sally considered as the inferior sex,
physically, as is proven by the atten-
tiOns and cOndescensions to her COM
fort which are exhibited every hour
ON the street car, in public places of
amusement and instruction, and in the
drawing room. What pity that Eve
has SO degenerated physically as to be
unable to step into and out of buggy
or street-car, without the aid of
some one who wears pantalOOns. She
is continually borrowing the use of the
muscles of man, when the Bible says
she should be a help-mate to the man.
Seriously, however, the argument
is entirely in favor of the adoption of
the more sensible attire, and we will
hail with delight the coming of the
day when woman shall cease to humor
fashion, and shall muster up the cOur-
age to embrace (or be embraced by a

A FEARFUL RIDE.

| wonder how many of us stop to
think that we risk our former good
character, the respect of honest people,
the confidence of our friends, our own
self respect, disgrace our fathers, moth
ers, sisters. wife and children, and finally
ourselves risk our future prospects
and our liberty, and all to gain few
dollars easily.
Let us think it over and stop and ask
ourselves, is the gain worth the risk.
If all those things could be sold, and a
man should come to one of us and say
here is five hundred dollars, want you
to disgrace your parents and yourself,
l want your good name and your liberty,
we would laugh at him and call him a
lunatic. Yet when the devil comes and
offers us much less, and as an argument
assures us that if we are little sharp
we need not be caught, (Which is lie
for we are sure to be caught sooner or
later then we strike the bargain, and
why! Simply because we don't stop tc
consider the fearful risk.
Therefore [ say let us think it over
and | know that you will all unite with
me in saying that the few dollars was
not easily gained but many times har
der than if we had worked hard for it
And finally, hope that we may all come
to the conclusion before leaving thi
place, that if we want to enjoy life ant
liberty and live happily and at peac
with our fellow men, we must do righ
; and be honest. L. l..

respect. There is a further injury, too,
in destroying the natural individual
ism of character with which each man
and each woman should be endowed.
This destruction of lndividualiSm
takes away the charm of social inter
course. No wise man would try to
make all mankind upon the same
model, however admirable that in itself
might be. Even those who command
our highest veneratiOn we may not
wisely initiate IN every particular.
And yet to form mems minds on GER
tain set rules and observances has very
largely taken the place of instilling
correct principles as the basis of human
character, and then leaving each in
dividual life to develop those princi-
pies according to it's own fashion.
1t follows from these conclusions
that the work of legal restraint is nee
essarily much more restricted than is
commonly supposed. Laws are good
in their place. That place is chiefly
to prevent men from interfering with
each other, and thus insuring the full
lest development of each individual
life. AS men progress upward, these
legal restrictions become less import
ant, until finally the higher law Of love
supersedes them altogether. 1t is idle
for the law to tell the good man not tC
kill or injure his neighbor. The fact
that he loves his ,neighbor precludes
such injury, and this fact will in time
devise means for benetitting his neigh
bor as would be impossible if low
were not the inspiration of life

rank No young man will ever amount
to anything by sitting around deplor-
ing his luck which is what some do
when things don't go to suit them. Grit
and the genius to contrive and make
things go is what advances young men
in the world if they are worth higher

have not the grit or sand to go ahead

A HALT CALLED ON THE DOWN
WARD PATH.

The log that starts to roll from the
top of the hill, goes but slowly at first
but, constantly increases its speed un-
til the bottom is reached. 1t is thus
with the individual who, stepping from
the path of rectitude into that of sin,
passes down so gently at first that the
descent is scarcely perceptible. 1t mat
ters little, what particular vice has
tempted the victim, the transition has
been accomplished, and all the other
vices lie scattered along the path jump
ing forth here and there, like the "ignus
fatus' to lure to destruction. His
speed becomes so great that he fails to
notice the danger signal 'stop, danger
ous," which is inscribed on each vice
as it comes into view.
Fortunately however for us who are
confined here, we have been forcibly
kidnapped and carried away from the
road to ruin upon which we were so
blindly travelling, and placed in a safe
retreat, where we can mediate on the
past, and form good resolutions Tor the
future.
In this latter effort, we are greatly
assisted by that very pleasant little
visitor which comes to us in our cells
on each Thursday teeming with help
full words and good wishes; it comes
like burst of sunlight through the
dark rift Of clouds that surrounds us
bringing joy and cheer to many a sac
and heavily laden heart.

To exhibit his garments black as nlSnt!

OF sowing unrest in this calm land
Arousing the blood OF mandolin 6ana }sdn odo
To strike down the chords that nature mas maze,
AS nurse to art in ambuscade,

With eyes askant, from limb to limb
He lodges the questions put to him
OF how the world in barbarous days,
To mandolin players was made to DOW;
And gained soul in similar ways,
That darEly frOwn upon him now.
He winces little does this wise bird.

AN HONEST MAN.
Grant Would not Permit a Lie to be
Told in His Behalf.

Grant Would not Permit a Lie to be
Told in His Behalf.
He who merely knows right principles is not
equal to him who loves them.-CONFUCIUS.I
What a beautiful example of
honest man was General
Grant. No one who wishes to be as
nature intended him to be, can review
the life of Grant without admiring his
manly courage, honesty, loyalty, mod
esty and generosity to friend and foe,
and his biography is as free from
egotism or anything of like nature
that has ever been written.
1t is related of him that one day dur
ing his administration of the presi-
dency, and while he was very busily
engaged. a visitor was announced, and
an officer in attendance, knowing that
the President did not wish to be dis
turbed, instructed the servant to say
that he was not in. Happening to
overhear this the President turned
with a frOwn and exclaimed: 'Say
nothing of the kind, l do not lie my
self, and do not wish any one to do so
for me-
One of his political friends speaking
of his honesty gave utterance to the
somewhat enigmatical remark that
che was too densely TRUTHFUL And yet
sad to state he was rewarded for his
integrity in the not unusual way. He
was mercilessly swindled out of his
entire fortune and a greater part of
that of his family, nearly two millions
of dollars, and left without home,
or even a uniform in which to clOthe
his remains for burial. And even this
did not suffice, but the sum of one
hundred and eighty-seven thousand
dollars was paid over out of his estate
which he had afterward created, while
dying by inches, by work that was not
fully completed until four days before
his death.
Here is food for thought. Under
exising circumstances, can one be a
laborer and support himself and a
family, without shirking his work and
extending his job? Can one be pop
ular society man without glib tongue,
or a merchant dispose of his wares
without misrepresentation, or be a
politician without pulling wires, or
even minister Of the gosgel without
adding to or emitting a portion of
truth? Lawyers are out of the ques-
:. ton, though Ingersoll comes as near
!. being an honest one, as any l can think
' of at this moment.
Reader there remains one remedy

TROUSERS.
A Mirror Contributor Joins Issues With
Ellen Battelle Dietrich on the Bifur-
Gated Garment Question.

Gated Garment Question.
Bicycle riding, bathing, and a few
other pleasures of the present time,
have combined to bring to the notice
of the fairer sex the question of pro-
priety in wearing that much talked-of
article of clothing, the bifurcated gar
ment, called by the various names OF
trousers, breeches, and pantaloons.
The all absorbing topic is much dis
cussed today among the fashionable
clubs and sects, particularly in con-
nection with the popular pastlme OF
cycling. Fashion leaders contend that
the skirt must go. AS yet, it is only
dream, hope, a wish for something
better. Now when the germ of this
wish merges into more stable belief
or tirmer idea, and when this belief
natures to a settled conviction, we
may we'll look for change OF DRESS
The question will then dwindle to a
matter of taste, or to matter OF cour-
age. with the trembling sex. Even
now the agitation spreads to the daily
walking-garb, and threatens to demand
change there as well. No reason is
given why lady should be compelled
by the chains of custom to struggle
breathlessly against a good healthy
breeze which she should enjoy, or with
one hand vainly attempt to manage
wet skirts tapping about the ankles,
while with the other she frantically
clutches purse, parcel, and umbrella
or steadies hat that bears no re-
semblace to a hat This is the opinion
of Mrs. Ellen Battelle Dietrich, in the
Arena. The lady of today attracts un
willing and unwelcome attention tC
herself by her mode of dress, adding
uneasiness for her comfort, or the part
of the beholder, to her own difficulties
of locomotion. In Algiers, Morocco
and Tunis, the bifurcated garment i:
worn by the women today, and th'
modesty and delicacy of these wome1
remain unquestioned. They have los
nothing, while they have gained con
, venience and comfort. There are
half million of women engaged IL
3 agricultural pursuits in the Unite'
5 States, and three million more who ar
y employed in the factories and shops

NEVER BE DISCOURAGED.
True Grit is What Makes the Progress
of the World.

When you have any thing to do, do it
with all your heart. Half hearted peO-
pie never set the world on fire, when
you are in pursuit of an object or plan,
stick to it as long as there is anything
to hold fast to. 1t sometimes requires
lots of grit to stick to thing through
days, weeks, months and perhaps years;
but that is the only way to accomplish
anything valuable in this world. Does
a person ever become great scholar
without lots of grit. displayed often
even under the most discouraging cir
cumstances? If circumstances are not
to your liking, make them! All really
great statesmen, lawyers, doctors and
clergvmen have secured their high pO-
sitions mainly by the use of grit The
same may be said of all successful
merchants and business men of every
kind No rich man ever obtained his
money and property except by the use
OF grit. Grit is the main difference be-
tween them and the worlds failures
Bad luck will sometimes overtake the
best of men, but if they only have grit
in their composition they will generally
restore their positions and fortunes
and are often even better and wiser fol
their misfortunes. Under such circum
stances never think you are not half az
smart as some of your acquaintance
who do not get along, for smartnes
alone is not enough to make one sue
cessful. Some military men have sal(
that General Grant was not the smart
est soldier that ever lived but that n
owed his success to his grit, the fac
that he never lost heart but KEEP
pounding away under what oftel
seemed the most discouraging circum
stances. When one begins to feel half
hearted then it is time to pull yOursel
together and put your grit in the from
