JOHN'S WIFE.

A young wife stood with her bead* on ber brooin And, looking around the ltttle room, "Xothing but toll for ever, she saii, "Prom early morn till the light ha* fled. If you were only a merchant now, We newl not five by the sweat of your brow." Petting away, spoke shoemaker John:

We ue'er see well what we're standing on."

A lady stood by her husband's chair. And quietly ptuwed her hand o'er ber hair •"You ue»erhave time for me now:" she said, And a tear-drop ftl! on the low, bent bead. •"If we were only rich, my dear. With nothing to do from year to year But amuse each other—eh! dear me!— What a happy woman I xhouid iw!" -f Looking up from his ledger, »poke merchant

John:

"We ne'er see well what we're standing on."

A stately form, In velvet dr*+sed— A diamond gleaming on her breast •'Nothing bat toll for fa*hIon!" she said. "Till sometimes wl*h I were dead! If I could cast this wealth aside, And be once more the poor man's bride!" Prom UU e»wy chair spoke gentleman John

Wi? ne'er see wrll what we're standing on."

A WOMAN'S VOICE TO WOMEN.

The Dress Question—Down in the Dirt Again. St. I'eter quotes a very plain-spoken old proverb to i.lustratespiritual back sliding—about netting into the mire again which, if it were better suited to ears and ways polite, might not in aptly be taken at this moment as a text for the remonstrance, I would fain make with all my might against the threatened back-eliding, or backiraUing, of fashion in the matter of street dress.

Why, in the name of all that issensible. decent, not to say pure and lovely ami of good report, must the dqys of draggle be brought back again? Just as we had escaped into sweetness and lightness and comfort—into the very best walking style that I—a woman of forty odd—cm remember, what power of malice is it that lays hold of us, will we, will we, and forces us back? What power ought to be able to do this with any respectable, conncientious humiri being that wears petticoats? I do lift up my voice and say—O women •dear women,—above all, of place and inlluenro,—resist this evil and save us all! For, do you know how deep it ,goes in more than a literal sense? It •••,: is not the incites of silk or velvet you •choose to spoil and replace. It takes hard hold when the inches are not of milk or velvet, and cannot easily bt made good. You draw after you a whole comtnunity of women, who must have what they see vou have, and for whom it is very hurt! to be obliged "to choose betwoen ugliness and awkwardness—for an utterly passed fashion ^does grow ugly and awkward—and an immoral extravagance.

It goes deeper than this oven. You cannot touch tilth, even outwardly, and bo inwardly undetiled. A woman's sense of purity is less delicate for getting used to endure contamination by MO much as gathering it oil the hem of her garment. You shrink away from any intimate personal contact with wlint is low and coarse you do not like to be Jostled ever so little in a promiscuous crowd but you will let your robes trail unconcernedly in all that is horrible, most unmentionable in the places that the crowd and the coarseness traverse just before. This Is true in the cleanest thoroughfares how much moro in many streets where other women must live and pass! You may let your miwsions alone if in these outer signs you make no improvements, which liave all things, their inevitable spiritual correspondence. You will send down through all classes a tainting and demoralizing example.

To put it on ihe lowest ground: If you would have a fashion truly ulegiint—if you would not have it said to-morrow, as it will be, "Every ser vant caricatures it,"—keep it to yourselves by keeping It la your drawing rooms, where it belongs. Keep it for your own comfort out oi your kitchens. Street dress rules workingdress. Work lug women and domestic assistants, to say nothing of the large middle class of oarc-taking, house-ruling heads of families, have now a form of dress induced by general use, which is at once pretty, neat, coinlortablo and economical. Don't tako it away from them Do you wish to see again the soiled oa'ico trills that a few years ago were dragged from the cellar ashes, the slop of tlie washtub and through the dust of sweeping day over niee carpets, against tinted wainscots, and swished about amongst dainty furniture

Think of all this in the beginning before all your spring suits are made think of it in your own Interest on your own human responsibility, and in the light of your most delicate and relined perception and even If thev are mude, cut them oil'—a Lenten sacritlc©—like the otTcnding hand or foot, rather than dotlle yourselves and contaminate your neighbor.

Ui rxo DR GOODS.

The New York Bulletin in an article for tho reading ot dry goods merchants

"In by-gone times, wlien tashions wert almost permanent during a lifo-

time, quality was tho -principal deslderatum—the known and ascertainable quantity in the problem of 'what to buy.' True, there was some fancy ex-

ercifMHi in fcinalo attire, and the males of tho broad-cloth and knee breeches period, managed to conoentrate their 'vanities' into the display of 'waistcoat but the seasons brought round no sudden revolutions in the matter of 'what to wear.' A buyer's duties then must hive been simple enough. It is very life rent uow. Taste, or rather 'fancy,' is all powerful in most descrlptions'of dry goods at the present date. Iu many instances it is so, e\eu to the exclusion of quality as a primary cousideration. hverv dry goods man is ,u made aware ot this, every hour ot his business life and to an importer the ability to anticipate the turn ot the public taste in this respect is not only & an important qualification, but a vital one. Taste, or 'fancy,' in 1872, is bought and sold If not uy the pound, at least by the square yard."

BLOWINU FOR TUB SerruKMRXT."— "I organised the first Sunday school in this county and ran it myself." said a ahrewd but dissipated Wisconsin lawver. "A few of us Americans oame here early. We wanted to ret in decent. industrious settlers, ana keep the rowaiee out. So I said, "A Sunday school will draw the folks we want. It will be the best and choapest way *to blow for the settlement." They all «wgreed to it. There wasn't a soul of us that pretended to have a grain ot piety. they pitched upon me to carry oat the plan. I did it, sending to Mr. Rice of the American Sunday School Union for a library, and ran the school all Summer. It did the blowing for na splendidly. Several Christian families came in, and as they had a better stock of piety, I handed the Sunday school over to tbem. It was a grand thing for na. We secured a

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

A lady who had repeatedly called her little bo\ to come and say his prayers, was shocked by his asking her if 'rGod was in much of a hurry." "Charley, what is that makes you so sweet?" said a loving mother to his little boy, as she pressed him to her bosom. "I dess when Dod ~nade me out of dust he put a little thugar in, said Charley.

A teacher questioning little boys about the gradations in the scale of being, asked "What comes next to man 7" And here a little shaver who was evidently smarting under a defeat in the previous question, immediately distanced all competitors by promptly shouting: "His undershirt, ma'am!"

A croupy youth in a neighboring town having strongly objected to taking bis medicine, was induced to inake a hearty meal ot buckwheat cakes and maple syrup," but the latter proved to be hive syrup of squills. The boy said he "thought something ailed the molasses the minute bis father told him he could eat all he wanted to."

How happy is boyhood, which scarcely looks ten minutes ahead toward the dark, uncertain future? Who does not envy the blissful composure of the little fellow who, after watching the burning of the school-house, until the novelty of the thing had ceased, started down the street, saying, "I'm glad the old thing is burned down didn't have my jogtry lesson no how."

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.—Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of nasal passages, discharge falling into throat, sometimes profuse, watery, acrid, thick and tenacious mucous, purulent, muco-puru-lent, bloodv, putrid, offensive, etc. In otheis a dryness, dry, watery, weak inflamed eyes, ringing in ears, deafness, hawking and coughing to clear throat, ulcerations, scabs from ulcers, voice altered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired smell and taste, dizziness, mental depression, tickling cough, etc. Only a few of the above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. No disease is more common or less understood by physicians. The proprietor of Dr. Saue's Catarrh Heme dy will pay $500 reward for a case of Catarrh which he cannot cure. Sold by druggists at 50 cents. 608
