The Blessings of WOman's
Society.

All men who avoid female society
have dull perceptions, and are stu
pid, and have gross tastes, and re
volt againt what is pure. Your
club swaggerers, who are sucking
the butts of billiard cues all night,
call female society insipid. Poetry
is as uninspiring to yokel; beauty
has no charms for a blind man
music does not please a poor beast,
who does not know one tune from
another; but, as a true epicure is
hardly ever tired of water, sauce,
and brown bread and butter, 1 pro-
test l can sit for a whole night
talking to a well-regulated, kindly
woman about her daughter Fanny
or her boy Frank, and like the even
ing's entertainment.
One of the greatest benefits a
man can derive from a woman's so
ciety is that he is bound to be re
spectful to her. The habit is oil
great good to your morals, men, de
pend upon it. Our education makes
us the most emlnently selfish men
in the world, and the greatest bene
fit that we have is to think of some
body to whom we are bound to be-
constantly attentive and respectful

LADIES COLUMN.
TIGHT DRESSES.
The Node Carried to Extremes
in England.

Paris Correspondence Phil. Telegraph.
The winter fashions have assum-
ed fixed and decisive type. The
hopes Of the lovers of modesty and
easy movements that the tic back
was about to disappear have all
been blighted. Dresses, both for
street and evening wear, are still
fastened tightly back, though Pari-
sian good taste never suffers a fash
ion to be pushed to the extreme,
and so ; belle in full dress can still
walk, and cit down without any ap
pearant difficulty, though to pick up
her handkerchief from the floor
would be a manifest impossibihty
for her to accomplish. A lady who
has recently returned from England
tells me that the tie back mania has
ragged there in fashionable society
to a most aburd and exaggerated
extent. Not only were dress skirts
made so narrow and fastened so
tightly that a lady in full dress
could get into the carriage with
difficulty, and that only at one
specific side, but not content with
suppressing, like the French bellies,
al under-peticoats save one of elias
tic wooden webbing, the English
danes suppressed the peticoat al
together, combining their underwear
to what l, for modesty's sake, must
style caZecons of glove-fitting buck
skin. No wonder that a certain
fashionable Duchess, having care
lessly thrown herself down on the
greensward at garden party, found
herself unable to rise, and was
forced to be assisted into a perpen
dicular position by two Of her gen
tlemen friends. And wonderful are
the garbs occasionally worn in Eng
fish society. My informant attend
ed very elegant wedding, at which
the bridesmaids were attired in
white satin dresses, trimmed with
scarlet, and laced up the back with
scarlet cords, the toilet being com
pleted by broad brimmed Reubens
hats, shaded with a profusion of
white and scarlet plumes, and by
shoes of red Morocco. So much for
the Anglicizing of Paris fashions.
As to Paris itself, the most notice
able change is the increased length
of outer wraps, sacques and clOabs
being worn much longer than during
past seasons. In costumes the
outer jacket is usually half tight
and comes well over the hips, being
cut straight all round, and with a
multiplicity of seams up the back
that aid to give an appearance OF
slenderness to a stout figure. Scarf
draperies, which were pronounced
obsolete early in the season, are
on the contrary, more worn than
ever. Passementerie trimmings Of
great richness are much in vogue
and are extremely handsome as wei
as costly.

s'Fetch Her Out.

In California twenty years ago,
men would flock in crowds to catch
a glimpse of that rare and blessed
spectacle, a woman! Old inhabi-
tants tell how, in a certain camp,
the news went abroad early in the
morning that a woman was come
They had seen a calico dress hang
ing out of wagon down at the camp
ground-sign of emigrants from
over the great plains. Everybody
went down there and a shout went
up when an actual bona fide dress
was discovered fluttering in the
wind. The male emigrant was Wis
BILE. The miners said: ''Fetch her
outp' He said: cit is my wife,
gentlemen; she is sick; we have
been robbed of money, provisions,
and everything by the Indians-we
want to rest" Fetch her outP
that was the only reply. He "Feteh-
ed her OUT and they swung their
hats and set up three rousing cheers
and a tiger; and they crowded
around her, and gazed at her, and
touched her dress, and listened to
her voice, with the look of men who
listened to a memory rather than
present reality; and then they col
lected $4,000 in gold and gave it to
the man, and swung their hats
again and gave three more cheers,
and went home satifed.

The woman who is indifferent to
her looks is no true woman. God
meant woman to be attractive, to
look well, to please; snd it is one of
her duties to carry out this inten-
ton of her Maker. But that dress
is to do it all, and to suffice, is more
than 1 can be brought to believe.
just because I do love to see girls
look well, as well as to live to some
purpose, 1 would urge upon them
such a course of reading and study
as will confer such charms as no
modiste can supply. n. P. Willis
wrote once very pretty paragraph
on the power of education on beauty.
That it absolutely chiseled the fea-
lures, that he had seen many 8
clumsy nose and thick pair of lips
so modified by thought awakened
and active sentiment, as-to be I'M
recognizable. And he put it on
that ground that we often see PEG
pie, homely and unattractive IN
youth, bloom in middle life into a
softened Indian summer of good
looks AID mellow tones.

A Strange but Good and True
Story.

A religious paper gives the fol
lowing romantic incident as related
by an eminent clergyman of New
York city. 1t is one more proof of
the triteness of the old adage that
"truth is stranger than fiction"
The Rev. DR.. - had prepared
himself very carefully for Sabbath
evening service. The day was
stormy, and he expected very few
persons would be present and was
tempted to use an old sermon and
save his last and best for fine day
and a full house. But he remem
bered the advice of the venerated
DR.. Dewitt, s.Never change your
subject; let the weather change, but
always adhee to your preparation p
To very few people he preached.
At the close of the services a stran-
ger came forward exhibiting traces
of emotion thanked him heartily
for the sermon, and asked the privi-
| lege of walking home with him.
The talk was suggested by the
sermon Reaching his house, the
stranger was invited in. He re-
garded the sermon as personal, be
lieved that his religion should be
practical, stated that the Lord had
blessed him Gin his basket and
store" beyond his highest expecta-
tions, and asked the Doctor to aid
him, by his advice, in bestowing
his riches wisely. The Doctor an
swered that he knew of an orphan
society that was needy, but it would
require a large sum to give it real
relief-at least $4,000. The stran-
ger said nothing; but, taking some
checks from his memorandum book,
filed up one for $40 900 and handed
it over. He then asked him to
name other charities that were
really deserving. As names were
given checks were drawn, in sums
of from $1,000 to $4,000. until he
took his departure, leaving in the
hands of the astonished preacher
checks to the amount of $4,000.
Thinking over the matter the con-
clusion was reached that either the
man was insane and the checks
worthless, or that under the infu-
ence of deep feeling and sudden inn
pulse he had in haste done what he
would repent of at leisure. He was
confirmed in his impressions by the
stranger presenting himself early
the next morning, and supposed he
would ask the return of his checks.
But no, it was to ask if there was
not some other object that, on re-
| Election, the Doctor could recon-
mend as deserving a helping hand.
He politely answered that he really
thought the matter should for the
present end where it was; that his
gifts were already muniicent. The
stranger answered, at is the Lords, D
and insisted. The Doctor then said
that the Foreign Missionary Socie-
ty of their own church was in a
strait. Necessities great, contribu-
lions small, a debt impending and
missionaries about to be recalled
what amount would give reliefP
| He hesitated, but answered truly
Fifty thousand dollars" A check
for the amount was filled up. The
man was in his right mind. The
checks were good, and duly paid
Ever since, DR.. - has concerned
himself about his preparations, ant
is not troubled about the weather
adheres to his preparation and
leaves the rest to God.
