Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than all their
toll and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a
greater transgression Of the laws of wo-
man s nature, a greater injury to her ply
steal and mental constitution, than the lard
ship Of poverty and neglect. The slave
woman at her task will live and grow old,
and see two or three generations of her mis-
tresses fall away. The washer-woman with
her scanty meal, and with scarcely one ray
of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will live
till her fashionable sisters are all extinct. -
The kitchen maid is hearty and strong,
when her lady has to be nursed Ike poor
sick baby.
1t is a sad truth that fashion -pampered
women are almost worthless for all GOOD
ends of life. They have but little force of
character, they have still less power of NOR
al will, and quite as little physical energy.
TAey live for no great purpose in life; they
accomplish no great ends They are dolls
formed in the hands Of fashionable milliners,
dressmakers and servants, to be dressed and
fed to order. Ii they rear children, ser
wants and purses do all, save to conceive
and give them birth. They cannot give
them the care and food that nature designed,
and when reared, what are they do they
eveT amount to but weaker scions of the old
stock ! Vino even heard of q fashionable
woman's chill exhibiting any virtue or pow
er Of mind for which it became eminent p
Read the biographies of our great and good
men and women Not one of them had a
fashionable mother.

Attachment to Newspapers.

A strong attachment Of subscribers to
we'll conducted newspapers is fully confirm
ed by publishers ''Stop my paper" words
of dread to beginners in business, lose their
terror after paper has been esta blished for
a term of years. So long as paper pur-
sues Just, honorable and judicious course,
meeting the wants of its customers in all
respects. the ties Of friendship between the
subscribers and the paper are as hard to
break by an outside third party as the links
which bind old friends in business or social
life. Occasional defects and errors in a
newspaper ara overlooked by those who
have become attached to it through its peru.
sal for years. They sometimes become dis
satisfied with it on account Of something
which had slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking it; but the absence of the fam'l-
lar sheet at their homes or Office for few
weeks, becomes an insupportable depriva-
ton, and they hasten to take it again, and
possibly apologize for having it stopped -
This we may believe to be the common ex-
perlence in the history of all established pa
pers. No friendship on earth is more con-
slant than that contracted by the reader for
a journal witch makes an honest end earn
est effort to merit his continued support
Hence. the newspaper which is conscienti-
ously conducted becomes favorite in the
family.

AdrOitly Hit.

A correspondent of the Herald and Pres
byter writing from Minnesota, tells the fol-
lowing:
II have picked up little story which 1
think too good reproof for disturbers of
the peace in churches, to be lost. A presi-
ding elder Of the United Brethren Church
was preaching in the SEINE neighborhood,
and was much annoyed by persons talking
and laughing, He paused, looked at the
disturbers, and said, Il am always afraid to
reprove those who misbehave in church. In
the early part of my ministry I made a
great mistake. AS was preaching, young
man who sat just before me was constantly
laughing, talking and making uncouth
grimaces. [ paused and administered Sc
we're rebuke.' After the close of the SER
vice one of the official members came and
said to me. Brother, you made great
mistake" "1hat young man whom you
reproved is an IDIOT" Since then I have
always been afraid to reprove those who
misbehave in church, lest should repeat
the mistake. and reprove another ''idiot"
During the rest of the service at least, there
was good order

Poetry.
Rome Wasn't Built in a Day.
BY ALICE CARY.

d. ~AhAO6 On"A'
The boy who does a stroke and stops,
Will meier a great man be;
IT'S the aggregate of single drops
That makes the sea the sea.
The mountain was not at its birth
A mountain, so to speak
The little atoms of sand and earth
Have made its peak peak.
Not all at once the morning streams
The gold above the gray;
IT'S thousand little yellow CLEANS
That makes the day the day.
Not from the snow drift May awakes
In puppies reds and greens;
Springs whole bright retinue it takes
To make her queen of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from branch tn root;
And blossoms bloom and fall withal.
Before the fruit is fruit.
The farmer needs must SOW and till,
And wait the wheaton bread,
Then cradle, thresh and go to mill,
Before the bread is bread.
Swift heel may get the early shout,
But spite of all the din,
1t is the patient holding out
That makes the winner win.
Make this your motto then, at start,
Twill help to smooth the way,
And ready up both hand and heart

simon,s wife's Mother.

A countryman was in New York on an
August Sunday, and crossed the Brooklyn
ferry in the morning, for the purpose OF
hearing Beecher. But 10, the Plymouth
pulpit was occupied by a stranger, who de-

was away taking his vacation.
In the afternoon the man sought to con-

for the second time, the sermon from the
text: ''And behold Simon's wife's mother
lay sick of fever" and went out of the
sacred place very much discouraged. Mr.
Chaplin was taking his summer vacation.
In the evening the man. thinking to re-
deem in measure the defeat of the day,
accepted choice sitting in the Reformed
Dutch church, for the sake Of hearing the
genial, eloquent and scholarly Bethune.-
But his heart quite broke when the evil
spirit that had possessed him all day got up
and gave out hymn. And when the text
was announced, ''And behold Simon wife's
mother lay sick of fever" the party who
knew all sbout the subject, rushed wildly
from the overdose, and ran to his hotel
DR.. Bethuno was taking his summer vaca-
ton.
The next morning the man took the tirst
train for home, and stepping into the car
there was his ministerial friend Of the day
before with his sermon under his arm. The
New York bells were ringing fire alarm,
and says the minister to his lay brother,

A good instance of ''sharp practice" is
that Of man in Ohio, who was acquitted
of murder on plea Of insanity. He had
secured his lawyers by giving them mort
gage on his farm, but now repudiates The
mortgage on the ground that he was insane
when he made it, according to the showing
of these same lawyers.

Duty OF Parents to Teachers.

To secure results in carrying on reforms
and improv ements in society, cooperation is
essential to success. The humblest can ef-
feet in concert, what the highest could not
singly. In the education of youth, parents
and guardians can greatly facilitate the
arduous labors Of teachers. Good govern.
ment in schools is more the result of care
full training at home than of any efforts OF
the teacher. Children who behave we'll at
home will generally deport themselves we'll
abroad. Children should be taught at
at home respect for their teachers They
should be instructed that it is their duty to
tie orderly, we'll behaved, and prompt to
obey what trey are commanded to perform.
Ii this be- understood, the task of the teach
er is materially lightened. If the pupil be
taught that the rules Of the school must be
implicitly complied with, and if the parents
insist upon it that the child shall obey all
reasonable demands made upon him by the
teacher, then the pupil will be properly
trained, and fitted to receive instruction. =
Parents are apt to encourage their children
in tale bearing and criticism on the conduct
and ability Of their instructors. They are
apt to take to the views of their children
rather than their own.
