THE WITHERED .DAISIES,,
And why a daisy wroa th I twine
instead of dewy rose*.
To hang about the holy shrine
Where our lost child reposes.
The fields wore white with daisies;
k r ou know how l>eautihil she grow,
How fair and sweot and lovely.
Hut the violot wet with morning uew
Is not mure pure and holy.
She flittod like sunbeam bright
Around our oottage door.
Her footsteps as a fairy's light
Made music on the floor;
On every flowor.ol wood or glade,
She lavished childish praise*.
She loved all things that God had made,
But most she loved the daisies.
How many things beyond her years
1 hat then were all unheeded,
We think of now with Minding tears,
Sweet teachings that we needed.
Three happy years we led her feet
Along life's thorny maxes,
The fourth we laid her down to sleep
Amid the April daisies.
’Tls well, and we are satisfied,
For Ho who gave the blossom,
Who lent to us our angel child,
Keoalled her to his bosom}
And waiting till he calls for me
To sing with her his praises,
I'll keep her blessed moraory
Embalmed In April daises.

Trie Fall rastiless.
The French lanhi ms, a*, redacted by
the fr 11 imporla iooR in New York for the
fall, indicate a decided absence of the
extravagances aud absurdities of fortum
seasons, and a marked improvement in
matters of taste. The following are
leading poiuts:
Cniraa«ca with tabliora are the conf-pic-
uous feature# of the new coatnmos, yet
there are also many polonaiaes. Thu ten
dency is toward plaiu styles and rich m i-
t< rials. Many skirts have no flounce*
behind, but hang in classic fold* from
waist to foot, whilo others are draped lo
look an bouffant as they were in tho days
of the Grecian bend. Tho tonrnuro i.s
very popnlar iu Paris, though out of I *
vor hero. Smooth, straight fronts end
clinging aide-breadths, drawn closely to
the figure by strings at tho back, in-k«
the touruuroH of new suits very marked;
otherwise the effect is the same an that ••(
the present costume. There are i»ca
ways of arranging two kinds of materbil
in a suit; for instance, the three from
breadths will be plaid, aud the three back
ones a plaiu color; or ihe front one will
ho matchless sill;, while the back is three
widths of plain ailk held in a great qqad-
rupplo pleat from the belt to the ground;
or else the front is camel's hair, und tho
back is silk of the same shade. In most
cases the back widths are without hori
zontal trimmings, flounces, Ac., although
such ornaments may be abundant in
front.
Fall bonnets are large, with flaring
fronts, not coronets, but with the front
of the bonnet turned upward and out
ward. There are both stiff und soft
crowns in these combinations of velvot
and groH grain. The new shapes cooio
sufficiently far forward and extend back
ward, being made with reforonce to the
now low coiffure that has very little ou
top of the head mid a long loose loop be
hind, called tho Catogou loop, tiod lip
behind iu the way horses' tails are oftou
seen ! There is still much fmoe trimming
in tho way of ruohes of tulle or lisse and
twists of ribbon. Outsido trimmings
are massed in front aud down the middle
of the crown. Parisian ladies wear com
pact bonnet* without any drapery, but
some imported bonnets havo ribbou
streamers behind and wide strings of silk.
More colored bonnets are brought out
than usual, as the white chip bonnets of
summer will be abandoned early in Bep-
teinber, and ladies will want n colored
hat before putting on tho black velvet of
midwinter. The refined choice lies among
such colors as soalskiu brown (with white
reddish cast,) dark steel, dark gray, and
marine blue. Experienced milliners
have little faith in any new shades this
Nt'SflOfl.
Flowers are massed iu clusters in tho
front, nud have branches passing down
the middle of the crown. Hoses prevail
bh they always do. Tho dark red Japan
ese rose, with its fluted petals, is the
novelty; there are also many pale pink
rosos and dark crimson ones, though but
very few tea roses.
I'asbiou'i “Meatrletlosia.*
A writer ou fashions and fashiou’s peu-
aueett, says: “About the middle of the
teuth century there came up a terrible aud
cruol corset, called coffee hardies. Those
were stiffened with stool aud claspod with
brass or gold. Wo know very woll, from
tho piolnies of that period, whut intensely
siuuil waists were produced and whut
stiffness of figure. The French words
coi'jts andeerres (io tigVou), which seemed
to have suggeste 1 tit t word >• >rHet, could
not have better ev* l ’ * article of
dress. We do not kuow how many womeu
died of these corsets—probably more thau
have ever diod with broken heart. Men
us well us womeu wore the horrible things.
One lady of rank Ih described as wearing
‘n splendid girdle of beaten gold nhout
her middle small.’ Olmncer describes one
of bis beauties as being ‘small as a woasel
and upright as a bolt,’ which does not
suggest a very pleasing image of foiuulo
loveliness to the modern miud. But, if
it was the thing to lace in the wuists, it
wns another to augment the Hize of (he
skirt until its outrageous oircumfurc
should make any waist look small. This
idea undoubtedly arose when the rich
ailkH of the middle ages, stiffened with
gold aud brocade, cume to be pluitud into
a skirt for a slender figure. The groat
mass stood out of ilsull, aud made the
waist look very sloudcr. It was u fabric
unknown to tho Homans und Greeks, who
had mostly a soft woolen ololh out of
which to couatrucl thoir dresses, and it
made a fashion for itsolf. We find those
handsome creatures, tho Italian women
of the fifteenth century, outdoing all
others iu this luxury of the robe. Queen
Catherine de Medioi stauds iu ouo of the
galleries at Florence iu stately sploudor,
with n hoop of cuortuons dimoUHions
holding out her splendid brocade. In fact,
tho heavy skirt at ouoo suggested the
hoop and necessitated it, for it was
heavy us to fatigue tho wearer ; nrul the
hoop is always u great relief.”

From the Christian Observer,
'rise Love of the Tratfc.
An boneat, earnest, and intelligent love
of truth constitutes the noblest and most
r« Ji.tble trait found among men. But
that there are groat differences amoug
men, im to tho ready perception, and ap
preciation of -truth, is as dear as tho
shining of the sun. Home have no natu
ral and honorable affinity for it. They
are not among those, “who by reason of
use, have their senses exercised to the dis
cerning of both good and evil. Henoe
they aro riever fixed, and never reliable,
here trnth is concerned. Tboy are like
the sands of the desert driven by the
winds, bore to-day and gone to-morrow.
They cannot understand why any should
make a great and decisive stand for truth,
or why they should face obloquy and
brave persecution for causes whioh they
regard as but trivial. Bnch men are never
to be trustod where truth requires a de
fender. And if the church uf God had
been left wholly to them, her glory would
have departed loug siuce. Their fears,
their affinities, aud their downward facili
ties nil tend towurd error and erromts.
And just ns they aro regardless of truth,
are they prodigious in their professions
t( liberality. Where they ere ambitious
and pretentious, they Lave an outside
gospel for one party, and au inside gos-
pel for another. To them, anything
is gospel whioh suits the times and wins
pplause. They fritter away the Bible,

K Kt pin a llurrsn Fiiehh.—Y., Dayton
()., asks how butter that in prime
kept for Hovorul weeks in Hummer. The
best way to keep butter is to exclude the
air from it aud put it iu a cool,
place; but the first is tho moat important
if the butter is iu a pail, tub or jar, cov
er it one or two inches with the strongOKt
brine made from the boat Onoudaga but
tor salt. Hetuoinber, it will not do to
simply cover it with salt; the air will pass
through the Halt, but not through the
brine. If tho package has a tight fitting
cover, ho much the bettor. The beHt but-
tor, exposed to the air in summer, will
uot keep perfect for twenty-four bourn.
Butter for the family should bo kept con
stantly under briuo.—American Farmer.
Composition Cakk. — One pound of
sifte 1 flour, with 2 tonspooufulH of bak
ing powder well siftod through it, 1 pound
of .sugar, half pound of buttor. half pint
of sweat cream, aud l gill of white bran
dy. Bake iu a slow oven. Citron or
candied lemon improve this cake.

velt Hospital while-lead paiut lias beeu
found, after trying utmost every plan of
treatment hitherto proposed, to ho iho
best and cleanest application. Mix us for
paiutiug, but comthlorably thiokor, and
apply with a brush. A very neat and aa 1 -
18factory dressing iu superficial bums
consists in coating the surface with mu
cilage, and then covering it with powder
ed lycopodium.
Light Oatmeal Cakes. — Soak oue
pound of oatmeal for ten or twelve honra
iu one pint of sour buttermilk. Then rub
quarter of au ouuoe of carbonate of soda
aud a littlo Halt into ono pound of flour
and mix with the oatnie il. Huh it out to
any tbiukuess required, and bake iu a
moderate oven.
Sandwiches.—Out a thick slice of broad
and toast it brown on cither Ride; when
cold it must be slit and the meat theu in
serted, and the sandwich, instead of being
dry, will retain nil the moisture of fresh
cut bread. A good lining for a sandwich
is made with hard-boiled eggs cut iu
slices, and chopped anchovies.
Bbeakfast Rolls.—Boil ono pint of
now milk when cooled to about milk
, add oue groat spoonful of lard, two
of sugar, aud one-half teaspoonful of salt,
with a half teacup of yeast. Stir in one
qaart of sifted flour, and put in a warm
place to rise. I do this at five in the after
noon, let it rise till nine or ten, then stir
in auother quart of aifted flour. Let it
rise till morning, when, if kept iu a warm
place, it will be ready to mould aud make
into rolls. After moulding, roll out about
an inch thiok, eut with a common biscuit-
cutter, and fold together in the same way
that a turnover ia made, plaoing a small

and molt down its pure gold into quanti-
ties too light to be appreciable on the
Monies of truth. Ifenoe, their pulpits give
no offeuce to the sinner, snd no solid
food to the Christian. They are fond of
uovoilieH, bocauso thoy are novelties to
them, not knowing that they have been
rotting for ages amoug the rubbish of
error. Such men have the art, in a most
superior degree, of reducing Christianity
to the lowest possible quantity without
apparently annihilating its existence.
On the other hand, there are men, who
have au honest, steady affinity for truth
as such.* They are endowed with a ready
und quick perception of it wherever
found. “By reasou of use, thoy have
thoir souses exercised,’’ so thut iu regard
to it, whonever seen, they honor it, and
grasp it, and hold it fast for life. But
such men ore uot driven about by evory
wind of doctrine, nor are thoy hampered
to-day, by tho fallacies of yesterday. They
know tho truth, nud the truth has made
them free, froo from the eudless fluctua
tions of folly, free from tho betrayal of
truth, freo from shams, inconsistencies
and falsehoods, and free fro^i a speoklod
reputation, which the world doubts, much
moro than it admires. 8u-h men look
upou truth as Uie groat contrnl object of
attraction, around whioh their lives aud
acts must ever move. They do not mako
themselves tho centre, and all things else
subordinate. Thoy take divine truth as
it is revealod, without change, alteration,
or umondmout. Thdy uoither harden it
nor soften it, widen it nor narrow it, nor
vurioguto it with whimR, falsehoods, or
aelf-conoeits. As it is, they take it, and
stand by it.
But what irt truo of diviue truth, is true
of nil truth. It is the lovers of truth, in
nil tho departments of knowledge, that
are tho true men upon wkoui the world
may well rely.

outod and imprisoued for preaching in a
dissenting church, a circumstance whioh
led to a change in the lava that made
such au act an offense.
—The Rev. William Dean, a Baptist
missionary at Bangkok, Biaiu, writes that
in June he viaited Bauplnaoi, where he
found 40 Chinese candidates for member
ship, w hom he baptized and admitted to
the church there, which now numbers 70
communicants. At another town, a few
miles distant, he baptized 25 Chinese,
and organized them into a church aooiety
with 7 other*.
—A remarkable religions awakening is
reported iu North China. Two yean ago
Oheefoo, a Buddhist, happening to enter
a Christian churob, beoame a convert to
Chriatii^nity, and imqpdiftt*!? went to la
bor among the poople of his native town
to indnoe them to embreoe the earn* reli
gion. Thus far there have been 160 con
vert*. The place of the revival ia SOO
mile* distant from the reaidanee of any
missionary, and outride of the ordinary
line* of travel.
