who Darei

We put the question boldly-wh0 dare
There are plenty who dare rush up to the
cannOu's mouth, for patriots m or nay; pler
ty who dare do any deed of peril or shame
even to disappearing God-5ut who, that
can honestly or dishonesty avoid it, dare
appear IN our streets with patch on the
elbow of his coat,o knee Of his pantaloons
Who dare have "seedily" dressed frie nd.
and own him as such before society? Who
dare be civil to the humblest woman, and
show her in the Omnibus, the car and ON
the street, that Difference which be hastens
to shower on fine gloved aad feath cred
ladies ?' Who dare have it understood
| among fashionable acquaintance" that
he works hard and diligently for living,
and must be prudent and economical to
support himself, if single, or his family, if
| he have one?
Thus far we have put questions to men,
Where is the Miss or the Madam, in these
! days, who will not pause 10 the midst of
almost any honest labor, to apologize for
the fix" she has been caught in? Where
is the woman who VIII promenade our
! streets in aught but silks, laces and feath-
ers, If she can get them? Where is the
woman pretending to be respectable" let
! alone ''fashonable"-whU has not a chron
| &c way of turning up her nose at the idea
! OF domestic tOll-who is rot seriously
| shocked that any one should fancy she ever
visits her kitchen, or nurses her own ba-
bies w here's the woman who will choose
| the blunt, honest, smOU;he faced American,
with some claim to solid character for a
/ beau, lover or husband rather than hairy
refugee from some European tread mill or
/ galley?
There are some such men and women as
/ we have inquired abOut-aII honor to them!
! There Is still some Difference for humanity
and the sOlitudes Of life, left for the worst
times aud communities. But our daily ex
! perience tells us that the mass of "respec-
table men act largely upon appearance,
! and fear mad dogs less than they do
| patches. Their credt-manY of them be-
ing over head, in debt-wuuld be ruined
| by single patch: the "decant" acauain-
lance would "cut" them by reason of that
same badge. No matter how sOiled their
real characters, their clothes must he clean
and whole. These cuurtesies must be re
served for gentlemen and ladies-they can
not afford to be civil to the common "herd'
OF mankind. And your Zine lady," she
must keep her hands white and soft,
though her husband and father may be on
the verge of bankruptcy. appearance is
every :ng"-such is the prevailing motto
1t is false, shameful ,ant-republican motto
Who that reads this will hereafter stand ur
against it? We repeat our question-WhC

to buy packages of tickets, he purchased
numbers at low figures, and hung about
the streets waiting to know the result
Lower and lower he sank. Evil associates
led him to drink; and often when he did go
to the wretched home where his wife toiled
with the needle Cor bread, he was intox-
icated. His poor wife sorrowed in secret,
but still she loved him. The memory Of
the past hung over Der Ikea silvery cloud /;
faint ray Of hope for the future fingered
in her heart. One evening when "luck "
as he called it, had again gone against him.
and he had endeavored to drown his NOR
ti6cation by heavier rotations than usual,
he returned home sullen and gloomy. His
wife looked upon him as he buried his face
in his hands and sat silently brooding over
his evils. She thought CLEAN of peni-
tence might remain, and so she mildly re-
monstrated with him, and begged him TO
give up his present course Of life and get at
some regular business. While speaking
she approached him, and endeavored to
take one of his hands in her own. God
forgive him He struck her Poor, frail,
suffering woman that she was-he struck
her with such force that she fell to the floor
insensible
Not waiting to see the result Of the blow,
he fled from the house. and soon forgot all
in beastly state of intoxication. That
night he was picked up by the police and
taken to the station house, where he became
sober. Oh his release he went to what bad
been his bone, but it was deserted His
wife and child were gone, and the house
was closed. For moment he was lost in
amazement, and then the recollection of
the scene of yesterday came back upon him
like dream. Filled with remorse he went
to his wife's parents, thinking she had gone
to them. He rang the bell; the servant
who answered it told him that his wife was
