Show and vanity.


The world is crazy for show.
There is not one, perhaps in q
thousand, who dares fall back on
his real, simple self, for power to get
through the world. and exact enjoy
ment as he goes along. There is no
end to the aping, the mimicry, the
false airs, and the superficial airs
1t requires rare courage, we admit
TO live up to ones enlightened con
victions in these days. Unless you
consent to join in the general cheat,
there is no room for you among the
great mob of pretenders. ia man
desires to live within his means,
and is resolute in his purpose not to
appear more than he really is, let
him be applauded. There is some
thing fresh and invigo ating in sucn
an example and we should honor
and uphold such a plan with all the
energy in our power.
But how difficult to stem the di-
rectiOn of culture in our best circles,
where appropriateness is nursed
and tickled into excessive growth
in childhood, and consequently
bears its fruitage of vanity, display,
and supercilious obedience to con
ventionalities in mature life.

Besides the great centennial exhi-
bition, it viii be the year Of cleo

fact that money is scarce we pre-
pose to furnish the CITIZEN until
the first Of 1877 for 81 cash-l4

Anxious housewives have habit
of which they would be well rid, and
little good -natured ridicule NAV,
perhaps, cure them. 1t is that of de
preciating everything on their own
tables-particularly the latter before
visitors. This Is the way in which
it Is done: Smith, wishing to invite
his friend Jones home to dinner, like
a thoughtful husband, as he is, tells
his wife beforehand of his intention.
Mrs. Smith does her prettiest and
succeeds in getting up a meal of
which any housekeeper might be
proud. Seated around the table the
show begins. She says: 81 hope
YOU will be able to make out a meal"
i shall do nicely, thank you," says
the unfortunate visitor. We say
unfortunate advisedly, for he is com
PEELED to listen to the running fire OF
apologies for everything he eats, and
excuses for not having a greater
variety, which are enough to set an
ordinary human wild, and which
most ehectually spoils the dinner.
The biscuits are delicious in color
and haky in texture; the steak is
done to a turn; the pie-crust is rich
enough to satisfy the most depraved
American stomach, yet the good
housewife, as she gazes with salts
faction upon the consumption of
them, saws: 4 don't suppose they
are fit to eat. The weather is so
warm that meat will not keep, and I
am always so afraid of my breads
being sour" Thus she goes on, !
while in her secret heart she knows
every thing is as good of its kind |
as it can be, IS delighted at the res
ult of her labors, and would be high |
ly insulted did any one insinuate
against her cooking, what she thus
openly alleges. What frauds some

1t is related of a girl, II years old
down in Southern Georgia, that she
can cut a one-horse load of hickory
wood in one hour and twenty min
utes with an axe. She can carry
the same in the house and gather up
all the chips in twenty minutes. She
can write a composition the same
night, make up rolls for breakfast,
and learn four difficult lessons,
which she recites perfectly the next
morning.
How many girls who read this
paragraph can help mother wash
dishes, clean up the house, do little
sewing, or look after the children,
without thinking she has 4 hard
time. Yet this one did the mans
work, house work, and learned her
lessons besides. You don't know
how much you can do, girls, till you

Ups and Downs in Social Cir
cleS.

From the Philadelphia Press.
San Francisco, Oct 25.-Decided-
ly the most striking characteristic
of San Francisco is the radical
change constantly going on in its
social and commercial circles. Yet
how great, rapid and astonishing are
the changes wrought by the intense
existence in which we live, none
can fully understand, except those
who reside hereto me even fami
liar as I am with it to day, the
changed and changing condition of
the small fraction of the population
whom / call my friends amazes and
astounds me. l cannot comprehend
the mysterious fate that rides
through all the departments of our
affairs, Are we, indeed, different
from our brothers of the Atlantic
slope? Is our career more cratic,
more dangerous? Do we move in
tangents and not in well-defned cir
cles?
Before me stands a man who, a
few short years ago, worked as a la
borer in a mine, and to day he has
more dollars than any other man
in the United States, rejoicing in an
income of nearly half a million of
bullion a month"; Yonder is a man
embling on the verge of want and
utter destruction who, few months
ago, was n millionaire! In this pass
ing gaudy equipage languidly recli
mes a woman, robed in the richest
fabrics and decked with rarest Jew
els who, five years ago, took in wash
ing for living! And that poor,
sad-faced and neatly clad woman to
my right, not half a decade has
passed since she was power in so
ciety-the proud wife of man
worth the reverence Of a kingdom,
and who sold all things short in
THISTLE, and then sold death
short. One can find human
wrecks all along our streets
wrecks that have been made
so with the suddenness of a thun-
derbolt And we can find where
fortune has poured its golden stream
into the lap of hard labor and pinch
ing poverty, and the recipients walk
before us now as the rulers in the
marts OF commerce. Men pass US
on all sides, anxious and excited,
hurrying on TO disaster and defeat,
or to success and victory, as though
this day embodied ehances.in life, and
l had almost said, all their hopes in
the hereafter. And, must it be said
that women. many young and beau
tiful, and pure, are found mingIlng
with, taking part with, the surging
throng, As anxious, as determined
to brave ~fate and the devil as
their fathers, husbands and loversl
All, me! As strange is life and its
surroundings here, as are the genial
climate, the naked hills, and the
radiant heavens

Men VS.. Women.

L have never been an advocate Of
Woman's Suffrage, but indeed it
has become a matter of no small in
terest to females generally, to know
what position THEN LORDS shall deem
it advisable to grant them. There
fore, think I am not alone when I
say 1 shall look forward with intea-
est to the decision of this moment
Gus question by the Klay Klub.-
Though these gentlemen may be de
batting this question for their amuse-
ment only, yet from their decis-
ion, we may gain some idea Of thier
estimates of woman's worth. II
seems the LIFE of woman at least is
considered Of less value than mans
in some sections, as il can be taken,
and by her husband too, and the
deed considered murder in the sec
ond degree only. Indeed it is alarm
ing to think how common wife-mur-
der is becoming, and how indifferent
men generally are to the extent of the
crime. Almost every day we read
accounts of these murders in the pa
peIs, but without censure or com
ment. In fact, verify believe they
would not mention them at all, but
they must have a certain number Of
crimes to make their columns inter
esting. Even our own Editor, when
went to him the other day and
asked him to use his pen and voice
in denouncing this evil, and the
leniency with which the Courts arc
viewing it, told me in a very crusty
manner to ''do it myself if want it
done" and though he did not mean
what be said, am not to be out
done, so here and now do denOunce
the one and protest against the 9th
er with all my heart As for the
Justice of the courts, l could laugh |
at the bare idea of such "A thing, if
was not afraid of bening found |
guilty of contempt. Such decisions
as the following 90 to prove there is
no justice, for women ut least. A |
man kills his wife, is found guilty |
of murder in the second degree only,
with extenuating Circumstances, and I
even in the South we read OF siren
uous efforts being made to prevent /
a wife murderer from hanging.
When first read ofsuch cowardly |
deeds in the North, secretly rejoic-
ed in the belief that the mania would |
never reach the South, and fit did, !
it would be checked in the begin |
ming by our upright laws, but now
from the extreme southern border,
comes a voice from the reeking vic
tim of a murderous husband, tell |
ing me of the fallacy of my belief;
and in dismay l wonder if all the
men are turning to "Blue Boards
think, along with whisky sell
ing, this crime may be considered
one of the pets of justice. Men of
authority will not try to prevent
whisky selling, because they like to
indulge themselves sometimes, so 1
suppose they will not be too hard on
wife killing, as they may wish to en-
JOY that TOO. AS l said in the be-
ginning, l have no use for woman
suffrage, but il we are forced into
it by the cruelty and injustice of
man, let him abide by the conse
quences.
