Origin Of Fashions.

Most Of the fashions owe
their origin in an attempt to
give prominence to the strong
point or hide the weak point of
a king or qneen. Thus powder
came into vogue to conceal a
queens gray hair, and large
peruques because a king was
bald. We learn, however, from
a Belgian paper that the GUS
tom of ladies exhibiting their
busts in all the beauty of ma
ture has a far more romantic
origin. In a battle in which
the French were engaged (all
dates, we may mention, are re-
served,) their ranks were bro
ken and they were routed
When they ret eated their wo-
men barred their breasts and
entreated them to pierce them
rather than permit them to fall
into the hands of the enemy
This was too much for the gal
liant Gauls. Nerved with fresh
courage, they turned, renewed
the combat and were victorious.
From that hour French women
have on festal occasions always
been accustomed to wear their
dress low. In fact, whensEyou
see one who appears'.,to have
forgotten the upper part of her
dress, it is. no proof of indelica-
cy, but simply an Indication Of
the power of national senti.
ment. This satisfactorily ex-
plains what many ignorant
people have taken for impor.
priety. We liveaud learn.

Single and Married.

The bachelor is accustomed
to consider himself, and to i'm
aglne that others consider him
a gay young fellow, till star
tied from the fond delusien by
1inding that the real young
men Of his neighborhood are
the schoolboys of ten years
ago, and that, without know
ing it, he has become a steady
gated old bachelor. With the
discovery comes a despair. His
heart is broken, at the loss of
his youth; his pride and beauty
are gone; and he finds himself
seeking for comforts and SYM
pathy, without knowing where
to find them. This is the crisis
Of his life. If he is good ma
tured, kindly and companiona-
bic, the world will forgive him,
and pension him, reserve a
chair for him, open its doors to
him, show him its children, and
make a pleasant old stick OF
him. If be be selfish and un-
sympathetic, the world outlaws
him, and forces him to seek in
vile associations The compan-
ionship he coyets. Thus a
coarse profligacy, or a condi-
ton of selfish and miserable
isolation is the usual end of
bachelorism. Marriage has its
trials and hardships; but they
are, after all, the discipline that
a man needs to develop his
manhood into a gentle, tender,
sympathetic and loving nature.
"A wife alone can make a man
perfect. She refines and soft
ems the ragged coarseness in
him; she teaches him to use his
strength and courage for the
protection of the timid and
weak; she teaches him to live
and labor for Others as we'll as
himself; she anchors him to one
spot, and draws ont those rich
affections, attachments and
tastes that cluster round home,
and which home alone can en-
gender; aud her quick intui-
tons preserve him from dan
gerous enterprises, and direct
and aid him in judicious
schemes, whose results his own
sagacity cannot foresce, All
happily married men lose a
part of their masculine charac-
ter: and become. in many re-
spects womanly-not by i'm
billing the weakness, bat by
contracting the graces of their
wives. They grow more eau
tious, and at the same time
more stern-more serious, and
yet more cheerful, more
thoughtful of trif1es, and still
more bent on great and high
objects.-St. Louis Gazette.

INFLUENCE OF MODERATE
DRINKNG.-The Buffalo Chris
tian Advocate contains the fol-
lowing:
Horace Greely says a man
may drink moderately but
steadily all his life, with no ap-
parent harm to himself, but his
daughters become nervous
wrecks, his sons epileptics, lib
ertines or incurable drunkards,
the hereditary tendency to
crime having its pathology and
UNMARRIED laws, precisely as
scfofula, consumption or any
other purely physical disease,
These are stale truths 10 medi-
cal men, but the majority of
parents, even those of average
intelligence, are either ignorant
or wickedly regardless Of them.

MIR. Gladstone on Female
Suffrage.

Mr.. Gladstone, at the recent
Lord Mayors banquet, in pro-
posing the health of the Lady
Mayoress, said:
Now, passing from Mars to
address myself to a goddess
whom my classical hearers
will have no difficulty in recog-
nizing. l have much pleasure
in proposing "The Health of
the Lady Mayoress." [Cheers.
This is a theme on which it is
perfectly unnecessary for me to
descant.
| would only make one OBJ
servation upon it, and that is
that l cannot imagine any rea.
son why a gentleman should
be put forward to return thanks
for the ladies, because, although
it is usual for person to return
thanks for the class he repre-
sents, it is generally some
member of that class who does
so. / am the more strengthen
ed in this when l see what is
occurring. The ladies in Eng
':tnd and America are agitat-
ing for the suffrage. That
they will obtain it who can
doubt, as they attain every
thing they set thoir hearts
upon when they obtain the
suffrage who can expect that
they will stop there? On what
principle is a woman to vote
for a member of Parliament
and be herself excluded from a
seat in it7
That is the second step; and
when she has arrived at being
a member of Parliament there
is still third step. 1t would
be impossible to have a mixed
Parliament. Gentlemen could
never, in public any more than
in private affairsr carry on a
successful debate with the Ia
dies, so that gentlemen must
evacuate the House of Com
mons and leave the ladies to
manage public affairs. If this
is proper view to take of the
of the destiny of the fair sex, l
feel | am taking most unwar-
rentable liberty in venturing
to speak for them on this occa-
sion. In sitting down there
fore, l humbly beg their par
don. Loud cheers.]

The Great Lesson.

Ihe first lesson ayoung man
should learn is that he knows
nothing. The earlier and the
more thoroughly this is learned
the better. A home-bred youth
growing up IN the light of pa
rentel admiration, with every
thing to foster his vanity and
self-esteem, is surprised to find,
and often unwilling to ac-
knowledge, the superiority of
people. But he is compelled
to learn his own insignificance;
his airs are ridiculed, his blum
ders are exposed, his wishes
disregarded, and he is made to
cut a sorry figure, until his
self-conceit is abashed and he
keenly feels that he knows
nothing.
When a young man has
thoroughly comprehended the
fact that he knows nothing, and
that intrinsicaliy he is but of
little value. the next lesson is
that the world cares nothing
about him. He is the subject
OF no mans overwhelming ad-
miration; neither petted by the
one sex nor envied by the 9TH
er, he has TO take care of him
self. He will not be noticed
until he becomes noticeable; he
will not become noticeable un-
til he does something to prove
that he is some Use TO society.
No recommendation or inrro-
duction will give him this or
ought 10 give him this; he
must do something to be rec
ognized as somebody.
The next lesson is that of pa
tience. A man must learn to-
wait as we'll as to work, and to
be content with those means of
advancement in life which he
may use with integrity and
honor. Patience is one of the
most difficult lessons to learn.
1t Is natural for the mind to
look for immediateresults.
Let this, then be understood
at starting; that the patient
conquest of difficulties which
rise in the regular and legiti-
mate channels of business en-
terprise is not only essential in
securing the success which 2
young man seeks in life, but
essential also to that prepara-
ton of the mind requisite for
the enjoyment Of success, and
retaining it when gained. II
is the the general rule in all
the world and in all time, that
unearned success is q curse.
