r 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!” . —Alban}/ Argus. 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. Chambers's Journal. 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 COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1877. 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. Mince Meat.—Two pounds of fresh bullock’s tongue boiled (or two pounds of lean roast beef,) one pound of beef suet, two pounds of stoned raisins, two of washed and dried cur rants, one pound candied citron; mince all these separately, then mix them well together and add to them two pounds of sugar, grated rind of four lemons, half an ounce of allspice half an ounce of cinnamon, half an ounce cloves, one ounce nutmegs, (all the spices ground) half an ounce salt, and one teaspoonful black pepper, three pints brandy, one pint sherry; mix well all together, and put in cov ered jars some nays before use; when you make your pies add to the above three pounds chopped apples and one pint sweet cider.
