Early Spring llIodes.
There are several decided changes ill the
expression ofthe early spring fashions. How.-
ever,these new toilet characters are not par-
ticularly ‘f loud” in effect. On the contrary,
there is ll. noticeable grace and artistic finish
in the incoming modes. A charming silli-
plicity, combined with subdued elegance, is
one of the leading features of these fresh
personal adornments.
The “glare and glitter” season is over, and
all marked efforts to make a show of finery
will be repudiated by the beau monde. This
happy change will certainly find favor with
refined and cultivated society ladies. It is
far from being agreeable to the well-bred to
find themselves subjects of remark in public.
And this state of notoriety is sure to be
brought into existence when promenade toi-
lets are one “ blaze of splendor.”
Among the most charming studies in spring
dress will be found the care and artistic taste
exercised in the effect of the toilet outlines.
Concealing the figure by excess of trimming
and innumerable looping has become obso-
lete. But recently has been introduced the
modes portraying “Hogarth’s line ofbeauty.”
We perceive that this style is very much aId-
mired, and will doubtless remain a favorite
fashion for many seasons.
In regard to the new dyes, there are a
number which are considered the results of
scientific labor. These colors, just introduc-
ed into the world of fashion, are principal-
ly for evening display. They are remarka-
bly pale, and yet :hc dye is distinctly no-
ticeable when seen under very strong gas-
fight
The day shades -"e chiefly somber. The
neutral browns a : grays have not lost fa-
vor. In fact, all tirk colors will be a. la
mode for spring a ..1 summer wear. Gray,
drab, au' “ invisible blue" shades will take
the lead in the world of dyes.
Cashmere and silk suits, combined, will
be quite popular.- They are certainly neat
and handsome in effect, and have already
. O
The following very forcible and withall,
very sensible sentimentsfrom thebatchelor
editor of the New York Tribune.
. Precious Girls.
Some time ago a lad from one of the pub-
fourteen to the city, and, as was stated,
married her, the precious young woman
destroying the certificate on her way home.
In order to place his daughter as nearly
right as possible before the public her
father insisted last week on another mar-
riage, of which he should be a witness. In
another column of the same paper 'whieh
told this story we find an account of the
daughter of a clergyman and of a respecta-
ble merchant in Philadelphia eloping for
several days to seek their fortunes, offering
themselves to managers of theatres, &c.,
&C-.; and yet another of a c;rtaiu honest
and anxious father, John Sweeney by
name, who, finding that his mother-less
daughter 0&12 had visited a police court out
01 curiosity, procured a rattan, and did so
belabor her that he was bound over to keep
the peace. We are not at all sure tllatJohu
was not right in theory, however he may
have transgressed in practice. We should
all be glad, tic-doubt, to see our daughters
restored to the condition of innocence and
modesty which was once supposed to be-
lopg to little girls yet ill the. nursery. But
how is it to be brought about? There is
no putting emancipated and cursed Eve
back into paradise, and the apples which
she ate are uow-a-days’thrust into our babies
months before their teeth are grown. In
fashionable and would-be fashionable circles
the poor little infants are dragged to balls
as soon as they are weaned, and converted
into hot-preswd little men and women.
The books furnislltd to them, the matinee
entertainments provided for them, are all
calculated to rouse adult passions and
thoughts into abnormal monstrous growth.
There is no such thing as a nursery in the
majority of American city homes. The
children are left to the care ofignoraut
hired bonues or Irish girls; they swarm ill
the halls of boarding-houses or haunt the
servants’ rooms, trying to stretch their lit-
tle brains to grasp the ideas and subjects
which reach them there. When they have
passed out of babyhood they are dismissed
to schools, where they learn good or evil,
as paid teachers or their companions choose.
Let any one observe the groups offlaunting
half-grown girls on their way to school in
the cars, or the over-dressed coquettish
misses sent out to parade the streets and
display their clothes on a fine afternoon,
and listen to their conversation, and he
will not wonder at their escapades into
marriage or a worse fate.
It is not book-publishers who are to
blame; it is not playrights; it is not French
bonnes or Irish nurses. They furnish what
the public demand of them. The one thing
needed to give us a generation of modest,
chaste gentlewomen in our daughters, is
———mothers. Mothers who know their busr-
ness, and who do it,’; mothers who have the
sense to see that there is a time in a young
woman’s life, as in a man’s, when animal
spirit, or excess of vitality, needs outlet—
mothers who can guide their daughters
through this straight in all innocence and
purity, instead of subjectiugithem from their
yery birth to treatment which forces every
impure element of their nature into un-
healthy and obnoxious action. ‘
If the mothers are not competent to do
the work given them, what 1110 the fathers

The last named gentleman is
the antiquities discovered, which are depos-
ited at the oflice of the commission,
situated at the Capitol. There may be seen
a collection, comprising specimens of nearly
everything, either for show or use in the
private life of the ancient Romans. Take
for eXamplc the coins. They have been dis-
covered in startling quantities. On the Es-
quiline so many have been found that they
fill 'chests. Only during the past week the
workmen came upon a mass of three thou-
sand lying loose in the ground.
These coins are principally bronze, but
there is also a large amount of gold and sil-
vor money. One thing has a peculiar inter-
est attached to it. It is a small- round
bronze box, which was used to keep medals
in.' Although the medals were gone, it was
at once ascertained by the archaeologist, that
the box had contained them, angsthat they
had been stolen, for on the bottom of the
box may be seen the iinpresssion left in the
thick coating of verdigris. There are num-
bers of ink-stands and bronze pens, enough
to have supplied the notaries of the modern
city. A collection of small Etruscan vases
in colored terla-cotta has been the means of
proving the existence and site of an ancrent
Etruscan cemetery on the Esquiline. . From
the tomb of a priest has been extracted the

It would take up too much space to enu-

terest to be seen here. They comprise a
wide range of materials, such as agate, crys-
tal,amethyst, glass, paste, alabaster, ivory,
fresco, stucco, gold and mosaic. They clear-
ly demonstrate, however, the vast quantitiy
of valuable curiosities t
exhumed at” the present time in Rome.
There are bushels of terra-cotta lamps, some.

been. The pots and pans. in bronze are a
magazine in themselves, but there is a far
smaller show of iron implements, probably
owing to the more perishable nature of the
metal. These things lie deposited in the
storerooms of the commmission, waiting till
leans be found for their proper arrange- .
ment. Perhaps the most important item in
the long list'ot‘ objects lately dug up is the
the collection of eighty-two statues. A few
of the most perfect are placed in the Capi-
toline Museum of Sculpture. The majority
of the others lie on their backs in a vault
adjoining the Tabularium of the Capitol,
awaiting their turn for restoration and set-
ting up in the gallery.

The Rev. Alexrs Caswell, D, D., LL. D.,
tax-President of Brown University, and one
of the most prominent men in the Baptist
denomination,joins his voice with others
against the action of the Long Island Bap-
tist Association in expelling the Lee Avenue
Church for open communion practices. In
a long letter to the Watchman and Reflector,
Dr._Caswcll says: “If a disciple of another
church crimes to our communion with a
sincere desire to celebrate with us the
Saviour’s dying love, I would ilot turn him
away, I would not withhold from llilll the
consecrated elements; I could not. ill my
conscience say [0 him, ‘Christian brother,
we love you dearly in the Lord, but we
have no room foryou here. We want none
here but such as go with us.’ Let the
brother stay, let him eat and drink. discern-
ing the Lord’s body; and let the blessingof
our common Lord be upon him and upon
us. Secondly, it'a member of a Baptist
church should be away from his home, and
should find himself on a communion Sab-
bath worshiping with an evangelical
church of another name, and should fuel it a
spiritual privilege to partake of the Lord‘s
Supper, let him do so. According to my
notion of the thing, that is aprivilege which
he- has in Christ Jesus, and 1 would not
consent that any man or church should
deprive him ot‘it. Thirdly, I would not re-
uire assent to close communion as a corr-
(tlition of membership.” ,

It is reported on apparently good author-

Bin-Walker who is now a “Conservative”
memberof the House of Representatives
from the Third District of Virginia, was
formerly Governor of that State, He is an
active, shrewd, popular, and ambitious pol.
iticia'n, and the idea of the assumption of
the State debts by the National Govern-
ment is one which he has long entertained,
and has advocated with ingenious argu-
ments. Mast of these will be found in his

out of hand. Perhaps it may be a bonnet
for his wife, and in that case it probably
takes his eye as it hangs, resplendent in rib-
bons and flowers, in the milliner’s show
window. He does not stop to enquire what
his wife has that will go with that special
color or fabric; and though the price may
occasion him a momentary surprise, if he
like the article, he'will order it to be sent
ome, and think no more about it. A wo-
man, on the other hand, makes the purchase
of a bonnet or a dress the matter of very
serious thought. She knows the mysteries
of turning, dyeing, contriving, and repair-
ng, which are utterly unknown to her hus-
band. And sometimes his kindest giftsgive
her a momentary thrill of indignnat feeling
which she cannot help, because she com-
ares what they have cost, all in an instant,
with the system of frugality which she has
been practising, entirely unsuspected, for
weeks and months. Thus, I once happened
to be present when a friend of mine, who
had not been able to buy a dress in two
years, but who by reason of feminine inge.
nuity, was always able to appear in a lady-
like and becoming manner, was presented
by her husband with a set of chess-men, for
a present, value, forty dollars. It was her
birth-day,and he desired to do her honor
and give her pleasure,but he had quite over-
looked the fact that she had never learned
to play chess. The admirable self-control
with which she received the gift and thank-
ed him for it, seeing that the love that
prompted it, though blundering, was genus
inc, was to me a new revelation of woman’s
ways. Tact is pure womanly intuition,
and seldom needs the cultivation in your
daughter that it does in your son. Yet wo—
men, with all their tact, fail of managing
servants well, and, with all their love aird
self-abnegation, not usually control their
children easily. The servants tyrannise
over them, deceive them, or leave them‘;
and the children, dearly as they love them,
are frequently prompter in their obedience
to father than to mother. The steady, firm,
gentle, consistent sway that makes a ruler
and conciliates the ruled, is not innate in
womanhood. It is woman’s way to be ex-
tremely sensitive to praise or blame. A harsh
word to a. loving woman, if it comes from
one she loves or regards, is as frost to a
flower. A kind word is like sunshine to an
opening bud. Independent of these exteri-
or infiueuces no one of us can ever be, with-
out doing violence to her nature and with-
out having lost something of ithingraincd
fineness and purity—Christian Unity.

ansu Am IN TYPIIOYD Fawn—Dr.
Hampton of Paris, has lately issued a pam-
plet containingui. history of several remark-
able cures of typhoid fever. The doctor re-
gards this disease as a sort of paralysis or
asphyxia of all the.vital functions, occasion-
ed b _,breatl;ing a poisonous .atmosphpre,
eff .Imating either from a typhoid patient or
from some olhur morbid source. By his ex-
periments he has practically demonstrated
that great advantage is to be derived from
the use of open air in treating the fever.
Moreover, he declares that there is absolute
immunity from contagion in the open air.
The cures which he reports are ascribed
mainly to the free admission of out-door air
to the patient’s bed room. He argues that
the patient cannot suffer from the applica-
tion of this remedy. either in danger from
other diseases, or from the temperature of
the atmosphere. If the patient is kept
warm in bed by artificial means, the free
breathing ofpure air, fresh air will at all
times keep up the natural animal heat, In
typhus fever, complications of all kiuds,o_f
the lungs or other organs, simply render
the access of fresh air more urgent and
essential. It alsoenables "the patient to
take stimulants more easily when necessary.

Lovn on ADVENTURE—Boys born and
brought up in seaport towns and cities have
more to encourage the spirit of adventure
than‘ the residents of the inland towns.
As soon as they can walk, the wharvcs have
a great attraction for them. They are charm-
ed at the sight of the arrivals and departures
of vessels, and as soon as thevI can climb,
you see them going up the rigging, and
placing their caps upon the trucks. They
get on board of small boats before they can
handle an car, and frequently make excur-
sions upon the river before they have had
any experience in the management of a
heat. A large part acquire a strong attach-
ment for the shipping, and are conversant
with all the names of the vessels, and can
tell when they are to sail, where they are
bound, whenvthey arrive, what passage they
have had, and are as familiar with the de-
tails of shipping news as the owners them-
selves. They are also quick to make out
any vessel belonging to the port which may
be in the offing, by some particular marks
of the sails, spars, or general appearance.
They mingle with sailors and hear the re-
cital of adventures, and are charmed by the
reading the tales of the ocean, and at an
early day they strike out, either with or
without the consent of their parents, to in-
crease their knowledge of the world by ac-
tual observation. Many become ship mas-
ters and acquire wealth. Others, With less
ambition,are content to remain before the
mast, while the great majority, after a voy-
age or two return home, or more frequently
settle in a distant region, and there make
their mark. We doubt if there is another
place of like population that has so many of
its sons scattered like our own. We find
them in every State of the Union and al-
most every forelgn country. In every port
of the world of any commerial importance
you are almost sure to find a former resi-
dent of Newburyport. ~ This fondness for
travel necessarily keeps the family circle
broken. We know a family of seven chil-
dren that have not met for more than a
quarter of century, one of whom was in
Tasmania, two in California, one in Georgia,
and another in Boston. There are man
such families that will never be united ti 1

A CHILD KILLED 13v 1. Dom—A little girl
named Clark, aged four years, was visiting,
with her parents at the house ofaMr.
J oselyn, at Homer, New York. A daughter
of the latter invited her little visitor to g'o
out to the coop and see herchiekens.
They went together, and as they were
passing through the woodhouse, were
joined by a large dog belonging to Mr.
Joselyn. Arriving at the henbouse, the
daughter of Mr; Joselyn opened the door
and passed in. The little Clark girl, at-
tempting to follow, was set upon by the dog,
which so frightened thfloselyn girl that.
she closedthe door- of the henhouse. The
creams of the girl at length reached the
ars of the'inmates of the house, who came
unning to her assistance. When they
cached the spot the dog had his teeth

stened in the child’s arm,and was shaking
her furiously. She was rescued, but was
horribly mangled. One car was bitten off,
the right cheek bitten out, and a portion of
the scalp torn off. Besides these wounds,
both arms were terribly mutilated. Every-
thing was done to relieve the excruciating
sufferings of the unfortunate child during
the night, and in the morning death merciv
fully put an end to them.

REVIVAL or Bounces—The business
prophets all agree that with the warm
weather of spring will come the long-looked-
for revival of business. It would take too
much space to enumerate the many indica-
tions which lead to this universal belief
that “bottom" has been touched at last, and
that all kinds of Qlusiness and trade will
now recover. The New York Evening
Post remarks on this subject:
It cannot. be denied that there are signs
of a revival of trodefand such -n revival im-
plies a stimulus to all social interests. If
the industries of the country are once lifted
to their feet the rest may be trusted to take
care of itself. Brisk business means pros-
perity everywhere—em the pleasures as'well
as the more serious pursuits of life; and if
the prophe are right when, three months
hence, aft profitable spring, the summer
season has set in, citizens will.turn their
faces towards the mountains and the sea-
shore with fuller purses, lighter hearts, and
more of the vacation temper than they have
known since the “hard times" began.

A QUEER Cum—At a meeting of spirit-

the members of “the circle” received a
message from a friend in the unseen world
to the effect that he would certainly die
upon a Certain day and hour, mentioning
the time with a positiveness that to the
circle and the gentleman referred to left no
room for doubt. The message also convey-
ed an admonition ‘to the effect that he
should in anticipation of the event imme-
diately procure a life insurance policy. for
$10,000J‘0r the benefit of his family. In
obedience to the suggestion the policy was
secured,and upon theappointed day and
hour the man died. The wife, upon apply-
ing to the company for the amount named
in the policy, was informed that the policy
was voided by reason of her husband hav-
ing committed “moral suicide”—that is,
died because he thought he must do so in
accordance with the supposed message.

I 'A CHILD’S EVENING PRAY...
Jesus, Saviour, bow thine ear,
Listen to my evening prayer,
Be thou present, he thou near,
Make thy little one thy care.
All the sins I‘ve done this day—
And to sin I know I’m prone—
Wash them in my blood away,
Make me, keep me, all thine own.
I thy little lamb would be,
1n thine own blest leotsteps tread;
Oh, my Savrour, look on me— ' .
Me for whom thy blood was shed.
Do thou bless my parents dear,
3 My brothers. sisters, all I love.
Every blessing that can cheer,
Pour upon them from above.
Sleep will shortly close my eyes,
Do-tbou watch around my bed;
In thelnorniug when I rise,
By thy hand may I be led.
Led by thee thus every day, . -
Whatever comes, ’twill all be well,
And Iwhen thou call’st my soul away,
With happv angels let me dwell.’

HOW IT HAPPENED.
BY JOHN HAY. ’
.v
I pray you, pardon me Elsie,
And smile that frown away
That dims the light of your lovely face
As thunder clouds the day,
For your lips were so strangely tempting,
Before I thought, ’twas done—_
And those great gray eyes flashed bright
and cold, ’ A
Like an icicle in the sun.
I was thinking of the summer,
When we were boys and girls,
Andeandered in the blossoming weeds
'And tlhe gray winds romped with 'you
our 3
And yoluI 'seemcd to me the same litil
lr .
IIkissed in the elder path.
I kissed the little girl’s lids, and alas!
I have roused a woman’s wrath.
There is not so much to pardon,
For why were your lips so red ? .
"I‘he blondc hair fell a shower of gold ‘
From the proud, provoking head,
And the beauty that flushed from the
splendid eyes ' , "
Arid played around the tender mouth, ’
Rushed 3781' my soul like a warm, sweet
wm ' ‘ .
That blows from the fragrant South.
.1
And where, after all, is the harm done?
I believe we were made to be guy,-
And all of youth not given to love
13 vainly squandered away.
And stretjvn throughout life’s labors,
I Like gold in the desert sands, .
Are love’s swift kisses, and sighs, am!
vows,
And the clasp of clinging hands.
And when you are old and lonely,
In memories magic shrine
You ,will see on your thin and wasting
hands ~
Like gems, those kisses 0f mine.
And when you muse at evening.
At the sound of some vanished name,
Thelghost of my kisses shall touch your
lps,
And kindle your heart’to flame.
Hellotropo.
O, delicicus heliotrope!
Blooming on some slumbrous slope,
In the days superbest'splendoi,
In the trance of twilight tender,
Glad my senses I surrender
To the subtle spell that binds me,
Whilejhy purple bloourenwinds me;
Perfumed e’er with Passiou’s sorrow,
Thus in gloom I darkly gro’pe,
Purple-clustered heliotrope!
Now the ail-swims in my sight,
Flooding visions of delight; '
Spirit-hands with endless chain
Bind my soul with gyves of pain,
And drench my heart with wintry Iain;
Entrancing music fills my 'ears,
Sounds of laughter, fall of tears,
Flowing with delicious pain
Through my worn and weary brain,
Shrouding all my. soulwith gloom, ‘
Banishing each dream of hope,
Buried deep in clustered bloom,
0 sweet, purple heliotropel ,
Now the night-wind, freshly blowing,
Sets my languid blood a-flowing,
And my soul seems to revive—
I shall fly thy spells alive,
I shall stem thy dreadful tide!
Purple flowers, I wildly love thee!
Perfumed flowers, I love thee not !
E’er thy subtle fragrance binds me—
.. I love thee—and I love thee not i
I crush tlly buds—then bid them ope,
Delicious, subtle, heliotrope ! '.

RELIGIOUS Rumm.—There is a pro-
found movement amongst the masses of the
people in Great Britain just now. under the
preaching of Moody and Sankey, which is
full of admonition to the organized churches,
inasmuch as it demonstrates the soul-hun-
ger of the people for spiritual food, which
the high-priced religion of the day does not
supply. The costly churches, high-sslaried
preachers, grand organs,- nnd hired music,
in which so many sects take a pride that is
very remote from the humility of the great
example they proffis to follow, does not
reach down among e people '; but when
men like Moody and Sankey, who have
broken through the hard crust of sectarisu
pride and exclusivenes‘s, go amongst the
people as the Apostles did, instead of wait-
ing for the people to come to them with a.
pocket full of money to pay expenses and
ignoring the points of sectarian controversy,
preach a humane and loving gospel to them,
theyar-e so eager to hear it that they crowd
it by twenty thousand at a. tinie,’snd block
up the avenues leading to the place of wor-
ship. The term reowal is applied to this
demonstration, and properly so, for it is a
bringing back to life of that which bumsn
pride and greed, and love of case, has
allowed to die. _
There is also a revival developing in
some sections of the United States, Califor-
nia having lately been the cement 3 very
remarkable one, and Louisville, Kentucky,
is now in the midst oft religious excite-
ment unprecedented in its history, of Which
the Courier-Journal speaks in the following
language: »
Yesterday was an occasion, of the deepest
interest to the religious peOple of Louisville,
and, indeed, the absorbing interest manifest-
ed by church memb‘ersin _the till-day relig‘
ions services proved contagious, and many
to whom religion has been but a light jest,
yielded to the mysterious influences, and
placed themselves within the atmosphere of
prayer. Whatever people may think or
say of the efl‘icacy of prayer with the
Almighty, there has been evidence. enough
in Louisville during the past few ‘ weeks. to
prove thus it is almighty power to change
the views and lives 0 men. - '
And, fer a sedhlar paper,.t
strong language :
Louisvrlle has never been so thoroughly
be following is
interested in' religion, probabl , as; in these
weeks of evangelist labors. ’ he churches, .
ever inclined to sustain their individuality;
and chary of their own denominations]
views, have rarely fused on any subject.
But for three weeks the difl’erent congregu-I
lions seem to have forgotten their distinclé
ive crecds, and have mingled like the primi-
tive Christians, _in common services, the
key-note of which was the Bible andprayer.
Such an harmonious state'of‘afl'airs certain-
ly should be perpetuated, mdidoubtlcss it
will, even‘though the earnest evangelists
will go to other fields. » ,

An ordinance prohibiting _the, ringing of
church bells has been introduced in'ths
New York board of aldermeu, and ' there ' is
a possibility that it will pass. Its'xpassage
will of ' are be resisted bitterly, but
whethert _ proposition be received favora-
bly or Mafia» present, the time is nijtfar dis-
tant wh‘efi‘tire practice‘of ringin‘g‘tells and
reading notices from the pulpit will be
abandoned, particularly in cities-and large
towns. Both customs had their,- origin in
an age when few persons 'llnI'dfwil'tc 'es ,ov
clocks, and when there were no papers
through the colum of which the public ‘
could make their 01*, known; Now that
the need for these nit time means of om-
munication has passed away, the ti for
Ltheir use has also gone by.
