ON A NAUGH2Y LITTLE BOY, BLEEP.
Just now I missed from hall and stair
A joyful treble, that had grown
As dear to me as that grave tone
That tells the world by older care.
And little footdteps on the floor
Were stayed. I laid aside my pen,
Forgot my theme, and listened-then
Stole softly to the library door.
No sight! no sound !-a moment's freak
Of fancy filled my pulses through;
" If--no "-and yet that fancy drew
A father's blood from heart and cheek.
And then-I found him! There he lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught in the act,
The rosy Vandal who had sacked
His little town, and thought it play:
The shattered vase; the broken jar;
A match still smoldering on the floor;
The inkstand's purple pool of pore;
The chessmen schattered near and far.
Strewn leaves of albums lightly pressed
This wicked "Baby of the Woods; "
In fact, of half the household goods
This son and heir was seized-possessed.
Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached the feet that strayed;
And fallen in that ambuscade,
'The victor was himself o'erwrought.
What though torn leaves and tattered book
Still testified his deep disgrace!
I stooped and kissed the inky face,
With its demure and calm outlook.
Then back I stole, and half beguiled
My guilt, in trust that when my sleep
Should come, there might be One who'd
keep
An equal mercy for his child.

IMPROVED FIG-LEAVES.
Wraps and Searfs for the Promenade
and Drive-A New Color Already Fash
ionable-Dresses for Children.
It is a matter of surprise how soon it
was found out how necessary wraps
were for the promenade and drive.
Last year the polonaise or basque was
wrap enough; but now one has an un
finished look with these alone.
And the wrap may be the veriest bit
of lace orsilk, and look all-sufficient.
Those worn with grenadine are nar
rpw strips of grenadine, with a seam in
the back, to fit nicely, and then either
crossed in front and carried to the back,
where the ends form 'ashes, or they are
knotted low on the waist and the ends
left hanging.
The scarf, or mantelet, should be
edged all around with French lace,
pleated on quite full; and from these
tiny wraps the size increases, until real
mantles are seen. They, however look
hot and cumbersome for these midsum
monr days, and are mentioned only to
show what is surely coming for autumn
wear.
Grenadine costumes are made lovely,
this season, owing chiefly to the styles
being neat and not over-fussy,and to
the quantities of French lace and loops
of ribbon that trim them.
The notion has exploded that the silk
lining must first be covered with grena
dine, and then trimming put upon that.
Now the grenadine is mounted on the
silk skirt in pleatings and puffs for
a heading at the bottom, and if this puff
is cut bias, and each edge finished with
a narrow piping of silk, then gauged so
w that each edge forms a tiny ruffle, it is a
much neater fliish. The back is usually
in a long, square skirt, finished across
the bottom with fine knife-pleating, and
then gracefully looped up6n the skirt.
Bows and ends of narrow ribbon catch
the looping, carelessly, at points. On
the front side gores and front, the gren
adine can be put on diagonally,
either shirred or in folds, to simu
late pleats, and two or three rows
of French lace can be pleated upon it
to form double or triple tabliers. Or
the side gores can be trimmed one with
a plain rever of grenadine, with a long
point at the left, and this edged with
loops of ribbon, and a cascade of lace,
with loops of ribbon, falling beneath
and among them; and the other gore
alternate rows of pleatings of grenadin
and pleated lace. The front width is
usually made into points, edged with
lace similar to the one described last
week.
The costumes of the little folks this
season run to flounces. Even their per
cale dresses may be made with kiltqd
skirts, while there are two tiny flounces
oh the bottom, edged with torchon, and
the upper one is finished with a torchon
heading.
Percale, marseilles and linen are
usually finished with deep flounces of
needlework, and as these are easily
laundried, they prove the favorite dress
up costume for the little folks.
And there are gray linen blouses this
season, for both boys and girls, that are
the coolest things imaginable. They
are made perfectly loose from the yoke,
with a belt that confines them at the
waist, it wished for. The yoke, bottom
of skirt, sleeves and belt, are all em
broidered, by machine, in red and black.
Two dollars is all that is asked for these
convenient every day dresses for the
children.
The latest wrapper is made in Breton
style-that is, has a square over-front,
and is strapped across the back. We do
not think it as pretty or stylish as the
Marguerite.
Chemisettes are largely worn ; but we
predict that a few days more of excru
idating weather will cause ladies to
throw them aside and adopt full ruch
ings instead.
It is said there is a new corset made
for bathing. It is water-proof, fully
boned, and thickly pierced with eyelets,
W'onder if it acts as a sort .of life-pre
server, while giving the wearer a grace
ful form in the water?
There are also bathing shoes, with
metal soles, full of eyelets.
Abroad, just now, green is the rage,
and in every shade ever thought of.
The, newest of all is cooked sorrel. Our
lady readers in the country can easily
learn what this is, as they have ample
means at hand to experiment
Flowers are each day bedol&ing more
of favorites in the way of trimming.
Even parasols for all joyous gatherings
are ornamented with bouquets of
flowers.
Flowers are used to loop and orna
ment evening dresses in every conceiv
able way.
Ivory-white barege or grenadine is
just now the favorite over-dress for
evening wear, and it is usually worn
over the same shade in taffeta silk.
Nearly all ladies have two bodices
made for costumes of this kind-one
hligh for dinner, the other low for even
ing costume.
This color blends beautifully with
ruby, carnation, pale blue and pink, so
that a judicious mingling of colors
makes ivory-white a favorite color for
both blonde and brunette.
Ladies who crimp their hair over a
slate pencil will be pleased to know
there are now polished slate-crimpers,
with rosewood handles, so we may hope
the day of seared fingers and blistered
noses, by the use of a pencil that will
get hot at both ends, is done away with.
_On the other side, they are putting
pleats n dress-skrts at the top in front.
Wonder if this is a forerunner of the
coming of full skirts?
We hope not for the skirt of to-day,
since the eel-skin style has been aba,
doned for a graceful, flowing-back dra
pery, is the loveliest in shape that we
have ever had.
New linen ulsters are made with kilt
Ing in the back from the waist, and the
side back is rounded to form capes over
the arm. These are the most graceful
traveling cloaks extant.
A new mirror called the Triplicate is
an ingenious affair, and one that every
woman will hail with delight. When
folded, it looks like a handsome port
folio with covers of Chinese lacquer; in
bamboo frame. Open and hanging, it
is three mirrors, so that a lady can see
her face, back and side view, at one and
the same time.
Dear ladly readers, you who know all
the vexation attending the back hair, is
not this glorious-the knowledge that
you can take it all in, and know just
how that coiffure looks to other people,
and whether your hat is really as be
coming at the back as front ? Oh, these
are days of improvementI and none the
least are the many little inventions to
keep wrinkles from the lovely brow of
woman. Au revoir! BLANOHE.

SPEECHES OF ELIJAH WARD. Cloth; pp. 820.
New York: G. W. Carleton & Co. New Or
leans: Geo. Ellis.
This is a collection of the speeches of the Hon.
Elijah Ward on commercial, financial and other
subjects that are chiefly valuable because they
discuss measures of immediate and practical im
portance that yet remain unaccomplished. Mr.
Ward is a good Democrat, and his views are more
or less familiar to all of our readers.
SEEMAN's CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY. From the
Uerman of O. Seeman. Edited by G. H.
Blanchi, oloth,epp. 811. New York: Harper
& Brothers. New Orleans, Geo. Ellis.
This is s small class book of Greek and Roman
mythology, prepared with special reference to
teaching Its use in art. The works of art in every
parlor and pubho place, require a certain fa
miliarity with classioal mythology for their appre
ciation, and that this little book supplies in the
shape of pleasant reading, illustratted with outs
after some of the master pieces of ancient sculp
ture. It is reliable and accurate.
THE AMEHICAN SENATOR. A novel. By Anthony
Trollope. Paper; pp. 190. Price fifty cents.
New York: Harper Brothers. New Orleans:
George Ellis.
The title of this novel is a misnomer. The
American Senator--"Elias Gotobed, Esq., Sena
tor from the State of Mikewa to the Congress of
the United States" (:) plays a rather insignificant
and somewhat ridiculous role, which seems to
have been interpolated into the story without
rhyme or reason. The Senator is, at irregular
intervals, thrust forward as a censor of
British slavish adherence to traditional cus
toms which shock enlightened reason,
and is made to vent his views in a
very ill-bred and offensive manner. Beyond this,
he has little to do with the story, which is an or
dinary tale of English life, the most interesting
feature of which is the desperate struggle for a
desirable husband on the part of Miss Arabella
Trefoil. This character and the foil to it, Miss
Mary Masters, a gentle, straight-forward, earn
eat, loveable girl, are very well drawn. The
book is quite entertaining, as are all of Mr. Ti ol-.
lbpe's stories, and the interest of the reader in
the fortunes of the various characters is sus
tained to the last.
ART EDUCATION APPLIED TO INDUSTRY. By
George Ward Nicholls. Uloth, pp. 211. New
York: Harper & Brothers. New Orleans:
George Ellis.
"The object of this book,' says the author, in
the preface, "is to show the need of art educa.
tion in the United States; to relate something of
its history in Europe; to explain what is meant
by its application to industry, and to propose
a method of instruction best adapted to our peo
ple and institutions."
This object the author has carried out with
great thoroughness and ability, and, in the artis
tic elegacce with which his work has been given
to the pub ic, his publishers have rendered him
a most valuable, and, in lact, an indispeneab!e
seevice. The mechanical pait of the work is ex
tremely beautiful, and does full justice to the
subject treated, both in general aspearanee and
in the beauty of the numerous illustrations.
The term "art education" is most often used
in its restricted sense, or in its relation soll,.l to
the fine arts of sculpture, painting and architec
ture. But out author here treats of it in its
largest sense, as the application of artistio and
scientile instruction to common trades and oc
cupations, as well as the fine arts. He tries to
inspire us with a true appreciation of the
beauties of the old wonders of Limogee.
The treasures of the Hotel de Clury at d the
worksof such artists so Uberti, Michael Rangabe,
Lucca Della Robbia, John of Bologna, men whose
names are all unknown even to our American
lovers of art. He teaches us, too, that the edu
cated sense of the beautiful is not the exclusive
property of one class, but it may be possessed
and enjoyed by all. The book iq full of valuable
and curious information as well as valuable sug
gestions.

interest to purchase the ARROW BUCKLE from
