blesome for a walking-dress.

The hair is dressed quite plainly, although there has been an attempt to
revive the tiers of puffs so fashionable some twenty years since. There
are few faces which will bear the test, and Grecian braids and bandeaux
are much more universally becoming.

Gaiters are worn as ever, and black satin slippers are preferred at
evening parties. However, as these are not just at present, we reserve
our hints upon evening dress until a future number.

FASHION.

HOPE ON, HOPE EVER.

WORDS BY J. T. FRELIGH, OF ST. LOUIS. MUSIC BY E. C. DAVIS.

COMPOSED EXPRESSLY FOR GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK.

Music:

When the sun light of gladness
Has passed from the soul,
And the dark clouds of sadness unceasingly roll,
When the past appears only
A dim vale of tears,
And the future a lonely
And wide waste of years.

2

The star of hope streaming
Through tempest and night,
Is kindly left beaming
Our pathway to light
Inspiring and cheering
The lone and oppress'd,
To the weary appearing
A haven of rest.

3

Whose calm light reposes
'Mid sadness and gloom,
On the lilies and roses
That bend o'er the tomb;
Like a seraph sweet smiling,
'Mid blight and decay,
Through the cold world beguiling
Our wearisome way.

4

In ills all-sustaining
To mortals below,
And shining and reigning
Wherever we go,
Forsaking us, never,
Companions and friend,
Then "hope on, hope ever,"
And to trust to the end.
