Y. Telegram. ~ — GaWo^iana are inclined to think that oaioamen should be taught to practice cremation, to aare the expense of sending home tha dead bodios of their country. men. —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: Oloa«* up tho doors mid draw tho dampen close, “ *- ** filiation. —Boston Globe. o Hindi' beneath, » Nhrouds unknown ; on Ida him bio death, Aud let us all from ids c 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 NO MUCH DEATH.

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.

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 books. Its antiquity and the placo it holds ia the varied departments of life approve it as a writing to the atten tion and consideration of thoughtful and intelligent people. It is the test-book for oaths in courts, the text-book of morals wear should be made of fino cambric or j amj religion ; its teachings and troths aro muslin, ornamented with embroidery, large insertion, or heavy rich lace frills or flounces, according to tho taste aud iuo".ti8 of tho lady herself. What could look prettier or more modest than to soo a pretty, small-trowsered foot iu silk 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 I said, this mode is very much seen on the Continent, among French, Spaniards, and especially llu. >uius. When at Barce- ion Y lady the solace and comfort of tho distressed and (he dying; its principle of virtue and excellence are so high that uo appeal can be made from them; it is the inspiration and law of the greatest und best organi zation on earth, the church, and on tho hope and promises it Bets forth, thou sands of men and women rost all their desires and anticipations of an everlast ing future. Suoh a book is worthy of 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 or insrmo. It is a matter of pride, and in ngo, I remarked that name degree of conscience, with them to irowsers—-some plain, | possess it. At all e>«nts, there is no man sumo richly trimmed with lace frills or I or family so poor but a sense of shame is flounces. Two or four inohes of tho J manifested if on event occurs that calls trowsers were visible, sottiug off the j for the use of a Bible and they have not smAli 8panUh foot to perfection. 1 knew a pretty Freuoh lady who used to wear most becoming trowsers iu the eveniug, which were made of very flue cambric or muslin, with rich luce frills up to the ealf of her leg, aud insertion be tween each frill. The frills touohed her got one to offer; for instance, at the bap: tism of • child or at a funeral. It is also a subject of remark, that in railroad de- pota, on ateamboats r ferry boats, and in hotels, in nearly every room, we find the Bible or Biblea. No matter bow they came there ; supposing they were put iu instep, but the rest of her trowsera was | those plaoes by the Amerioan Bible 8oci- visible under aud through tho transparent j ety, or by the generons gifts of benevo- skirt of while muslin. ; leut Christian people, it does not change — -»»♦»»■ — j the f sot that they are there, holdings —Sojourner Truth, who is still halo place and winning a respect that is giveu aud hearty, partook of the communion iu j to no other book.
