All -rel parasols gruw in popular favor. The return to polonaises is a fined fact Queen's gray is a new shade of this color. Pale silvery piuk is much worn at watering place& Shut or changeable materials are again high favor. Grenadinesdin all colon and black and white are wo . Fawn and porcelain blue snake an ad- mirable combination The most fashionable *Mors for travel- ing suits are chamois and fawn. Embroidered collars es large se the old fashioned tippets are again worn. Dhirred (null garden hats take prece- dence (/f all others for cuuntry house wear. White costumes are worn out of doors as much as they are indoor iu the coun- try. Gloves are worn over the tight sleeves and bracelets and bangles over the gloves. Flower tablien and flower fridges were seen in various tonna at the last Queen's ball in London. Oil silk bathing caps are now given a brim stiffened with • willow split in the hem on the edge. She silk and Lisle thread button less long gloves u much worn now take the name of Jersey gloves. Straw frinkes and ornaments imita- ting birds, butterflies, agraffes, etc., trim many fashionable hat& Stockings are made more decorative with embroidery lace insteps, and gold, silver, steel, and bead work. Large hats and poke bonnets of Man• ile straw are revealingethe porcupine and rough and ready straws. One black and one deep cardinal red Lisle thread stocking forms the "real fashionable pair" at the moment Shell pink, precisely the color that lines the conch shell, is the popular teat of this colur fur evening weer. Tulle bonnets, with a fall of lace around the ahirued brims, are pret- ty summer novelties in millinery. Outaide pocketa attached to the dress are no longer fashionable, they roust be detached, or detachable and hanging. Tournures are coming back with a vengeance, the protuberance beginning oot at the waist, but a considerable dis- tance below it. Silver frame is the rage in Paris, where it is draped over satin with slyer leaves or ornaments, and with silver Jerseys fur corsages. Bats, mice, beetles, and even little shinning golden and silver worms, ap- pear among the flower, feathers, and ribbons that trim bonnets and hats. While the Parisian costume designs are lengthening the wets of dresses, those of London are reviving the short waists and other styles of 1812 to 1825. Sashes and neck ribbons of Roman scarfs. having all the delicate tints id them now so fashionable, have the merits of being becoming, crushable, and washable. Hata in the shape of an upset basket, full of flowers, tightened over the ears with a wide ribbon, are pretty and uni- que for completing toilets of wash ma- terials- Chemisettes of pleated and puffed ed mousseline de Soie are worn under open baaques and ooresges which close only at the throat, showing the chemu- ette all the way down in she style of a Louis XIV. waistcoat White lace stockings are worn over colored ones of silk or Lisle thread matching the dross for evening toilet& The low slipper displays all the beauty of the lace inserted in the instep or up the ankles. In spite of the wretched taste of the faahion, ladies are too frequently seen wearing low shoes or high -heeled slip- pers in the street and in traveling, just to show the beauty and novelty of their fine hosiery. Ladies and gentlemen wear bathing suits on the Pacific coast beaches which would not be tolerated at any of the At - ]antic bathing places. They are decol- late, short -sleeved, short -legged, and fit the figure a la Jersey. The latest table cloths are of fine lin- en momie cloth with fringed edges, and sham open work six inches above the fringe. Some intended for luncheon cloths have color introduced in the even work and in the fringe. The latest novelties in stockings show shaded (ombre) effects; for instance, a shaden stocking has a toe of the most delicate shell pink tint, shading gradual- ly to deep crimson on the calf of the leg, and wain to shell pink at the top, where it is sometimes finished with a lace frill. Tog Bina Sociirr.-The Canada Presbyterian oonclndes an article upon this subject with the following:- "We ere not at all &edieg fault, though at the mete time we think that to expend $1,0134,20 in salaries and expenses in order to put into circulation $8,701,59 worth of Bibles and Testaments, while double that quantity, and far more, has berg[ disp noted of in the ordinary course of Weinman without any bonus being given or laked. seems at first blush of the natter a rather expensive mode of pmoedure. it may be all right We ave no doubt it is.

The custom of crowning a poet with laurel originated *worm the Greeks, end was adopted by the Homans, who bor. rowed this, as many other things, Erre their morn cultured neilph.ors of the East. The poets who received the crown were the ones who succeeded an the oon- tests. In the twelfth century the cus- tom was revived in Germany by the Em- peror, who invented the title uf poet - laureate. Petrarch was crowned in 1341 at the Rumen capital, which event at- tached mew interest to the title. The early history of laureateship in England is traditwual. The story runs that ad - ward 111., iu 1307, emulating the coro- nation of Petrarch, granted the office to Chaucer, with a yearly pension of 100 rucks and a tierce of 111alvoisie wiue. Ben, rare old Ben, Jonson, mentions Henry boogan as the laureate of Henry IV. John Kay, or Cain, was court -poet under Edward IV., and Andrew Bernard held the same office under Henry VII. and Henry VIII. John Skelton receiv- ed from Oxford, and subsequently from Cambridge, the title of pmt -laureate; and Spencer is spoken of as the laureate of Queen Elizabeth, because of his hav- ing received. a pension of 810 a year when he presented her the first books of the "Faerie Queen." In 1619 the "or- der" was formally established by James I., who gruted Ben Johnson, by patent, an annuity for life of 100 marks, and thus secured his services, In 1630 the laureateship was made a patent office in the gift of the Lord Chamberlain. The salary was increased from 100 marks to 8100, and a tierce of Canary wine wax added, which was commuted in South- ey's time for 827 a year. There was from that period a regular succession of laureates. The performance of the an- nual odes was suspended after the final derangement of George III. in 1810. The poet -laureate from the time of Southey has written what he chose and when he chose. Wordsworth wrote nothing in return for the distinction, and Tennyson has written very little. The following is the list of the laureates from Jonson s day to date: - Ben Jonson 1630-1637 Wm. Davenport 1637-1668 John Dryden 1670-1688 Thomas Shadwell ..... ... 1689-1692 Nahum Tate ...... ... 1693-1714 Nicholas Rowo 1714-1718 Lawrence Emden 1719-1730 Colley Cibber•.. ... 1730-1767 Wm. Whitehead.... .. 1758--1785 Thomas Warton. 1786-1790 Henry James Pye 1790-1813 Robert Southey 1813-1843 Wm. Wordsworth.. 1743-1850 Alfred Tennyson 1850 A Randle of Negro Aphorlsma.

We call the special attention of post- masters and subscribers to the following synopsis of the newspaper laws : 1. A postmaster is required to give notice by tetter (returning a paper does not answer the law) when a subscriber does not take his paper out of the office, and state the reasons°for its not being taken. Any neglect to do so makes the posOuster responsible to the publisher for payment. 2. If any person orders his paper dis- continued, he must Easy all arrearage*, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it be taken from the office err not There can be no legal discontinuance until the payment is made. 3. Any person who takes a paper from the post -office, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he hes sub- scribed or not, is responsible for the pay. 4. If a subscriber order his paper to be stepped at s certain time, and the publisher continues to send, the sub- scriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the post -office. This proceeds upon the ground that a man must ply for what he uses. 5. The courts have decided that refut- ing to take a newspaper and periodicals from the post -office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud. Nature, after all, is the great physi- cian. Sbe'hides all the secrets of health within her broad, generpus bosom, and man needs but to go to her intelligently for his every need. The discovery of the great Cough Remedy, GRAY'S SYRUP or Rin Srarrs Qui, is an apt illustra- tion of thio. As a cure for Coughs, Colds, Loss of Voice and Hoarseness it stands unrivalled, while its low price and readiness of access places it within the reach of all. Try it and be convinced.
