The liondage of A mcrlcun H o*
tuen. ,
The liberty American worum have
bc.'orc marriage in sharp contrast to tho
bondage succeeding it. Foreigners are
as much startlud by one as ihoy are ?>ur
prised by the other. They think wc
fail to shield in time of peril, an 1 re ar
buiwark* iu Iront of secuiity. They
cannot uodcrst md h <w hose o string,
sagacious and -olt helpful, in an ungaur
ded .?t?te, .should require vigilanoo and
restrict! u when pustMSAsed of added
knowledge, higher responsibilities, and
legal protectors. The freedom of our
wedded women should be na broad and
full as that of the unweded. Domesticity
should regulate itself. Tho cord of
lnynlty, binding love can nnt b( s.t retch
cd very far without breaking ; and when
it breaks, love is reloaded. A man and
woman are married to each o'.bor, not
to all their acquaintances an! ev?ry cu
rious gossip. It is f'uir to presume
that they know what they wish*
and that they can arrange their
affairs without iuteimediation. The
liberty thoy nro generally willing to
give the one to uie utlior thoy are re
strained from giving by tho question of
appearances. From this defcreneo to
the society they secretly despise they
insure mutual weariness anr1 dissonance,
and forego likewise tho satisfaction snd
advancement thoy might hare gained
by taking more personal no 1 spiritual
latitude Beside tho nuptiul oka r too
often yawns the tomb of woman's pro
gress, and, strangely and sadly enough,
she assists at its burial without protest
or complaint.
Tita Hu8Baki>.?Ladies sometimes
do not value their husbands as they
ought. They not unfreqnently learn the
value of a good husband for the find
tim by the loss of him. Yet the hus
band is the very roof tree of tho house
?the par?eristo.qo of {\\a edifice?tho
key .stone r?alh>d home, H;a is tjpa bread
winner of the femity^iU defense aipl
iu glory?=rtbo begioniqg and the emjing
of the golden chain, of life whioh sur
rounds it?its? controller, law giver and
its king. Yet, we nay, how frail ;is that
life on which so much depend* ! IIow
frail is the life of the husband and
father 1 When he is taken away, who
shall fill his place 7 When heissiok,
what gloomy clouds horer over the
house 1 When he is dead, what dark
ness, weeping, agony 1 The poverty,
like the murderous assassin, breaks in
the window?starvation, like a famish
ing wolf, howls at the door. Widow
hood is often as associate of saokoloth
and SBhes. Orphanhood too often moans
desolation and woe.
Creole Women.
The Creole woman is prettier than the
Frenob woman. There is a climatic in
fluence in America which refines features
and gives delieacy to tho complexion.
This is especially the case in Louisiana,
where finely formed woraon are often
found to be the descendants of ignoble
looking ancestors. The light olive tint
of tho woman seems to have been paint
ed over a ground color of blushing lako ,
aud this pinkish creaminess of the skin
saves it from dullness and sallowness.
In a word, there is something of that
traasparsoy for which painters aro
always aeeking.
She inherits from her mother over the
sea the physical characteristics of round
limbs and delicate extremities, with a
figure something slighter?another
effect of climate, also that sense of art
with which the people are born, but can
never entirely acquire. From the same
source come her coquetry aud her grace
of speech aud action, but modified. She
docs not wear crude oolors or awry
shapes; nor docs she oxpress herself
with unseomly gesture or discordant
toues Her dress is rather sombre than
gay, and her carriage simple and conven
tional?for they all waik alike. Smooth
ness and graceful propriety archers. In
a word there is au absence of angles in
her general conduct.? Galaxy.
Fashions.
The fashionable umbrella is now more
attenuated than evor.
Ladies, hats this season consists chiefly
of two bows of ribbon aud a stiff ostrich
feather.
The Elizabethan ruffs are assuming
proportions more pondorous and awe-in
spiting than ever.
Cameos have gone out of fashion for
jewelry, having been succeeded by en
taglios?antique, if possible.
It is fashionable now to have all tho
maid servants in the household, to wear
aa*u>, ?fuc the English style.
Ladies just from Europe wear their
hair very plain and low on the ucck?a
style all the tage in Paris.
Fringes aro to be very fashionable as
trimmings this wiuter. Some of the
haudsomcr sorts are as expensive as fine
laces.
The war against gilt and imitation
jewelery continues furiously. As a re
sult, very little of;, is worn by would
be fashionable ladies.
Peacsek blue is the new color for
sashes, which are worn of the widest
kind of ribbon, and with long ends
down to the skirt of the dress. Peacock
blue is very soft and beautiful shade.
