HOMES REDUCED BY DRESS.

Only those women who have not the
money to dress" can fully appreciate
the weight which society ruthlessly
heaps upon this disability. To be un-
able 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 uncere-
moniously displaced, to be cruelty
driven out of good society, to have
your heart, your intelligence, your
thoughts, your virtue, your character,
held as nothing against silk; to be
stung, to be outraged, to be prescribed,
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 ruin. The fashion,
able lady thinks nothing of paying $75
for making dress, made up of forty
yards of silk, at from 81 10 $40 per
yard. These are the women who rule
the street, drawing-rooms, theatres
dare we say churches ? After such
the lesser lights pattern. What de-
fence have the girls who work for
from 81 to $40 per week against this
array ?
The rich can be fashionable, the
poor cannot be by honest means. The
poor industrious shop girl looks upon
even $50 dresses, and they arc beyond
her reach. There is $40 gulf between
her and them--bctwcen her and 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 hell for
dress. After the first step is taken, it
is not long before all useful labor is
eschewed, and the foul vice made to
be the only service of income. This is
no picture, but what happens every
day, and is plain statement of how
the recruits to brothels are made. This
mania tor "drcss" is devastating our
American women to an alarming ex-
tent. The wives and daughters of the
rich men who lead society in this fear
full race of extravaganza are respon-
sible for great share of the prostitu-
ton which curses the nation, as well
as for thousands of business failures,
scattered families, and the long train
of miseries among us under the cover
of keeping up appearances Let
those who have the courage take this
lesson and act upon it.-Erchdnge.

every woman, princess or peasant,
ought to know how they should be
done, and have deXterity and practice
enough to do them. This is woman's
province, which all gentlewomen

On the Rail.

Always attend to checking your
self. If you feel like swearing at the
baggage-mastcr, check yourself. If
you havn't a trunk full of clean
clothes to check, you at least should
be adequate to a check shirt.
When you vacatc your seat for q
moment, leave plug hat in the seat.
Some one will come along and sit
on it, thereby preventing your hat
from being stolen.
Passengers cannot lay over for
another train without making ar
rangements with the conductor. If
man has been on a train" for a
week or so, no conductor should
allow him to lay over for another on
any account.
Ladies without escort in travelling
should be very particular with whom
they become acquainted. They
needn't be so particular with those
with whom they are acquainted.
Keep your head and arms inside the
car windows, if you would keep your
head and carry arms"
Never talk on politics it encourages
some "nimshi" to take q vote of the
passengers.
No gentleman will occupy moro
than one seat at time unless he be
twins.
A gentleman should not spit tobac-
CO juice in the cars where there are
ladies. He can let drive out of the
car window while the train is at a
station, if the platform is crowded.
Always show your ticket whenever
the conductor asks for it. If you get
out of humor about it, don't show it.
Never smoke in car where there
are ladies. Get the conductor to turn
the ladies out before lighting your
cigar.
Never use profane language in the
car. Go out on the platform. Pro-
family is never thrown away on a
brakeman.
If YOU cannot sleep yourself do not
disturb the " "sleepers.'
Look out for pickpockets. Pick
pockets are never in the. car, you
know, as you have to look out for
them.
Provide yourself with sleeping
berths before starting. No careful

out good supply of sleeping berths.

Little Things.

Little words, not eloquent speeches
nor sermons; little deeds, not miracles
nor battles, nor one great act of
mighty martydom, make up the true
Christian life. The little constant
sunbeam, not the lightning; the
waters of Sloan, "that go softly" on
their meek mission of refrcshment,
not the waters of the river "grcat and
mighty" rushing down in torrent,
noise and force, are the true symbols
of holy life. The avoidance of little
evils, little sins, littlo inoonsiste ncies,
little weaknesses, little follies, little
indiscretions and imprudences, little
foibles, little indulgences of self and
of the flesh, little acts of Incidence,
of indecision, of slovcnliness, or cow
ardice, littlo equiYooations or aberra-
tions from high integrity, little bits
of wordliness and gayety, little indif-
ferences to the feelings and wishes Of
others, little outbreaks of temper and
crossness, or selfishness, of vanity;
the avoidance of such little things as
these go far to make up at least the
negative beauty of holy life. And
then attention to the little duties Of
the day and hour in public transac-
tions, or private dealings, or family
arrangements; to the little words and
tones, little benevolenccs, or for
bearances, or tenderness; little self
denials, self-restraints, and self
thOughtfulness; little plans of quiet
kindness and thoughtful considera-
tions for others; punctuality and
method and true aim in the ordering
of each day, these are active develop
ments of holy life, the rich and di-
vine mOsaics of which it is composed.
What makes yon green so beautiful ?
Not the outstanding peak, or stately
elm, but the bright sward which
clothes its slopes, composed of innu-
merable blades of grass. 1t is of small
things that great life is made up;
and he who will acknowledge no life
as great save that which is built up of
great things, will find little in Bible
characters to admire or copy.

Irish Actors and Actresses.

The Irish have been extremely
prolific in actors of superior excellence.
Quin and Macklin stood in the front
rank of the histrionic art, and were
excelled only by Garrick. Both Mos
sop and Spranger Barry were actors
whose talents were honored with
marked applause. OF famous and
beautiful actresses, from the days of
the brilliant Wellington, Ireland can
boast several. Mrs. Give and Mrs.
Abingdon were Irish; Miss Farren
afterwards Countess OF Derby was
daughter of a Cork apothecary, who
dwelt in those "groves of the pool"
celebrated by the facctious Millikin
Mrs. Glover, that most accomplished
actress, whose humor is thoroughly
"racy of the soil," was an Irish
womer, Last Of all, we can point to
the pathetic and beautiful O'Neil-the
ornament of her profession and her
sex. Besides these, a whole list of
secondary talents-not to be spoken
of with slight-can be named, from
the days of Woodward to that Of
Hudson, as proving the success Of
Irish talent on the stage. 1t is as
serted that Charles Kean is q native
Of Waterford; and it is believed that
Ireland has claim to one of his
parents, as likewise in the case of Ma
cready, whose father was an Irishman.
1t is worthy of remarks, that the
greatest boast of the British stage,
Garrick, was of French extraction,
(Carrique,) his grandfather having
been the first of his family settled in
England and certainly Little
Davy," in his cormorant vanity and
prodigious ingenuity-his perpetual
sparkle, and social pleasantry-was
thoroughly Frenchman.
Suppleness and strength are the
qualities most required for the stage.
There must be that plastic element
which easily assumes a variety of
forms, and there must exist in con-
junction with it, that extraordinary
strength of frame which enables the
actor to endure the arduous and pro-
tracted fatiguos of the profession.
The rarity of finding persons who
unite muscular strength with mer-
curial volatility, is the reason why
there have been so few great actors.
The great actor and the great orator
must each be strong and sensitive I;
and sturdiness is seldom united with
sensibility. Garrick had both qualities
to high degi ee so had Mrs. Siddons
and Miss o. Ncill. In the Irish people
generally there is a certain physical
union of there opposite qualities of
strength and susceptibility: and in
this respect they are not unlike the
ancient Greeks, to whom divers
writers have assimilated their pshycho.
logical as well rs physiological charac-
ter. Hence results the number Of
eminent Irish actors and actresses F.;
and to similar cause might be u.s.
signed the number of Irish orators.

truly for both.
AS soon as Turner's garments were ex
tinguished, Garrison stepped back, ant
wiping the blood from his face with one
hand, thrust the other into his pocket
took out cap, and extending it, said:
"Mr. Turner you are entitled to youl
shot. Here is fresh cap take it, sir

Turner gazed at him a moment il
mute surprise, as if he doubted the evi
dence of his senses. Then throwing
down his pistol and advancing step he
extended his hand and said
Commodore Garrison, this is all

man for me to murder Let us forget

with deep emotion, Sir, l am rejoiced

AN OPTICAL DEL USION.

A very humorous event occurred on
Main street Saturday afternoon. A
flock of sheep were going along the
street in one direction, and drove of
cattle in another. The latter so discon-
certed the former as to drive them in
every direction. This disturbance
greatly aroused the combative propen-
sites of sturdy ram that had strayed
on to the sidewalk, and had his attention
momentarily attracted by certain varie-
ties in the windows, at which we may
suppose he looked very sheepishly.
Passing by glass door, he espied his
own reflection in the glass, and, not be-
ing well posted in optics, he imagined
that some other rascally ram had placed
himself there in belligerent attitude.
This was too much for his proud and
resentful spirit, and collecting all his
physical force he made desperate leap
with the intention of butting out the
brains of his antagonist. He dashed
through the glass at one bound as easily
as circus equestrian could jump
through the silk paper that covers the
space inclosed by the circumference of
hoop, and alighted in the store, the
glass offering no resistance to his hardy
head.
We leave the reader to imagine how
the parties within were surprised at the
abrupt arrival of such strange custom
er. But the people outside were at first
not less surprised to conceive the cause
that prompted the animal to perform
such a gymnastic feat without any ap,
parent provocation. Lexington Press.

DRUNKENNESS A DISEASE. The we'll
known DR.. Willard Parker, of New York,
lately delivered an address before the
National Temperance Society. What
this experienced and able physician says
upon the subject of intemperance is en-
titled to very great weight, for the reason
that to his ordinary medical experience
is added that of many years care of in
ebriates. The doctor has come to the
conclusion that drunkenness is a disease !;
that a drunkard cannot control his appe-
tite, and that he will hence drink ut all
hazards. The doctor ranks alcohol
among the poisons; as poisonous as
arsenic or belladona, and as surely de-
structive of life as these poisons. He
took the very unusual ground that the
purer the spirit the more deadly its
effect, and declared that if he were going
to use it he would prefer the adulterated
article. He declared that nothing is
harmless in which there is alcohol. In
lager there is three to four per cent. of
alcohol in ale seven to eight; in wine
twenty-three in gin ffty-one in brandy
fifty-three, and in cider two to three per
cent.

PROHIBITION IN MAINE-DECREAS
IN CRIME.

We sometimes hear it said that there
is more liquor drank now in Maine, I'M
der prohibition, than there was forty
years ago under license. But every
candid man knows better. Indeed, a
comparison of Maine to-day with license
States shows that there are not one
fourth as many places in Maine where
intoxicating liquors are sold as bever-
age as there are in license States, and
not one-eighth as much liquor sold per
inhabitant. The last report of the At
torney General of Name shows ninety
per cent. of our criminals are made by
the liquor traffic, and gives us some in
teresting statistics of the decrease of
crime in this State growing out of pro-
hibltion and its enforcement. During
the year 1868 the prison, Jail, and re-
form school received 204 criminals. The
number sentenced in 1867 was 1877; in
1867, ia; in 1869, 1S9 in 1870, $50; in
1871, 152, and in 1872 only 100. Esti-
mating the average of commitments for
the seven years under review, we find it
152. This result indicates the remarka-
BILE fact that the crime during the last
year QS72, in which the reform move
ment has gone hand in hand with pro-
hibition) is thirty-three per cent. less
than the average of the last ten years.
1t should be noticed, moreover, that the
number convicted and sentenced last
year is fifty per cent. less than in 1866,
and thirty-three per cent. less than il
1871. Of course no one will claim that
our prohibitory laws are enforced in al
parts of the State, for that is impossible
everywhere until the public sentiment OF
every locality shall have been brought
up to the requisite standard.
