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.

First wo must tell you tllnt our 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* rhed, and ai we drove up wo could soo a love ly garden in tho moonlight, with It* white 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 of idifeaUou aad refinement.

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.
