HOW SOME RICH PEOPLE LIVE.

In the Ladies' Department Of Tasgart's
Philad.lphia Times, Mrs. Bladen, the edi-
tress publishes the following interesting. and
suggestive letter from correspondent at
Easton, and We have no doubt there is more
truth than poetry in what the indignant
Maria relates:
"Lottic married u gentleman from your
city year ago. She is living with his fam
lily in an elegant mansion on c. street.
Eevery body thought Lottie made very
ambitious match, and as her husband was
an only child, it was nice for her to live
with his parents. Well, we stopped in
Philadelphia last week oil our way home
from the sea-shore, and, of course, | Went
to sec Lottie. The house was grand, front
white marble, and furnished elegantly. 4
colorsd man at the door took my card, and
Lottie ran down to the parler to see Inc,
quite delighted. Lottie's s1amma-in-law
came down to see me, and made me stay for
dinner. l didn't want to stay. but l could
not refuse. The dinner table glittered with
silver and glass and painted china, and the
servant-man removed the covers with a
great flourish. Now, what de you think
they had for dinner Ca o'clock dinner,
too?) First, We had two table spoonfuls Of
soup, plates with painted butterflies on them
(just about enough for a buttertiy.) Then
Lottie's mother-in-lav said:
"Shall send you some bouille?"
81 said she might, and the bouille was
nothing bat the old shin Of beef that the
soup had been made out OF. Then she said
to the colored waiter:
"Thomas, serve the haricot."
"And the haricot was the vegetables
strained out Of the soup. Then Thomas
was made to remove the cloth, and serve
the dessert, and Thomas placed on the ia
bic some awful looking corn starch, which
they called bldncnidnge; three apples in n
dish and few old wormy nuts. None of
the family took any of the nuts or apples.
and | believe they were afraid to, as they
were set on the table rs ornaments. | cx-
cused myself as soon as possible, and ran to
a restaurant to get something to eat, for
was half starved; besides this, | felt very
much in.ulted, that such rich people should
have dared to ask me to such a dinner as
this. We live very plainly at home i'll -
little two-story house, and keep but one
servant, but we always have nice roast beef
or chicken or ham, and two or three veseta-
bles for dinner, and valiics or hot cakes and
fruit for tea and | know Lottie, who was
accustomed to all this, is being half starved.
She looks as thin as rail. | always won
dered why it was that so many rich people
are thin but now | know it-because they
half starve themselves TO save money to
make show and display. The mean old
things.-I believe they send their sons to
marry fat, hearty country girls, because
thev think they will hold out under the
starving system longer. Just publish this
in the Sinday Times. | wsnt those people
to sec it, so that they will never invits me
into their house again. 1t makes me indig-
nant to think that they would give me an
old bsef bono to eat and call it a bCHiHe,
as though did not know any better.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more than toll az sorrow.
Obedience TO fashion is greater transGres
sion Of the laws Of woman's nature, greater
injury to her hysical and mental constitu-
ton than the hardships of poverty and neg
ect. The slave woman of her task still
lives and grows old, and sees two or three
generations of her nistresses pass away.
The washer woman, with scarcely a ray Of
hope to cheer her in her toll, will live to see
har fashionable sisters all extinct. The
kitchen maid is hearty and strong when
her lady has to be nursed like sick baby.
1t is Il sad truth that fAshion-pampsred
women are always worthless for all gsed
ends Of life; they have but little force Of
character; they have still less of power Of
moral will, and quite IS little physical en-
Grey. They live for no great ends. They
are dolls, formed in the hands Of milliners
and servants, to be fed TO order. II they
rear children, servants and nurses do all
save to conceive and give them birth; and
when reared, what are they What do
they amount to, but weak cions Of the old
stock? Who ever heard Of fashionable
weman's child exhibiting any virtue and
power Of mind fer which it became emf
neut? Read the biographies Of our good
men and women. Not one Of them had 4
fashionable mother.

able support to the Count by marking time for him,
and the drill sergeants call of "Ieft-right-left"

about the stage that such minor articulstions us

Once and once only. the applause of the audience
changed to groaning; it was on the occasion of the
presentation of the death warrant "Wash bill!''

agony of sympathy the sight of such dire

He addressed himself to the audience and the word
