. crown is a band composed of folds in two ‘ tut-tut will; cousin ssnn. There is many a rest in the road of life, If we would only stop to take it ; And many a tone from the better land, If the querulous heart would make it! To the soul that is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ne’er fsileth, The grass is green and the flowers are brigh I, Though the Winter storm prevaileth. Better to hope, though the clouds hang low, And to keep the eyes still lifted; For the blue sky willsoon peep through. When the ominous clouds are rifled ! There never was a night without a day. Ortan evening without a morning; And the darkest hour as the proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning. There is many a gem in the path of life, Which we pass in our idle pleasure, That is richer far than the jewelled crown, Or the miser’s board of treasure; It may be the love of a little child, Or a mother’s prayer to heaven, 0r only a beggar‘s grateful thanks, ._ For a cup of water given. Better to weave in the web of life A bright and golden filling, And to do God’s will with a ready heart. And hands that are ready and w' ling; Than to snap the delicate, minute‘eads Of our curious lives assunder, And then blame heaven for the t‘nlahglt'd ends, a . And sit and grieve and wonder. Tm: AUTUMN Han—The new autumn hat is a soft ash-gray or brown felt, with a rather broad,flaring brim turned tip high on one side above a rather low crown, and embroidered in two shades of gray. or two shades of brown upon a slight leafy applica- tion of silk or velvet. Starling from the front is along ostrich plume laid flat over the crown and curling from the edge of the brim almost to the shoulder. Round the shades of silk, or silk and velvet, and the brim at the side is mounted with silk or silk and velvet loops, and a pearl, steel or colored glass ornament on the front of the brim. Covering the stem of the plume is the finishing touch which gives the name to the chapeau; it is a rose or a bunch of pinks in the deep “cardniual” scarlet,—a new color beside which ordinary scarlet grows pale, and this vivid flash is repeated at the back in a ribbon bow placed under the brim. These hats are considered cheap at twenty dollars cach,—the plume alone being worth ten. > WASHINGTON, November 2.—Enough is now known of the character of the annual estimates to show that they will be fully 810,000,000 less than for last year. The cost of the navy remains about the same, while the army, in some of its supplies, was cut below its real necessities at the last ses- sion. The treasury estimates have been framed exactly upon What the house gave in its last appropriation. The cost of the Indian service will not be diminished. The deficiency in the post office department will be increased owing to the rapid extension and added facilities. As a total result,how- ever, the reductions are, as stated,something over$l0,000,000. There is a large establ shutent at Kehl, 0p- posite Sirasbur’g, on the Rhine, where artifi- chl wine is mace into which a grape never enters.

The Rhenish and satian wine- growers intend to urge the man Reich- stag to pass a stringent law against the adulteration and-falsification of wines.

It will forget ifyou do not jog it frequently. ...______r Seven-eights of all the brass and German silvm made and consumed in the United States, together with one~halfof the manu- factured copper, is made in the little Nouga- tuck valley, which IS not. more than thirty ‘ miles long.
