LADY LOAFERS.

A cynical Anonyma writes TO the
Cincinnati Commercial as follows:
Sometimes it seems TO me that the
whole social life of women is based up
on two ideas-aping and envy. The
women who lives in two little back
rooms upstairs, apes and envies the
woman who has whole house to her
self The woman who has a small
house apes and envies the woman with
large house, and the woman with
large house is in a steady fever of fear
and fretting lest she be not recognized
and visited by the woman who has
stone front house and circus chariot
with clown dressed up in buttons.
No matter how high up a woman
climbs upon the social ladder, there is
always still some higher height which
she can't scale, some other woman
over her head who looks down upon
her, and gives her days and nights of
jealousy and hcartache. Not blessed
woman Of them all is happy and con-
tent in the soil wherein fate has plant
cd her, but must needs spend her best
time and strength in frantic efforts TO
pull herself up by tho roots and trans
plant herself somewhere else Thesnobs
who ride in circus ch ariots turn up
their noses at the schoolmistresscs the
schoolmistresscs look down from inf
mite heights upon the clerks and dress
makers, and the clerks and dress
makers in turn pay it off with interest
upon the kitchen girls. What non
sense, what supreme tomfoolery il all
is. Is a schoolmistress any better or
higher up than a washerwoman ? Not
bit. And are not the schoolmistress
and the washerwoman both infinitely
better and higher up than the lady
loafers, the-thc Stole Moores of the
feminine sex, in short? Yes, verify.
Women are the most absurd Great
urcs, all owing to the silly fancy that
it Is lady-like to be a loafer. A little
time ago one of my small busy house
keeper friends asked lady loafer
caller what had become of her sister
"Shc goes down town every day,
now, says the lady-loafer, ,hcsitatingly.
as she at workY' quoth the house
keeper.
"Well, ye-yes, says the lady loafer,
still more hcsitatingly.
"What does she do2' asked my
friend.
The lady loafer stammered and
backed off painfully, two or three
times, and finally made clean breast
of it, thusly;
"She-she-shc has charge of the
trimmings in a-dress- making estab-
lishment, She has nothing to do with
the dress-making. She has charge of
the trimmings"

SELF AND SELFLOTE.


1t would sometimes appear as if all
the sin and misery that exists in the
world might justly be traced to selfish
ness. From the child who snatches
his playmates apple from his hand, to
the criminal who dcfrauds his neigh
Dor OF his freedom, property or life, all
evil-docrs seem to be actuated by a pre-
pondcrating selflove., which blinds
them to the rights and claims of Others,
and induces every variety and degree
of misconduct, and the sorrow which
inevitably attends 1t. Such view
leads many excellent people TO regard
self as the principle of all evil hostile
to virtue, religion and God adverse to
the best interests of mankind, and the
great barrier TO any true elevation or
power OF benefccnce. TO renouncc, to
distrust, to sacrifice, TO forget sell, is
thus the effort and the teaching of many
who firmly believe that thus, and thus
alone, can any one become humbly re
ligious or actively benefcent. On the
other hand, the impossibility of doing
this in its fullness leads TO much dcjcc-
ton and selfrcproach among those
who are faithfully striving for il, while
those who most need restraining in
fluence often cast off utterly bonds
found to press so heavily upon their
natures. The difficulty lies, we think,
in the narrow and contracted view
which is so commonly taken of self.
Certainly, if ii is to be put in antago-
nism with all good principles and no
bic impulses, If II must conflict all hu-
mility, reverence and devotion, and
wage warfare with all kindliness, be-
nevolcDce and love, the sooner we ex-
terminate il the better. But is this so ?
What is this self which we are so earn
cstly urged to despise and renouncc ?
ls Il not q beautiful and harmonious
union of body and mind, Of matter and
spirit, of n delicate framework replcte
with tho most wondrous mechanism,
and q soul with infinite possibilities 2
Certainly, all will admit, that TO re
nouncc our highest nature can be no
virtue, but crime. The spiritual part
Of man, which proves its superiority to
tho outward universe, by comprehend
ing and subjugating II, is the noblest
Of all God works, and 10 develop and
unfold II most be our highest aim
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1875-06-16

Il is known that he was endearcd "a
the people, whom he had served SO
long, by the present memory OF his
affiuent gratuities, in as much that the
name of Subsidy Pom" had passed
into household word among his af.
fectionate and admiring constituents.
The only remarkable thing IN his case
just now is, that a man Of his shrewd-
ness should have caught a Tartar when
he supposed himself to be only adding
another to his stock of Legislative cat
tie. II is hard after 80 many success
full ventures TO subside under ones
own subsidies. So the simple Terpeia
bargained TO lot the Sabines into Rome
"for what they carried on their left
arms meaning to get their golden
bracelets us the reward of her treach-
cry, but was crushed TO death under
the weight of their bucklers in cruel
fulflmcnt of their disingenuous en-.
gagement. When men strike corrupt
bargains with the partners Of their
guilt they should be on their guard
against back handed blows "over the
left" especially when they deal with
such sinister customers as the legisla-
tive Yorke, trained in the black arts
of Kansas.
And what is the moral of this mourn
iul episode? Nothing more than that
which may be pointed by the whole
history of the corruptionists into
whose hands the control of the Repub-
lican party has latterly fallen. 1t is of
the nature of all fanaticisms to com
mence in dupes and end in rogues.
Some who once perhaps supposed
themselves to be serving "the Lords
cause" are now led only by Mammon,
the least erected of the spirits that fell
from Heaven" And to-day these
mouthing hypocrites can only serve as
modern instances Of the wise political
saw pronounced by DIR. johnson when,
as Boswell tells us, he once surprised
a company by affirming that patriot
ism was the last refuge Of scoundrel." "
And if the investigations now in pro
gress shall accomplish no other good,
they will at least drive some "scoun-
drels' from the "last refuge" in which
they have been hiding for too many
years

UNDER THE DAISIES.


II is strange what deal Of trouble we take,
What sacrifice most Of US willingly make,
How the lps will smile though the hear may ache
Aud we bend to the ways OF the world for the SAKE
OF it, poor and scanty praises.
And time runs on with such pitlless how
That our lives are wasted before we know
What work to finish before we 60
To our long rest under the daisiet.
And TOO often We fall in useless fight,
For wrong Is 20 much in the place Of right,
And the end Is so far beyond OUT sight,
'Tis as when one starts on a chase by night,
An unknown shade pursuing.
Even so do we see, when our race is run.
That Of all we have stiven for little Is won,
And Of all the work our strength has done,
How little was worth the doing.
So most Of us travel with very poor speed.
Failing in thought where we conquer In deed
Least brave in the hour of greatest need,
And making a riddle that few may read
or OUT life's intricate maaes.
Such labyrinth Of right and wrong,
Is II strange that heart once brave and strong
Should fnltsr at last, and most earnestly long
For calm sleep under the daisies
But II one poor troubled heart eau say.
''Hi. kindness softened my liie's rough way"
And the tears fall over the lifeless clay,
We shall stand up In heaven In brighter array
Than II all earth rang with our praises
For the good we have done shall never fade,
Though the work be wrought and wages paid
And the wearied frame Of the laborcr laid
Al peacefully under the daisies.

Long before Mr. Martin +. Upper
had delugcd patient and long.suficr-
ing public with Proverbial Philosophy,
and, for aught that we can know to
the contrary, even before Solomon had
put his wisdom into nm epi-grammatic
dress, proverbs had become the current
word.coin for mankind.
Truth always recommends itself by
its inherent strength, even 10 those
who never make the least use Of it ;
and most people like to have 1t forced
home to conviction by the smart stroke
Of proverb.
believe that the universal populari-
ty of proverbs is due to two reasons
First, they are the truth, or are always
SO considered second, they do not SER
monize, but come sharply and instantly
TO the point, "the conclusion of the
whole matter We use them habitu-
ally to express ideas which We cannot
else express except by a tedious cir

reason TO believe that they will be lit

But how we garnish our daily talk

of illustration to obtain them and how
much they do prove
The world is surely overrunning with
virtue in the abstract theoretical
Christians are swarming about us
truth and honesty and most of the vir-
tues are drugs in the market, could we
judge from the ready acceptation of
those numerous maxims which incul-
cate sound morality. Yet the proverbs
are well enough; for the most part they
teach correct principles, which we
would all do well TO embrace and hold
fast.
"Thc fault, dear Dmtus, is not in our stars
But 10 ourselves"
And so in regard to the proverbs. We
profess the utmost faith in them, and
trumpet them forth in way that is
often pharisaic; but, alack, we are often
