A Story of a Tree-Frog. IT. Lancey in St. Nitholas.J Une sultry night, in Indiana. I sat busily writing upstairs close to an ojen window. "My lamp, placed upon my desk, attracted countless numbers of the Insect world that come out to see their friends only after dark; there wa- a constant buzz around the lamp, and many a scorched victim, falling on its Lack, vainly kicked its little legs in air. Suddenly a clear low whistle sounded from the w indow a whistle somewhat like the found ma le when a hoy blows into the ori-tic-c of a trunk-key. Startled for a moment, I tu med my chair and beheld on the window-sill a little tree-frog gravely looking at me. His skin of an exquisite pale applepxeen color shone in the lainj-I ijght. Feariul that I might frighten him away, I sat motionless in the chair, watching him intently. Jresently he pave another little whistle, as clear and sharp as a bird-note. He was eviflently making ftp his mind that I was to be trusted (a confidence not misplaced), and soon he pave an easy spring and was on the desk before me.

Many a fair creature dropied upon the lenches with exclamations of delight, while their attendants sought to supply them from the table, to which they had to tight their way. Those who could not get seats stood around in groups or sank down uion the floor in utter abandonment from latigue. It was curious to sit and watch the crowd; to hear the gay laugh, the busy htini of conversation and" the jingle of plates, sikjous and glasses; to see hands uplifted, bearing aloft huge dishes of salads and creams, loa ves, of cake and stores of candies, not infreouentlv losing "plentiful iKrtions on the way. .Many an elegant dres received its donation of cream, many a tiny slipper bore away crushed sweets and meats, and lay among fragments of glass and plates uion the floor.

An exchange says there are no humorous women. That may he so, but when a short, fat woman wears a certain costume just because a tall, thin woman looked well in it, it is very, very funny. A woman must bare a good figure to wear the Knglish housemaid's dress, lor its plain, straight skirt reveais all deficiencies, and to try to conceal them with crinoline makes the matter much worse. The "housemaid dress," so popular in England, is gaining ground here. It is a good dress, but its chief charm, simplicity, is entirely löst when it is worn over crinolette or artificial protuberances of any kind.

The proportion of illegitimacy in Chili is prodigious exceeding twenty-three er cent. In the United States it is less, than seven ier cent.

In the midst of this close-fitting weather it is more or less comforting to be assured by science that only one two-thousand-millionth part of the sun's heat reaches the earth. Anybody that doesn't believe the earth is getting its share should gaze into the face of the gentle thermometer and blush for himself. A New York girl, Miss Fanny Swan, attended two weddings recently, those of Miss Sallie Marie and Miss Jessie lousing, in a thoroughly official way.

About his neck was a sjotted linen handkerchief; the skirts of his green coat were cut away to a mathematical point behind." Young ladies of the present day are very much better ofl'than the maidens of the davs of chivalry. It was very nice to sit in a cold tower and have on athlete in a coat of mail making tine speeches a column long, and then riding off to slay some other fellow in a tilt or tourney, hut she had no lawn tennis, poor thing, no watering place flirtations, no rides by the shad shalt shea. She could do nothing but sigh and moie, play on the pinnet or work samplers. The chivalry girl hadn't half the tun that the business girl of to-day enjoys. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE AND INCIDENT. The Hebrews, of Drooklya, N. Y., are about to build a new synagogue. A short time ago a Baptist Association was formed in Mexico, with six churches. The General Luthern Synod has decided to undertake a mission among the Jews in Chicago. The Northern Presbyterian Church has alsorbed the llefornied Presbytery of Philadelphia. It is rejwted that lft.OOO Protestant chil dren, are attending Catholic schools in the United States. In the last twenty-five years the Methodists increased the value of their church pryierty about $iO,U0o,0on.

In the deetest night of sorrow Godgiresus so much to be thankful for that we need ?ver cease our singing.

We must le very careful to avoid the error of mistaking occasional moments of streng religious feeling for a religious life. Jlen have been known to shout hallelujah in church whose reputation for steady and constant virtue every day was not first class. Transient ecstacy i.s not constant godliness. Here, in my opinion, lies one of the greatest secrets of practical godliness, and the highest attainment in close walking with God to come daily and wash, and yet to keep as great a value fortius discovery of forgiveness, as if it were once only obtained and no more.

Johnnie "I know it, ma. lut when I have a chance at a good dinner like this I'm apt to get excited." "Ain't you almost boiled?" inquired a little girl of a gentleman visiting her father and mother. "No, little one, I can't say that I am. Why do you ask, Daisy?" ' Oh. because I beard mamma say that your wife always kept you in hot water." A little west end live-vear-old son was told at Sunday-school that when be died he would leave his body here. After his return home he was much troubled in regard to it and questioned bis parents.

In a clergyman's house not a thousand miles from Chicago. where there was a bright little three-year-old boy, seven lovely little kittens had been born the night before.

FASmON A IT FLIES.

MidkdDiBier Toilet (withered Waist A Key-note of La-e. Gathered waists are the fashion of the sea son For all thin fabrics and foe light summer wlks. Lace dresses, gauzes, crapes, silk muslins. India silks, and all thin wash goods, such as lawns and mulls, are made up in some one of the various designs that have full waists shirred in rows or merely gather ed in a single row. The most dressy of these waists is the shirred basque with the front and middle back forms .shirred at the neck and again at the waist line. The collar is very high and close about the throat, and the slight shirring is just below it, consisting of not more than three or four rows very near together; at the line of the waist in front there are many rows of shirring, while the back has only a few rows extending between the seams of the side form: the middie back forms are not separated by a seam up the middli, but are cut in one piece in the old-fashioned way. The lining; of trans parent lace or muslin basques is cut low in the neck, either square or in V shape. There are short cap sleeves set in the armholes. An edge of narrow lace, usually Valenciennes for light fabrics, and black French lace for darker dresses, edges the neck and sleeves of the lining, which may be either linen or else silk. Sometimes the basque is fan shape. with the fullness of the front carried back along the shoulder seams; this gives the appearance of a greater bredtb. and i.s used by very slender figures. In other basques the slurring is confined to the ton of the basque, while fine pleats .or tucks are laid at the'waist line and for some distance around it. The round belt waist is also made in various ways, the. simplest and most iMpular form being that with a single row of gathering in the front and back where it is attached to the belt. This is made without a lining bv amateur dress-makers, as it is then more easily fitted, and is worn over a prettily trimmed corset cover, the modistes prefer to have a lining of linen or of the dress roods itself sewed in with the seams to strengthen them, but this does not answer with wash dresses, as the two dillerent materials will not shrink in the same proportion after being washed. Another full waist very much used by those with slight figures has the top shirred from the neck low down on the bust to represent a round yoke; the lines of gathering are threefourths of an inch apart, and extend around the neck and shoulders, making the waist quite low above the armholes. White mull and Valenciennes trimmed dresses have this shirred corsage, or else the plain belted waist and a black velvet ribbon belt confines them to the waist. The neck has Valenciennes lace turned down around it in a close collar that is also very high, or else the lace forms a puff with a "frill below it. Still others have rows of Valenciennes insertion forming a point down the back and front below the neck, ami others have the entire waist made of stripes insertion alternating with mull stripes. KEY-XOTE OF LACE. There are a host of dainty and pretty novelties shown for beautifying the upper inirtion of the summer toilets for young and old, and lace is the key-note to nine out of ten of these accessories, which appear in the shajte of quaint antique collars of the Dauphin. Stuart, Sevigne, Carrick, and Charles IX. styles, and au innumerable array of creamy jabots and snowy fichus, all of which act like magic in the transformation of a plain toilet into one both dressy and charming. The Dauphin collar is very frequently made of the very beautiful India or Madras muslin fabrics, matching the toilet. One of the rainjiest of these show a cream ground, figured with crimson rose-buds and fine green leaves. A wide pleating of the muslin, lace-edged, is turned over; with two scarf ends coining from under the front edges of the collar thus formed, and tying loosely in a graceful knot in front. A crimson "silk velvet collar, edged with cream lace pleatings, meets just at the top in front then skqes away sharply, showing the triangular space between the front edges of the collar, this filled in by the gathered ends of the muslin scarf. A similar collar was made of white India silk muslin, brocaded with tine blue velvet flowers; the scarf was edged with cream lace, and the collar made of pale blue velvet. Very lovely lace pelerines are made of oriental tlwuncing lace three-quarters of a yard deep. These are simply shirred in at the top in gathers close enough to fit the neck, and a five-inch rüttle of like design forms the collar, which falls over the shirring. A narrow colored satin riblon fastens the elerine in front, giving a little color-note to the toilet. This ribbon is often changed to match with the tint of the various silk gloves and tin? bonnet adornings. Another more useful cap. but one not so airy and light, was shown recently, wbich'was made of the most delicate and lieccy white zephyr, crocheted in a lace pattern worked with white silk floss and run through the o ten meshes with white satin ribbons. The beauty of this "piazza wrap" consisted in its finish at the edge of a frill of very lovely white lace, which was set beneath the crochet bordeiing around the entire wrap and below the zephyr collar. The effect of the lace and zephyr was novel, but extremely effective and chaste. One of pale mauve, edged with lieige lace, and anotherof lK'be blue, finished wit h frills of cream-colored Spanish blonde, were much admired: but the white ones, both in cream and ivory tints, were the most delicate and ladylike, and the better choice, as they could be "worn over any toilet, while the colored ones could not. Valenciennes is the favorite trimming lace for the light green, cream, or rose pink China silks, and for the India silks that have cream grounds, with red, blue, or green figures, or with flow?rs that combine all these colors. Such dresses have one or two lace flounces around ihe foot of the skirt, and successive rows of the llounces pass up one side to the hip, and are laid on dark siik, either red, blue or olive green. The skirt i.s then formed by gathering the breadths slightly at the lower end. sewing them to the top of the flounces, where they droop slightly, and then draping them above in curved tabliers for the front, and in straight long full breadths behind. ' The wrinkled front breadth can be held in place by velvet ribbon bows set on at intervals, and these bows trim the corsage on the breast, the sice . es, and the back of the basque. Stirring Political Scenes. The ineaehmcnt of President Johnson, writes Ben: Perley I'oore. was loudly demanded by Wade, Butler, Thad Stevens, and other ultra radicals when Congress met. "Why," said Mr. Stevens, "I'll take that man's record, his speeches, and his acts, before any impartial jury you can get together, and I'll make them pronounce him either a knave or a fool without the least trouble." He continued: "My own impression is that we bad better put it on the ground of insanity, or whisky, or something of that kind. I don't want to hurt the man's feelings by telling him he ij a rascal. I'd rather put it mildly, and say he hasn't got off that unauguration drunk yet, and just let him retire to get sobered off"" When the Bepublican ltepresen tat ires met in caucus, an attempt was made to discipline Mr. Raymond, of the New York Times, who was then a member of the House, for having attended the Philadelphia "bread-and butter" Convention. Mr. Jim Ashley, of Ohio, formally moved Mr. Raymond he requested to withdraw, whereupon that gentleman rose and commenced, in a very nervous manner, to give an explanation of what he evidently regarded as a very serious accusation against him. He said he was her as a I'nion man. He had always lx-cn a I'ninn man. He desired to continue in the I'nion party, and he would remain in the I'nion party. Ood leing hishcljer. Mr. N hoiiehl, of Pennsylvania, moved that the question of Mr. Raymond's belonging to the I'nion party be felt to himself to determine. If he honestly believed himself a member of that party, "he might remain; if not. be could w ithdraw. Thad Stevens lifted himself fairly out of his chair, cast a piercing glance at 'Raymond, and everylody laughed in anticipation of something very funny. He, said, he could.

not consent to let Johnson men- into- a Republican caucus. The idea of Johnson Republicans waexploded long ago. Asfor himself, he bad never believed in such a thing, and

he believed it now less than ever. "But," said he. "if I had good reliable evidence of heart-felt repentance evidence from Mr. Raymond I might take him on trial. I could not take him into full connection for awhile, but if I had his word, backed by re liable testimony,. I should be willing to take him on probation." .Mr. Darling, of .ew lork. came to the re lief of his colleague, and testified that Raymond had given a hearty support to Fen ton for Governor. He thought the Republican party had better retain him. A disorderly scene ensued, Mr. Raymond admitting, when questioned, that he adhered to tne doctrines in the address of the Phila delphia Convention, as he interpreted them. General Schenck then moved that no gentle man could honorably retain Iiis position in the Republicn party who adhered to the Philadelphia address, but Mr. Bingham voted to lay the resolution on the table, and his motion was carried by a vote of ÜS yeas against .'Mi nays. Rutherford B. Hayes, then a representative from Ohio, was among those who voted nav. A Daisy. Xew York Sun. General J. T. Torrence, a Chicago man. and "one of General Logan's most promi nent mends, nas had the happy thought to join two of these favorites in a combination ticket in whose favor we solicit the kindly consideration of a discriminating public. General Torrence positively asserts that "the Presidential slate of isss is" made up already. It lias John A. Logan's name at the top. It may have the name of William M. l'.varts at the bottom" The proiosed alliance of sword and gown w ill certainly prove formidable if it can be realized, and why shouldn't it? It may take some time for Mr. Evarts to reconcile himself to General Torrence'sidea; but it is a grand idea. Logan and Evarts! The warrior and the lawyer, the stalwart and the half-breed, the fiery ardor of the West and tire crystaline prudence of the East, valor and policy, originality and culture what a picturesque, pleasing and peculiar ticket it is! A Princess at Good Work. "It is pleasant," says the Ixnidon Christian, "to record that when the Prince and Princess of Wales, after a fortnight's almost incessant round of traveling, were on Sunday the guests of the Duke of Abercorn at Bafonscourt. the Princess, after having attended divine service, visited the rooms of a ioor working girl in the neighboring town of Newtonstewart, and remained with the dying sufferer for two hours. What passed during the long interview on that quiet Salbath afternoon probably will fever be known on earth, for the girl passed into eternal rest a few hours afterward; but there is in the fact a lesson and on example for those in less exalted jositions who have it in their power to carry comfort and love to the homes and hearts of the lowly and suffering, and who profess to be unable to find time for the exercise of such practical Christianity." Horseford's Acid Phosphate, INCOMPARABLE IX SICK HEADACHE. Ir. Fred Horner, Jr., Salem, Va., savs: "To relieve the indigestion and so-called sick headache and mental depression incident to certain stages of rheumatism, it is incomparable."

Before I had used five bottles I was well and at work as hard as any man could for over three weeks, but I worked too hard for my strength, and taking a hard cold I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that ever was known. "I called the doctors again, and after several weeks they left me a cripple on crutches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and he said Hop Bitters had cured him au would cure me. 1 pooiied at mm, tint ne was so earnest I was induced to use them nsrain.

. FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES. The proprietor of this celebrated medicin justly claims for it a superiority over all remedial ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cur of Arue and Fever.or Chilli and FeTer.wb.ether of short or long itanding. He refers to the entire Weitern and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to care if the directions arestrictlyfollowedandcarriei out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fasailies have bee&cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels ia good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, afterhaving taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dos of KENT'S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS will be sufficient. Use no other.
