A Lady'a TfnaeIy Advice 10 Her

In view OF the present critical and alarm
ing condition of our people pecuniariIy, and
the mighty sway the tyrant fashion has
acquired upon society, take the step OF adj
dressing myself to the ladies on the subject
of "A reform. In advocating reform for the
ladies | expect to meet with censure, SCOTS,
and rebukes, while from others an approving
smile. To the ladies ofthe present belong the
work the accomplishment of which will in
augnra.e return to prosperity, and comfor
in our homes, and around our firesides dis
pelling axious, earnest sorrows now induced
by debt. Not only here will it's effects be
seen and felt, but it will be a mighty power
all over the land. Look at the dilapidated
ante-deluvian appearance of our towns and
cities, and ask the why and wherefore, and
what is the remedy; look at the ruin now
staring many thousands in the face from
failures and other misfortunes, and yet we
are as extravagant as in our palmy days of
yore.
We have it in our power to Work a reform
and to us alone the work belongs. Men can
not do it. (and if they und ertook it we would
all cry out persecution, stinginess, or some
thing else) and to our sex will be attributed
the ruin or salvation of our country. Shall
the stigma for all time be against US, that
we had not the moral courage TO take a firm
stand against this deluge of ruin, which we
have invited AID encouraged? Assisted by
other things since the war, over which
we had no control II allude to Radical mis-
rule). If we had nurtured and cultivated
those frugal, industrious habits of economy
brought into existence during the war from
necessity, we could o-day present differ
ent picture, but anconsciouly we glided
back into our old habits and customs, natu-
rally to being luxurious, pleasure loving
folks. forgetting we were a subdued, and
destined to become subjected people. But
let us thank God with all our hearts and
souls that we are delivered from our politi-
cal oppressors, and then true to ourselves,
our country and our people, begin a social
reform which will usher in an era Of plenty
at home and to spare to the poor. Every
sensible man will hail the day when sensi-
BILE women will not be ashamed to be seen
in public in calico dresses, and husbandiand
sons dressed in jeans made at Wesson or any
other factory South. Should there be others
of my sex now occupying the same ground
not quite courageous to come out and stem
the tide, let the CLARION hear and perhaps
he will assist us in raising up and bringing
others to the rescue.
We will still be as noble a people as
wholesOuled and as proud as we are to-day
dressed in silks and cloths, laden with
jewels and gewgaws.

MORE THAN WE ASK.
La the House, yesterday, a joint resolution
was introduced providing for an amend
ment to the Constitution to elect the Presi-
dent and Vice President by a direct vote of
the people; also, bill providing for the
election OF Senators of the United States by
WIZ ne ldLBeE PROVISION Is more.
as take it, than any one has required of the
present Congress yet it is generally be-
heved that the people can, in this behalf,
make quite as good choice as the State
Legislatures can. One excellent feature of
the bill, which just now occurs to me, would
be that, in the event the States make mis-
takes in electing their legislators, these mis-
takes could not be extended to the choice of
a U. 5. Senator. The Supreme Court iud yes,
elected by the people of different States,
nave nTOYP6 as raafQ
those chosen by any other means; and why
not the selection of Senators as we'll?
The "Silver Bill" which has passed the
House, is heartily approved, of course, by
the South and West, while the bloated bond
holders Of the East think it an unmixel
evil. It's believed, / am happy to say, that
it will pass the Senate; and therefore the
South can look for easier times. There are
scores of reasons why the bill should be-
come a law-plain to every body except
" bloated bond holders" But have neith-
er time nor space to n anne them in this let

Feminine ChiG-Chat.

Above all earthly gifts a good mother
stands pre- eminent. She is worth her
weight In gold-more than an army of
acquaintance. Those who have played
around che same doorstep, basked in the
same mothers smile, in whose veins the
same blood flows, are bound by sacred
tie that can never be MISUNDERSTANDING.
How is it that woman sees so readily
that she is loved, but never can find out
she is loved no longer?
The prevailing young woman discovers
and young man to pilot her through
the painless forest.
Love is an eternal transport |" ex-
claimed an enthusiastic poet. " So is a
canal boat" said an old forwarding mer-
chant.
A young lady being asked by a rich
bachelor, " If not yourself, who would
you rather be-" replied, sweetly and mod
estly, "Yours truly"
She who travels through life afoot and
alone, for forty odd years, may often
yearn for a manly breast to lay her head
against, but her hands are free from cal
lous places and broken fnger-nails,
caused by pulling off her husbands boots.
Chow to Tell Lady" is described in
a fashion exchange. But, pshaw! they
can't tell people anything on that subject.
Just take hold of her hand, slip your arm
around her waist, and tell her in wills
per. That's the correct way.
TeDacity of purpose is one of woman's
most glorious qualities. Many one will
resolutely continue, with pen in hand,
composing an original poem ON " Au-
tumn Leaves" while her mother is en-.
gagged in surrounding her neck with a
slice of ham in red flannel, for the very
cold she caught while gathering them.
He was just married and the sweets of
the honeymoon seemed destined to infn-
tie prolongation. But one morning he
read a newspaper prediction that there
were to be one hundred and ten snow
storms this winter, on the strength of
which statement his wife bought snow
shovel. 1t was too much for him. He
is now chattering maniac.
Somebody advertised in a daily paper
for a servant girl "who would not be
above placing herself on an equality with
the rest of the family"
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-11-21

A few years since the philanthropic
women of the New England Woman's
Club, recognizing the widespread and
rapidly increasing dissatisfaction in re-
gard to women's dress and the caprices
of fashion, determined to make serious in
quiry In regard to these dissatisfactiOns,
and to determine what steps could be
taken toward making it more healthful,
artistic, and serviceable. They discov-
cred that the citadel to be attacked was
the under clothing-for, says Mrs. Wool
son, /" What are few rufles more or
less, ftful change in the tribes of finish
and trimming, to the inequalities of tenn
perature, the burdens and compressions,
which our dress 10 every ore of its many
forms must iDfict. They are but mint,
anise and cummin compared with the
wheightier matters of physical laws per-
petually broken by an established and
unvarying style Of senseless underwear.
What then is needed is not to assail fash
ion, but to teach hygiene" aud in order
that at least once year a national OBJ
ject lesson may be given, Mrs. WoOlson
suggests that at every national, State and
county exposition we ought to have dress
department, where the best material may
be shown, and where styles, from by
gienic, aesthetic, and economic point Of
view may be discussed.

Green is the color most in vogue, vary
ing in shades from dark blue to the pc
culiar yelIowish tint so much used the
into favor. The dress, known as the
princess, is no longer the highest fashion.
The polonaise holds its own, worn very
long and draped only very low in the back
Clasps, such Us are worn on cloaks, are
much used as ornaments in holding the
drapery, as also are bows of broad rib
bon and of the same material as the
Dress Skirts of dresses are wide, but
the all important point ia that all the full
ness should be carried to the back, every
thing being plain over the hips. OF
course, with the present style of dress it
is quite impossible for crinolines to be
worn. The petticoats must be plain in
front, the front breadth be trimmed or
founced if desired, but it should be p.
on without ful'ness, that being necessary
only at the back.
Dresses for the street are quite short,
but not sufficiently to expose the feet
The skirts are round and trimmed with a
broad braid or band of cloth, or velvet.
Cashmere as dress material is much used
and so are velvet and satin.
Brocades, satins and velvets, are still
much used, as are damasse goods. A
very pretty dress is shown of dark plum
colored velvet, draped and trimmed with
brocaded velvet Of the same color.
Sleeves are close to the arm. For sim
pie morning dresses linen collars and
cuffs are worn, the cuffs being, with
the tight coat sleeve, worn outside
of the sleeve. The duchesse lace is
still fashionable, as are Irish and Russian
laces. Trimmings of jet and claire de

dress. With velvet dresses should be

be of the same color also. Cloaks are
still long, but not so long as those worn

fashionable than they have been for
many years. A very pretty shape is the

LOVES LONG AGO.
BY EARL MARBLE.


| lost my sweetheart yester eve,
And bowed my soul down deep in woe;
But why should man forever grieve?
For that was, oh so long ago.
"Good- by- she said, in steady tone,
While | did shake and trem BILE so;
The one had long called my own
Went hence. But that was long ago.
smoke my pipe tonight, and muse
On loves sweet pangs. The afterglOw
Drives of the onward creeping blues;
For, after all twas long ago.
For true philosophy counts hours
For what they bring, not how they go;
So serenely take their bowers,
And smile because twas long ago.
A dozen hours the sun has shone;
A dozen shone the moon also.
Since my sweet mistress all alone
Left me. But that was long ago.
I grievc for life's older joys,
No longer than the sun can go
His round diurnal; ere love clogs
Renew it. Then the long ago
viii e'er be pleasant Other lips
Are waiting and bright love-lights glow
In other eyes; so loves eclipse
Seems not so dreary long ago.
All me. So forget the pains
OF love proved false in thinking, oh
How sweet shall be the morrow's gains,
How small the loss of long ago.
| mourn me not of mistress lost;
In thinking of the newer glow
That shall descend like Pentecost
And make the old so long ago.
When newer mistress shall WOO,
And newer lips my own shall know,
And sweeter "Yes,' when l shall WOO,
l smother ere it's long ago.
