5 Zivif ht'trartf Men. The storks of lettered and unlettered wives, the partners of genius, would fill ' large volume. Disraeli, in his "Literary Character," has an interesting chapter on the subject. He ascribes some of the conspicuous blemishes of several great composit:ons to the domestic infel cities of their authors. Thus tbe desultory life, of Camoens is
perceptible in tbe deficient connection of h s epic, cnti Milton's blindness and divided family prevented that castigating critic sm which otherwise had erased passage which escaped his revising hand. Dryden himself pleads for the inequalities of his work from his domestic circumstances. The wife of Whitelocke more than once destroyed his manuscript, and the marks of
her nails have come down to posterity
in the nnmerovs lacerations still gaping in bis memorials. Moliere, notwithstanding all his skillful analyses of human life, married a girl from his own troupe, who made him experience all
those bitter disgusts and ridiculous embarrassments which he himself played
off at the theater. On the other hand,
there are main pleasant instances of
liannv literary marriages. Wieland's
wife was a comfortable and affectionate
woman; she knew her husband was s great poet without reading his books,
Bnffon.the arreat naturalist, wrote of
his wife : "Often, when I cannot please . myself and am impatient at the ditsappoin'ment, Mine, de Buffan reanimates my exertion or withdraws me to repose, and I return to my pen refreshed and aided by her tdviee." Gessner declared that, whatever his talents might, be, the person who had most contributed to develop them was his wife. The late Lord Beacon? field owed much of his success fo tie affectionate devotion of his wife. The modest but sufficient
fortune which shepossessed on his marriage enabled him to commence his Parliamentary career much earlier
than wontd otherwise have been pos
sible, and frcm first to last she was in
every respect the partner of his joys and so rows; and my lady readers will
be interested in the fact that Lord Beactnsfield's father, than who no one knew m re about literary life, declared yeais before that few great men have
flourished who, were tbey candid
world not a knowledge to themselves advantage: they have experienced in
'the earlier years of their career from
thesoirit and sympathy of women.
Onr friend, the Professor at the break
fast table, illustrates the difference be
tween character and genius in men and
women in his own inimitable fashion
"You talk of the fire of genius," he
says; "many a bietsed woman, who dies nr.suog end nnremembered, has riven it more of the real vital beat that
keeps life in human souls without a
spark fJittilg through her Jiumoie chimney to tell tue world about it thn wonld tet a dozen theories smoking or S hundred odes simmering in tbe brains of so many men of genius." M. de Toequeville pays a delightful compliment to Lis wife in one of bis letters: I could not," he says, "go on with my tok if it were not for the refesbing calm of Marie's companionship. It
wouid be impossible to find a happier
of the
higher education and the higher usefulness of women that they are, expected, like the sforesakl tradesmen, to
clothe the body and feed the mind at the same time. When the eager young
girl, in England listened reverently to
what Mrs. Somerville was sayiug
through the ear-trumpet of Harriet
Martinean, and found that it related to
the dyeing of an old shawl, she was dismayed, but unjustly. One may
dwell among the Btars or in the heignts
political economy, and stui need
shawls indeed, the very thickest
shawls, for observatories are very chil
ly places, and is not political economy
proverbially a cold ana even aismai science? On the lower levels of the earth there must still be clothing; and
since men have utterly renounced their
share of the task of making their gar
ments beautiful, it will never do for
women also to abandon their portion
of this work. It was not always left
exclusively to them. In visiting any
collection of midiroval armor we see that the patterns of mail oata were as
studiously considered and as minutely
varied as those of Worth's dresses at
the Present day. Her Majesty, Queen
Elizabeth, had, it is said, four thousand gowns; but the chances are that Sir
Walter Kaleigh had a wardrobe corres
pondingly extensive, and that the cele
brated cloak which he laid down lor
the Virgin Queen to walk upon may in
reality have been a little out ot fasnion, and a willing sacrifice. Even in the days of New England Puritanism it was as needful to fine Jonas Fair
banks for silver lace and high rolling
boots a Alice Flynt for a silk hood.
In Copley's portraits we see as lavish a
skill brought to bear upon tbe velvet
and satins of men as of women ; and i
encountered the other day a descrip
tion of the courting costume not court
costume of a youngster in Portland, Maine, as late as 1763, from which it appears that, in addition to his laces and his satin small-clothes, he actually wore two watches, one on each side. Thus recently have men abandoned the realm of personal adornment. This being the ease, and woman being the last stronghold of the beautiful in costume, why do not men acquisce in it, readily yield all the money and time needed for it, and only rebel when ihe hours and the dollars end in something that is intrinsically hideous after all? Nothing seems more unreasonable than the dignified superiority of the husband or the brother who first preaches the unimportance of dress, perhaps consistsntly fortifying his
words by his own example, and then turns to criticise his wife or daughter for being less well dressed than some fair neighbor who gives her whole mind to that absorbing department Does he really suppose that a woman can be dten wise by giving to it that three-
quarters of an hour in the spring and
three-quarters of an hour in tne au
tumn which are all. as James Parton
boasts, that a man now needs to devote j to his tailor? Xet the wife neglect j
what has been called the "gospel of
good gowns" as completely as the husband disregards that of good hats, for instance,and let him see how he likes it
But whether he adopts this policy of
indifference or not, let him at least be consistent If we hold it the duty of
intellectual women to ue well-dressed women also, let us give them full credit for doing the double duty. If, on
the other hand, we make no such demand on them, let us omit all the jeers at the "faded water-proof of the literary woman and the dyed and turned dress, and even the short hair cutoff, let us charitably suppose, to save time for study or for work. In the same way, if the husband expects his wife to be well dressed, let him not sneer at the time mercilessly spent in shopping, or
even groan at the bills when the results ofahomrinir come in. Let him not
complain, as I heard a young husband the other day, that two women, when : they met, always talked about dress,
when perhaps the veiy point under
discussion was the question how to
dress as the;r husbands wished without
its costing those husbands too much money.

Among the prettiest of the costumes for girls, says Codeij for July, are the little dresses fastened on one side in a slightly diagonal line from the shoulder to the waist. There are various ways of arranging this diagonal front; in one pretty model the front is cream etamine, slightly puffed and fastened over on the left side, the right side being bordered with a brown velvet revers and cream-woolen lace, the ends coming below the waist under a bow of moire ribbon. The full front is loose, and the plain bod:ce underneath is fastened down the center. The skirt is edged with a deep flounce of cream
woolen lace, with a puffed drapery at
the back.
Another very pretty style is adopted
for cotton dresses; the plastron is flat
and buttoned down the left side with large mother-of-pearl buttons. On the right side a drapery of the dress material is gathered on to the shoulder, drawn in at the waist and then forms a little scarf drapery or panier on the left side, ending under the puff at the back. Many washing and other dresses are also finished off with plaited plastrons, wide at the top and ending in a sharp point below the waist, and edged with embroidery or lace. Dressy costumes for girls of 10 years are made with short open jackets, showing very wide and fnll plastrons of surah, but simpler styles are in vogue for
thA Rsmbric aad zeuhvr dresses that
are most in demand at this season. For these, slightly puffed or plaited
plastrons laid on the plain, long bodice
are preferred; both sides ottiiepias
tron, or one side only, may be orna
mented with a revers of plain material, nf cambric for instance, in a different
color from the dress, edged vith a little embroidery. A very simple scarf drapery heads the plaited skirt and hides where it is fastened to the bodice.
The Ziaiest AyoHics in Sans. Japanese and Indian fans are the rage this season. The newest Japanese fan shown is called the "Ning-po,"
and is made the exact shape a palm
leaf grows, with the stick coming down
one side, so that it will be more for ornament th n use. The leaf is left plain or ornamented with hand painting, a great bow of satin ribbon being fastened to the handle. This shape, which is destined to be very popular, -is made up in the most exquisite of gauzes and laces, hand-painted with delicate flowers, the stick gilded or made of carved ivory. Some curious little folding fans,
made of paper, have four sticks, each
one highly carved, with two lines of Japanese poetry. Large folding fans
of silk are fringed with gold tinsel or feather trimming, and on many of them are heavy embroideries instead of painting. Umbrella fans, imported from China, are among the novelties iihnwn. A vnrv pretty one made of
pale blue and pink feathers closes up
like an umbrella. Wlien opened tue stick of covered sandal-wood is pressed to one side and makes a perfect round fan. The inside is lined with pure
white feathers.
Indian fans are coming more into
favor every season. They make very curious fans of feathers and braided straw. These little round fans of fine braided straw will be used at all
the resorts this summer. The tops are run with ribbon of any color. They
are light, useful, and pretty. Eagle
feather fans with queer Indian markings in gilt are very pretty. Somo will sell
for $50. Neio York Journal.

It is difticult to come to a choice

VinMnnes special : A new swindle is being perpe rated upon Innocent people In this section of tho State by sharpers. The scheme, as it has been operated on several unsuspecting farmers.

Thofurmerte told byth venerable gentleman that he Is getting up

The reader glibly gabbles ose lot of stuff to ihe larmer from two or three pages of manuscript,- ani then asks the farmer's signature. The result is the same as of old -.he farmer is sold, and in a few days rote Is presented to the farmer, a id, hi 1 ina ases out of ton, the swindle cm oB wi h the money.
