur
chase of silks; for, in* reality, light,
soft goods are frequehtly superior to
those that are much heavier.
CftMMiral Education lor Girin.
At a meeting on Thursday of the
committees in Boston having under
discussion the question of affording
classical instruction to girls in the
higher public schools of the city, a
letter was read from President Porter
of Yale College, iu which he sayi
“ I must suppose that 1
those

who favor such a measure for
the Public Latin School would also
desire to bring boys and girls together
in educational institutions of every
description, from the primary school
to the college and university. There
can be no serious objections to the
presence of children of both sexes
m elementary schools, for the most
obvious reasons. But the reasons
are as obvious, in my judgment why
boys and girls from the ages of 14 to
18 should not recite in the same class
room, nor meet in the same study
hall, nor encounter one another in
the same passages of a large public
school. First of all, the natural feel
ings of rightly trained boys and girls
are offended by social intercourse of
this sort, so frequent, so free, and so
unceremonious. Civilization of eve
ry description, and Christian civiliza
tion pre-eminently, is grounded in,
is sustained by, certain restraints of
modesty and reserve in the relations
of the two sexes. These restraints
are recognized as of special impor
tance while boys and girls are
becoming young men and young wo
men. That which is accepted and
enforced as a restraint in the begin
ning of civilization is recognized as a
grace where civilization is advanced,
when manners are established by the
intelligent consent of the community
and modesty becomes a second na
ture and an established law. We
ought not to forget that, though our
civilization is greatly advanced, yet
in education we are renewing and
reinforcing upon ‘new and raw mate
rial’ the processes through which
communities have slowly emerged
from barbarism to Christian manners
and sentiments. If in any of the
stages of education we expose our
boys and girls to that familiarity
which offends or weakens modesty,
we tend to barbarism and immoraii-
* * * Holding as I do that
the perfection of man depends upon
the contrasted and supplementary en
dowments and capacities of intellect
and heart in the two sexes, which
make man one, I believe that each
sex should be trained by a different
method, even if the studies are the
same. I have no objection to learned
women, but I would have them re
main women; and if they are to be
perfect women they must be
trained as women; and womanhood,
even in girlish years, requires isola
tion and reserve, if nothing more.”
Asthma.—Take one half-ounce of
hydrate potassa, put it into a pint of
water, and take a teaspoonful two or
three times a day.
Fever and Ague.—One pint of
pure vinegar and 6 ounces of salt,
mixed. Drink one-half pint of mix
ture and in an hour took balance,
when I was relieved of a black mass
of bile, and have not had a shiver or
a shake since.
Taking Care of the Hands.—
The hands may be kept smooth and
white by the free use of glycerine af
ter washing, and by frequently rub
bing them dry in bran or meal. Ap
ply glycerine before retiring, and
sleep in warm gloves or woolen mit
tens.
To Remove Black-heads from
the Skin.—Black-heads can be got
rid of and prevented from returning,
by washing with tepid water, by
proper friction with a towel, and by
applying a little cold cream.
Scrofulous Sore Eyes. — The
common blue violets, which grow
wild in many places; take the top
and root and wash clean, and dry;
make a tea, and drink several times
a day; wash the eyes with it each
time.
To Keep Cider from Becoming
Sour.—Last fall I put some cider in
a kettle and brought it to a boiling
heat; then filled some bottles which
I had ready, as for canning fruit, and
poured the hot cider into the bottles,
and put the corks in tight. The cider
is as sweet now as new cider.
Lemon Jelly.—One ounce of gel
atine, one and a half pounds of white
sugar, three grated lemons, use only
the rind of one; pour one quart of
boiling water on tne gelatine, add the
lemon and sugar, mix well, then
strain; add a glass of sherry wine;
pour in molds to cool.
Spice Balls.—One-half cupful
good butter and one cupful sugar,
creamed; one well-beaten egg, half-
cupful molasses, half cupful sweet
milk, one cupful chopped raisins,
teaspoonful of ground cloves, one
grated nutmeg, teaspoonful of soda ;
mix with sifted flour enough to roll
out; cut in pieces and roll up in a
ball: do not let them touch each oth
er in the pan; when baked, frost, fla
vor the frosting with lemon.
Dried Apple Cake.—Soak three
cupfuls dried apples over night, then
draw oft' the water, through a sieve ;
chop the apples slightly, then simmer
them in three cupfuls of molasses for
two hours; after that, add two eggs,
one cupful sugar, one cupful sweet
milk or water, three-quarters cupful
butter and lard, one teaspoonful ba
king powder, flour enough to make
pretty stifFbatter, add cinnamon and
cloves to taste.
—Dr. Richard Metcalfe in a recent
treatise asserts that there are times
when diseases of a certain class pre
vail widely and with deadly effect;
that then they gradually contract the
area of their action, diminish their
intensity, and sometimes disappear.
Thus, the plague once so prevalent in
Europe is no longer known there, or
even in the Eastern regions whence
itf came. But an epidemic may re
turn. The small-pox, which was so
destructive of human life, and conse
quently became rare, latterly, in some
British cities, assumed the character
of a pestilence. The practice of vac
cination and the abatement of the
disease Dr. Metcalfe does not regard
in the light of cause and effect, but
rather as a coincidence. He opposes
vaccination on the ground also of its
acting as a check on the increase of
population. But Dr. Collie, of the
Hamerton Hospital, found that of 915
eases the unvaccinated died at the
rate of 53 per cent.; the badly vaccin
ated at the rate of 26 per cent.; and
the “fairly well” at the rate of 2.3
per cent. No death occurred in the
case of any person under 16 years of
age who showed two good cicatrices
of vaccination, and only two such
jiersons died who were over 16 years.
In Germany again, where vaccination
is performed at least twice during a
lifetime, there has no reason been
given for any complaint regarding a
neglect of the command to be fruitful
and multiply. Mr. Metcalfe hardly
made his points good.
A Pigeon’s Love.—A writer in the
‘Scottish Naturalist tells a story of a
pigeon, which illustrates the truth of
the saying that God tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb, and the
higher power of instinct prompted
by parental love. Two pigeons had
built their nests in the top story of
the dove-cote, and had hatched their
young, which came out of the egg
about the middle of March, 1876. On
March 16, a very severe storm of
snow and snow-drift set in at dusk.
It must be noticed that the door of
the dove-cote looked to the north-west
from whence the storm was coming,
so that the snow blew right into the
portal where the young pigeons were
lying; only a few days old. The
storm was very severe, so much so
that it was thought to be the hardest
that had happened for many years,
and the young brood would have, no
doubt perished but for the happy ex
pedient that the father of the young
pigeons adopted. He stood in the
doorway, with liis tail spread out to
the storm, and the wings in a flutter
ing position, evidently with the in
tention of stopping the draught, so
as to shelter his naked offspring; and
there he stood for hours, with the
snow thick upon his back and tail,
breaking the intensity of the cold.
But for this the youug must have
died.
THE CALL OF THE CHRISTIAN.
BY WII1TT1EK.
Not always as the whirlwind’s rush.
On Horeb's mount of fear;
Not always as the burning bush
To Midian’s shepherd seer;
Nor as the awful voice which came
To Israel’s prophet-bards,
Nor as thfe tongues of cloven flame,
Nor gift of fearful words.
Not always thus, with outward sign
Of Are or voice from heaven.
The message of a truth divine.
The cail of God is given.
Awakening in the human heart
Love for the true and right,
Zeal for the Christian's “better part,”
Strength for the Christian’s tight.
But gently, by a thousand things
Which o'er our spirits pass.
Like breezes o’er the harp's fine strings,
Or vapors o'er a glass,
Leaving their token, strange and new,
Of music or of shade,
The summons to the right and true
And merciful is made.
O then, if gleams of truth and light
Flash o'er thy waiting mind,
Unfolding to thy mental sight
The wants of human kind;
If, brooding over human grief,
The earnest wish is known.
To soothe and gladden with relief.
And anguish not thine own—
Though heralded with naught of fea.-,
.a.-- Or outward sign or show:
Though only lo the inward ear
It whispers soft and low;
Though dropping, as the manna fell,
Unseen, yet from above.
Noiseless iis dew-fall, heed it well—
Thy Father's call of love!
Rankin’* Mother.
Ruskin says: “Much I owe to my
mother for. having so exercised me in
the Scriptures as to make me grasp
them in wliat my correspondent
would call their ‘concrete whole;’and
above all, taught me to reverence
them as transcending all thought,and
adorning all conduct. This she ef
fected, not by her own sayings or per
sonal authority, but simply by com
pelling me to read the book thorough
ly for myself. As soon as I was able
to read with fluency she began a
course of Bible-work with me, which
never ceased until I went to Oxford.
She read alternate verses with me,
watching at first every intonation of
my voice, and correcting the false
ones, till she made me understand
the verse, if within my reach, right
ly and energetically. It might be
beyond me altogether, that she did
not care about; but she made sure
that as soon as I got hold of it at all,
I should get hold of it by the right
end. In this way she began with the
first verse of Genesis, and went
straight through to the last verse of
the Apocalypse—hard names, Num
bers, Levitical law and all; and be
gan again at Genesis next day. If a
name was hard, the better exercise
in pronunciation; if a chapter was
tiresome, tthe better lessen in pa
tience; if loathsome, the better lessen
in faith that there was some use in
its being so outspoken. After our
chapters (from two to three a day, ac
cording to their length, the first
thing after breakfast, and no inter
ruption from servants allowed—none
from visitors, who either joined in the
reading or had to stay up-stairs—and
none from any visitings or excursions
except by real traveling), I had to
learn a few verses by heart, or repeat,
to make sure I had* not lost some
thing of what was already known.
And, with the chapters above enu
merated, I had to learn the whole
body of the fine old Scottish para
phrases, which are good, melodious,
and forceful verse, and to which, to
gether with the Bible itself, I owe
the first cultivation of my ear in
sound. It is strange that, of all the
pieces of the Bible which my mother
thus taught me, that which cost me
most to learn, and which was, to my
child’s mind, chiefly repulsive—the
one hundred and nineteenth
Psalm—has now become of all the
most precious to me in its overflow
ing and glorious passion of love for
the lawof God.

“Pn, Pr»j *Oud.”
I know a man. He is not a Chris
tian. His daily life is not in accord
ance with even principles of morali-
ity. He has three beautiful, well-
behaved children. The other day he
told me this incident of one of them,
his little girl three or four years old:
“Perhaps some people would think
it sacrilege, but I don’t; but for some
time back I have been in the habit of
reading the Bible, and of having
prayers every night before the chil
dren go to bed. I have done it be
cause it has a good influence on the
children, and because I hope it may
have a good influence upon myself.
Last night I went to the lodge (he
is a Mason), and did not get home
till after eleven o’clock. The chil
dren, of course, were all abed, and I
supposed asleep. Before going to
bed I knelt down by my bed to pray,
and had been there but a moment
when I heard Nabbie get up from her
bed in the next room, and her little
feet came pattering across the floor to
me. I knelt perfectly still, she came
and knelt down beside me, without
saying a word. I did not notice her,
and in a moment, speaking just
above her breath, she said: ‘Pa, pray
’oud. I prayed. I kissed her and
she went back to bed. And I tell
you I have had nothing to affect me
so for the past ten years. I have
thought of nothing else all day long
but just that little ‘Pa, pray ’oud.’ ”
Important Nirrotroplr Revolution*.
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
The revelations of the microscope
were perhaps never more strikingly
illustrated than by Prof. Francis
Gerry Fairchild, in a recent lecture
in New York City. He stated that
during September,' 1876, he noticed
something of an epidemic among the
house-flies in that city. Their bodies
were often found by the dozen lying
upon the carpet beneath the gas-jet,
wings singed a little, as if from a sud
den plunge through flame. Having
an hour’s leisure one day, he picked
up the body of one of the suicides,
and, exposing the brain, subjected it
to a microseope of great magnifying
power, and to his astonishment
found it to be absolutely alive with
the minutest mites yet discovered—
so small, in fact, that ten thousand
or them could be easily packed in the
empty skull of a fly. This was the
condition of the discovery he had
made when, in June last. Prof.
Comstock, called upon him to identi
fy certain strange phenomena in a
specimen of urine submitted to him
for examination in a case ot Bright’s
disease of the kidneys ; and then he
says: “After months of unavailing
research, in every conceivable direc
tion, I found abundant specimens of
the fly-mite, with such swarms of the
ova in various fornis,of development,
as to settle the fact that the insects
were not there by accident, but that
on the other hand, they were within
their native territory.”
As is well known, Bright’s disease
of the kidneys is one of the most ob
scure and difficult diseases that phy
sicians have to contend with. The
discovery made by Prof. Fairchild—
the establishment of the identity of
the minute mite in the fly’s brain and
in the specimen of urine—may lead
to a more accurate knowledge of the
disease, and to the finding of an ef
fectual remedy. Meanwhile, it tends
to confirm the theory of the germ or
igin of most diseases.
