WHAT OUR PRoMENADEs REvEAL.-To a thinking
mind nothing is more repulsive than gaudiness
nothing more despicable than tawdrlness, and, yet
of late years both have walked hand-n-hand, and

the days of the Roman Empire the people thereof
We'd with each other in the display OF that with
which nature had blessed and favored them Styles
fashions, and modstes were things unknown and
and the shears were never used thereon except as
means OF punishment Wearng-apparel was a thing
of secondary consideration; but with the steady in
crease of years these things changed and soon the
idle and iliterate sovereigns OF Europe, seeking for
means to dispose of the rapidly accommodating wealth
in their Golfers, chose to invest it in useless and
hmsy apparel. Leading this class were the females
But it was left to the women OF this, the nineteenth
century, period rendered llustrlouS for the rapid
and glorious strides OF science and art, TO gain the
sublmity of righteousness in dress.
Our grandmcthers, and the mothers of some OF US,

dry goods but only to secure the most handsome
and endurable fabrics that the looms of the manu-
facturer could produce and once having secured
these she rested satisfied. But the majority OF the
women of the present day pursue directly the oppo-
site course. Now the sole aim appears to be to cast
aside natures beautifcatiOns, and establish in their
place something more attractive by means of a
handsome plumage, yet its flesh is worthless. So
the plumage of woman of the period may be entic-

OF the passers-by on Chestnut street. We remember
the time, and it is not far back, that the distinguish
ing mark between the pure and the impure was the
style of dressing but we must confess that from
what we have seen it would puzzle a Solomon now
to Judge. 1t has long been acceded that the woman
who lives by sin chooses that part principally to sati
ate an overweening desire for display In this the
members Of her sex who occupy the higher sphere
are rapidly following and the consequence is that,
ike mixing milk and water, the purity Of both is de-
stroyed and fair resemblance OF each is all that is
left For today in nine cases out of ten the wife is
no more distinguishabe from the mistress than the
mistress is from the wife, so far as deter

Nor is this all the evil does not stop here for the
pernicious example OF the elders pervades the minds
of the younger and being by nature apt the seeds,
that may perhaps lead to depravty soon take root.
We ask in all candor, is ii not time for the women,
wives and mothers OF the present day to stop in
this their sinful career, and reflect? Think Of the
evil Misunderstanding example you are setting think
of what you are subjecting yourselves and your
children to, independent of physical ailments and
deformities; think how your hearts would throb,
your pulses beat and your blood tingle were you tie
hear the remarks OF those pests OF the world unfor
tunately created in Gods own image and likeness,
STYLED men, who rejoice in the application OF the
term bldse; think how your whole nature would
revolt at being placed in the same category with the
harlot who perchance sits beside you in some public
place! for we can assure you that your gaudiness
and tawdriness lay you open to just such compari-
son; and, thus thinking, resolve to change your
avenues to HE itself away in relieving the miseres OF
the poor during the coming winter.

-Chesnut street will in short time resemble
Joseph's coat so far as patent pavements are con-
cerned,
The people OF Manayunk are in favor OF the
adoption of the fifteenth amendment.
Beware of fancifully-colored candies; in ma

-The curse of the world-rum--s fast gaining a

The iron casting crowning some of our street

Coke is scarce.
A WHOLESALE ARREsT-ALL ABOUT CoAT-Last
night there was ball at the American Mechanics
Hail, Fourth and George streets. Among the at
tendants there were just forty-two young fellows,
who came all the way from Manayunk. All things
went along merrlly until two o'clock this morning,
when one of the "fellers' missed his oyercoat. He
secured the services OF PoliceSergeant Heiss, who
made an EFFORT to discover who the thief was. The
crowd was 'mum" as mice and the Sergeant told
them that the culprit must be produced. However,
these Manayunkers wouldn't think OF doing such
thing to "squea" one OF their number, and seve-
raj OF them quietly told the Sergeant to go to far
hotter place than that in which he was. He waited
