Those Slippers.

At this season of the year the average
American housewife becomes as mystic
rious as hen with nest hid in the cur
rant bushes. Her absences from home
are frequent, and she avoides giving an
account of them. Her air is preoccu-
pied and her manner as full of impor-
lance as if she were a Cabinet Minister
with State secret. She is apt to neg
lect trifling household duties and listen
to reproof with the benign and kindly
smile of one who is above petty troub-
les. She is preparing Christmas pres
ents, and the burning of beefsteak is a
matter of no moment. 1t is useless for
the man of the house to demonstrate; it
is idle for him to grumble. Censure re-
bounds from her like rain from the
wings of an angel caught in terrestrial
storm. Nothing will disturb her seraph-
ic mood until the January thaw. AS
woman at the housekeeping time OF
the year is fury, so woman at the ap-
proach of the holidays is Saint. And
as no man may withstand her when she
RACES about the house in the melan-
choly days, with cloud of dust around
her like that which an ancient war
chariot gathered as it went, her skirts
tucked up as Roman girt his gar
ments for street brawl, her hair tied
away under handkerchief and the
bosom of destruction in her hand
Her broom the scepter all who meet obey,
so on man may attack her with i'm
puni.y in the milder madness of the
Christmas season, when her motions are
quiet and subdued and the mild light OF
happiness glows in her eye. In her role
of Martha, solicitous about house-clean-
ing, and in her role of Mary, who hath
chosen better part, she is alike incom-
prehensible to the sterner sex, and every
sensible husband soon learns to look
upon his wife at such times as one whose
ways are not his ways, creature to be
humored, like poet, when her eye is in
fine frenzy rolling. The Christmas
mania might, indeed, prove very pleas
ant episode in family life, notwithstand-
ing the amount of money which it costs,
were it not for one popularity in the
madness. We allude to its tendency to
manifest and satisfy itself in the fabrica-
ton of slippers. Lovely woman seems
to be urged on by a sweet impulse to
decorate her spouse, brother or lover
with her own handiwork, and there APP
pears to be no other vehicle for the ex-
preston of her affection, save slippers.
Like painter through whose work the
influence of a single model is ever evil
dent, the geniler sex still fashion slip
pers and make them serve for every re-
lation of life and It's amenities. Slip
pers of canvas, slippers of morocco,
slippers Of velvet, slippers Of carpeting,
slippers embroidered with roses, slip
pers adorned with butterflies, slippers

cured without the dangerous use of internal

A Warning.

A letter from Salem, Oregon, to the
Sacramento Union contain the fol,
lowing: 81 lately heard curious
story of how home-bred Oregon
youth negotiated for wife at the
East. Through friends, or persons
who were common relatives, this
young man opened correspondence
with the young lady, and in course Of
time they were engaged. He actual
ly went on and married stylish
damsel who was one Of the elite of
some Eastern town. The wedding
was considered big thing back there.
The newspapers gave full accounts of
the same, and followed the young
people with interesting paragraphs as
they wendell their way back TO his
plantation in Oregon. Imagine a
stylish bride, who changed her dresses
for every meal, and was of princely
demeanor in general, coming out to
an Oregon plantation consisting of
acres that had been mortgaged to pay
travelling expenses, and log cabin
with two rooms the family residence.
Something of that kind was actually
the fact, and the finale is a lamentable
commentary on the wedding prepare
tons and the local paragraphs that
sent the young !couple on their way
westward The young lady is prob.
ably heart sore with disappointment,
but it IS to be hoped the young man
who had the enterprise to win wife
by brilliant representations can dls
play energy enough to Keep her after
he has got her. The facts in the case
could not be more clearly given with
out being unpleasantly personal, and
I say as much as 1 do because III
stances have repeatedly come to my
knowledge where such courtship has
been carried on. In some instances
ladies have come to Oregon to meet
men whom they have shrunk back
from with horror when actually face
to face, and of course the wedding did
not come off. | have known several
such matches that were unhappy. 1t is
safe to suppose that man worth hay
ing can find some one at home worthy
of his admiration. Girls are plentiful
in Oregon, and it is beginning to re-
semble New England in having an
abundant supply"
