A-women, too.
At last, at long, long last, FaJiion seems to
belaying aside her tool's cap and bells; and a
lady can bestylisb, without being idiotic or ir
docest. The Caucasian Laities' Column, with
its weekly doses of hard sense, vigorons criti
cism, sound doctrine and correct tate, may
have had some influence in effecting the desira
ble change. The bard times, compelling more
thuugbtlulness, may have done it. Or heaven 's
last, best, desrest (in a pecuniary point of view j
gifts to man, may have become disgusted theui
Belves, at the excessive follies in which they
have reveled for years. Come wnence it may, a
great improvement has certainly taken place.
A few gleams of reason and decency have man
aged to struggle through all the masses of dead
hair, berup, wire, uios and miscellaneous flub
dubhery, that have so long converted the lovely
pates of creation's radiant mistresses, into
Biere mammoth inn-cushions, sofa-seat.-, mat
tresses or bearse-paildings. The consttmption
balchiug, paper-soled slippers hare alm...-t
disappeared; and shapely, high-heeled, substan
tial shoes have taken their places. The
hoops have shrunk to just the dimensions
necessary to the comfort and grace of the
caskets uf sweetness they enclose. The
murderous waist-chokers have relaxed; and the
Medicean Venus is, once more, becoming the
model form. The hideous, ungainly and lasciv
ious kangaroo-stoop has totally ab-euuat-ulated.
Ths dromedariacal vertebral hHmp has been
poulticed into a somewhat moderate deformity.
The loads of jewelry, which have made our
women look like uneasy kitchen-racks, ont for
a stroll, with ail their pots, pans, hooks, chains,
in nIln and napkin rings, are pronounced insuf
ferably vulgar. The bonnets, while still far
Iroin artistic perfection, are neither huge ami
li irriii coal-scuttles.or contemptible microscopic
nonentities. The interminable, filth-gathering,
street-swseper dress-tails have been amputated.
Rare and beautiful colors have been added to
the feminine prism. And the costnmes or the
Oay combine, In a marvelons degree, elegance,
durability and cotnrort. And belter than all.
Hie shameful, low-necked dresses, which have,
from time immemorial, disgraced all fashionable
womanhood, are being slowlv, but surely,
banished from our parlors and drawing-rooms,
to places unfit ior ears polite, where they ol
nht belong American girls have out-stripped
ail competitors in these shocking a la mode ex
posures these reckless recherche indecencies.
1 hey'veru.hed in, neck or nothing. A sliitrle
rose-bud, tr a uuger-length baml of ribbon,
baa been amply sutbcient for a waist, 'the
'black-rrook' ; anil "white-fawn" have shone
forth in all their native nudity, in every assem
bly hall and aristocratic salon. Full dres
has only been a euphemism lor utter undresn.
Slnppiug for dinner or a ball, bas been the
proer term. Who could attend an evening
party, in any ol our great cities, at any of our
upper-eruty watering-places, without recalling
the remark of a distinguished Kuropean who,
wniie years ago, made a to'ir ol our r-antern
stales. At a grand reception in New lork,
a worthy ciluen, enthused with the beauty
of our country women, as they glided hither
aud thither, dazling III native lovellne-.
and gorgeous costiiiuery, exclaim. d. ' Did you
ever see anything like it?' ' ' ' Never since I v as
tttaned, sir," was the quiet, bat crushing, repl v
ul the strmlger. Hut thank heaven, t!iere
h-jrribly immodest, indelicate, unwomanly ilia
plays are being driven I rum tbe baiinis ol "good
society." Now, let the licentious "Muggings
set to music' 1 follow ; and the social inillenniuui
will be near at hand. Women, girls, creation's
crown-Jewels, master-pieces of Omnipotent
ienius, brightest and iovablest of all the benign i
in eartu or air or sea or say, cultivate tne pure
and beautiful and good ; abhor the vulgar, the
depraved, tbe bail, shun the very appearance
ol evil, in dress, demeauor and conversation.
He natuiat; follow vour own sweet aud uoble
lustlncui; be yourselves, regardless of the giddy
world's fashions or oninious ; and you'll be ail
we'd have you be! Were you anv better than
that, earth would spelily Ce le a wil.Ierne-s,
teuanlles. and bare; ror you'd all be translated
to some fairer, boiler realm beyond the -kits
fials, don't be too good!
.Street colloquy in Uover. Young tentleman
meets .Miss I) ; raises bis stove-pipe; bows in
bis most graceful style; and. tenders the eosto
u.ary malutinal compliments. She fays: "lu

"its just cool enough to be bracing." ' ilon't
fancy such bracing," she silly remarks
No." retorts ttie masculine savage "I exieet

CAUCASIAN THEOLOGY.
HEAVEN.
What strange notions many pople have, in
regard t- everything that pertains to religion,
eternity and their souls Neglect of the Bible,
the only fountain ol true knowledge, is the
reuse In their worldly business, there is no
looseness, no vagueness, no IndecMon. They
study it closely, diligently, thoroughly; then
mark onl their plans; and goto work. Bnt In
all those rj it lily affairs, connected with their
everlasting destiny, what misty, muddled,
absurdity-befogged Idem, What waverings,
doubts and uncertainties, tiod, seldom thought
of at all, is a dim, indefinite Heing, wrapped in
cloud, and indiflcrent to the small affaire nf
human life absorbed in mystic meditations
upon countless ages past or only interested in
the movements of angels and arob-angels,
cherubim and seraphim. C hrist, the Savior of
sinners, is dreamily regarded as a g od man, in
a long flowing robe, who died jen a cross, and
was afterward miraculously resurrected ad
borne to heaven No distinct appreciation ever
enters their dullard brains, ol the fact that the
dce)ised anil crucified Sazarene was, and Is.
the Omnipotent Jehovah, who, in the beginning,
spoke the universe into existence. And then
their conceptions of heaven how confused,
how indistinct, how puerile and nonsensical!
Heaven! What picture rises at the mention of
the na uie? It is not a vast caravansary of naked
souls, bat-like spectres, airy nothings, invisible
andrthcrial essences, flitting hither and thither,
by, and in, aod through, each other.
Not a huge, dazzling, blinding metropolis
of hard, cold, glittering Jewels, flashing
ten thousand gorgeous tints of endless
light, into our unaccustomed eyes, and
overwhelming, stupefying us with corrus
catin; grandeur and magnitlcence. Not agreat
aerial Jeddo, paved with gold; for in such a
caie, many good Lexington christians would
never get their eves above their boot-toes, and
would spend c'terniiy trying to pocket the
paving-stones. Not a w ide-spreauing plain,
watered by a crystal river, with millions of
white-robed loafers lolling idly on Its banks,
with nothing to do but strum on harpsichords,
and shout hosannaa. Not a bit ot it. Heaven
itself would grow monotonous aud tiresome,
under such circumstances Hut it is a world
likeTiiis.purnied from all corruption and decay.
A world, where we ll meet, and know each
other liir better than we do here; for these same
bodies will be there, resurrected, imperislialde,
and rad.aut ith immortal youth and beauty.
A world, where long-sundered family-groups
will be reunited, to part no more, forever. A
world, where tbe f miiliar son of lark and lin
net and thrush, w ill greet our ears, lrom bow
ers of fadeless foliage. A world, where
A .raiiam. Isaac, anil Jacob, Moses, David,
Daniel and Kliiah, id all the freshness and vigor
of thousands of vears ago, w ill be our associates
and Ine'.ds. a" World of illimitable learning
and progression, with angels of perhae a
million years' experience, lor instructors and
guides. A world of sweet aud holy converse,
ol eS rr anting bloom, and d atlileos love. A
world free from sin and sorrow, pain and tears;
where deceit, back-biting, falsehood, jealousy
and hate, sir never known; where sighs aud
groans, envy, outrage, wrong and death, can
never come.'
No sickness there,
So wearv wasting of tbe frame aw ay .
No fearful shrinking from the midnight air.
No dread of summer's blight and fervid ray.
No bidden grief.
So wild and cheerless vision of despair,
No vain petition lor a sw ill relict,
No tearful eve, no broken hearts are there.
Care has no home.
Within that realm of rapturous praise and song;
Its tossing billows break and melt in loam.
Far from the mansions of the epirit-tnrong.
No parted friends,
O'er mournful recollections have to weep;
No bed of death, enduring love attends,
To atch the coming of a pulseless sleep.
No blasted flower,
or wi hered bud. celestial gardens grow;
No scorching blast or tierce descending shower,
scatters destruction like a ruthless foe.
No battle-word
startles the sacred boat with fear and dread,
I he song ot peace. Creation's morning heard4
Is sung wherever angel-minstrels tread!
lit a ler, friend, there is but one road to ibis
realm of the blest. Straight is tbe gate and
narrow is the way. It is often a rugged and
thorny path; and marked, all along, with tear
stains and foot-prints of blood. Trials and
dangers beset the traveler in it; storms ef temp
tation and sorrow, bent upon his head. Rut
perseverance, and humble, fervent trust in the
dear Lamb of Calvary, will bear him safely
and surely through, at last. There is another
track, broad, smooth, well-beaten. Flowers
bloom along its borders, tiilded saloons offer
rest and refreshment to the journeyer. Softly
tinted light from many a brilliant ball of pleas
ure, gleams on his course. Music and perfumes
lend their charms. The cards and dice and
licentious dance, afford aniiucmmt for biM
leisure bours . Hiit ah, the journey's end ts hell!
Reader, which route is yours?
FILTHY ABOMINABLE PRO
FANE. Pile all these wonls together; melt erery term
of condemnation into one; anil then you'd fall
a million furlongs shurt of doing utic to tbe
theme. S-s-a-sh-su-shtw! Sa-sa-s-ehtiuish!
fjuirtf spatter f splash! Ugh, what is it,
what tiin it be? Tobacco. The foulest weed
that earth's sin-curbed and poisoned bosom
bear su noxiuus and nauseous, that only man,
and the mo?t loathsome green and horned worm
that crawU on all God's fuottool, are naaty
enough to use it. Go where you will; in every
parlor, hail, strt-et-ear, saloon and omnibus;
in every office, bank and railroad waiting-room;
in courts of justice; aye. in the very temples of
our gods the odioito spitting, spirting, eputtermg,
goes on. Teeth blackt-ned, breath polluted,
lungs dogged and weakened, nerves fcbattered.
and brains softened and unstrung. Floors de
tiled, dresses drabbled and.9oiled,and all.deeent
noses and stomachs diogUoted. Knter that
stately church, with us broad folding
doors, and heaven-pointing spire. Spacious
and eli-gunt building. Rich and costly
carpets . isoflly cushioned pew A. K very
thing that exquisite taste and lavish
expenditure of nior.-.y, can do to promote the
comfort and convenience of the worshipper.
You are hown to a seat. Ten chances to ova,
your next neighbor is a tobacco-grinder and
perpftmil tilth-squirt. Spit, spit, fcpis, every
half minute, as if he were marking time. Seethe
sickening puddles. Bah! W e'd a thousand-fold
ratht-r sit beside a forty-poh-cat-powersyringt
or among a litter of infantile Berkshire. But
worse and more horrible stilt. The holy com
munion is being celebrated. The emblems o.
the broken 1?bdy and shed blood, of the crucified
Son of God, arc passed around. Oat goes a
huge quid of masticated nastintss, from every
tobaeco-cbewer's mouth; and in go the conse
crated bread and wine. Scarcely are his lips
wiptd,till his jaws are once more crammed with
the weedy abomination. 1 it not shameful
horrible; a profanation; almost a sacrilege?
Christian, if you will be guilty of the detestable
vice, empty your mouth of cuds at the ebure
door.

For llrup.T and lFropalcal Hwpllinga
