Uptown FrivOlity.

Eli Perkins, the humorous CORES
pendent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, thus holds forth in recent
issue:
There re dozen places uptown
kept by uncertain, but smart matrons,
where hair-dyeing and enameling are
done to great many good ladies.
These women generally have their en-
amel department in the rear of milE-
merry department or some hair shop.
They are women traps, An unsuspect-
ing married lady went into ono of these
places the other day and got caught.
:'Ah have you heard OF my new pre-
paration for the complexion Z" com
menced the woman.
"No, and don't care to know about
it, replied the lady.
"But it's so harmless Mrs /. and
Mrs. G. have used it, and they say it is
delightful. Now let me just try it on
one of your hands--just little !"
"No, don't want it," continued tho
lady.
But let me try one finger. You
can then see how it will look--see how
it will work, and sec that it dont ruff
the skin and grow black"
So the lady relented, partly out OF
curiosity, and with the thought that
there might be some virtue in it after
all.
The woman applied the enamel to
the finger, then to the hand. 1t WAS
beautiful. The lady went home de-
lighted. She looked at her hand for
several days. 1t was smooth and vel
vety-then in fatal moment she re-
turned to the destroyer and had her
face enameled. 1t lasted for two weeks.
Everybody saw it. Her friends were
Disguised, but they said nothing New
and doubtful friends praised her beauty
and she-was lost! Her face became
rough, sallow and sickly. She cannot
wash. The bath turns the enamel
black. Her husband is disgusted, she
is melancholy, and the family is broken
up.

Return to Simplicity.

The Methodist State Convention late
ly in session at Syracuse, sounded n
note of warning on the subject of the
tendency of the church toward worldly
mlndedness, especially in the aesthetic
sense, which is we'll worth the consid-
Grafton of all concerned. The Conven-
ton, among other things, declared that
while the church edifces Of the denon-
ination should, in their capacity, con-
venience and style of architecture, fair
ly represent tho ability Of the Church,
and the culture of the age in art and
aesthetics, care should be taken not to
not to sacrifice Christian propriety to
worldly show; that in other words,
gaudy display should he avoided as in.

has always constituted one of the chief
charms and main attractions Of Meth
odism. A resolution was also adopted
that return to primitive Methodistic
usage III congregational singing i, nm

and evangelical power Of Methodism.

of the church, is used for the opening
of the mails. At tho rear of the dis
trlbuting department, on the left, was
the pastors study. This will be used
for the cancellation of stamps on news
papers. The vestibule of the auditori-
UNI is reached from the entrance by two
flights of stairs. The partition has
been removed, throwing the vestibule
and auditorium together, thus materi-
ally increasing the space. just within
the line of the old partition is semi
circular counter, where the private
boxes and drawers are located. A little
to the left of the center is the whole
sale stamp department. At the extreme
master, that of the Postmaster being
directly behind it. The general deliv-
cry is conveniently located. The top of
the counter is of black walnut, highly
polished. The gallery. which ex-
tends on three sides of the building,
has been appropriated TO the uses of
the carriers, of whom there are one
hundred and ten-the old number.
The front of the gallery is topped with
black walnut, upon which has been
placed their cases, extending the entire
length Another row Cf cases is to ex-
tend around the gallery, next to the
wall, used for the same purposes.
To increase the space, which is at
best somewhat limited, new building
of two stories and basement, is to be
erected in the rear, extending back to
the alley.
The Office at the church will doubt
less continue until 1875 or 1878, as it is
not thought probable that the new Gov
eminent building will be ready for oc-
cupancy before that time.

Hang Tn the Baby's Stocking.

Hang up the baby's stocking;
Be sure you don't forget
The dear little dimpled darling!
She ne'er saw Christmas vet;
But I've told her al about it,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands 1t,
She looked 81 funny and wise.
Dear What tiny stocking!
II doesn't take much TO hold
such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold.
But then for the babys Christmas
It will never do at all:
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small
know what well get for the baby
I've thought Of the very best plan
I'll borrow u stocking of GrandIua,-
The longest that ever L can;
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother,
RIGHT here in the corner, 50,
And write letter To Santa,
And fasten 1t on to the toe.
Write, "This is the bahy's stocking
That hangs in the corner here;
You have never seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year:
But she's just the blessedest baby
Aud now, before you so.
Just cram h.r stocking with goodies,
From tho top clean down to the toe.

Petition Against Woman Suffrage.

Senator Buckingham presented in
the Senate, on Thursday, q memorial
against woman suffrage, and said more
than ten thousand of the most refined
and respectable women IN the country
have signifed to Congress their unwil-
lineness to have the responsibilities of
suffrage forced upon them. This pro-
test contains the names of many of the
most respected, talented and influential
women of the country. Unlocking over
the list, find that l know many Of
them. They are not manly women, but
women of good sense, and their judg-
ment is entitled to consideration They
don't say anything about the abstract
rights of suffrage, but they say that
having already their full share of the
burdens and responsibilities of life,
they fear that others more bold than
they may succeed in having imposed
upon them other burdens and respon-
sibilities unsuited to them, and there
fore they ask Congress to protect them
from these dangers. They say that
the extension of suffrage to them will
be adverse to the interests of working
women; that it will introduce fruitful
element of discord into the existing
marriage relation, and that it Will be
fraught with danger to the general good
order of the country | sympathize

can arise by the extension of suffrage

Severe Weather Out West---lntense
Suffering from Cold.

The Abilene (kansas) Chronicle has
information that the fall migration IN
to the Solomon Valley Is unprecedented.
Many families arrived just before tho
late storm, aud the suffering among
them is terrible. Having no houses,
they are compelled to live in their
moving wagons" and the suffering
among the women and childred partic.
ularly, is very severe. To add to tho
hardship Of the situation, the people
are almost entirely destitute of food;
many Of them have scarcely tasted a
mouthful of bread since reaching the
Valley. They are trying to subsist
mostly upon such game as they may DO
able to secure. This institution Of af-
fairs exists from Mitchell County
northward, up both branches of the
river, A great many animals have per-
ished in the valley in consequence OF
the storm, and several persons were
frozen to death. People were totally
unprepared for cold weather, not anti
cipating that it would set in until some
time in December.
The same paper OF the same date, in
another article, says the weather con
tinues cold, and many cattle are dying
for want of shelter and feed. Theidea
Of winter stock without hay is all well

cd with snow, but the attempt to carry

winter, on the range, 10 n costly expert

cattle are dying up the Solomon Valley.
Our informant says that he knows OF
one heard of 900 head, out of which
760 have persisted within the last few
days They are probably 10000 head
in the Valley, and not hay sufficient to
winter 10000 The Oldest inhabitats

Is unprecedented, 80 early in the sea-
son, in the history OF the State. The
