A woman, trembling with weariness,
and nearly discouraged with ill-success,
stands anil looks ruefully down on the
shirt she is ironing, when a new train
of thought arrives, and she mu.f heed
its voice. "Why are bhirts made with
ruffles and plaits and ttitehing and
puffs ? and why are they starched aud
ironed with such infinite trouble T Is a
bian any more or less a man, because of
the ornamental shirt front which fashion
.lic-tate? Which is the uglier, a plug
hat or a atarched shirt? aud would not
either of them suit a Feejee Islander
better than a civilized man? I shall
endeavor to prove the shirt to be a great
promoter of Inng disease and censump-lio-i.
The ornamental part, which i"
ihf part to show, is mode of linen, and
just covers the vital organs in front.
'otVon is bad enough, but linen is cruel.
Then the dress, which should be made
to protect the breast, is left open one
third of the front, to display ornamental
needle-work and jewelry, and men go
backing around with hereditary con
sumption. Why not say an hereditary
love for display ? AjJ a" general thing,
men dress warmly and comfortably on
cold stormy day, when they go out,
iiul the moment they set foot iuside
their homes, about s;x or eight thick
nesses of woolen goods, and about one
tind one-half or two inches of cotton
wadding are laid aside, or turned back
to display the shirt It is not at all
necessary that a shirt should be seen,
then how much labor would be saved
lo woman. It has never yet been my
fortune to know a woman who could
ca her husbcud's shirt right. Among
the s-ary earliest recollections of my
childhood, arises a ghost of a shirt with
its button off, or too for back, or too
far front ; iu collar always too stiff, or
too limp the one big bugbear of the
tash tab, and the one thing that could
cot be put off till another day, in case
jf aickneas or trouble. Then," whoever
uiad a shirt right? For my part, I
have never seen one that proved to be
right. And where is the m.ed of perfec
tion in au undergarmeut, if it be clean
.ad whole? Men suffer from exposing
their persons to display a shirt, and
women gaffer from anxiety and fatigue
and unnecessary labor in preparing it.
Would not the cause of humanity be
promoted by wearing a plain garment,
without ornament or starch, and devo
ting the time usually spent on 6hirts,
to a careful study of the laws of health ?
Thus one or two ot coaauuiption's causes
would be done away.
Keeping Fnitta.
Hir William S apier was one day taking
a long country walk, when he met a
little girl about five years old sobbing
over broken bowL Hhe had dropped
and broken it, iu bringing it back from
the field to which she had taken her
father's dinner, and said she would be
beaten on her return home for having
broken it As she said this, a sudden
pleam of hope seemed to cheer her.
She innocently looked np into Sir Wil
liam's face and said : "But yon can
mend it, can't you?" He explained
that be could not mend the bowl, but
the trouble be could overcome by the
.rift of a sixpence to bny another.
However, on opening bis purse it was
empty of silver, and he promised to
meet his littba friend on the same spot
tit the saiao hoar next day, and to bring
sixpeuee with him ; bidding ber mean
while tell ber mother sho had seen a
gentleman who would bring her the
ftuiucy for a bowl next day. The child,
entirely trusting him, went on her way
comforted. On his return home he
found au invitation awaiting him to
dine in Batli the following evening to
meet some one whom he especially
wiabi! to see. He hesitated for some
little time, trying to calculate the possi
bility of giving the meeting to bis little
friend of the broken bowl and still being
in time for the dinner party in Bath,
Put finding this could not be, be wrote
to decline accepting the invitation, on
the plea of "a previous engagement,"
Baying, "I cannot disappoint her ; she
rusted me."

explicit. "I bequeath my entire estate,

The Missies Chirrup and Chirk were
too distantly related to tbe testator to

waa aa much as either bad a right to

earnestly protested asainst.
An elderly maiden aunt came to live
with the two young ladies, and the
household remained unbroken. Except
the changes caused by the vacancy in
their home, the lives of Ruth and Millie
! ....: i .... i...f,..
wuuuucu a uriviri
It was not till the cousins bad resumed
their places in society that Millie began
to notice the difference made by her
altered prospects. It was Ruth now,
and not herself, that was the centre of
attraction, . . .
To be rid of tbe common herb of fops,
j and to be mi longer pestered by their
silly flattery, .Millie felt waa g thing to
be thankful for. Rat when Orville
Ryors turned bis back npon her, and
joined tbe ranks of ber consiu's admir
ers, she must have been other than a
woman not to feel it.
Mr. Ryors was the pet lieau of Bil
lingdald. Handsome in person, accom
plished in manners, and of fosoinating
address, he was not one whose atten
tions were likely to prove distasteful in
any quarter, and when they were directed
toward Millie Granger in a manner suf
ficiently marked to excite no small de
gree of envy, we need not be surprised
if, instead of repelling, she just a little
encouraged them.
It would have rf quired a closer analy
sis than Millie had ever made of her
feelings to show her how little she really
cored for Mr. Royers, and how much
she cared for Arthur Warren, whom
she had known and liked since they had
played and, sometimes, quarreled to
gether in childhood. Rut Arthur's self
examination had gone deeper. He de
votedly loved Millie, and kntw it. If
he had never said so outright, it was
from motives of delicacy, prompted by
tbe difference of their positions. She
was a prospective heiress ; he was with
out fortune, and void of expectations,
save those whose realization depended
on hiuaself. - - -
Having never spoken out, it may be
that Arthur Warren bad no right to feel
aggrieved by the attentions paid by Mr.
Ryors to Millie, ne should have re
membered that young gentlemeu who
j have nothing to say for themselves are
! not privileged to stand in the way of
' others who have.
! But Arthur was not reasonable.

Ryors, without a word of explanation
' as to what coucern it was of hi if she
! married that gentleman the next day.
I Xow Millie was a girl of spirit. She
i not only refused to decline Mr. Ryors
attention at the nnwarrantabb) Uicta
' tion of Arthur, but received them with
! rather more encouragement than before.
I People began to say it would be
I match soon, and it might Lave beeu,
j bad not Millie's nncle died. For Mr.
j Ryors, as we have said, was a very at.
j tractive person, and Millie bad not srifli-
ciently scrutinized her heart to be aware
j that her chief interest in him sprang
i from the pleasure of having triumphed
j where ao many others had failed, and a
disposition to assert ner own wiiL
When Arthur Warren left his native
village without so much aa calling to
bid her good-bye, Millie cried a little,
without well knowing why, and that
evening went to a ball with Orville
Ryors, and was among tbe gayest of the
gay. It is very likely she would then
and there have accepted Mr. Ryors,
bad he said tbe word, just to show how
little she cared for Arthur Warren.
The grief that Millie felt at her nnole's
death for a season overshadowed all
other thoughts. But when time at
length had ao tempered her sorrow that
her life began again to flow in its accus
tomed chaunel, it was not with a little
chagrin that she beheld tbe man whose
attentions had beeu lately so devoted
to her that people began to couple their
names significantly, turn and follow her
fortune instead of herself.
Millie knew now how little she bad
ever cared for Orville Ryors ; but would
others understand it? The thought
stung ber past endurance. And the
meanness of him who thus humiliated
ber scarce exceeded in her eyes that of
her cousin Rutb, who permitted, in
stead of spurning bis advances.
In tbe bitterness of her heart, Millie
resolved to quit ber oousin's abode, and
make her way to the great city, trusting
that where so many live there mnst be
many ways of getting a living, some of
which would be open to her.
She had been liberallv supplied with
money during ber uncle a lifetime, aud
bad husbanded enough to meet the ex
penses of her journey, and, for a time,
her living. So one day, without a word
to any one, she secretly packed her
trunk, caused it to be cnuveyed to the
railway station, and took the traiu for
Xew York.
The day and night her journey lasted
was one of alternate hopes and misgiv
ings. At times she would have fain
turned back, but when she thought of
tbe jeering tongues behind her, her
eyes would flash through her tears, and
though her lips quivered, her heart
would again become firm and resolute.
Millie bad never seen the city before.
IU din and bustle confused her. Sur-
rounded by importunate haekmeu and
hotel runners quick to perceive her in
experience, she found herself at last,
without her own volition, seated in a
carriage whose driver undertook to
convey ber to the Kickshaw, the best
house in the city, be assured her, though
it had not a very inviting look, Millie
thought, as the carriage stopped in
front of it.
"Your fare. Miss, said the . driver,
jam ping down "five dollars you know. "
It was not the extortionate demand
that brought a troubled look over the
girl's face: j Tutting her hand into her
pocket, she found ber ' money had dis
appeared. Hhe searched everywhere,
butiu vain, titie had doubtless been
robbed in the crowd after leaving the
train. A feeling of hopeless terror over
came her at the thought of being there,
a total stranger, without a cent in the
world.
Iu a trembling voice Millie explained
her situation.
"That, dodge won't do. said tbe
driver.
"So. it wou't do." added a frowsy-
lookiug clerk, who made his appearance

"Well, I declare 1" uttered shrill
voice uoue other than Miss Chirrup's,
who, without Millie's knowledge, had
00 rue to live iu tbe city, aud who chanced
to bo passing at the time. ,:)
Matters were rfdon explained, m3 Miss
Chirrup, who had the kindest of hearts,
invited her relative borne with her ; and
Arthur, having paid the driver his just
due. called another carriage, aud es-
courted the ladiea to their ilMBtiuatuiu.
He called round that evening and s.ioke
his mind to .Millie. And .Millie found
out she bad always loved him. Aud
Arthur explained that it was only the
difference iu their former prospects that
had kept him silent. '
And Millie said she wouldn't care to
be riah if it wasn't ' for his sake. And
Arthur said he was glad she wasu't rich,
and added that he was earuiug a salary
that two could live on comfortably.
And, in short, the two lovers were as
happy as heart could desire.

Kdneation of Worn u.
Commenting npon the fact that not
one woman was saved on the fated At
lantic, although many bad the tame
chance of life as the men, an exchange
says : "Tbe strength of women at tbe
crises of their life depends on their
physical culture while children. Let
parents be no more ashamed of their
girls' brown faces aud fists than of their
boys'. Let them train and clothe them
so that they cau ran and climb aud
care for and protect themselves. Let
them take them with their brothers into
the harvest field. A boy is not ashamed
of work ; no more should be a girl.
The refinement that shuts a girl out of
God's sunshine, and allows her uo
rougher work in-doors than to embroi
der worsteds, or tap ivory keys, or dust
a marble mantel, is refining her off of
the face of the earth to give place to
the daughters of tha servants of tho
kitchen."

While Geneva is mourning over the
remains of the Duke of Brunswick with
a grief which finds consolation only in
the legacy leq neat bed to ber by the
departed 'prince, the City of Carlisle,
Scotland, haa found a little Duke of
Brunswick of her own, whose bequest
in her favor, although not so magnifi
cent as that of the Duke of Brunswick
to Gneva, is sufficiently large to call
forth ber utmost feelings of gratitude to
her posthumous benefactor. It seems
that a certain Mr. Edward Stuart Wil
son, who in 1855 fell into trouble by
committing forgery, and was sentenced
to transportation for twenty years, bnt
was subsequently released on a ticket-of-leave,
has left to the corporation of
Carlisle the sum of SoO.OiK) for building
a new town hall, and 915,000 for erect
ing a re rod on in Carlisle Cathedral, be
sides other legacies, amonnting in all to
about 750,000.

If a convalescent may be monarch of
all be surveys as be lies in bed, there
re cases in which a man may be the
(lave rather than tbe sovereign in that
kingdom of Sleepy Hollow. Rossini
furnishes a case iu point. Just sixty
years ago, in 1X13, he lodged in a worst

flung himself back, with an "Al diavolo

Tbe vein, however, was exhausted ; bis

After a little while, the friend inquired

indigenous to foreign soil, and intro
duced in the cotton States, is the Peru
vian. It is tall and well limbed, but
yet destitute of the faintest sign of
blooms. This cotton does not bloom

In Chicago the street cars are about
being used as adjuncts to the post
office. For this purpose, the postal
authorities propose to place iu all the
cars passing near the post office, boxef
for the reception of letters. These will
tie so arranged that the letters can be
deposited without entering or stopping
the car ; and on arriving at the office,
the carrier will remove the box and put
an empty oue in its place. By this plan
people along the lines can deposit their
letters at any hour, knowing that in a
short time they will be at tbe general
I office for transmission ; while nnder ex-
isting arrangements, the lamp post
I boxes cau be emptied only at stated
hours, and a considerable time may
! elapse Wfore the carrier arrives at his
i destination.
