Does Her Own Work.

Does she? It is disgrace to her? Is
she less true woman. less worthy
than she who sits in silks and satins
and is vain OF fingers which never
knew any work? We heard this sheer a
few days ago, and the tone in which it was
uttered betokened a narrow selfish. ignoble
mind, better fitted for any place than a
Democratic country, whose institutions rest
on honorable labor as one of our chief
corner stones It evinees false idea of tn e
true basis of society, of true womanhood Of
genuine nobility. 1t showed the detestable
spirit of caste, Of rank whio a certain class
among us arc striving to cherish; caste
whose soul foundation is money, and so the
meanest kind of rank known to civilization.
Mind, manners, morals, all that enter into
the grand character, are of no account with
those social snobs; position in their
stllted ranks is bQught with gold, and each
additional dollar is another round in the
ladder by which elevation is gained.
A matter Of fact, is it more dishonorab!e
for the merchants Wifs to do her own work
than for the merchant to do his for her to
look after her house than for him to look af-
ter his store Or, is Woman fit for nothing
but to be pleased with the feather and pleas
ed with the straw ? 1t seems tie
hight Of ambition in some circles to be or
profess to be, not only "above" work but
even ignorant of how work is to be done;
and if the table is poorly spread, if the
housekeeping is at skies and sevens, the
"help" receives maledlotiona Without, but
the LADY takes none of the RESPONSE
bility upon herself She looks into the
kitchen she knows how bread should be
made or steak broiled? she knows when
the -four is out or the sugar in? Absurd :?
Help" may be bad enough, but what in
terest can the girl in the kitchen feel in
household economy, if the lady in the par
lor has none If the mistress neglects all
domestic duties, will the maid be thorough
conscientious ? VIII the husbands business
go on if he neglects it?-And why should
that # tie vile prosper under her lack of
responsibility?
An aristoeraey of wealth is the most in

yet it is that which many of our citizens,

Editing paper is very pleasant business
If you like it,
If it contains too much political matter,
people won't have it.
If it contains too little, they will not have
it,
If the type is large, it doesn't contain
much reading matter. i.
If the type is small, they can't read it.
If we publish telegraph reports, folks say
they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, they say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for political
effect.
If We have in a few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but little rattle. head
Ii we omit jokes, they say we are an old
fossil.
If we publish original matter, they damn
US FOR not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say that we
are lazy for not writing more and giving
them what they have not read in some other
paper
live give man complimentary notices,
we are censured for being partial.
If we do not, all hands say that we are
a great hog.
If we insert an article which pleases the
ladies: men become jealous
If we attend church, they say it is only
for effect
If we do they denounce US as deceitful
and desperately wicked.
Ii we remain in our office and attend to
business, folks say we are TOO proud to min
gle with other fellows If we 60 out they
say that we do not attend to business.
If we do not pay all bills promptly. folks
say we stole the money.

Poetry.
March ON.

Heavy and thick the atmosphere,
The prospect narrow, dark, severe ...+
Yet a few steps the path is clear,
For those few steps, march on!
Dark rocks that frown as if in wrath,
Like giants ranged across the path
Be sure the gorge some outlet hath,
So trustfully march on!
A deep wide stream that shines like glass,
Flanked by steep banks of slippery grass
There is some bridge by which to pass,
So watchfully march on!
A tempest rafting in the wind,
The sun in thunder-robes enshrined-
Doubt not some shelter soon to find,
Still hopefully march on
The day goes out-the fog upcrowds,
Darkness the face enshrouds-
A voice shall guide thee through the clouds,
So patiently march on!
If duty set you on The way,
You need not fear-you need not stay,
Still faithfully her words obey,
Still loyalty march on!
Let but your aims be high and true,
Your spirit firm, but paten too,t
Titan's strength shall go with you,
Still fearlessly march on!

Do NOT Use CRAcKEDD1sHEs.- Therc is
trouble often attendant upon badly cracked
dishes; such dishes absorb oils Or fats from
the different kinds of food placed upon them
These fats soon decompose in the pores Of
the dish, and no amount of cleansing can
remove the nauscating and poisonous deposit
Such dishes are filthy and unfit for use. The
peculiarly unpleasant taste sometimes noticed
upon pie crust is caused by their being baked
upon old cracked dishes from which the ran
cid fat from previous baking has been alb
sorbed.

tomatoes want water almost as much as

be, watered at least once day The even
