The Expenses of Matrimony.

A very sensible communication in the
Washington Republican on the subject OF the
social evil" suggests that one cause OF its IN
crease is that "thc expenses Of wife" her
toilet and her domestic appointments place
matrimony beyond the reach of great numbers
of young men.
The writer appeals to those ladies who lead
and mould society to take action in the reform
of female dress. The writer says:
by concerted action they can, if they have
the will, and will make the effort, do much to
shape female public opinion and tastes, and in
itiate measures to reform fashionable dress
maintain the broad ground that the fashions
for expensive dress, though luxury in which
the wealthier classes have legal right to in
dulge, is the principal and primary modern
cause Of the fall oftheir sisters.
al am of opinion that if these lady reform
orss, as suggested, whose characters would en-
able them to dress inexpensivoly without de-
traction to themselves in any respect would
Systematically influence their associates to
simplify and reduce the cxpensiveness OF dress,
they would do more to lessen crime and power
ty than all other measures now in vogue "A
reform could be thus instituted by American
women at the seat of the Government regard
less of Partisan or other foreign fashions, thai
must ennoble and Christianizc our nationality
and in its ultimate practical results
save large sisterhood from dishonor.
"Ladies, you should so conduct and maxi
your fashions as will permit honorable mar
riage and the means of supporting famil,
possible. BY doing SO you will show Chris
tian character and true charity. But other
wise, ask you to consider who is most respon
sibe for American depravity?"

A Touching Obituary.

A disconsolate husband thus bewails the loss
Of his wife, and apostrophizes her memory;
Thus my wife died. No more viii those
loving hands pull off my boots and part of my
back hair, as only true wife can. Nor will
those willing feet replenish the coal hod and

tempestuous storms of winter, and gladly hie

so artlessly. Her memory is embalmed in my

Look Before You Kick.

A minister to one of the orthodox churches,
while on his way to preach funeral sermon
in the country, called to sec one of his mem
bcrs, an old widow lady, who lived near the
read he was travelling. The old lady had just
been making sausages, and she felt proud of
them-thcy were so plump, round and sweet.
OF course she insisted on her minister taking
some of the links home to his family. lie OBJ
;ected on account of not having his portman-
teau with him. This objection was soon over
ruled, and the old lady, after wrapping them
in rag, carefully placed bundle in either
pocket of the preachers capaciOus great coat.
Thus equipped, he started for the funeral.
While attending the solemn duties Of the
grave, some hungry dogs scented the sansa-
ges and were not long in tracking them to the
pockets Of the good mans overcoat Ofcourse
it was an annoyance he was several times IN
der the necessity Of kicking these whelps
away. The obsequies at the grave being COM
pleted. the minister and congregation repaired

Masks.

If we could read others hearts, we should be
kinder to each other. If we knew the woes,
and bitterness, and physical annoyanccs Of our
neighbors we should make allowances for them
which we do not now. We go about masked,
uttering stereotypcd sentiments, hiding our
heart-pangs and headaches as carefully as VIC
can and yet VIC wonder that others DO not
discover them by intuition. We so conceal
our best feelings from the light; we do not
so conceal our resentments and our dislikos, OF
which We are prone to be proud. Often two
people sit close together with :" love you
in either heart, and neither Of them knows Il.
Each thinks, 4" could be fond but what uso
is there Of wasting fondncss on ono who does
not care for itP" and 50 they part. and 50
their ways alone. Life is a masquerade, at
which few unmask, even 70 their very dearest
friends.

Too TRUE.-A few friends viii 60 and bury
US, affection will rear a stone and plant few
flowers over our grave, in brief period the
little hillock will be suhoothed down, and the
stone will fall, and neither stranger nor friend
will be concerned to ask which one of the for
gotten millions of the earth was buried there.
Every vestigc that we ever lived upon the
earth will have vanished away. All the little
memorials of our remembrance-the lock Of
hair encased in gold, or the portrait that hung
in our dwelling, will cease to have the slight
est interest to any living being.
