Social Extravaganza.

1t is the opinion of competent observers
that social extravaganza prevails to a greater
extent at present than during any previous
period in the history of the Republic Com
mon attention will convince one that the evil
is keeping pace with the revival of business
prosperity, and all classes of society are more
or less permeated by it. Splendid equipage
and dress, the costliest furnishings of house
and lands, ostentatious displays of wealth
are faults of the rich; expensive imitation,
the danger of the poor. The old rule of
keeping expenses inside of the income ac-
count is but seldom thought of. Released
from the restraints of the long business de-
preston, people are rushing wildly into ex-
penditUres, neither thinking nor caring for
the day ofreckoniDg There is not a depart
partment in household economy where the
old msxims of self-denial and simplicity are
allowed to assert themselves. The giving of
a social dinner, unless it is accompanied by
a resplendence of taste and fashion, is more
likely than not to be criticised as ill-bred and
vulgar. Women and children must be dressed
with splendor that bespeaks a court instead
of the plain and solid character of the old
Republic. The evil is not confined to the
rich. The poor, whose earnings at best are
small, find or invent means for initiating ex-
travagance OF the higher classes. Inc moral
enervation of this course is disastrous. Pow
erty has never done so much injury in the
world as unwise and lavish expenditure of
money. A people struggling for existence
will be stronger, morally more wholesome,
than one surrounded with every luxury that
wealth can control. Not but that money,
when rightly used, is one of the most benef-
cent agencies in the world, for it is. But if
it is to sink men in luxury it is a fatal posses
sion. What is needed more than anything
else is the restoration of the old habit and
practice of economy. The founders of the
Nation were rigidly plain and simple in their
course of life, and imitation of their EXAM
pie must be urged in every way ond shape
The time has come to call halt in the social
extravaganza of the period. Greater sim.
plicity must be had, less display made, and
the virtue of economy inculcated and prac'
iced.

her shame would let her. Peter though
then he never saw a being more beautiful
! than Tilsie.
"Well. Aunt Becky, if Peter Stradsprake
don't love me, it amt my fault" exclaimed
Tilsie, on reaching the house.
"Why, what now, dear? What have yol
done2" asked the good old lady, peering owe
her spectacles at the speaker.
I 81 have done enough. In novels the hero
inc faints and falls into the arms of her flu
ture husband, or he saves her from death, o.
something else very wonderful, wi lie hav,
thrust my face into that of Mr. Str, DIS oraker
and hallooed boo thrown myself into his
arms, and-and-Aunt Becky, to finish the
whole, showed him my foot through hole
in the scaffold floor. What will it be next
1 wonder? 1 hate myself and everybody
else"
mot so bad !" replied Aunt Becky her sides
shaking with suppressed laughter. 81 dare
say, Peter'll think right about it."
Think right about It'll Mercy, how can hei
/ never want to see his face agin" And
thus poor Tilsie ran on, while Aunt Becky
endeavored to console her.
When tea was ready, Tilsie could not be
prevailed upon to participate. Peter imagin-
ed he was not ignorant of the cause as he
thought of white stockings and number one
gaiter boots, for Peter was in love, yes deeply
in love with the wild Tilsie Vane; and,
although only two days under the same roof,
she in return felt something akin toward
loving the handsome young lawyer.
The next evening Tilsie, feeling exhausted
from the days exercise, was about to retire
earlier than the usual hour; and, as was her
custom, kissed Aunt Becky good night, and
went out on the porch to bid Uncle John
good night also. The moon had not vet
risen. and Tilsie could see distinctly only a
short distance ahead However, she saw
Uncle John on the far end of the porch, in
his accustommed place in the warm summer
evenings; and, approaching him, clasped
her arms about his neck, and kissed a kind
good night.
ooh, Uncle Johnl" said she, ssI'm nearly
mortified to death about Mr.. Stradspraker.

what he will think of me, for"
She stopped short-for, reader, it was Pc

Her first Impulse was to leave, but he gently
detained her.
"Oh, Mr.. Stradsprakerl it is an accidentl

She could proceed no further but buried
her face in her hands.
''Tilsie 1 will tell you what Peter St-ad-
SPEAKER thinks of you. love you-passion-
ately love you. Tell me, can hope you love
me in return2"
Well, reader, shan't tell you any more
they said that night. saw Tilsie did not
retire as easy as she anticipated; and not
many weeks after she said to Aunt Becky:
81 thrust my face into his and halloed boo
L threw myself into his arms, I showed him
my foot through an aperture in the scafold,
and kissed him in the dark, all within three
days, and won him after all, didn't I2''
"And Peter Stradspraker isn't such queer
sounding name now, is it. Tilsie? Besides,
Pm sure you don't hate everybody now; if
you did, you wouldn't be for marrying Peter
next month";" Aunt Becky said, roguishly.

Kissing Sister Green.

A representative of the American few
nights ago had the satisfaction of viewing
from convenient spot the proceedings of
meeting of the stewards of colored church
in South Baltimore. Though not carried on
in a strictly Parliamentary manner, it never
theless demonstrated the ability of colored
divine to run a meeting son his own hook. !"
The minister presided, and the meeting was
opened with the hymn" o, for a thousand
tongues to sing" after which the minister
delivered an effective prayer, in which oc-
Cured the remarkable passage: 80 Lord
light on this benighted soul, and teach him
dat sich practices won't be tolerated in this
congregashun." Like the minister who
threatened to throw brick from the pulpit
at the biggest sinner in the church, the shot
took effect, as several heads popped up from
the benches, and Immediately popped down
again, as if conscious of guilt. The prayer
being ended, the preacher arose and said,
"Dearly belub'd breddern, de first bisness
befo' this meeting is a case of moral dis
turbitude. When first came among you,
like lamb in de flock, l thought l had
lighted in paradise, where all was beautiful
and sublime. didn't think such practices
would go on" more necks stretched and
more heads elevated) "under de very roof of
dis temple of goodness. Bar de do, don't

right. To come to the point, without cir
cumlocution, breddren, and you sisters,

There are generally about six of them in
bunch, with light dresses on, and they have
three poles with as many hooks and lines
among them. As soon as they get to the
river they look for good place to get down
the bank, and the most venturesome one
sticks her boot heels in the bank and makes
two careful steps down-then finds herself
at the bottom, with both hands in the water,
and feeling that everybody in this wide
world is looking at her, and she never tells
anybody how she got there. The other girls,
profting by her example, turn around and
go down the bank on their hands and toes,
backward. Then they scamper over the
RATS until they find shallow place where
they can see the fish, and shout:
"Oh, l see onep'
"Where?"
"Oh, my, so heisp
"Let's catch himl''
"Whos got the bait?"
''You lazy thing, you're sitting on my
polep'
All these ordinations are gotten off in a
tone that awakens every echo within mile
"galloping Mysteries" Then the girls, by
superhuman exertion. manage to get worm
on the hook and throw it into the water with
splash like the launching of wash-tub,
and await the result. After awhile feeble
minded sunfsh contrives to get fastened on
the hook of timid woman, and she gives
vent to her tongues
''Oh, something got my hookp
"Pull up, you little idiot" shout about
five excited voices, as poles and hooks are
dropped and they run to the rescue. The
girl with the bite gives spasmodic jerk,
which sends the unfortunate sunny" into
the air the full length of the line, and he
comes down on the nearest curly head with
a damp flop that sets her clawing as though
there were bumblebees in her hair.
"Oh, murder! take 1t away Ughl take
it away, the nasty thingp
Then they hold up their skirst and gather
about that fish as he skips over the logs, one
all the time holding the line in both hands,
with her foot on the pole, as though she had
an evil-disposed goat at the otherend Then
they talk it over.
"How will it ever get off?'
''Ain't it pretty?"

"Poor little thing let's put it back again ?"

Half dozen members were on their feet
at once and talking, or rather trying to talk,
each other down. The minister raped, but
this and his oft-repeated cries of "Set down.

From the discounted expressions of the now
excited stewards it was evident that the ma

tried frantically to read protest from the

seeing that his side was in a large minority,

Husbands and Wives.
[John Ploughman.l


A good husband makes good wife. Some
men can neither do without wives nor with
them; they are wretched alone in what is
called single blessedness, and they make
their homes miserable when they get mar
ried; they are like Tompkins' dog, which
could not bear to be loose, and howled when
it was tied up. Happy bachelors are likely
to be happy husbands. and ahappy husband
is the happiest of men. A well matched
couple carry joyful life between them, as
the two spies carry the cluster of Eshcol. They
are brace of birds Of Paradise They null
tiply their joys by sharing them, and lessen
their troubles by dividing them; this is fine
arithmetic. The wagon of care rolls lightly
along as they pull together, and when it
drags little heavily, or there's hitch any
where, they love each other all the more and
so tighten the labor.
