MAKE HOME HAPPY FOR THE CHILDREN. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmadge, in a recent sermon on the right of christian people to worldly amusements, makes the following excellent points:

I coinmeud to you a large class of parlor games and recreatious. There is a way of making your homes a hundred fold more attractive than they are now. Those parents cannot expect to keep their children away from outside dissipations unless they make the domestic circle brighter than anything they can find outside of it. Do not, then, sit in in vour home surly and sympathetic, and with a half condemnatory look lecauso of the sport fulness of your children. You were young once yourself, let your children be young. Because your

alonu look at the great variety I «"«*arc dim and your ankles are stiff,

displayed iu the windows. If you don't see what you want, step inside, and we are sure that from the large and varied stock, embracing all the uewest styles, ou will be suited.

do not denounce sportfulnoss in those upon whose eyes there is the first luster

aud in whose foot there is the bounding joy of robust health. I thank God that in our drawing-rooms and in our parlors there innumerable games and sports which have not upon them the least taint of iniquity.

Light upall your homes with innocent hilarities. Do not sit down with the rheumatism, wondering how children can go on so. Rather thank God that their hearts are so light, and their laughter is80 free, and that their choeks are so rudd}*, and that their expectations are so radiant. The night will come soon enough for the heart-break and the pang and the desolation—it will come soou enough for the dear children. Carry into your dear homes, not only the innocent sports and games which are the invention of our day, but the games which come down to us from the sport fulness of all the past ages—chess and charades, and tableaux, aud battledoor aud calisthenics, and all those amusements which the young people of our homes know so well how to contrive. Then there will be the parlor socialties—groups of people assembled in your homes, with wit aud mimicry and joviality, filling the room with joy from the door to the in**tel and from "the carpet to the ceiling. Ob, is there any exhiliration likea score of genial souls in one room, each one adding the contribution of his own individual merriment to tbe aggregation of general hilarity

AN ECONOMICAL WOMAN. Rockland Courier. "My wife." said Wigglesworth, abstractedly lifting a handful of prunes from tbe l*ox, "is one of the moat economical women I ever saw. Whenever I smoke a cigar in the honse she makes me blow the smoke on her plants to kill tbe bugs, and stand* ready with a little box to catch the ashen which ahe uses for tooth powder, while the stub that is left she soaks in water and treats the flowerpots to a Turkish bath with it. That's the kind of a woman you want to tie to, young man."

OTHER PEOPLE.

An Oberlin, 0., man is working at a patent gallows. Gen. Grant never enters any of the hotels at Long Branch, but shrinks from publicity.

Lytton Sot her u, a son of the late E. A. Sothern, is playing his father's parts in English towns, with a view to mastering them foran American tour.

Dr. John Gray, the late well-known homeopathic physician, resident of the

marry him, lassoed her as she was going to church, and was dragging her toward a Justice's office, when succor came.

James H. Kuder kissed a neighbor's young wife, while assisting her to movi some furniture, at Tontogany, O. Her husband brought suit for damages, and Kuder, on heariug of this, immediately cut his throat.

Albert Morris and Jennie Adams were airly married in the clouds over Topeka, Kansas but tbe balloon landed them in a forest, and they had to make a honey moon pedestrian journney of ten miles to get back into civilization.

Alonzo D. McCarthy, a yonng lawyer of Decatur, Ind., bad great difficulty in winning Miss Rhodes for a bride. She loved him, but feared that his habit of frequent intoxication would make him a sot, and would only consent to marry him ou his solemn promise of total abstinence. On the day appointed for the wedding he committed suicide, leaving letters explain that he could not keep his pledge, and would die rather than break it.

The Rev. John F. Hooper was styled the Petaluma Pet. because the women of the Congregational church of Petaluma, Cal., petted him assiduously. It came to be understood that he wanted a wife and some of the candidates for that position were so bewitching that he had great difficulty in making a choice. Indeed, he became engiged to three of them, one after another, before finally marrying Miss Case. Among those whom he had jilted was the widow Bissell, described as a charging young lady. On bringing home his bride, the injudicious clergy man drove with her past Mrs. Bissell's residence, and pointed out the house in a manner to indicate that he was telling his wife all about the disappointed inmate. The widow complained of this to her friends, and that night a partjr of men prepared to tar and feather Mr. Hooper, who escaped by flight.

FLASHES OF FASHION.

Low shoes are much worn. Inflated skirts are gaining ground. Feather fans are very fashionable. The capote is the dress bonnet of the season.

Velvet ribbon comes in again as a dress trimming. Hussar bine is tbe newest shade of pale gray blue.

The more unwieldy a fan the more bon-ton it is. Handkerchiefs embroidered in colors are in high favor.

Long-wristed mitts and mousquetaire gloves are worn almost exclusively. Fantastic hats shading the face, with indented brims of large size, will be much in use at the seaside.

The belt or sash no longer defines the waist line, but is placed at tbe bottom of the long pointed corsage.

Some of the new satins are such marvels of delicate flower printing as almost to merit framing.

A bunch of artificial radishes appears upon a new French bonnet of dark green straw, faced with rose pink.

It is now declared to be vulgar for ladies to wear diamonds to breakfast at the watt*ring-places, says Mrs. Grundy.

A new shade of green has been invent ed, and is called "the amorous frog." A pelisse of "frightened mouse" over a dress of "amorous frog" must be very stunning.

Diamonds liavo become so common during the last few years of prosperity, and the art of imitation has been perfected to such a degree, that displays of such jewels are considered vulgar by tbe society swells, and they are taking to rubies and garnets instead.

The new summer gait for the ladies is called the side glide, and is made up of long, even steps, with the body stiffly erect, but falling and rising considerably with each leutheued stride. One hand dangles by the side, the other carries the parasol. This gait is especially adapted to tall, elegant women, but short little bunche3 of sweetness had better stick to nature if they want to look pretty and be admirod.

Mrs. Burnett, the author of "That Lass o' Lowrie's," dresses in the highest style of testheticism. At a recent entertainment in Washington she wore a gown described as the "Esmeralda." It was of shaded gray silk, with all the fulness of the drapery gathered both back and front into a yoke at tbe shoulders and falling thence in one unbroken sweep to the floor. It was not confined in the least at the waist, and ^was buttoned in the back like a child's apron from tho neck to the bottom of the skirt. There was a puff of cardinal satin on each shoulder, the sleeve* were long and tight, and a small pleating of the bright satin finished the bottom of the skirt and neck.

As a change from the plaited skirf, which is, however, still quite fashionable, some dresses are made quite plain, with nothing but a very large ruche, either pinked er not, round the foot. A second skirt is then draped very high on one side, with shirring continued up to tho waist line. Although the basque bodice and peaked waist, with panniers throwu very much back at the sides, are both very much in vogue this summer, not a few dresses are made with the gathered bodice and round waist. This is especially the case for dress of thin summer fabrics, such as vailing, grenadine, muslin, delaine, etc., and it is a very becoming mode for young ladies of slight figure.

CONFIDENTIAL FASHION ITEM. Philadelphia 1'rens. The bustle is an accepted fact, and she who does not wear one has a flattened appearance, as though she bad lain under press. The variety offered in bustles is great, and the choice among them a matter of difficulty. None of tueui in altogether satisfactory. Hair cloth flattens with but little wearing, and is hard to restore to its pristine roundness. Cushions are heavy, heating to the spine, aud sternly condemned by physicians a* unhealthy. The mohair okirt flatly gored in front and ruffled to the waist behind, is, perhaps the best of h11 bustle but it also looses its stiffness after «. while. Ladies who need not economize on their laundry bills will find it an excellant plan to make petticoats of tbe coarse linen wbich takes and retains starch well, and ruffle them from the bem to tbe belt at tbe back. Dressmakers put plaiiiugs of crinoline into the backs of dress skirts, attaching them slightly, so that they may be easily removed, aud removed when necessary. But, after all, there is nothing better than a large newspaper. Fold this, in all its six thicknesses, through the middle, so that the top piece shall extend three or four inches below tbe ttuder, laying it in a large box plait down tbe center, and passiug a wide tape under the create through the middle. This will retain all its elasticity for two or three days, perhaps longer, and may be removed without trouble or expense, only it is to bo hoped for the sake of f«ace in tbe household thst tbe gentlemen of tbe family will be allowed to read tbe paper through before tbe ladies appropriate it as a bustle.
