HOMES REDUCED BY DRESS.
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

Always attend to checking your
self. 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

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.

Soft soap, when made of pure ma

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
