to our heart is this work, and so much havo
wc ff It the responsibility of tho po
copy, that it has been our constant endeavor
to only allow to enter this department, such
things as would teud to elevate ail refine all of
our readers, and especially tho young. Often
times have we felt greatly disooiiragok and as
we all do, have had our despondent day*. It it
icccntiy we have been greatly encouragod and
am going to tell our reader* how. We have
ju-t returned from n delightful visit to tho
couutry, aipl am going to toll you of the
charming home of a lady who is n contribu

friend* sent their carriage and horses eleven
miles to give us the pleasure of a visit to tlroir
lovely heme, (juat think of taking hona* out
of a croji at such • time), there i< nothing in
the world so hearty and gonuino as country
hospitality. It waa after dark when we nr*

aandy walks and two tall lombirdy poplars as
"silent sentinels" by the door. A long piaxza
ran the whole length of the house, mid then
wo were invited to ait (as we were told toa
would soon bo ready) and enjoyed tho cool
night air. In a few moment* we were asked
into the dining room, and as wo had enjoyed
our eleven miles ride wo wero ready for aup-
j*er, and such a supper, everything charming
ly prepared, at Uio foot of tho table a dish of
fried fish just out of tho water, fried as ouly a
good housekeeper knows how to do it, then
there wcic biuuiu and wnfllc«<,rolls and honoy
and preserves, and tho most beautiful cake,
and such a disli of lucious soft peaehos, and
rrrsin nnd milk as you would only dud in tho
country, und then the beautiful manner in
which the table was arranged, flowers in the
ctt.tir; slid everything served with ao much
taste. \\ c fl it at dm © our IiosUm wuh a lady

Oca Fasaion Lettex.—As the season is so
far advanced now, and it is too car 1 / for fs!I
fashions I have concluded to tctl iny readers
how tl^o very rich fashionable people at tho
north dress. I don't think o-.r ladies would
eve r be so foolish, even if they had the wealth,
for wc give them credit for loo much good
sense. There are what is called dealers in floe
costumes north, nnd when there arc masque
rade ball*, etc. fashionable ladies go to them
and order their dreases. Last winter a lady
went to one of these dealers and told him there
Was tu be a masquerade aud she wished the
handsomest and most original dross there, and
asked ff he could supply it. If© said he could,
iud she asked whnt be would suggest, he re
plied, "I think madam* wonhl look well in
bird of paradise costume.” Bhe gave her
order, and lie mode her a dress, long train
covered with the feathers of the red, superb
king, and other famous bird* of poradisc, that
coal five hundred dollars. Mow this lady 11 1 I
a friend (who wa* nJ*o something of a rival,)
und a few day* otter her visit to the costumer
*h© put iu an appearance and also said
wanted tli© handsomest costume In; t
furnish for the bail. "You know what some or
Ujc costumes are to be, don’t you?” sha aiked,
kukisg him right iu the cyes.JWell, of course
he confessed lie did. "Well,” and here she
hand'd him n bill, arnl'u big on©. "This is a
retainer that I uni not outshined.” You
wager she was not. Jlor dross was male up
entirely of tho breast of humming birds ou a
rich purple and was considered tho prize
tunic. Feather dresses, of course are not c mi
nion, os the cost is excessive. The emperor of
Brazil has a robe of slut© that coil nearly £10,
«00. On one side it is made up of thd scloctod
feathers of the cock of the rock, and on tho
thcr of feathers from a hummer, so rare that
are hardly ten specimens in tho Unit-t
States.

I’m awfully sorry for poor Jaek Eoe;
He’s that boy that lives with his aunt, you know;
And be says bis house Is filled with gloom
Because it ha* got no "mother's room."
I Mil you what, tt is fine enough
To talk of "houdolzs" and such fancy stuff.
But the room of rooms that seems best to me,
The room where I'd always rather be.
Js mother's room, where a fellow can rest.
And talk ot the thiup bis heart loves best
W'Jiat if I do get dirt about,
And sometimes startle my aunt with a shout?
It Is mother’s room, and If she don't mind.
To the hints of others I’m always blind.
Hay he J lose my things- what then ?
Iu mother’s room I find them sgain.
And I’ve never denied that I Utter the floor
With marbles and tops and many thinp more:
But J tell you, for boys with a tfred head,
