J&QT" Charges Reasonable. The Wev Wight Gown. For the special enlightenment of thoso of our young men who contem plate marriage we make tho state ment I lint a decided change has taken plaee in the manufacture of wedding night gowns. They arc no longer made out of bleached homespun as they were in the early days of the re public?long before the female form was bolstered about nnd disfigured with bustles and false calves and pub I itutors, wlieii the dear creatures were estimated at their true value and no. according to the amount of "fix id's'' they wore. The new night gown, however, is an improvement on any thing in that line that our grandmas wi re accustomed to. Wc quote': "The material is the sheerest linen lawn, cut in the princcssc form and bordered with a straightway flounce, edged on both sides with German lace. The*sleeves are coat-shaped, and on the upper sides are made open by diagonal insertions of lace and wrought muslin. Upon the body, from the shoulder to the waist-line, is a similar arrangement of insertions nnd lace, simulating lapels. About, the neck is a standing collarette, formed of a lull ruflle Of J ace, a broad insertion and a lace edge. In such diaphanous nil ire one might well he till cii for Venus veiled by the morn ing mist." Our "devil" bail a dream the other night, lie dreamt that the end of all kings had com e and that he was Ma tinned on an eminence from which he could survey tho closing scenes in the last session of the great supreme court. His gn/.c became riveted upon a group of politicians as tiny walked up to receive sentence and among the number be singled out one man whose bald bead contrasted strangely with (he kinky, unkempt heads about him. lie listened intently and upon the solemn air came lo his cars the fear ful announcement: li'csscd are they that do his com tn?n.intents, that they may have right lo the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and inurdji ers, and idolaters, ami whosoever luveth and ma/;t Kh a lie.'' It was Daniel II. Chamberlain? the picture was perfect. "And in be.! !??? lifted up bis yes heilig in tor ment." A Tuorri xu Tkam ok Oxt:x.? Dexter the tamer ? f bovines created a great sensation on the si roots yes tor day by appearing in a carriage drawn by four milk white oxen, all in har ness and driven tandem. The gay and festive looking beasts pranc d along in fine, style?"heads up and tails a risin,'; us our John would say, Governor Tlmyor was invited to lake it ride, and was driven about for some lime by Dexter. Other gentlemen also enjoyed the novelty. Dexter says that either of his oxen can trot a mile in .'5:47. He offers to bet any amount of money that ho can load a wagon with 4,500 pounds of freight, ullach his four oxen, and make heller lime to Dead wood than any four-horse or mule team with the load can possibly do. - ? ?[??mi . ? . in i in> - Little Willie was very cross and tired the other night, and he wanted his father to take him on his knee; but his lather was tired, or pretended to be. "1 want you lo hold nie on your knee," ho whined. "I tell you I cannot do it, I am tired, replied bis father, impatiently. "Tired! You wasn't very tired last nigh I when you held Miss Alary by the hand in the kitchen." To make the most of the good nnd the least of the evil of life is the best philosophy of lifo. -?m i ?
