—The Chicago lnt r r-Ocean spells Sir
Henry Thompson's name without a p.
The great oreinationist eeriainly deserves
p's to his name as wall as peace to his
ashes.
—Cremation and inflation are the two
chief topics of the time. It is proposed
by the living to cremate the dead, and by
the dead to inflato the living. That is
about as the ease stands.
—Some one having asked whaf will be
oome of the undertakers if oremation be-
0dmea a custom honored in the observ
ance, it haa been suggested that they go
into the banking business.
—An old lady in tbo interior of this
State ia opposed to cremation unless the
friends of the deoeosed hire carriages and
drive the mourners up to the fair grounds
and baok.—Detroit Press.
—The conf uaion which cremation would
introduce into obituary prose and poetry
are well hit off io mu article in the St
liouia Globe. The oromationists, it nnyn,
have much tho better of the argument,
in so far as appearances and expedition
are concerned; but a strong light is made
by the advocates of iuterment, on the ca-
pacity of a corpse for evoking sympathy
and sentiment. If, they say, Arthur
Hallam had been cremated, what would
have become of Tennyson’s “In Memo-
riain ?” Were it a vane of Ashes that came
to England from tbo seas, where would
have been the fine apostrophe to tho
‘‘Fair Ship?" How would “Fair express
masaenger, that briugest my vunisbod
friend”look? or “Fair parcel-post ?" And
what would become of the epitaph litera
ture of our language, and other tongues,
“that matchless bead-roll of tender ex
pressions*** that treasury of the fine
sentiment,” as De Quincy calls them !
Could a cremated Shakespearo evoke a
curse on those who moved his culoined
bones, or a nameless wanderer place over
his jar the one word, “Miserimus”—most
miserable—which tells so sad a story with
uuoh pathetic brevity? No doubt ordi
nary and unimaginative grief can bo ex
pressed in such cremation verses ns the
followiug in mournful nonpareil:
Dearest Mamie, thou has loft ub,
And thy lo<« we deeply feel;
Two nouudB tlx thy proitent licit Is,
This contains thee, head and heel.
Or, should the tearful survivors prefer it,
this oan be substituted :
Afttletlone sore, long time she boro,
Or, if tho deceased have been in bis life
time “a merry tuau,” like the husband of
Juliet'a nurse, what more appropriate
than this:
Here I lie,
As suug
As a bug,
lu this jug.
Nor would oremation fail in historical
epitaphs. Thus when our 8i» Christo
pher Wren, Mr. Mullett, perishes, his
Westminister Abbey might bo found in a
tea-caddy, inscribed :
Seek yo Ida mouiiment—-sue label.
Or, parodying JohuKon’s famous Latin
verse, we might say :
Nihil lotiglt quod uou Muliavit.
Which might he freely truuslateil, “Ho
touched noihiug but to Mull-it.” Shake-
spearo’s famous epitaph offers no diffioul
ties:
»them hid,
? lid.
Mr. Qray’s elegy iu a rural gas-work is no
leas susceptible of adaptation, as witness
the followiug:
llare rests Ida a«hos on i
A youth to eottliia hikI
Fair sextons Irowuod n
Incineration marked him for its own.
No longer suok Ids ciutlers to disclose,
Nor draw Ids fino residuum from this spot,
Where they, aliko impalpable, repose,
Trusting ids spirit never folt ’t was hot.
Aud thus, concludes our 8t. Louis
namesake, we might go back through the
whole rauge of English literature fill we
should remark with tho old Wescouutry
bard:
1 hops his soul in heuvou doth dwell
Whose dust half tills his plcklo-bottel.
And thus wo again take our leave of this
fascinating subject, which wo have ouly
touohed but to adorn, aud hint to mourn
era that whoa they have made nu end of
the cereuiouies aud committed the dear
departed to his laid retort, they ntay sny
with KiugTienry:

The following from Ibe Danbury New
era hardly be called • fashion erticle, yet
we ere rare our tody readers will oonsider
It with interest:
YoSta housekeepers have to acquire
knowledge of domestic duties by careful
gradation. A Nelson street bride having
oooaaiou to boii eggs for breakfast, got
the desired time for their cooking, and
pot them in. Her husband liked his eggs
soft, and three minutes was the time re
quired to make them palatable. 8he sta
tioned herself in front of the dock, be
cause she did not dare to depend on her
memory, and stared at its face with awful
intensity. Here her husband fonnd her
when he came into the kitchen, and find
ing • out what she was doing asked bfcr
how long the eggs had been in. “One
minute,’’ she answered. He went to the
sink and turned over the pans, and
spread out his legs in frout of the glass
and felt of his uose, and moved to the
window and stared out at the soenery. Fi
nally he said : “Aint they about done, Ma
rin?” “Not yet,” she said. “It seems to me
those eggs have been cooking fifteen rain-
ntes,” ho explained. “Well, they aint
been cooking but a minute and a half by
this clock,” she positively asserted.
“Then all I’ve got to say,” explained the
fidgety man,” alter a pause, “is, that it is
the longest minute end a half 1 ever
saw.” There was another pause. “Well,
Matin,” he broke out, “ let’s have the
eggs, and I will rnn the risk.. I know it
is half an hour ninco I came inhere.”
‘.‘Do yon suppose I’m blind aud can’t see
a clock? It is only two minutes since
those eggs were put in the water. Hare
is the hand,” said she, pointing to the
hour hand, “and it has ouly gone over
those two dots, and each one of them is a
minute, aint it?” “Yes, each of them is
a ruinate, when the minute hand indicates
them, he coincided with smothered sar
casm, “but when tho hour band does it
each one of them is twelve minutes; or,
In other words, those eggs have been
cooking just twenty-four minutes, and,
as we have got no cold chisel, I nhall be
obliged to omit eggs on this occasion.”
And with this he plumped moodily iuto a
chair, and blie burst into tears.
Dresses.
WHITE 1UUEOK DRESSES.
Lovely dresses for summer eveuings
aro being made of old-time barege, both
plain and striped. The foundation of
such a dress should he a thin taffeta' silk
skirt, as tho frail barege cannot well sup- |
port tho weight of flounces. Two flouu-
ces of plain barege, gathered with shirred
pnff aud erect ruffle .above, and finished
with tbo inevitable pleating, will trim the
skirt prettily. The over-skirt Hhould have
inch-wide stripes of white, niul should bo
made iu Greek fashion, caught up high
on the right side, crossing the front iu
diagonal folds, falling to the foot in a
point on the left, where it is held down
l>y a row of bows from the waist to the
bottom, and thenco drawn upward behind
by a white sash ribon. The basqno of
tha striped Imrege should have folded
drapery on tbo bosom, a sort of collar,
and fully pleated cropo lisse. These in
expensive dresses of soft, transparent,
limp woolen fabrics will bo very popular
next summer. Blue striped bareges are
made iu this pretty fashion. Tho uutiqtie
Hlooves are cut off at the elbow, aud fin
ished with a puff of white tulle, a puff' of
blue silk, and a double ruffle of pleated
crepe lisse.
The pleated bloUHe-waists of last sum
mer will be as popular as ever. Cheviot
percales and linens, with thoir twilled
stripes and plaids, will be chosen for
those for inorH|ng wear, with dark skirts,
eapeciully with black nlpacca or tuffeta
silk. Threo broad pleats in front and
buck, the English or the Mediols collar,
and square cuffs will remain tho favorite
design. Plain white wuists of linen will
be worn with double skirts of percale,
linen or Iawu, and thus save the colored
waista of such suits from danger of be
ing faded by perspiration. More elabo
rate white blouses have puffs between
rows of insertion, and have pleated frills
on neok aud wrist.
WHITE WRAPPERS,
Barred nausook is again in favor for
white wrappers; it is fur more durable
than the stnpod nausook, wbieh is so apt
to split between stripes, and is cooler aud
lighter than pique. The favorite design
ia the Watteau baok with Spanish liouuce
and Uabrielle frout; the trimming is side
pleating of plain qansook, tucked, or
else edged with Hamburg embroidery.
The waist is not lined, but is worn over a
low-necked comet cover; and these
white wrappers only aro considered
iu good tuste worn in this way, for
the decree is that transparent colored
niualius must have high linou waists be
neath them to prevent discoloration by
perspiration and tho heat of the skin.
Very little starch must be used in these
muslins, as their soft limp drapery is part
of their beauty. Cunningly tiod bows of
violet, mauve, navy blue, or deep green
ribbon are down the front of tho gown,
on the elbows, aud the hanging pocket,
while gros grain ribbon is folded around
the waist, and tied in a square bow with
long narrow ends on tho left side.
Ladies who like white wrappers, yet
need some wurwth for eool mornings, get
the Tii'kish toweling, bleached, and of
Jersey manufacture, worth from 75 eents
to $1 a yard. This is made iu a simple
Gahrielle wrapper, edged with a thick
eord of while liuen, and fastened by large
pearl buttons. For iuvalids and chamber
use those wrappers are much liked.
Dark rich colors from crimson to plum-
oolor have boon chosen of late for ribbon
bows, bolts, and sashes to give character
to white costumes.
Most NeiiMlblc.
Modest young ladies may bo informed
that Europe is fur in advance of us iu
matters of toilet, aud that they may re
form in Home matters without doiuug
thiir graceful dresses. Long white trow-
so»s for ladios are very much worn ou the
Continent. These trowsers should be
quite plain for wearing in the daytime
aud iu the street; but those for oveuiug

—God makes no promise to those who
holji baok. But he gives strength to the
obedient, and light to those who deter
mine to trnst him.
—Sweep away the doctrine of immor
tality by a belief in annihilation, or de
stroy it by showing that there is no evi
dence of its truth, and yon might as well
expect agrionlture ana horticulture to
flourish ou earth after tho sky has been
overhang with sackcloth, as to hope that
life will go on with all its sweetness and
amenities. —Beecher.
—If the sublime be, as it were, a view
of the iufinite, it would seem that the
arts of design, which are compelled to
itnpri&on every idea in a fortu, cannot be
sublime. It may happen, nevertheless,
that the painter, moved by thoughts to
which he has given no form, strikes the
sonias a thunder-bolt would the ear. It
is then by virtue of thought perceived,
bnt not formulated, that the picture be
comes sublime.—Blanc.
—We are old or young as we have made
attainments iu knowledge. We are here
as pupils, to learn. Our education begins
at birth. Every intelleotunl endowment
is for use; every opportunity and appli
ance for our service and equipment. We
may have had few advantages or many;
the question does not biuge there, bat
what have we gained by our advantages,
more or less ?
—ltemarkable union ! the sight of our
eye resembles. perfectly the sight of onr
reason, and optics is iu nature what it is
iu philosophy. The difference in the
point of sight, changes the moral pros
pective of ideas ns well as the liner
perspective of things,aud according to the
point of distances at which our mind is
placed, it seines only details, the promi
nence of which deceives, or embraces the
whole whose gradeur enlightens it.—
lllanc.
—Love is often but a solitary leaf, but
neither storm nor blight cau fade it; like
the perfume that a dead flower sends
forth, it is sweet when all the gny sun
shine has departed; when all its bloom is
past, it has the fragrancy of memory, it is
the last lingering beam that glows after
sun and stars have set.
—To sacrifice home worship to public
worship is a most evil course of action.
Morning aud evening devotion in a cot
tage is infinitely more pleasing in tho
sight of God than all the cathedral pomp
wnich delights the carnal eye and ear.
One reason why the early church had
such a blessing was hooau.se her members
had snob homes.—Spurgeon.
—The heart that findu itself tending to
the earth, weighed down by toils and
cares, must every morning choose for
itself a w&tohword for the day, taking
pains to recall and apply it at every criti
cal moruont. It may be “hope, patieuce,
faith, love, trust, heaven,” or any short,
expressive phrase. This will lift the soul
out of the dust And help keep it in the
pure sunlight of God’slove.—Christian at
Work.
—We should be thankful for our
homes; comfortable homes! Our happi
ness there is not dependent on the bril
liancy of the wall-paper, or the beauty of
the chandeliers. There is no more hap
piness now-in the Urge house than there
was in the threo small apartments of
many days ago. Our homes are our
“castles of refuge” from the conflicts and
turmoils of our daily life iu the world.
Praise God, day aud night, for a comfort
able home.
—We shall oome down to* tha time when
we have but ten days left, theu nine days,
then eight days, then seven days, then six
days, five days, four days, three days, two
days, one day. Theu hours; three hours,
two hours, one hour. Thou only miuutes
left: five minntes, four minutes, three
minutes, two minutes, one miuute. Then
only seconds left: threo seconds, two
Recouds, one second ! Gone ! Tho chap
ter of life ended! The book closed !
The pulses at rest! The feet through
with the journey! The hands closed
from all work ! No word on the lip. No
breath in the nostril. Hair combed to lie
undisheveled by soy human hands. The
muscles still. Tho nerves still. The
lungs still. The tongue still. All still.
Yon might put tho stethoscope to the
breast, aud hear no sound. You might
put a speaking trumpet to the ear, but
yon could not break the deafness. No
motion. No throb. No life. Still! Still!

Respect fob the Bible.— It is a match
less evidence the Bible possesses that it is
preserved aud esteemed throughout the
entire Christian world above all other

stockings, und a neat, sandaled shoe ap
pearing under tho skirt of a muslin dress,
the ankles buried, »s it were, in several
rows of the lace frills or flounces of the
cambric or rnusliu trowsers? Surely,
also, when a young lady of eighteen or
nineteen is dsuoiug, it is more modest, as
it in cert .duly vuore becoming, to see the
limbs hidden in lace-friiled trowsers of
cambric than in the present fashion. As

our confidence. But this is not just
what we designed to write when we
begau this article. The point we
had in view, is the fact of the respect that
men pay the Bible, in their treatment of
it, as a book. Not that they faithfully
read it, or abide by its instruction ; but
they do not maltreat it, uuless intoxicated
