Fatality of Fashions.

1t is startling fact that human life is
shorter in New England now then 1t was
fifty years ago. There are diseases now
which were hardly known then, and which
bring thousands to premature grave.
What is the cause of all this! Has our
climate essentially changed! No-unless
il be for the better. The cause is to be
found, doubtless, in the corrupting fash
IONS of the times, which regulate the food
and the dress of people, and which make
idleness more respectable than honest stur-
DIV industry. We deprecate these fash
ions; they arc rapidly leading us, as a
neople. to those excuses which have pro-
we'd the ruin of other and earlier nations.
II is time this subject were looked into
with as much solicitude and care as poll
ticians look for the causes of civil liberty
and the public good.
In olden times.-in the days of the revo-
lution-when sons worked willingly in
the forests and the fields, and partook of
the simple but substantial fare of their
own farms; when daughters wore thick
shoes, Loose gowns, and labored at the
spinning-wheel and loom, such diseases
as consumption and dyspepsia were sch
dom or never known. Doctors were rare
acouaintancos then. But now, ifa young
man would appear respectable, he must
carry green bag TO court rather than
bag to mill; he must WELD yard-stck
rather than hoe or shovel; and, as for
Young ladies--alas!--t shoes must be
of kid thin as waters; their chests must be
pent up in corsets as closely as Chinese
foot, and their time must be spent in spin

A Good Sentiment.

A true gentleman can never intulge res
eminent against female. All vindictive
feelings or proceedings towards he weak
err sex, are unworthy or questionable.
The utmost that is allowable, whom wrong
is experienced from them, is tie simple
exposition of truth; accompanied by re-
gret and entire resignation, OF generous
forbearance as far as possible, consistently
with strict self-deience. Sarcasm, oblo-
guy, mere annoyance or revenge of any
kind, are repugnant to amanly character,
or chivalrous and high-minded spirit.

Yes ma'am,' bat in sadder tone than
usual was the only response.
Next morning she was up early, though
her head achcd badly, and she was faint
and weak from having sat so steadily
through the whole preceding day. Her
children were all taken up, washed and
dressed; her rooms cleaned, and scanty
meal of mush and milk prepared for the
little ones, and cup of tea for herselh
Her own stomach refused the food of
which her children partook with keen
appetitcs, and she could only swallow
few mouthiuls of dry stale bread.
l, was nearly Aen O'Clock when she got
fairly down to work, her head still aching
and aImos, binding her. Some how or
other she could not get on at all fast, and
it was long past the usual dinner hour
before she had finished the first garment.
The children were impatient for their
dinner, and she had to make great haste in
preparing it, as well for their satisfaction,
as to gain time.
Mother, we are getting tired of mush
and milk, said one of the little ones. You
don't have all the good things now you
used to. No pies, nor buildings, nor
meat.
Never mind dear, well have some nice
corn cakes for supper.
You'll have some soon, won't you
mother said another little one, coaxing-
ly, her thoughts busy with the nice corn
cakes.
And shan't we have molasses ON them,
said another, pushing away her bowl of
mush and milk.
No dear, not tonight, but tomorrow
wen have some.
Why not tonight, mother, | want some
tonight.
Mother amt got any money to buy IT
with tonight, but tomorrow she will have
some, said the mother soothingly.
O, wen have lasses tomorrow for our
cakes, cried a little girl who couldjust
speak, clapping her hands in great glee.
After dinner Mrs. - worked hard,
and in much bodily pain and misery, to
finish the other shirt, in which the last
stitch was taken at nine o'clock at night.
Soon after breakfast the next day, she
took the four shirts home TO Mrs. T,
her thoughts mostly occupied with the
comfortable food she was TO buy her chill
dren, with the half dollar she had earned,
For it was sad truth she had laid out her
last dollar for the meal with which she
was making mush for her little ones.
After examining every line of stitching,
Mrs. r----exprcssed appreciation of the
work, and handed the poor woman acoup-
lie of Iine shirts TO make for Mr.. ?,
and calico dress for herself. She did
not offer to pay her for the work she had
done: after lingering few moments, Mrs.
-----ventured to hint that she would like
to have part of what she had earned.
q dear! ! never pay seamstresses until
their bills amount to five dollars. II is SO
troublesome tokeep account oismall sums.
When you have made five doliWrs | will
pay you.
i Mrs.---retumed, but with heart tina
seemed like lead in her bosom. Wher
shall earn five dollars!---not for whole
: month at this rate, were the words tina
formed themselves in her thoughts.
