The Homes Reduced by Dress,
Only those women WIN haxe mt III,

Only those women who have not the
money to "dress" can fully appreciate
the crushing weight which society ruth
lessly heaps upon this disability. To
be unable to "dress'' is to be treated
with almost disrespect in the car, the
boat, at the public gathering, the street
and the shop; to be ignored to feel
the shrug Of contempt, the sneer of
levity and the smile of scorn; to be
thrust aside; to be laughed at; to be
uncerimoniously displaced; to be cru
ely driven out Of good society; to
have your heart, your Intelligence,
your thought, your virtue, your char
acter held as nothing against silk; to
be stung; to be outraged; to be pro-
scribed; to be insulted all this and
much more for the lack of money "to
dress"
1t matters not whether this rule of
society is right or wrong, the fact re-
mains to blight and to ruin. Thefash-
ionable lady thinks nothing of paying
SIS for making o dress, made up of
forty yards Of silk, at from 81 to $40
per yard. These are the women who
rule the street, drawing-rooms, thea
ters-dare we SLY churches. After
such the lesser lights take pattern.-
What defense have the girls who work
for from 81 to $40 per week against
this array9
The rich can be fashionable, the poor
cannot be by honest means. The poor
industrious shop girl looks upon even
$50 dresses and they are beyond her
reach. There is $40 gulf between
her and them-between her aud the
respect and attention of society. Her
virtue will span the chasm. She longs
to lift the load of poverty, to receive
the caress Of society, to be freed from
bondage. She sells herself to bell for
,1resa. 4ttaa the first step is taken it
is not long before all useful labor is es-
chewed, and the foul vice made to be
the only service of income. This is nc
picture, but what happens every day
and is plain statement of how the re.
cruits to brothels are made.

ting our American society and demon.

of the rich men who lead society in

u A German poet has lately writ
ten touching poem, in which the hero
is represented as devoured by alliga-

Lake Erie, in America. The heroine
hears of the dreadful fate of her lover
down in the everglades of Florida, near
the banks of Lake Superior, where she
is living, and ruslles down South to
Lake Erie, and lies in wait for that

Honor Your Business.

It is good sign when q man is
proud Of his work or calling. Yet
nothing is more common than to hear
men finding fault constantly with their
particular business, and deeming
themselves unfortunate because fasten-
ed to it by the necessity Of gaining
livelihood. In this men fret, and des-
troy all their comfort in the work or
they change their business, and 60 on
miserably, shifting from one thing to
another till the grave or poorhouse
gives them a fast grip. But while oc-
casionally a man falls in life because
he is not in the place fitted for his
peculiar talent. it happens ten times
oftener that failure results from neg
lect and even contempt of honest bust
ness. .a
A man should put his heart in every
thing that he does. There is no pro-
fession that has not its peculiar cares
and vexations. No man will escape
annoyance by changing his business.
No M ch anical business is very
agree ole. Commerce, in all
its varieties, is effected like all other
pursuits, with its trials, unwelcome
duties, spirit firing necessities. 1t is
the very wantonness of folly for man
to search out frets and burdens of his
calling and to give his mind every day
to the consideration of them. They
are inevitable.
Brooding over them only gives them
strength. On the other hand a man
has power to shed beauty and pleasure
on the homeliest ton, if he is wise.-
Let a man adopt his business and
identify it with pleasant associations
for Heaven has given US imagination,
not alone to make US poets, but ia
beautify homely things. Heart varnisl
will cover up innumerable evils and
defects. Look at the good things
Accept your lot as man does rough
!, piece of ground, aud begin to get out
rock and roots, and to deepen and
mellow the soil, to enrlJh and plant it

The WORDS We UsE.-It has been
calculated that our language, including
the nomenclature of the arts and scien-
ces, contain 100000 words; yet of this
immense number it is surprising how
few are in common use. To the greet
majority, even of educated mon, three
fourths of the words are as unfamiliar
as Greek or Choctsw. Strike from the
lexicon all the words nearly obsolete
all the words of special art or profess
sions-all the words confined in their
usages to particular localities-all the
words which even the educated speaker
uses only in homeopathic doses-and
it is astonishing into what Lilliputian
volume your Brobdignagian Webster
or Worcester has shrunk. 1t has been
calculated that child uses only about
hundred words and, unless he be-
longs to the educated classes, he will
never employ moro than three or four
hundred. A distinguished American
scholar estimates that few speakers or
writer's use "a many as ten thousand
words; ordinary persons. of fair intel
ligence, not over three or four thou
sand. Even the great orator who is
able to bring into the field, in the war
of words, half the vast array of light
and heavy troops which the vocabulary
affords, yet contents himself with far
less imposing display of verbal force
Even the all-knowing Milton, whose
wealth of words seems amazing, and
whom DR.. johnson charges with using
"a Babylonian dialect" uses only eight
thousand; and Shakespeare himself,
"the myriad-minded," only fifteen
thousand. These facts show that the
difficulty of mastering the vocabulary
of new tongue is greatly overrated ;
aud they show, too, how absurd is the
boast of every new dictionary maker,
that his vocabulary contains so many
thousand words more than his prede-
cessor.s-[Exchange.

the Sewing Machine business has
grown is only surpassed by the rivalry
of the various competitors, few Of whom

If the number of sales be any criti-

sold in 1871 over tyty-tro thousand

The returns of sales of the different
sewing machines, during the year 1871,
show the Singer machine to be by far
the most popular Of all in the market,
the number sold being 1871 $50, out ola
total of 6lO.lN of twenty-five different
patterns. 1t appears, too, that the
Chicago Relief Committee, which un-
dertook to furnish sewing machines to
persons needing them, supplied 2427
Singer machines against 517 of all 9th
er kinds. This preference for the Sim
ger machine is due to its intrinsic su-
periority, and seems likely to be main
tanned against all competition.-[New

Our objections having been overruled,
we are willing to recognize Mr.. Gree
ley's strong points as candidate with
out going back and repeating the Offset
ting disadvantages. The most impor-
tant drawback has been removed by the
unexpected unanimity of the Conven-
ioa and the ready acquieseence Of Mr..
Greeley's most prominent Democratic
opponents. The danger was, that his
nomination would split the party; that
a large section of 1t would adhere to
their first views, and re-elect Grant by
dividing the opposition. This danger is
past, leaving us the advantage of having
buried the issues which grew out Of the
war in a manner so conspicuous and
convincing as to drench the anmuni-
ton of the Grant army. The old cries
apprehension and hide.beund Bour-
bonism will now lose their efficacy
against the Democratic party. This
change might indeed have been accom-
pliSbRd in different manner. The old
mouldering fire might have been put
out without such . damaging deluge of
water; but needless damage to goods
makes it all the more evident that the
IRE is completely extinguished. Moth
ing could have so signalized and so EN-
phasiSed the new departure as the nom
instion of Mr.. Greeley; and though we
