"Well, I would do almost any

hate the very thought of it."
"You are too high-toned, 'dimly,
altogether. But 1 would not ask
you to do it for any other man."
Helen Rodney wisan orphan, liv
ing with her uncle, the father of
Charles Forsyth, fot Whom she felt
all the love and tentlemessof a sister,
which affection was so warmly re
turned by him. although they had
never indulged in any cousinly flir
tations whatever; indeed, it had long
been a favorite scheme of hers, that
Minnie Hamilton, her school-girl
friend, should become her cousin's
wife. She felt quite convinced that
they were mutually attached, but
feared pride would keep them apart.
The next morning Charles was read
ing in his own room when he heard
Ellen's voice in the garden calling
him, and begging that he would
come down and See some strange
plant that had Just bloomed. "But
where is Miss Iniamilton?" he in
quired, after the flower had been
duly examined and admired.
"She went off riding on the white
pony."
"What, alone
"No; she intended getting Anna
Ripley to join her, their horses trot
so nicely Writhes.. ' but—oh, Char
ley, there comes the horse without
any rider. Minny must have been
thrown. Run—run and see."
He did not wait to be told, howev
er. but went off like the wind in the
direction that the horse had come,
while Helen ran Into the house to
indulge in a wicked laugh at her
cousin's expense. Then she sat down
to await the denouncement of the
adventure; growing very impatient,
however, as the moments passed
without either Charles or Minny
making their appearance. Finally,
however, to her utter amazement
and chagrin, she saw the latter drag
ging herself slowly up the hill upon
which the house was situated. She
ran out at once to meet her, her spir

caught the expression of the young

"What is the matter?" she cried;

"Why, Charles," she begat, in re

her foot very badly, and will be con
fined to her room, probably for sev

"Hurt, Helen ! did you ally that
she was hurt ?"
"01 course I did, and you left her
so strangely to crawl up herd all by
herself. She is very much Offended;
I assure you."
"Why, Helen, she laug hed in my

to make a fool of me."
"Girls generally laugh when they
are pleased."
"Don't beabsurd, Helen; 1'161 . 1 did

Minny took the rose, with 4 very
forgiving smile, notwithstanding her
recent protestations of unending hos

quite sure that sleep would soon
come now to refresh and strengthen
her. She was confined to her room,
however, for several days. .during
which Chitrles chafed and :fretted,
and scarcely. Aried. to hide his impa-

"Charley,, what is the iriatter7"
Helen asked one day. "I :-.believe

"Stop, Helen, stop—don't, repeat

"But tell me now, cousin; is it

"Yes it Is," he replied, earnestly;
"but I have not the slightest idea
whether she cares for me or snot. I
have a great mind to resort to strat

"Don't, don't, Charley," interrup
ted Helen, quickly.
"Why not, Helen?" ho asked,
looking up in some surprise.;
"Oh, because, because—make her a
good, honest. manly offer, and she
will respect you a great deal:more."
"But she may refuse me, Helen,
I could not endure—"
"There she comes; now do as I
tell you."
And she ran out of ono door as
Minny entered the other. It was
hard to tell which was the most em
barrassed of the two—but as Minny's
steps seemed very uncertaihilowing
to her lameness, of course,) 31harles
put his arm around her, mut for the
next ten minutes, he hardly knew
what he said or did, until Minn',
smiling up at him through her tears,

" Now indeed. I am proud." Then,
with many blushes, she told him all
about his cousin's little plot, fearing
greatly that he would be disgusted;
hut he only laughed, and said it had
ended very happily.

;upon the young children and half
'grown boys and girls, who are found
here in such numbers is, I think,
more hurtful. What, that is bad, is
not taught here? Everthing that
destroys the body and corrupts the
mind finds encouragement here.
Here the children are taught to dis
regard the hours of day or night; they
may retire at the close of the even
ing's hop If they desire; they may
rise and breakfast at noon if they
will. A life of idleness and indo
lence is always before them, not as a
warning, but as an example. Al
lurements to dyspepsia and slow de
struction are not wanting. Here cu
cumbers, And bananas, and ice cream,
and nuts, and raisins, and coffee for
your children, with greasy pastry
and unseasonable vegetables ad libi
tum; and in clothing they are taught
that paper-soled shoes are the proper
things Walk in on the wet beach;
that bare s. bare shoulders, and
unprotected neck, are sufficient to
resist the stiff night breeze, which
brings a chilling dampness to even a
stoutly-built adult in woolens. The
life here turns the minds of the child
Into unhealthy channels, for children
are permitted to see only the allure
ments of dissipation, not the realities
or responsibilities of life. Nothing
useful or instructive finds lodgment
here—life is as unreal and deceitful
as the ignis fatuus.
Yet I would not be taken as depre
ciating Long Branch. 1 regard it as
the most advantageous and delight
ful of the seaside resorts. but it is
against the tendencies of society that
lam railing. Long Branch is not
singular. The same social puzzle is
solving at Saratoga, Cape May and
Newport, and it is working itself
out across this broad sweep of water
which rolls before us. The result
ought to be of vital interest to all
who love their country and their spe
cies.
What is all this gloomy forboding?
Why this high pressure of excite
meat? Follow me and I will tell .
you, Let us take the subject of
dress, and come with me to the fine
Parlor of the West End hotel. The
Shadows of early night-fall were long
since obscured by the durkne, the
IMOlRrSairkirtz : .• ; .
air is deliciously cool, and the melo
dy of music.comes with a flood of
light from the open windows of the
parlor. The band plays a dreamy,
voluptuous waltz, and scores of grace
ful girls and women go skimming
over the floor. It is a gay scene.
The intermingling of colors is very
picturesque in effect, the willowy
grace of the slight figures here mid
there conspicuous, excites the adcni
ration, While the lookers-on of the
gentler sex present faces full of bright
ness and enthusiasm. Surely in all
this there is nothing remarkable. It
is merely a very pretty picture to
look at for half au hour. But scan
for a moment the raiment which
floats in such soft waves before your
eves, and you will see that there is
almost a fortune in every dress. It
is .not merely the handsome silk
dress and the rich lace collar and un
dersleeves which the well-to-do can
afford for his wife and daughter,with
a nice gold otcoral neck chain and
locket, anti perhaps a modest set of
diamond earrings. It is rather a pat
tern of silk which of itself is a work
of art, and the product of nobody
knows how many weeks of hard and
anxious labor. The embroidery
around the bottom was wrought
with suffering fingers in France.
None can tell how many months of
privation and misery it could reveal
if it had the power of articulation.
The covering of lace looks old and
yellow, you think, but notice its soft
ness, its delicacy. Dues it not look
as delicate and fragile as a spider's
web? My friend, that white over
dress would buy you a ,farm that
would support you and your wife
and children in comfort. Still the
figures go floating by, and when that
dress and overdress pass you again
just notice the diamonds in the ears
of the wearer. Yes, fair lady, they
are as big as your thumb-nail, and
they are, you may trust; of the finest
water. If our young friend had just
those two diamonds he could start a
national bank to-morrow. If the
young clerk in the store up town had
the rings which adorn that fair white
hand which rests so easily on her
companion's shoulder, and the jewels
that shine on that round neck, he
could start in business for himself.
This, mind you, is but one lady
among the hundred now in this
room, and this is but one of her cos
tumes. This is not a fancy sketch..
There are a dozen ladies in the room
who vie with her.
That lady of inflnate grace, whose
wavy gray hair surmounts a beauti
ful young face, fair and well cut, and
sensitive in every line, has solitaires
scarcely to be matched in the coun
try. They are not ostentatious, but
as she reclines easily on the sofa it is
easy to imagine that they are the
proper ornament for that face. Her
hands are small and round, but they
are covered with big diamonds,
which, say what you will, is a dese
cration of God's beauty. Can any
thing be more beautiful than a small,
white, round hand, perfect in its
mold ? And is it not an outrage to
conceal, even with diamonds, its fair
lines? Her dress is ofdark Material,
but also is covered with lace and em
broidery.
That dress near the window, of in
describable green, is still more ex
travagant. Its great value is in the
making, and in the destruction of
material. The lace over-dress above
alluded to will last a lifetime if care
fully used, and may be handed down
as a rich heirloom to coming gener
ations, but this green silk will be
worthless and east aside a month
hence. Its scollops, its bindings, its
patch-work, its bits of embroidery on
tabs and loops and small pieces of
silk, will pass for nothing when the
first Roman punch is spilt on it.
This dress is a marvel of patience.
Queen Catharine, with all her skill
and patience at embroidery, could
never have achieved such a success.
No dresses are to be seen in this par
lor to-night that are not extravagant;
and although it must seem an exag
eratlon. and doubtless it is,it never
theless appears to me that there is
more than two quarts of diamond
jewelry on theladles here assembled.

I saw on the piazza yesterday, while
the city church bells
_were telling of
the meekness of our Saviour, a little
girl scarcely able, to toddle, and her
dress was nothing but a cloud of the
most costly lace—so old and rare,that
it seemed as if its history would go
back as far as the Ptolemies. The
ball-room is not the only place where
this dangerous extravagance is seen.
At the breakfast table; with several
hundred guests seated, there is al
ways a brilliant constellation of gems.
They flash from the ears of the la
dies, they sparkle on the hand, they
glisten at the throat, and they shine
on gentlemen's shirt-fronts. Why
will ladies persist in wearing dia
monds in the morning? If they
would only stop a moment and con
sider, they would see that they are
no more appropriate than a decollete
waist or a lace shawl would be at the
breakfast table.
While such prodigality exists
among the women, what is Its effect
on the coming generation—the boys
and girls who are to people the earth
after those now here have passed
away ? Every man with a moderate
income has keenly felt that the
tendency of the women of to
day is to unbridled extravagance ;
that dress is the ruling feature with
a majority of those who go into what
is called society, and that, although
a woman may be never so frugal, she
yet does not want to be seen so plain
ly dressed that she would attract at
tention at the opera, the theater, the
party or the street. There is no lim
it to the standard. Yon must either
find a lower plane to which you have
never been accustomed, and above
which you are in, in point of intel
ligence, experience, or intellect, or
you must stay at home perpetually.
What - vices does this profligacy in
dress lead to? How many husbands
are groaning under the heavy load
of their wives' extravagance.o How

crime to place such an example be
fore children, to impregnate their
little brains with ideas of comparison
of raiment, as though that was the
one chief object in livihg? What is
to be the effect on the family of mod
erate income? Debt and disgrace, or
the shutting of the door to the
world.
From careful observation of near
ly a month at the most fashionable
hotel at the Branch, I give it as my
deliberate opinion that persons in
moderate circumstances cannot come
here with satisfaction to themselves,
if they are finely organized and of
sensitive temperament—l refer of
.:nurse to families, to ladies. You
may have the desire, you may have
the capacity of enjoyment, you may
have the organization that could not
be satisfied with inferior accommo
dations which a less luxurious hotel
would furnish, you may even have
the means which you could afford to
expend for the mere hotel accommo
dations, you may be perfectly able to
pay five dollars a day fora month,
you may have and may feel all this,
but if you haven't fhe money to dress
with extreme extravagance, you will
not be contented. If you do not
make comparisons, others will, and
the whole tendency is bad and mis
chievous.
What young man in modest cir
cumstances, with honest prospects
ahead of him, dares to rnarry? What
encouragement is there for him to do
so? These evils are of a single birth:
idleness, indolence, extravagance
and selfishness; and these are taught
at fashionable hotels, at fashsonable
watering-places, by fashionable wo
men. Comfort is sacrificed to 'dis
play, and all the better impulses of
the human mind are trodden upon
and kicked aside because Mrs. Pom
egranate has finer diamonds and
finer silks than Mrs. Persimmons.
This is the lesson of wateringzplaces.
Percy Ramsden's Ladder.
Percy Ramsden enjoyed the un
enviable notoriety of beir,g called
and considered one of the 'most tire
some lads in the world." But
whether. strictly speaking, he merit
ed that title, or whether the• phrase
was used by his par is merely as a
figure of speech to exiitress their deep
sense of Percy's shortcomings, we
will leave our readers to decide for
themselves after pertising what fol
lows:
"Now Percy," said Mr. Ramsden,
on the evening of the day his son
left school for the holidays, 'l've got
a few words to say to you, and I
hope you'll listen very nttentiuely." -
Expecting to be "hlown up" for
something he had done and forgot
ten. Percy stared in dogged silence
at the fire-grate.
"We are just beginning another
year," continued his father, "and
God knows you've given mother and
me trouble enough during the last.
But we mean to make a change
.hortly, my boy, and Lwatkt to pre
pare you for it. "
Again Mr. Ramsden paused, and
his son would have said "all right,"
only he thought he had better not.
"Do you know how old you are?"
So abruptly was the question ask
ed, that some seconds elapsed before
Percy could answer it.
"No—yes—l think I'm fourteen,
father, last birthday."
"And when was last birthday ?"
"OctOber the twenty-fourth."
"Well, now, between you and me,
Percy, don't you fancy that, as an
honest, healthy, Intelligent youth,
over fourteen years of age, it's time
you were beginning to do something
for yourself?"
Determined to.be on the safe side,
if possible, Percy answered, "Yes,
father."
"And what trade would you like
to learn?"
Trade?—trade ?—such an idea had
never entered Percy's head, so all
that he could say was that he "didn't
know."
"Then you must think, and we'll
talk again on the matter."
"Very well, father."

. "But, there isone thing I. mast tell
you.'! added Mr. Ramsden, "which
is, that whatever trade you choose to
follow . , you will either have to mount
a cert ain ladder' or stay at the hot
tor or

continued his father; "and when
you, put your foot . on the , lot
roma), try and remember - that
'where there's a will there's a way.'
and that 'what, has:. once been done
can bodone again.'"
"I'vo written those words in my
eoppy-books many a time," mid
Percy.
"Yea,: but, I want you to act them,
in your liter ; so - don't . forget what
I've said i because 1 have spoken
mainly for .your own good."
Some few months after their first
conversation on the subject of work, ,
Percy Kamsden and his father again
discussed the mementos question,
and it was finally decided that Peres ,
should be bound apprentice to
ca6lnet-maker. •
"But I don't quite undendaud:-
abottt, the ladder, -yet, Zither," he
souk; when silted been settled—r.
• "USD dam while I make It ea
'Ado as I . can," rejoined Mr. 14ms
den, pleased to find that his' words
were not forgotten. "I called-it, jr
you reeedleet, the' ladder of success,
did I Pa?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Well, this same ladder is placed
by Providence within the 'reach of •
every.youth in the country. I 'do
not say that all poor boys may make
themselves rich men, but Ido say
that they become useful, intelligent
and happy members of society.
Now when yon go to world; Percy,
you will begin at the bottom of the
ladder, after which your progress
will depend upon yourself—how you
think and act, and the sort Of habit
you form, and the kind of life you
lead. If you are steadfast in faith,
truthful in conduct, and diligent in
business, you will grow up a real
Christian and clever workman ; if
you are thoughtless, idle, and vi
cious, your time will be spent to
little purpose. Well, supposing—as
I trust will be the case—you make
the best of your chance—and try to
live honest and purely beforeall men
that will be mounting the ladder of
succecs. For though worldly people
spell success with £ s. d., the getting
of money is no proof that a man, has
done well. On the contrary, many
make themselves rich and wretched
at the same time. In their neighbors'
eyes they have got to the top of the
ladder, but in the sight of God they
are groveling miserable at the bottom
and why ? Because happiness—not
riches--is the end and, aim of all
Christian life. We are here only a
few years, to prepare for a world
where goodness counts as everything
and money nothing. Do you under
stand me g."
Percy scratched his head - and an
swered in the affirmative. ,
"Well, then, what I have to add
is," continued his father, "get rich if
you can by all fair and right means,
but never sacrifice moral principle to
physical profit. Never do a mean or
dishonorable action for the sake of
gain, because whatever the amount
of such gain may be, it will have to
be left behind, while your meanness
will go with you into eternity. To
be temperate, honest, pions and in.

marks an upward step in the climb

say no more, but leave you to think
for yourself."

Seven years had elapsed, and Per
cy Ramsden had given his mother
the first week's wages— two golden
sovereigns—he had received as a
journeyman cabinet-maker. Mr.
Ramsden, too, was present, and his
lace showed plainly how much he
* thought of the good son who had al
tered so greatly. Whatever Perry
I had been in his boyhood, he could
not now be called a "tiresoma lad,"
for he had grown tall, strong and
manly, and his mind had been am
ply furnished with good sense.
Their evening meal over, the
young workman went up stairs and
came back in .a few minutes witn
something in his^hand and a pleas
ant smile on his face.
"Now can you tell one whht this
is?" he said, looking knowingly at
his father, and unrolling a piece of
twine from a wooden peg and fasten
ing one end of it to a hook near the
"No indeed I can't Percy unless
It's the tail of a kite."
"It seems very like
.one," added
Mrs. Ramsden ; "but you never mean
to begin flying kites, now, Percy?"
"No, mother; it's not what you
take it for. "I'm only going to blow
my own trumpet a bit." -
"Why, it's less liken trumpet than
anything." said Mr. Ramsden.
"Well," rejoined the young man,
with a quiet laugh, "it cerarinly re
sembles what you've milled it; but I
will now tell you what it is." De
taching the first piece of paper from
the string, Percy unrolled it, and
said, "this is my ladder—Percy
Itamstlen':s ladder—and ifyou'll pear
me, I'll unite each of these ii,cpers,
or 'steps,' and read them to you."
This proposal both astonished and
delighted Mr. and Mrs. Rarescien.
This history of seven years' self-de
nial, temptation to be wise was writ
ten on those bits of paper tied cross
wise on that piece of twine; and the
simple words •in which the young
cabinet-maker had chronicled his
triumphs and failures, drew smiles
as well as sighs from his listening pa
rents. And when he came to the
last of his curious "ladder," his father
sprang from his seat, slapped him on
the shoulder, and exclaimed, t'l wish
Percy, from the bottoin of my heart,
that every father's son werelike you
to-night."
