A Protestant sisterhOOd Con.
.2sssfSfiSh of gandIdzte

,osaeratIbh off Candidate.
me New York World of Wednesday
says:
Two years since, a new religious order,
called the Protestant Episcopal SISTER
hood of st. Mary" was established in
this city, under the auspices of the right
Rev. Bishop Potter and some of the lead
ing clergy Of the diocese. The rulerso of the
organization prescribed that its members
should devote themselves exclusively to
works of mercy, by attending the sick,
aiding the poor, and disseminating Chris
tian instruction among the young. The
membership was limited to unmarried
ladies, or widows, over thirty; and IN Or
der to be admitted, it was necessary for
them to make a profession that they
would be subjeettothe rules Of the in
stitation, and continue their pious labors
till either the urgent necessities of their
kindred or some special providence called
them from their sphere of duty. In such
cases the bishop was empowered to re-
lease them from their obligations. There
are now seven sisters in the society, and
tbereareseyeral on probation IN the House
ofaMercy, St. Barnsbqs' House, and the
asylum for children, known as THE Shell
tering Arms" The members, and those
anxious to devote themselves to the same
work, reside in these institutions.
Yesterdaylwas set apart for the recep-
ton of q lady who had been some time
on probation as q candidate for admission
to the s~isterhood, and the ceremony,
which was peculiar and imposing, took
place before a large congregation in st.
Luke's church, Hudson street. The SER
vice on the occasion was one prepared
specially by Bishop Potter.
At II o'clock, amid a solemn voluntary
a large clerical procession moved from
the robing room to the chancel.
The members of the sisterhood, with
the new candidate for reception, each at
tired IN the black habit of their order,
which resembles that of the Catholic
Sisters Of Charity, occupied seats in the
front pews, near the Lectern.
The ante communion service was then
read, and a hymn sung, the sisters mean
while kneeling before the Chancel.-
Bishop Potter then exhorted the new sis
ter to remain faithful to the duties to
which she had consecrated herself. and
asked her if she had enteredupon the
work voluntarily, to which she replied in
the affirmative. He then offered q
prayer, and taking her by the right hand
acknowledged her as a member Of the sis
terhood of st. Mary, and at the same
time gave her the title of "Sister Agnes"
"A name diferent fomher own, and by
which she will be known in future.
Whenit the Bishop had ended this por-
top of the ceremony, the clergy. in the
chancel formed g semi circle round the
new sister and sung antiphonally the
hymn embodied in the service for the

not rich; he did not marry me for
my money, and he must have loved
me then; why does he treat me
with so much neglect" And with
her mind filed with such frightful
queries, Lizzie fell asleep on the
sofa. q
Let me paint her picture as she
lay there. She was blonde, with
a small graceful figure, and pref
ty face. The hair, which showed
by its rich waves its natural tend
ency to curl, was brushed smooth
ly back, and gathered into a rich
knot at the back-it was such a
botheryto curl it, she said-her
cheek was pale, and her whole face
wore discontented expression
Her dress was a neat chintz wrap
pei, but she wore neither collars
nor sleeves. "What's the use OF
dressing up just for William9"
Lizzie slept soundly for two hours,
and then awoke suddenly. She sat
up, glanced at the clock, and sighed
drearily at the prospect Of the long
interval still to be spent before
bedtime.
The library was just over the
room in which she sat, and dow
the furnace-fue, through the regis
ter, a voice came to the young wife's
ears. It was her husbands.

fitting Hoops.

That 1t is necessary, in the cause
of public decency, to say nothing
about good morals, for public jour
mails to enter q protest against an
infameus fashion, shows how terri
bly, society is becoming demoral-
lied. The tilting hoop mania
among the women and girls of res
pectable families, is a startling ep-
isode in American society. That
women of mature years should
wear them, and thus expose their
persons to the lascivious gaze of
street loafers, are indications that
the wearers naturally, if not really,
belong to the abandoned class by
whom this detestable fashion was
first inaugurated-but that young
girls of respectable families are al
lowed to appear on the street in a
guise which identifies them with
public prostitutes, with the sane
ton or permission of their parents,
argues very poorly for the good
sense or discretion of their parents
or guardians.
? Such sights are now daily to be
witnessed on our streets, as would
shame the Lorettes of Paris and
bring a blush to the cheeks of Cy-
prians. We have seen young Ia
dies of the most respectable (so-
called) families of this city, ex-
pose their persons through the in
strumentality of this infamous
fashion in a manner which calls
loudly for the action of the police.
To, the conservative influence of
that body we appeal for the pro-
lection of public morals. They
should arrest every woman who
appears upon the streets in this
abominable guise. This seems to
be the only effective remedy against
that fearful abandonment of Amer
lean women to the behests of fash
ion. Let the remedy be adopted
at once. 1t must be evident that
crisis is being forced on in the
fashionable world which will soon
er or later call forth the EARNED
intervention" of the public author

How TO Grow BEAUTIFUL.-Person may
outgrow disease and become healthy by
proper attention to the laws of their phys
ical constitution. By moderate and daily
exercise, men may become active and
strong in limb and muscle. But to grow
beautiful, howl Age dims the lustre of
the eye and pales the roses on beauty's
cheek; while crowsfeet and furrows, and
wriakles, and lost teeth, and gray hairs,
and bald head, and tottering limbs, and
limping, most sadly mar the human form
divine. But dim as the eye is, palid and
sunken as may be the face of beauty, and
frail and feeble that once strong. erect, and
manly body, the immortal soul, just fiedg-
ing its wings for its home in heaven, may
look out through those faded windows as
beautiful as the dew-drOp of summers
morning, as melting as the tears that glis-
ten in affections eye-by growing kindly,
by cultlvating sympathy with all human
kind by cherishing forbearance toward the
follies and foibles of our race, and feeding,
day by day, OIL that love to God and man
which lifts us from the brute and makes us
akin to angels.
