The HONE Passive clip the
following from the Chicago Repubi
can, and commend it to the considera-
ton of our readers:
"What tells so readily the standard
of a town or city as the appearance oi
Its paper; and its youth or age can as
well be defined by the observing, by a
glance at its newspaper, as though a
personal observation had been made
The enterprise of its citizens are de-
picted by its adVertisements-their lib
erality by the looks of the paper. Some
papers show a good, solid, healthy
foundation, plethoric purses and well
to-do appearance generally; others
show a striving to contend with the
grasping thousands around them, trying
to wrench out an existence from the
close listed community around them.
An occasional meteoric display in its
columns of telegraph, of local, or of
editorial, shows what it would do if it
had the means, but cannot continue in
the expensive work until the support
comes which ought to be readily grant
ed. A newspaper is like Church; 1t
wants fostering at the commencement
and for few years, then as a general
thing it can walk alone, and reflect
credit upon its location. Take your
home paper; it gives you more news of
immediate interest than tine New York
or other distant city papers it talks
for you when no others will speak in
your favor; when other localities belle
you it stands up for your rights; you
always have a champion in your home
paper; and those who stand up for you
should certainly be well sustained
Your interests are kindred and equal,
you rise or fall together. Therefore, it
is your interest to support your home
paper, not grudgingly; but IN a liberal
spirit, as pleasure, not as disagreea-
bic duty, as an investment that will
amply repay the expenditure"

The DUTIES OF AN ENGLISH LADY S
MMD.-One of these not-to-be-envied
/ persons, a race which may be classed
with that of Governesses, has recently
made disclosures throwing a peculiar
light upon the woman of rank in "Old
England" Much is required from us
in London she writes: 1--WE must,
above all, be very punctual, for fash
ionable ladies change their dress at
least five times day during the season.
We must have polished manners, be
no older than thirty-fve years, and al
ways be cheerful and goOd-tempered,
although for weeks we are kept without
sleep until four o'clock in the morning,
a practice which is equally injurious to
eyes and lungs. We are expected 10
cut and fit and to use the most i'm
proved machine, and to dress hair for
the morning, evening, and court COS
tune as well as for the drive; to iron
well, to read, write, cipher to speak
French and German, and, if possible,
to have travelled. There is still anoth-
er function of lady's maid which Is
supposed to be modern introduction,
but which is in fact merely a revival of
an ancient custom. We must be aOle
to paint in pastel, not indeed after ma
ture. but upon her. To 5eautify our
mistresses we must redden the cheeks,
put antimony upon the eyelids, pastel
upon the brows, introduce belladOnna
into eyes in order to enlarge the pupils,
paint blue veins upon the temples, and
use ninon paint and pearl-white upon
the rest of the skin. We must change
the hair to a reddish-brOwn by means
of a corroding material or Of palma
vecchio," which is now used in prefer
ence for that purpose and We must
be possessed of great skill in applying
all these ingredients, as their use IS
universal with the old as well as with
the young"
