Jnlla   Word   Howe   Suxcesta a Pro¬ grammo for the  Fourth.
The question will bo. How to make tho Fourth ol .Tnly n true fostivnl, a National solemnity, without forgetting tho claims of the young to bo amnsed, as well ns to be iustiuctcd. In tht lirst plnce, I should think that the day might fitly bo mado one of ronnion, by dlflerent clubs and associations of eulturo   aul   philanthropy. Thoso
whoso thoughts go deep enough to iiU'lerstanil tho true conditions of human freedom, might meetond com¬ pnro tbeir studies nnd experiences. Very fitly, after sneh n meeting, eaoh inlividual of them might seek ogroup, to whoso members he might present a po))ular slateraent of tho philosophy of free lom. Jlothers, who ehonl.l bo the true gnardians of peace, might well come togother to study oil that pr.imotes its maintaiaanco. In gath¬ erings ot older children, prize essays might be presenteil and discussod. I can iuiaginociviobanquets, of asorions and stotely character, iu which men ami women might sit together and pledijo each other in tho exhilaration of friendship nud good feeling.
I would hnvo jiroces.sions, but I would huve them less military iu char¬ acter and moro jnicifio in su'.!gcstion. Congregations of tho various religious confessions might wnlk in order, heoded by their minister.", who should all exchange tho right hand of fellow¬ ship with each other. I would have uo monater concerts, whieh cannot ba fully enjoyed, but divers assemblages, nt whicll musio of tho bighest order should be presontod. Letters of greet¬ ing ebould bo exchanged betweon cities nnd Stntes, aud tho dovico of the .lay shonlil bo "In tho Name of tho Hepublic." Tho history of tho war which culminated iu onr National in- depcudonoo should bo amply illus¬ trated by grniihio lectures, and pos¬ sibly by living pictures.
How wonld the following p>">grammo answer?
Ou tho evening of the."! of .Tuly quiot gatheriugfl in halls uLd churches, iu which tho true lovo of country shoul.l bo explained and illustrated. How many a name, balf or wholly for¬ gotten, wonld theu bo rooallod from oblivion, and with it tho labor and sacrilico of some noblo lifo, aomo ex¬ ample precious for the community I
Tho morning of the Fourth to ba ushered in by martial musio and a militiiry display suilicient to recall tho services of tho bravo men who gave our fathorsliberty. At 10 o'clock orations iu various public bnildings, the ablest speakers ot tho Common¬ wealth doing their best to impart the lesson of tlie day. From 12 to 4.30 in tho nftornoon I would have exer¬ cises for tho children of tho publio schools, examination of olasaos ia .\merican history, prizes given for ca- siiys on liistorienl nU'l patriotic sub- joctn. Ijnter, a gathering in publio gardens nnd a ten, with fruit and tiowers, served for tho childron of the city. In the eveniug tho singing of National anthems, tableaux vivonta uud llrewoik-i, und iu aomo form a pustoral benediction.
To these exercises I would aild tho signing ol u iilelge of good citizen¬ ship. Tho ple.lgo might bo either general or ]inrtii'iilnr in its terms, but the net ot signiug it should imply a .lisiuteroste.l public service of somo sort, a iinrtieipntiou in nome work useful for the health, benuty or order o.' tb'J city, without other leward than the budge or button whioh would rep¬ resent the iigreemeut entered into. I would have the history of other re¬ publics brought forward on this day, aud especinlly Iho historic atruggles of our own tinn-. Au.l I would if I eould 1-.impel the ntleudiinco of our meu nud womeii of fashion upon lec¬ tures in which the true inwardueas of Kuropenn society should bo exposed uu.l tho duuger shown of tho follies und luMirious pomp which tbey de¬ light lu imitutiug an.l which, however ii'ithetienlly n.lorued nud disguise.1, or.' for ns u lenl in tho pathway of iiioriil uud llltell.'eliiul deterioration. -Juliu Wnr.l Howe.

Tho luouoclo and jeweled lielt aro their purticulnr craze also. Kings are enormous structures. No ono wears small .liamouds uuless by tho .juantity ns o lleld for other set- tiU(pi.

The handsomer .juulities of silk, or, to spenk moro correctly, tho moro e.i pensive .pialities, are boiug ma.le uji for summ.'r ontlits. Poult de soio is a fashionable mnterinl, uu.l comes in ex.piisite shades. .\ maize or corn color is am.iug the novelties, uud wheu triiiime.l with white luce is ex- ceo.lingly becoming. It used to be thought that anything npproiiehiug yellow shoul.l bo exclusively woru by brunettes, but uever was thero ii greater mistuke, for blondes look e.junlly well in that color. Those heuvy silks used to bo considore.l suit¬ able ouly for eveuing weur, but we hove uow no fixo.l luws for miitoriol or coloring for dill'orout occusious.
