your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of the thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten.--CHALMERS. The drying up a single tear has more Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore. --BYRON. FASHION.--Fashion's smile has given wit to dullness and grace to deformity, and has brought everything into vogue, by turns, except virtue.--COLTON. A woman would be in despair if Nature had formed her as fashion makes her appear.--MLLE. DE L'ESPINASSE. Fashion is not public opinion, or the result of embodiment of public opinion.
