Only tlioso women who lmvc not the money to " dress" can fully appreciate) tho weight which society ruthlessly Leaps upon this difmbility. To bo un. blo to " dross" Is to be treated with almost disrespect in tho enr, the boat, at the public gathering, the street, aud tho shop ; to be ignored ; fo feet tho shrug of contempt, tho sneer of levity, and the sinilo of scorn ; to be thrust aside, to bo laughed at, to be uncere moniously displaced, to be cruelly driven out of good society, to have your heart, your intelligence, your thoughts, your virtuo, your character, held as nothing against silk; to bo stung, to bo outraged, to be proscribed, to bo Insulted; all this and much more for tho lack of money to " dress." It matters not whethor this rulo of society is right or wrong, the fact re mains to blight and ruin. The fashion able lady thinks nothing of paying $75 tor making a dress, made up of forty yards of silk, at from $4 (o $10 per yard. These are the women who rulo tho street, drawing-rooms, theatres dare we say churches ? After such tho lesser lights pattern. Whnt de fence have tho girls who work for from $4 to $10 per week against this array ? The rich ran bo ftishioiiablo, Ihe poor cannot bo by honest means. The poor industrious shop girl looks upon even $50 dresses, and they aro bej-ond her reach. There is a $10 gulf betwecu her and thrui between her and the respect and attention of society. Her virtue will span the chasm. She long to lift the load of poverty, to receive the caress of society, to bo freed from bondage. She sells herself to hell for dress. After the first step is taken, it is not long before all useful labor is eschewed, and the foul vice made to be tho only service of income. This is no picture, but what happens every day, and is a plniu Etiitemcnt of how the recruits to brothels urn made. This mania lor "drops'' is devastating our American women to an iilurniing ex tent. Tho wives and (laughters of the rich men who lead society in this fear ful raco of extravagance tire respon sible for a great share of tho prostitu tion which curses tho nation, as well as for thousands of business failures, scattered families, and the long train of miseries among us under the cover of "keeping up appcnrnujes." Let thoBo who have the courage take this lesson aud act upon it. Exetiangc. k WoiuaiTs Counsel to Women. "Shirley Dure" gives some useful hints to women in these paragraphs : Does a woman deserve respect who calls tho work of her sex drudgery ? There are women who always speuk of it by that mime, but they are usually inferior aud underbred women who writo about "musses" and " messes" for print, prigs or guys of tho feminine gender, tircsomo in so ciety, egotistic at homo. Thcso aro tho class who complain of cramped facul ties aud heavy burdens, whose time and ability are too precious to waste in seeing that the soup Is piquant, or the shirts well aired. They bring out " last articles" in manuscript to amuso particular friends, and converse, in a topical way, unconscious what a stuffy odor pervades their rooms, or how shockingly matched all the colors of their furniture may be. I do not speak of tho women who neglect their houses either for study or society, but of those lialf-scnsiblo women who perform commonplace duties in a grudging, disdainful way, nil the time feeling that they waste, to use their formula, "abilities which might be so much better employed." They dust rooms, and mend clothes, and bake cake, mul call this house wifery, and say the noblest calling of women means no such frivolous pre tense, but work genuine aud compre hending washing of dishes aud ket tles, scouring of tinware, and blacking stoves, paring of potatoes and putting on of coal ; in short, tho whole horrid round iudispeusablo to bright houses and good fare. Many women may not be called on to do thcso t hings, but .every woman, princess or peasant, ought to know how they should bo done, and havo dexterity and practice enough to do them. This is woman's province, which all gentlewomen should lciirn, just as men of rank learn the science o( war, till they know how much saud goes. o 4 charge, of gun powder, and how much labor goes to squaring earthworks- Many people are saying this over in ditlerent ways George Eliot mid licorgo Sand in directly, in their heroes and heroines, Who are never, by uny possibility, afraid of the meanest labor; Mis.

If you foci liko swearing at the baggage-master, check yourself. If you havn't a trunk full of clean clothes to check, you at, least should be adequate to a check shirt. When you vacato your seat for a moment, leave a plug hat in the scat. Some 0110 will come along and sit on it, thereby preventing your hat from being stolen. Passengers ' cannot lay over for another train without making ar rangements with the conductor. If a man has been on a " train" for a week or so, no conductor should allow him to lay over for another on any account. Ladies without escort in traveling should bo very particular with whom they become acquainted. They needn't bo so particular with those with whom they aro acquainted. Keep your head and arms inside the car windows, if you would keep your head and " carry arms." Never talk on polities ; It encourages soino "nimshi" to tako a vote of the passengers. No gentleman will occupy more than 0110 scat at a timo unless he be twins. 1 A gentleman should not spit tobac co juico In the cars where there are ladies. Ho can let drive out of the car window while the train is at a station, if the platform is crowded. Always show your ticket whenever the conductor asks for it. If you get out of humor about it, don't show it. Never smoko in a car where there aro ladies. Get tho conductor to turn the ladies out before lighting your eignr. Never use profane language in the cor. Go Out on tho platform. Pro fanity is never thrown away on a brakcinan. , If you cannot sleep yourself do not disturb tho " sleepers." Look out for pickpockets. Pick pockets nro never in tbo. car, you know, as you havo to look out for them. .Provide yourself with sleeping berths before starting. No careful man will start out on a journey with out a good supply of sleeping berths. N. B. Thoso put up in flat bottles are the best, as they are easily carried in the pocket. Always bo at the railroad station in good time to. take tho train. Better be an hour too early than a minute too late, unless you aro on your way to be hanged. Fat Contributor's Sat' Urday Night. Little Things. Little words, not eloquent speeches nor sermons ; little deeds, not miracles nor buttles, nor 0110 great act of mighty marlydom, make up the true Christian life. Tho little constant sunbeam, not the lightning; the waters of Siloam, " that go softly" on thoir meek mission of refreshment, not tho waters of the river "great and mighty," rushing down in torrent, noise aud force, are the true symbols of a holy life, The avoidanoo of little evils, little sins, littlo inconsistencies, little weaknesses, little follies, littlo indiscretions and imprudences, little foibles, little indulgences of self and of tho flesh, littlo nets of indolence, of indecision, of slovenliness, or cow ardice, littlo equivocations or aberra tions from high integrity, littlo bits of wordliuess and gaycty, little indif ferences to the feelings aud wishes of others, littlo outbreaks of tcmpor and crossness, or selfishness, of vanity; the avoidance of such littlo things as these go far to mak 0 up at least tho negative beauty of a holy life. Aud then attention to the littlo duties of the day and hour in public transac tions, or private dealings, or family arrangements; to tho littlo words and tones, littlo benevolences, or for bearances, or tenderness; little self denials, Bolf-rcstraiuU, and self thought fulness; little plans of quiet kindness ami thoughtful considera tions for others; punctuality and method aud true aim in the ordering of each day, thcso are active develop ments of a holy life, the rich and di vine mosaics of which it is composed. What makes yon green so beautiful ? Not the outstanding peak, or stately elm, but tho bright sward which clothes its slopes, composed of innu merable blades of grass. It is of small things that u great life is made up; and ho who will acknowledge 110 life as great save that which is built up of great thinux, will find little in Bible t'huructers to admire or copy.

Irish Actors and Actresses. The Irish havo been extremely prolific in act orsof superior excellence. Quln and Macklin stood in tho front rank of tho histrionic art, and were excelled only by Garrick. BothMos sop and Sprauger JBarry wero actors whoso talents were honored with marked applause. Of famous aud beautiful octrosses, from the days of the brilliant Wofilngton, Ireland can boast several. Mrs. Clivo and Mrs. Abington were Irish; MUs Farren (afterwards Countess o' Derby) was daughter of a Cork apothecary, who dwelt in thoso "groves of tho "pool," celebrated by tho facetious Millikin ; Mrs. Glover, that most accomplished actress, whoso humor is thoroughly "racy of tho soil," was an Irish worn?"., Last of all, we can point to the pathetic andbsautiful O'Nel! the ornament of her profession and hor sex. Besides these, a whole list of secondary talents not to be spoken of with slight can be named, from tho days of Woodward to that of Hudson, as proving the success of Irish talent on the stage. It is as serted that Charles Kcan is a native of Waterford ; and it is believed that Ireland has a claim to one of his parents, as likewise in tho case of Ma cready, whoso father was an Irishman. It is worthy of remarks, that the greatest boast of the British stage, Garrick, was of French extraction, (Carriquo,) his grandfather having been the first of his family settled in England ; and certainly " Little Davy," in his cormorant vanity and prodigious ingenuity his perpetual sparkle, and social pleasantry was thoroughly a Frenchman. Suppleness and strength are the qualities most required for the stage. There must bo that plastic element which easily assumes a variety of forms, and there must exist in con junction with it, that extraordinary strength of frame which enables the actor to endure the arduous and pro traded fatigues ot tho profession The rarity of finding persons who unite muscuwr strengtn wit 11 mer curial volatility, is tho reason why there havo been bo few great actors. Tho great actor and tho great orator must each bo strong and sensitive ; and sturdhiess is seldom united with sensibility. Garrick had both qualities to a high degi ee ; so had Mrs. Siddous and Miss O'Neill. In tho Irish people generally there is a certain physical union of there opposlto qualities of strength and susceptibility : find in this respect they aro not unlike tho ancient Greeks, to whom divers writers have assimilat cd I heir pshyclio logical as well as physiological charac ter. Hence results tho number of eminent Irish actors aud actresses; aud to a similar cause might bo its digued the number of Irish orators. Fun From Our Exchanges.

Ho who betrays another's secret, be cause he has quarrelled with him, was never worthy of the, sacred name of friend ; a breach of kindness at one side will not justify a breach of trust on the other.

Men blush less for their crimes than for their weakness aud vanity. Sometime it requires 0110 tobc gen erous in order to accept gcnoroslty. To prcscribo physio for tho dead, nd vice to tho old, is tho same thing. Diogenes. " If Idleness dors not produco vie or malevolence, it commonly produces melancholy." " Let tho toast be, dear woman," as tho man said to his wife, when ho wanted to cat it all himself. Every real thought, on every real subject, knocks the wind out of some body or other, The door botweeu us and heaven cannot be opened, if that between tu and our fellow-men is shut. The following couplet from Topo is almost ns tf 110 as it is sarcastic: M The good, no doubt, are God, pecalih care. But who but God c.n te!l us wuu they aret " A nice person makes 110 difficul ties, Is never misplaced, is never fool- ' ishly affronted, and is void of nffecta- ' tions." According to a writer in Jilackwooit, every man who is not a monster, math ematician, or a mad philosopher, is the slave of somo woman or other. " I am not myself at all to-dav," said a bore to a wit. "No matter," was the reply ; " whoever else you may be, you're a gainer by the change." A gentleman in a cheap restaurant the other day was heard to give tho fearless order, Wuiter, lot that cheese move this way !'' " Driver, aro you running oil timo to-day ?'' asked a passenger in an onv nibus. "No, sir," was the keen reply, "wo aro ruuuiug for cash." 'The happiest of pillows," soys Per icles, "is not that which love first presses; it is that which death ha frowned on, aud passed over." " The verb to love," says a wicked French writer, " is an activo verb, which runs until it sinks exhausted Into the easy-chair of marriage.'' The mau who called for tea, at an ordinary eating house, " as strong as the kick of a mule," complains that ho got it " as weak as a good resolution." Baso ball is of much greater antiqui ty than is supposed. It was played in the Ark when the dove was "put out on a fly." . Man Is never wrong while he lives for others ; the philosopher who con templates from the rock is a less noble image than the sailor who strugglvs with tho storm. r A mau must be bolted aud sciewed to the community before he can work well for its advancement: and then there are no such bolts and screws as, children. Reecher. Soft soap, when made of pure ma terials, potash, and olive oil, is val uable for medicinal purposes ; somo kinds of skin disease, scab and ring worm may be much better cured by it than by the greasy ointments so often used, Tho latter not unfre quently aggravate the disease by cre ating dirt, while soft-soap tends to cleauliness. Sulphur is occasionally mixed with it to assist its curativa effect; but this should only be dona under tbo advice of a mcdicul prac titioner. Tho fashion ot utilizing one part ot the human body to repair nnothcr is extending. A young man in Waver 1 y, N. Y., had his foot mashed by a car, and a space of several Inches on the upper part sloughed off. Several pieces of flesh were taken off the mau' arm and planted on tho wound, somo two weeks ago. and have all " taken hold," and the foot is fast recovering. With all the characteristic energy of the people of this country. It is a, remarkable aud lumcntable fact that the children of thobc who havo raised themselves to social position and In fluence by their personal eliurts, al most invariably wasto what their parent accumulated. With superior advantages aud a bright prospect be fore them to occupy a higher placo than their prudent, persevering fa thers, they fall by vice uud duiputiou into neglect and absolute nothingness, Neglected opportunities is tho sin of thoso who imagine themselves some thing, when, ul tho end of a useless life, they discover themselves to btt nobodies, it is natural for parcnte to, hope, pray and labor for their children, with an ambition to h ave Die 111 use ful and prominent among men. But liccesMty alone develops power, aud honest devotion in the steady puisuit of a reputation above reproach, secures what tliJtiO who waste, their oppor tunities ucver obtaiu a good unme, I
