"It is scarcely the right thing," said a
young bride, "so look et gift horse in the

you want to worry over such a little thing
as that," observed her sister, who had,
been married nine years. "Those extra

then pia the others carefully away.

What Wilt the tinstte ?
Ladies who are having new whiter snits
seem perplexed concerning the bustle ar-
rangements in their effortto ascertain
whether it is to be large or not. Whenever
these unavoidable discussions are over-
heard in dressmakers' rooms it is always
matter of surprise that any woman can
hesitate an instant as to the advisability of
wearing sueli a hideous, uucomfortable
appendage on her bask, even when it is
considered the fashion. Often this order
has been given to the dressmaker "Put
in a bustle large enough to sway back and
forth as I walk; it's an awfully stylish
effect." The effect is certainly "Awful,"
and if any one of those women
who gave these directions fully realized
the angrsoefill, vulgar epeotehle they
make of themselves by a huge bobbing
bustle, and the unoomplimentary crab.
chime they call forth, they would discard
these abomination* so detrimental to cone.
fort and artistic outline. However, violent
extremes of fashion never last. A reaction
always seta in. Thanks to the lew of uni-
verital ohange the collapse of the bustle has
already arrived. Mrs. Sherwood writes
frern Paris that " tight lacing, large bustles
and the high hat :itre doomed," and
"Madge" writes from London that " the

Cremation and Religion.
Once, when the late Lord Shaftesbury
Was told that s certain High Church bishop
bad opposed the burning of the dead on the
ground of religious principle, and had de.
dared `that the practice would militate
against the ides of the resurrection, he ex.
claimed, What an andecioue limitation
of the power of the Almighty) What has
become of the bleared martyrs who were
burned at the stake?"' Of all the objeo-.
tions raised against this method of dispos-
ing of the dead, perhopio there is none so
fooliah as that which says that the act
would be an irreligious One. Everyone has
a perfect right to think what he likes with
regard to such r subject, but whatever
arguments may be introduced, sensible re.
ligions people have • right to aek that
relh.ion shall not be dragged into the con-
tent, to support either side. Considering
bow many of the early Christians were de-
stroyed by fire, and how many noble Pro-
testant heroes in later days naiad their
testimony to the faith at the stake, it is
impossible for any Ober -minded believer in
the grand truth" for which these martyrs
died to reject cremation on the grounds
itesociated with religion.—Itook (141pitcopal

A Warning to " lOtinnere."
A curious cape, showing to what extent s

A. collector who had several times called on
one George Baillie, WAS at last told by the
debtor not to return. Not heeding this in.,
junction, he did return, and was ejected.
Baillie was arreated, presumably for
assault, and the Recorder dismissed the
case with costs against the too industrious
collector. And the Recerderlaid down the
SW in these words "No collector has the
right to come toll house for the purpose of
collecting, if the one from whom he wants
to collect has once told him not to come
again. He may seek redress in the court,
but not otherwise." •

National Anthems.
There never we a more rousing ?compo-
sition thin "Li Marseillaise." " The
sound of it," says Carlyle, "will make the
blood tingle in men'. Veins, and 'WhOle
armies and assemblages will sing it with
eyea weeping and burning, with hearts
defiant of death and despot." It had a
great share in the first French revolution,
for in a few months after it was first
made known every ooe was singing it, and
the word' "To arms I March 1" were
resounding in all parts of Frame. At
every season of disorder since its strains
have excited the plosions of the people,
and if immortality can be predicted for
anyetune known to man this no, beyond a
question, the pm. And yet, es the story
goes, both word p and music were the pro-
duction of one night. They were composed
in 1792 by a person whom Carlyle calls
"u0 inspired Tyrtain colonel," Rouget de
Lisle, who,wee still living when Carlyle's
" French Revolution" wee first published.
The scene of its birth was Strasburg, and
not Marseilles, but it wee a force of Mar-
eeilleise which first marched to it, and hence
the title.
The origin. of the British national
anthem has proved a source of uninterrupted
vexation for many years pest. There fit
almost ae much mystery regarding it as
there used to be about the source of the
Nile. The common account attributes it
to Dr. Bull, King Jamea L's organist, but
it has ale° been olaimed for Henry Corey,
the author of "Sally in Our Alley."
Between these two the authorship and
composition ,. almost certainly rest, but it
has been found impossible to decide
definitely for the one or the other. The
music of "God Save the Queen" is com-
paratively time and anintereating, but it
agrees well with the comparatively peace.
ful, regular course of events which has
marked public affairs in England for over
two huudred years past.
The Russian .national anthem, " God
Protect the Czar," was CIA performed at
the Grand Theatre, Moscow, in December,
1833. Previous to this there had been no
national hymn in Russia, and the Ceara
usually contented themselvea with 'God
Save the King." The composer was Col.
M. Lwoff, and in return for the compose.
tion the Czar Nicholas presented him with
a gold snuff.box, set with diamond'. The
ramie is distinctly national, bat the words,
as every one knows, ere anything but the
ideal prayer of the Russian people: " God
Save the Czer ! Mighty autocrat I Reign
for our glory," etc. It is, properly speak.
ing, an official hymn, and is unknown to
the vast majority ef Bussions.
The Austrien tuitional anthem is well
known in England trona its use api hymn
tune. . 11 was composed by Heydn and per.
formed for the first time at the celebration
at the birthday of the Emperor Franz at
Vienna in 1797. The lovely air is thor.
onghly German,and found therefore a ready
acceptance in the hearts of the people.
Haydn himself was very fond of it. Be
need it in the variationei in one of his quar-
tets, and when he was dying he insisted
on being taken from bed to the piano, when
he played the air three times over very
solemnly in the presence of his weeping
servants.
The Danish national SI:Ahern ia. not
unlike the "Rule Britannia." It was cote -
posed by a German named Hartmann,
abotit the year 1770. The Sicilian Mari -
Der'. Hymn," thoagh it ma hardlybe called
nations' anthem, is 1 fevorite air with
the gondoliers of Venial), who sing it fre
quently.

Floating Gardens of the Asters.
During all their wanderings, wherever
they stopped the) Aztecs cultivated the
earth and iived upon whet nature gave
there. Surrounded by enemies in the
midst of a lake where there were but few
fish, necessity and industry compelled theta
to form floiting gardens on the bosom of
the waters. They wove together the roots
of aquatic plants intertwined with twigs
and branches until they formed a founds -
tion sufficiently strong to enpport a moil
they drew from the bottom of the lake, and
on it they sowed their needed maize and
chilo. These floating gardens were about
a foot above the water and of various
forms, the most effective being long and
narrow, called ointas, or ribbons. With
their natural taste for flower.
'they added
the ornamental to the useful, and them
small gardens, multiplying, were covered
with flowers and *mimetic herbs, whioh
were used in the worship of their gods or
lent to decorate the palace of the Emperor.
What a picture of delightful independ-

The peaoeful Indian could anchor his
flowery home where he willed, float beyond
social cares or political burdens, and from
piyiug neighbors and poll.porrot gossips he
could quietly paddle away! In these secure
retreats the spendthrift could elnde hie
creditors, the bank defaulter hide from the
minions of the law. -.-Outing.
