Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON is out
fat.footed in favor of women wearing mems
dress. She Ssyss "The true idea is for the
sexes to dress as nearly alike as possible.
We have seen several ladies dressed precise>
ly like gentlemen, who appeared far more
elegant and graceful than any real man we
ever saw. A young lady in Fifth avenue
dressed in male costume for years, and trav>
eled all over Europe and this country. She
says it would have been impossible to have
seen and known as much of woman's w in
woman's attire and to have felt the in6epen.
dence and security she did, had her sex been
proclaimed before all Israel and the sun.
There are many good reasons for adopting
male costume: First, it is the most cOnven.
lent dress that can be invented second, in
it woman could secure equal wages with man
for the same work; third, q coHcealment of
sex would protect our young girls from those
terrible outrages from brutal men reported in
all our daily papers," Miss Olive Logan,
per contra, objects in toto to the proposed
reform, and declares there are physiological
reasons why woman must always wear the
skirt.

LIGHT BEYOND.

Beyond the stars that shine in golden glory,
Beyond the calm, sweet moon,
Up the bright ladder saints have trod before thee,
Soul thou shall venture soon.
Secure with Him who sees thy heart.sick yearning,
Safe in His arms of love,
Thou shall change the midnight for morning
And thy fair home ABOVE.
Obi tits sweet to watch the worlds night wearing,
The Sabbath morn come on
And sweet it we're the vineyard labor sharing
Sweet the labor done.
All finished ! all the conflict and the sorrow,
Earth's dream of anguish o'eri
Deathless there dawns for thee nightless morrow
On Eden's blissful shore.
Patience then, patience soon the pang Of dying
Shall all forgotten be,
And thou, through rolling spheres rejoicing flying
Beyond the waveless sea,
Shall know hereafter where the Lord doth lead
thee,
His darkest dealings trace;
And by those fountains where His love will feed
thee,
Behold him face to face

human FOR LAGER BEER.

song and 9 cheer for the lager beer,
A song for the nectar brown,
Where joy>spirits hide 10 the sparkling tide,
Or dance through its snow.Whlte crown.
Let others pine for their rPsy wine,
Or whiskey's frey cheer;
Be it ours to quaf the foaming drsugtt
of glorious lager beer.
Round let il pass with the jingling glass,
Round with . rousiog cheer;
Hurrah for the friend true to the end,
Hurrah for lager beer.
They may boast Of joys mid the din and noise
OF 4 corner grocery bar,
Where the gAsl'ght' glare through the poisoned
Wan as Acsouded star
But the JOY for me is garden free,
And the smile of q Frauleia dear,
Where the bosom thrills aud the soft eye fills
With love and lager beer.
Buta maiden's smile oft proves a vile
For the wreck of the hopeful heart
And a maiden's kiss may be poisoned bliss,
wound from a fatal dart
While the joys that mass in the foaming glass
But grow with age more dear,
And no foul eclipse shades the happy lips
From the kiss Of the lager beer.
Let college dons, and learned drones
Rejoice in their musty lore,
And with laden looks o'er their dreary books
Through the merry sunlight pore;
But the sages true are the generous few
Who drink from the fountain clear,
Where truth resides and wisdom hides,
In vel Of lager beer.
Is your spirit tried by an upstart prids2
Has loves sweet pledge deceived2
Have the hopes that shone, in darkness gone7
Or friends by falsehood grieved2 e.
Up with the glass the shadows pass,
Your eye is bright aud clear;
fount of health, a mine Of wealth,
Is glorious lager beer.
Then here's to the stream with the amber CLEAN,
To the king with tie silver Crowd
To the sparkling mine of joy divine
Here's to the lager brownl
While the toiling crowd raise their glasses proud
To join in the lusty cheer,
Let it sound on high to the echoing sky,
Hurrah for lager beer |
Round let it pass with the jingling glass,
Round with a rousing cheer;
Hurrah for the friend true. to the end,
Hurrah for lager beer.

A FACT WORTH KNowING.-It may not
be generally known that when person is
drowning, if he is taken by the arms from
behind, between the elbows and shoulders,
be cannot touch the person attempting to
save him, and whatever struggles be may
make will only assist the person holding him
10 keeping his head above water. A good
swimmer can thus keep a man above water
for an hour. If seized anywhere else, the
probability is that be will clutch the swim
mer, and as is often the case, both will be
drowned.

GENTLE FoLKs.-A book on Good So.

GENTLE FoLKs.-A book on Good So
ciety" has just been published in England
by Countess, in which after quoting Ruskin
and Emerson on what constitutes gentleman,
she goes on to give her own sensible reAec-
tions on the subject She says. "Manner
is only to be defined by serious of negations.
The wel-bred person has no manner. The
well-bred person is distinguished from the
ill-bred person, not by what be does, but by
what he leaves undone. The we'll bred
person Just differs from the i'll bred person in
that he knows what he ought not to do. The
very best breeding consists chieAyi in the ut.
most unobtrusiveness. To be well bred and
well maunerd, in short, is to keep down the
ego upon every occasion; to control every ex.
preston of strong feling; to be of noiseless
bearing and gentle speech; to abstain from
all that may hurt the feelings or prejudices
of others; to make small sacrifices without
seeming to make them; in a word, to re>
member that in society one lives for others
and not for oneself But politeness is not like
a robe of State, to be worn on y on occasions
of ceremony. In no place do the laws of
etiquette bear more gratifying results than in
the home circle, where, stripped of their mere
formaity, tempered with love, and fostered
by all kindly impulses. they improve the
character aud bear their choicest frnits, A
true gentlewoman will show as much courtesy,
and observe all the little duties Of politeness
as unfallingly, towards her parents, husband
and family as towards the greatest strangers.
A true gentleman will never forget that, if
he is bound TO exercise courtesy and kindness
in his intercourse with the world, be is doub
ly bound to do so in his intercourse with
those who depend upon him for advice, pro-
lection and example But to pass to the
practical suggestions of the Countess, in
which, discarding all mere distractions and
glittering generalities, she sets herself to a
definite statement Of what lady or gentle>
man may or may pot do. Gentlemen should
avoid scandal, puns, slang, proverbs, argus
ment, fattery, religious controversy in gen.
eral conversation ; they ought not, in the
presence of ladies, to smoke, to look glum, to
use classical quotations, to tell anecdotes or
sing comic songs.

CONFEDERATE ARCHIVES. We under.
stand that the archives of the Confederate
Government are abont to be thrown open to
the public under certain restrictions. They
have heretofore been under control of the
War Department, and all applications to ex @.
amiue them have been refused. This deter
mination on the part of President Grant will
contribute something to the public curiosity,
aud will add, we trust, more interest, if not
more truth, to works being issued from day
TO day connected with the late war.

TEMPER AND THE VoIcE.-The influence
of temper upon the tone deserves much con-
sideration. Habits of querulousuess or ILL.,
nature will communicate catike quality to
:he singing, as infallibly as they give quali-
ty to the speaking voice. That there really
exist amiable tones is not an unfounded
opinion. In the voice there is no deception;
it is to many, the index Of the mind, deuotN
ing moral qualities aud it may be remark
ed that the low, soft tones of gentle and
amiable beings, whatever their musical en-,
doWments, may seldom fail to please; be-
sides which, the singing of ladies indicates
the cultivation of their taste generally, and
the establishment of their minds.

SAvE.-Save something, no matter how
little it may be, always save something,
Never turn away your head from small saw
ings; they are the foundation of all great
snes A penny is not much. Many man
would rather throw away penny than pick
it up, if it lay before him. Yet penny a
DAY is nearly eight dollars year, eight dol
hrs is the interest of between one and two
hundred dollars capital. Waste not, want

Immediately presented his two female friends

and each took hand aud settled themselves
for talk over matters and things. Mr.. Sum-
ner, did not seem, however, to appreciate
their attention, and with the best grace he
could command, withdrew his hands, aud,
turning bis back, resumed the conversation
which had been interrupted. The party
