Tito gal* roared through tin* trees « f the public square, and tho ieicles rattled down fiom the eaves. It was as dosolato a winter's night mh you ovor saw. Suddenly, a barefooted littlo girl, thinly clad, mid shivering with cold, turned n corner, and enmo fane to face with one of (ho moat brilliantly-lighted toy shop* in that quarter of lint town. She hull evidently been abroad lo gather fuel for a scanty lire, for ahe carried an old, torn IniHkot on hor arm, in which were chips and other bit* of reltiso wood, which had been picked up everywhere and anywhere. At sight of ill* dazzling window and of the glorie* it revealed, the poor little thing stopped, llor eyes sparkled with joy. Her brontli name abort. For a moment aho forgot tho want mid misery ut homo—tho tirdrss room, tin* empty cupboard, tho sick mother —and could think of nothing but tho lovely things tho window contained. Oh ! that doll, that glorious, gorgeous ereaturo ; the spangled d.essr* that seemed covorod with diamonds ; the funny, funny musks. Nho hail never bad a Christmaatren hor- self; but ahe had'hoard of atioli things, and »he gasped, breathlessly, gazing at tho iloll. Whom wi'l it go, I wonder? To some one who lives in a beautiful houao, I expect, and ban everything ahe wants, oven to pies mid turkeys for Christmas,' ahe added, in a longing littlo voice, 'Oh, 'Twin the night b«Ibn CbrUtinne, when, all through the house.

Th* htyuds and Hmnndryads are not dc*d, but sleeping. What rosr* of Isttphlsr spring from those old gloomy pine woods! The great toy capital is Sonnchurg, where men, women mid children, aro employed on their production. Tito cost of toys at the pluce of'man ufacture is iufinitesiimiMy sttinll. The wood, the only inntoriHl of which they tiro inailo—is nothing, twopence half penny n tree. The labor is scarcely more valuable. Tore in these old for- eft*, are made on the most modern prin oiplo of divisioii of labor. Any toy wc may Isku up bus gntic through half * do/.uu hands. Hy iliiu motiiis great ru pidiiy is attiiined in llieir mantifncture. utul llte prime cost at homo ia less than u third of it penny. The transit along mountain mails, mid by water carriage to Ui'ltetdam, whence they are' convey ed by atoain to Kngbtnd, coats more than llieir actual manufacture, but yet there is a profit I* ft to the vendor.— These are tne true smashing toys, but tbe m-.re expensive, highly finished and rln htr:>te once t 1 corne from Germs tty or the adjacent countries.

Tli*n why continue such an evil practioe?— Gontlcmen do not admire it. Ask your brother, if you have onu, if he admire* it, und lie will tell you, wlmt for four of offending you, some other girta brother would not. Dr. Fook* in his book on "Medical Common Hem*," *ays, " A waist should be at least two fifths of the height ol th* figure, whatever eluo is dlapropor- tioned. According to tliia scale, the waist of a person five fret tbr** indie* high, should not bo less limn tweuty-iiv* and u quurtvr inches. Twenty five inchea ! "Oil! horrors!” you will say. Yet bow much bettor yon would appear with a generous, round, fully developed waist, instead of the distorted waist-like object you dignify with tho uunie of it. If you must wear tight corset* wait until you aro twenty-tiro or thirty years of age. Then you will have got your growth, aud it will not injui-o you bo much, uud perhaps by that time com uion Boiiso will com* to your aid and you will ace it in Its true light; but for merej *ako do not peri 1st now in draw ing your poor littl* undeveloped forma within the limit* of a certain space, checking by it your natural growth, making you crooked, necessitating pad ding, predisposing you to coniiimplion, canning your eyr* to appear watery and swollen, uud the drowning horror of all steadily and surely increasing the size of your nos*. The latter ia an undis- putnble fact which any medical man will corroborate. Thou again, a waist of seventeen or eighteen inches in oircnmlonmcc, bears tho same proportion to the shoulder* thut your neck would if your head was as large around as n large sized dinner p'nti. Think of that, and nt the same timo rest assured Hint it looks au unnat ural to every lover of beauty. I do not partionlarly object t « corsets, ill tlinmnidves, only to the use to which they aro put. You can pervert and abuse unytiling, nnd corsets are uot as injuriou*, |>ro|x>rly used, nan great many otlior articles of female apparel, although they in a measure, even when looao, prevent thorough digestion and chuck a perfectly fro*nnd healthful circulation. The standing complaint of lliesn small wnistud girls is, a " wretched headache.” No wonder. It would bo surprising were it otherwise. Will you evor loarn i to aeeyour folly in its trim light? In (he meantime ponder on the largo nos*, generally red on the tip; the bunged out eyes, and be convinced thut every onu who looks at you thinks, just a* the littl* hoy fluid of his sister, “ My, tna, miifn’t sho ho awfully Juntnud inside,” Floss.
