A Word About Household Art.

Some time since I paid a visit TO u
lady acquaintance in the city of Wash
ington, let us say. The house in which
she lived was Of dimensions suited to
small family. The parlor was fur
nished or SO, at least, its mistress fam
, cled-in accordance with the latest
lights in household arts. There was a
rug on the floor; the furniture was as

could desire; there were heavy draper

the room contained besides, cabinet,
mantel lambrequin, screen, candle.

and more things of the same "school ,"
than could note; and all within the
space of fifteen feet square. l silently
inquired what was the motive of all
these innovations. The drsperies shut
out needed light and air, and robbed
the room utterly of that spaciousness
which should be to every parlor, even
a small one, wLat the arch of heaven is
to the outdoor world the suggestion of in

the cabinet held nothing of value, the
decorated candles were never lighted,
and the antique furniture was very I'M
comfortable. 1t was room on whose
walls one might emblazon the word

falsehood. Everything which the mod

no other. Not one of these things, in

any other reason for being than that

No Use.

There is no use in putting up the
motto, a "God bless our home" if
the father is rough old bear, and the
spirit of discourtesy and rudeness is
taught by the parents to the children,
and by the older to the younger. There
is no use ir putting up motto, " The
Lord will PROVIDE" while the father is
shiftlcss, the mother is shiftless, the
boys refuse to work, and the girls busy
themselves over gewgaws and tiuery.
There is no use in putting up the motto,
"The greatest of these is charity"
while the tongue of the backbiter wags
in that family, and silly gossip is dis
pensed at the tea.table. There is no
use in placing up conspicuously the
motto, "The liberal man deviseth lib
eral things" while the money chinks in
the pockets of "the head of the house
hold" grooming to get out to see the
light of day, and there are dollars and
dimes for wines and tobacco and other
luxuries, but positively not one cent
for the church. In how many homes
are these notices standing sarcasms,
which serve only to point jest and
adorn satire? The beauty of quiet
lives, of trustful, hopeful, free handed.
free.hearted, charitable lives, is one OF
SURPRISING loneliness, and those lives
shed their own incompatible fragrance,
and the world knows where to find
them The Presbyterian.

fun, but the boys little thought they
were running their heads square against

ancient rig carried the mail from Mid

were arrested for" obs'ructing the Uni.
ted States mail, when they only thought
they were fooling with the rustiest kind

ingly wide. The conviction dawned
upon them that they had narrowly es-

and traitors and conspirators Of the

small rebellion against this great gov

under suspended sentence, when they
really believed they would be sus-

obstruct the United States mail again.

to throw them. While he was talking,

"Dend Beat" Directory.

Sixteen hundred people attended an
indig alton meeting at Phiiiip'a Opera
House, Richmond, lud., on Saturday
evening, that was called TO give expires
sion to the feeling OF the public in re-
gard 10 the recent publication OF a
Dead Beat Directory, containing nearly
3 600 names, by the merchants of the
city. Speeches were made by Judge
Bsokle, the Hon. John Ysryan, May or
Bennett, the Hon. william Baxter, aud
others, and a series Of resolutions were
adopted censuring the business men in
upmeasurea terms. Mr.. Baxter was
driven from the stage for advising mod
Grafton. The directory contains the
ames OF some OF the beat paying m n
in the city, and of men who have been
de ad for years. The oensure rightly
belongs to but few merchants rather
than to the whole nambnr, but all
have to suffer for the mistakes Of the
few.
