The True Standard of Dress.

We are always unwIse when we sacrI-
fee the higher beauty to attain the lower
one. 4 woman who would sacrifice domes-
tic affection, conscience, self-respect, honor,
to love of dress, we all agree, loves dress
too much She loses the higher beauty of
womanhood for the lower beauty of gems
and flowers and colors. A girl who sacri-
fees to dress all her time all her strength.
all her money, to the neglect Of the cuti-
yation of her mind and heart, and to the
neglect of the claims of others or helpful
ness, sacrifices the higher to the lower
beauty.
Her fault is not the love of beauty, but
loving the wrong and inferior kind. In
fine, girls, you may try yourselves by this
standard You love dress too much when
you care more for your outward adornings
than for your inward disposition when
it afflicts you more TO have torn your dress
than to have lost your temper when you
are more troubled by an ill-6tting gown
than by neglected duty when you are
less concerned at having made an unjust
comment, or spread scandalous report,
than at having worn passe bonnet /; when
you are less troubled at the thought of
being at the last great feast without the
wedding garment, than at being found at
the party tonight in the fashion of last
year. No Christian woman, as [ view it.
ought to give such attention to her dress
as to allow it to take up all of three very
important things-namely, all her time,
all her strength, all her money. Whoever
does this, lives not the life of Christian,
but that of Pagan; worships not at the
Christian altar of our Lord Jesus, but at
the shine of the lower Venus of Corinth
and Rome.-Arthur'S Home Magazine

William Reynolds, of Peoria. Illinois,
is well known as an enthuiastic worker in
the Sabbath School cause. He is,perhaps,
better known than any other man in the
State, and we give the following story as
he tells it, as near as we remember. The
main facts are all absolutely true. He was
in the southern part of the State last week
organizing Sunday schools, when he en-
countered a hardshell Baptist neighbor-

against them. On the Sabbath designated

RigOr for YOung Life.

How much the fond friends of young
folks need this home word from Dr. Bel
lows
Life is an earnest battle 1t is no trife
to have nature fearfully and wonderfully
made-strong desires that must be regu-
lated, enormous exposures that must be
avoided, fatal proclivities that must be re-
sisted and overcome. And therefore it is
that we so much need that early training,
that early discipline which it is hard to see
whether parents and governors are more
slow to apply or children and youth more
reluctant to receive. Let the fault lie
where it will, it is a fatal fault Success,
usefulness, virtue, happiness, peace, saliva
ton, heaven-all depend upon our enter
inc life fity armad IN sr.i+-hl-> ------' r.
ness with proper convictions as to what
the exposures, dangers and temptations of
body and soul are, and with such settled
rules, habits and principles, such trained
conscience, such an established reverence
for God and duty, as must deprive the
world of all its power to deceive and be-
tray.
Those of US who are parents should re-
member that it is we who put the harness
ou Jul 1hSS NOu llGuI-
selves. 1t is we then who are mainly res
ponsible for its want of strength, its loose
ill6ting character. In our tenderness we
refuse to draw the buckles where they will
hold. and if the shoulder chafes or red lens
ever so little with the strap, we are the
first to remove it. We are sorry to think
that the young bosom must contract its in
spirations beneath so sturdy a coat. W
lift the sandals and plead for the feet that
are to press their rough seams but where
are our recollections that we do not think
of the sharpness of the spear that that
heavy eorselet Is to resist, the weight of
the battle-axe that leather head piece is
to annul. the roughness of the road those
stout shoes are to make smooth Is it
not because of the tenderness of the flesh
that we need our leathern mail, and are
we to dread our armor more than our enc
my? ? That is the miscalculation Of life
the sacrifice of our lifelong safety to our
immediate convenience; of our whole use
fulness and honor and triumph as men and
women to our short season OF careless, self
indulgent, negligent happiness, and freedom
from self-imposed restraint as boys and
girls, as young men and maidens.
