Hop kins, i The following on "the ethics of dress," which we find under the head of "Home and Society," is soundly sensible: There are hill-slopes and mountain-tops in New England which glitter just now in a spring-time broidery of flowers. With every season the flowers vary now arbutus, now buttercups, now clover; but no change comes to the solid granite which underlies them. Through all seasons and all years it remains the same. Even so, certain immutable laws underlie all human fashions, changing not with the perpetual flux and sheen of outward life. These laws, of grace, of symmetry, of pro priety, are the oracles of our highest culture and our finest instincts. They are natural laws as well, and the things of Nature con form to them. Willows droop, elm boughs curve accordantly no humblest flower that blows but' recognizes their behest in the shaping and the painting of its cup. But we are sot obedient as the flowers. Acknowledging the law, we forgot it. Espe cially is this true in matters of dress. Fashion twitches this way and that, pulls lines out of their rightful sweep and meaning, overloads, deforms, disguises, and our eyes become demoralized. Hardly do we endure before ve embrace; we become a part of all which at first we hated, and the higher law is for gotten. Wherefore it is to be wished that as, each season, our journals record the caprices of Dame Fashion, some cooler voice in the back ground might be provided, which should re peat and re-repeat the old code so easily laid aside, so important to remember. Or, to use another figure, that amid the arbitrary changes and glitter of society, a wise hand should be found to seize and hold up the Btandard as valid now as in the days of classic Greece, the standard of correct taste if haply a few here and there might behold and follow. This code, worthy to be engraved on tables of brass, runs somewhat after this wise: Imprimis. The first instinct about a new fashion is the true one. Don't wait till your eye has lost its accuracy and your judgment its edge. Subject the thing at once to the general rule, and bow to the decision. 2d. What suits one person does not suit another. Know thyself. 3d. Dress should supplement good points and correct bad ones. Thick and thin, long and short, are not all to be subjected to one Procrustean style. 4 th. Colors should be harmonious, should be massed, should be beoomiag. Id est, many little points or blotches of color sprin kled over a costume produce a disagreeably pied and speckled effect, as of a monstrous robin's egg, or a plum-pudding. One tint should prevail, relieved by a contrasting tint. No amount of fashionable prestige can make an unbecoming color beooming. "Nile greeu" will turn some people into oranges, though twenty empresses ordain its adoption. .rth. Lines should be continuous, graceful, and feminine. It is better to look like a woman C if von happen to be one) than like anything else even a fashion-plate ! Oth. Ornament must be subordinate. Na ture, with all her profusion, never forgets this fundamental law. 7th. Above all things, be neat. Dainty decision and freshness are essential to a woman as a flower. 8th. Individuality is the rarest and the cheapest thins in the world. 9th, and lastly, "Stylish" is of all the words in the English language the most deadly. It has Blain its thousands. "HARPER'S." .

It was i rancis Do minique Touasaint, a negro of pure bloo l, and grandson of anlUricsn prince. He wh small, slender man, who was so thin in hit boyhood that he was called "the little lath." " He was now between forty and fifty years of age, and bad been all his life a slave on the estate of the Count de Noe, whose manager, M. Bayou de Libertas, had educated him aud placed him in positions of trust. He was fctudious, thoughtful, and religions. He warmly sympathized with his enslaved race in tttii attitude of armed combatants for their own freedom. He had read with profound interest the Abbe Rayoal's essays on the multifarious evil effects of Blavery, and had long pondered peaceful schemes for the emancipation of his race in San Domingo. He was yet powerfully impressed by Itaynal's pictures of the great wrong; and in the ser vile insurrection which now invited his co operation he thought he saw a way open through a Bed Sea by which his people might pass to a land of liberty. TousRaint s soul glowed with an intense de sire to assist in the liberation of his people, and so boo n bs he oonld secure the safety of M. Bayou, his benefactor, and that of his family and some personal property, he joioed the insurgent blacks. His deliy had excited their suspicions and displeasure. They now received him with open arms. His know ledge of the medicinal properties of the flora of the island caused his immediate employ ment in the medical department. His mili tary genius, hitherto unsuspected, was quickly developed, and he was promoted first to the staff of his chief, and then to the rank of a brigadier-generai. It was not long before he was acknowledged to be superior in martial ability to the other black commanders, who were either incompetent or ferocious and cruel. Very soon San Domingo presented a most pitiful spectacle. The beautiful prin cess of the Antilles was made to bleed from a thousand wounds. Her radiant beauty was marred by the iron heel of war, and her rich garments were trailed in the dust and cinders of fiery discord. i rench commissioners were sent from time to time to quench the flames of civil war, if possible, by mediation; but they were unsuc cessful. Even the white inhabitants, divided into royalist and republican factions as fierce as those in i ranee, were irreconcilable enemies. The black leaders, regarding the National Convention as their foe, took the royalist side after the beheading of Louis the Sixteenth, in 1!)3, and, accepting the prof fered aid of the King of Spain, refused to listen to propositions from the republican government of t rance. Very soon new troubles appeared, whioh finally produced beneficent results. The Spaniards and the English invaded the west ern part of the island. The latter captured the whole western coast, seized Port-au-Prince, the capital, and besieged the French Governor, General Laveaux, and his troops, in Port-de-Paix. This was the last strong hold held by the French, and it was in immi nent danger, for the garrison was weakened by disease and famine. Woeful was now the plight of ban Domingo ! Englishmen, Frenchmen, Spaniards, mnlattoes, and blacks were contending for the mastery. The latter were overwhelming in numbers; and when the English invasion was threatened, the French commissioners resolved to conciliate them by a proclamation of universal free dom. That was done in August, 1703. In February following the National Convention confirmed the acts of the commissioners, formally guaranteed the freedom of all the inhabitants of the r rench colony, and made Hayti an integral part of France. loussaint, whose object in joining his in surgent people was to secure their freedom, saw in this guarantee of a great nation the only chance for the accomplishment of his holy purpose. He relied upon the faith of France. If her government in San Domingo should be firmly established, he believed that the emancipation of his race would be fully secured. He was then virtual commander-in chief of the black forces. He openly de clared his fealty to France, and formed a junction with the little army under the governor, bo energetically and successfully did he work to bring all parties to the same conclusion that General Laveaux exclaimed, Mais cct homme fait ouverlure partout" But this man opens the way every where From that time he was called by the name of L'Ouverture The Opening and he is known in history as Touissaint L Ouverture. From W. S. Turner we have received tne June numbers of Arthur's Lady a Home Magazine,which contains a number of fashion plates and other illustrations and an enter taining variety of reading matter, and The Children's Hour, which is filled with plea sant stories and sketches for the young people. ltOBESPIEKEE ON LIBERTY OF WORSHIP. To speak of ltobespierre as a teacher of morals may sound incongruous to those who asso ciate his name with little besides the guillo tine and the long procession of victims he sent to death. Many a better man, however, has failed to grasp the. truth he preaohed in 03, when churches were robbed and priests imprisoned, as is now the case in Paris. A French paper calls the attention of the authors of the present excesses to his utter ances on this point. "By what right (said be) should men hitherto unknown in the march of the revolution come in the midst of these events to seek a false popularity, sow ing discord among us, disturbing liberty of worship in the name of liberty, attacking fanaticism by fresh fanaticism, and making the homage due to pure truth degenerate into ridiculous farces r v by should they be per. mitted thus to play with the dignity of the people, and fasten the bells of folly to the very sceptre of reason ? It has been supposed that by receiving civic offerings the conven tion had proscribed Catholio worship. No, the convention has not taken this rash step; it never will do so. Its intention is to main tain the liberty of worship whioh it has proclaimed, and at the same time to repress those who abuse it to the disturbance of publio order. Priests have been denounoed for hav ing said mass; they will say it no longer if they are prevented from saying it. He who tries to prevent mass from being said is more fanatical than he who says it. There are men who claim to make a religion of atheism. Every philosopher, every individual, can on this point adopt whatever opinion he pleases. He who would make it a crime in him would be a madman; but the legislator who would adopt such a system would be a hundred times more mad." i Empanelling (lie Foster JuryA. Juror ho Wouiu joi Sim.
