The OTHER SIDE.-There are two
sides to every story. When men COM
plain that their wives do more work
than is necessary, and beg them to let
it 60, would they not likewise complain,
if things were not served up in order
and neatness? Would they be willing
to 60 to the pantry and stake bite"
instead of sitting down to partake of the
dishes set before them at dinner.
Would they object to helping to
spreading the touches at bedtime ? or
eat hasty pudding instead of bread, be-
cause so much time and strength are re-
quired in kneadingl When they want
ed clean knife, spoon or plate, would
they quietly go and wash it, because the
wife let the ''work go" to rest? All,
but making beds, kneading bread, wash
ing dishes and getting dinner, are the
simplest and most necessary duties. A
woman can attend to these without be-
ing always "drudging" respond the dis
comfted grumblers.
Yes, yes, but to find out how many
steps are required to perform thvsv du-
ties properly, you should try them
yourself for a few weeks. Then, you
would learn to be patient when she is
weary, and prone to look on the dark
side of life.

THE HYPoCRITE's DILEMMA.-If there
were not some singular glory in grace,
Why does every one covet to be reputed
gracious /? Nay, the devil himself bats
many of his hooks of temptation with a
show of grace; for he knows sin has no
native beauty of its own to entice, and
therefore he borrows the paint and pre-
tence of holiness to cover it. But o,
what a dilemma will the hypocrite be
poised with at last If grace were evil
why dldst thou affect the name and rep
utation of it ? and if it were good, why
didst thou satisfy myself with the empty
name and shadow of it only !?

TRAVELLING DRESSES.

For midsummer journeyings. dress
which separates at the waist, thereby
permitting the use of linen biouses, is
on every account most desirable. For
cooler wear, one of the new redingote
polonaises Of gray de baize, with black
skirt, is the most serviceable suit. The
redingote is very long garment, fitting
the figure behind, and being double
breasted and loose, or half-ftting in
front, as choice or necessity dictates. 1t
is closed in front by double row of
large buttons-moulds covered with the
material or silk-and has large square
pockets, square cuffs, and coat-collar
either of the same, black silk, or silk
the color of the polonaise. A plain two
inch hem edges it, and it is looped be-
hind, and left open halfway down the
front. 1t covers the skirt so much that
an old one will answer excellently, there
by saving good one for a more import
ant occasion.
Linen busters are not only convenient
but necessary to comfort in journey of
more than a few hours. They are made
either with "a skirt and half-ftting
sacque, which can be slipped over the
dress (and we think this the most con-
venient FORM, rim loose, gown-like
garment, covering the dress to within a
few inches of the bottom, and provided
with sleeves that draw around the hand
with an elastic.
Buff linen collars and cuffs are used
especially for car-wear, and do not show
soil as soon as white; but for long trips
we recommend paper cuffs and collars,
which are made in pretty shapes for Ia
dies, and can be so readily renewed that
the wearer need never look otherwise
than fresh and neat.-ScrSbaaer's for J&-

I QUICKLY MADE FRUIT CAKE.-Take

two cups of brown sugar, one teaspoon
full Of soda, one Of cloves, and one of
cinnamon. Bake slowly.
