I went this afternoon to see Kate
Maxwell. Kate is much younger than l f
bat she Is my best friend. She Eves
just two wjanras away, and keeps house
for her brother, and teaches her little
nephew Hugh. He it jut the worst lit-
tle fefiow. the moat unruly. selfoh. hot-
headed little scamp, as I hare found out
from observation. Kate is not fond of
"talking over her trouble*.’' and she Mer
er mentions him in the light of a pelt—
She is Qpt quite out of her teens, but she
has the wiaeat Etxle head I ever nr on
youag shoulders. and she is so patient
. and kind. Mr. Maxwell seems aocoid
and distant to her. too, though Tin very
sure he must love her. Well. I suppose
that is the way with all great men—
they enene home tired and wearied with
the labors of the day. and haTe no time to
.-mile as they pass through the hall, or to
epcak a word of approval or appreciation, j
And I suppose it L« a part of their great-1
With too much culture it may grow into
the fiqmorice-trte, and all ha sweetness lie
tinder the ground; or sadder still, it may
tun into a great luxuriant weed,
bering the earth with iu rank unfruiriui-
ness! And again, with too little care,
the seed that might hare been a mighty
tree makes only a flower-shrub, insignifi
cant, and blooming in the dark. The
first thing I have attempted to teach Hugh
has been to hare, confidence in me, to
confide in me, and to rely on what I say
to him; for sales he leans to trust
something. I eaa never hope to influence
him.”
When Kate finished. I sat silent for
name time, wondering where she had
learned so much. Now I know nothing
about children, never having brother or
sister; but it seemed to me this was the
wimtddiiuk I had ever heard; and
I thought Mr. Maxwell, with all his
reputation, and his talents, and his states
manship. bad a great deal yet to karn.—
It seems, if he had ever thought about it
real seriously, be must have seen his er

However good he may be, from the long

LEWIS SAYS OP THEM EC HIS 5SW BOOK.
Hr. Lewis has no mercy upon the fall
dress cf low neck and abort sleeve* It
is immodest as it ia unhealthy. The
mania for extravagant trimmings of wo-
tneu’B drees has become insufferable.
Ear-rings are barbarous; finger-rings
vulgar. The wearing of f*to» hair
oi atrocity. Preparations for the
complexion are among the most objec
tionable outrages which women perpe
trates upon hereelf. The habit of pad
ding the bast of dresses, so universal
among dressmakers, destroys the natural
functions of the breasts. Lacing pro

The garter seriously influences the
circulation of the foot It is not wrong
to wish to keep the stocking
and if the calf of the leg be very large,
the knee small, and the circulation vi
gorous, an elastic gaiter may be used
without seriotta injury. - ‘‘But,” says
Hr. Lewis, “a* most American girls hsVc
slender legs”—this we are assured is not
true—“as there is bat little enlargement
of the calf, the pressure of the garter
required to keep the stocking in -position
ia very injurious. It produces absorp
tion of the most important muscles, and
therefore a weakness of the leg*; a lack
of ctrcnlation, sad therefore coldness of
the feet." He recommends instead of
garters that the stockings should be.
fastened by straps to the waist.
Dancing he approves of, bnt round
