Ipoo tasting for the first time an apple pie with a little quince to give it a fkvor, tbe Irishman expressed his approval by asking, why, if apple pie with little quince in it is so good, tbey do-hr°®d affection,

net make apple piee all of quince. The jpajsiag of tbe annual holiday season •suggests the question, seeing tbe holidays are so pleasant, why not have holidays all the year around Some bedy will probably suggest tbe answer that -vould be too much of a good thing. Qc ioces do for a flavor, but apples alone ait- better /or pies than quinces alone. Holidays add a pleasant flavor to the yew. Tbey are pleasant to anticipate an prepare for, pleasant to pass and pleasant to remember, and tbey are pleasant largely because they are unlike ihe other days of the year, The busy «p rid therefore may well be content them pass and return again to its

day duties. Tbe hum-drum of bas been less ham-drum for twelve jf utbs than it would have been but for t.3 week now ended, aad so will it be «ei-.h tbe twelve months to coma. The db rctuunt can remember what a spleniiti holiday trade be bad and hope for tho game next December, and find comoil in this memory and this antidpafjeaja when the dulleeasona come. The 3il can remember the good things of ft-istaass aad New Years and tbe days & ween, and sweat cheerfully over bis .a *d lessons in hope of tbe good time ling again. Ditto all around.

I or are'there not some things bonie

fed

with these days, besides the gifts, vl A can be kept (hiring all tbe year .ci make tbe other days better? Why keep the cheerfulness of these days? ceases why the holidays are so

U-asant is that everybody seems inlined to make the beet of everything, m.ling faces abound everywhere, and \milee are so contagious that one who at little to smile for can hardly fail to eep ^company with the rest. A few afi^peifish ...(feyowgMfco ototr*ide $9 griefs upon others at this season general glad new, and seem to feel |ai% that others can be out of trouble ben they are distressed. But generally are modestly worn in the holiaja, and not put forth obtrusively. 14,*et people in trouble generally feel fcir troubles lees keenly -in tbe midst tho general rejoicing. There ia a

Local inclination to make the best of ir.gs. And why not carry this spirit ifj ugh tho year? More smiling, less ot* uding troubles upon others, more Voicing in tbe good things that do £&e, and waking the beet of it when ioi things do not come and bad things yihis would give the common days of fear much of the pleasant flavor of fjlolidays.

uine happiness. If these holidays leave with us more love and less selfishness, they wiH indeed flavor the entire year.

PSHAW Talk about love in every day affairs! What has a man to do with love in business, in politics, and in general society? Love will do for courtship, passably well for domestic life, and may prompt a bit of philanthropy now and then, but it is mere sentimental stuff, entirely out of place in the important affairs of every day life. So reason the many. But the fact is toat gefittine and

driving

out a mean sel­

fishness, is the only thing that purify politics so that there shall be no

more Louisianas or Maines the only thing that can so purify business that every man's word shall be as good as bis bond, and drive out the mean selfishness that says "Every man for himself, and tbe devil take the hindermost," tbe only thing that can cleanse society of its jealousies, scandals, gossips and rivalries. As love comes in, something stronger than mere sentimentality, these things go out, and tbey only go as expelled by this affection. The central principle of Christianity is practical, and tbe day is coming, far in tbe future it may be, when it will be seen to be practical. Each holiday season ought to hasten th$ coming of that da?

HIGH PRESSURE.

How frequently in going up and down the streets do we meet with men who are too much absorbed in-their business. These men appear to live for their business rather than follow it fcr the sake of a livelihood. They carry it with them wherever they go. It sits at the table with them and goes to bed with them. It is tbe nightmare of their Bleep. They toss in bed, thinking of what tbe day has brought, and| of what will come with the morrow. Finally tbey fall into a feverish sleep, whioh is full of starts and wakings, and their eyee open early upon the toil aocLtarouble of another day. Fretting and worrying over their work they become nervous, cross and unsociable. The natural equipoise of their minds is disturbed so that the most trivial thing worries them, and even a grasshopper becomes a burden. Little things that a man in good health and fiplrits would scarcely notice, overpowestiMwn, fcwt they become enraasoa* ably depressed at tbe smallest obstacles. Life is a treadmill to them,—a rotiud of ceaseless and'monotonous toil following day upon day. Tbe relaxations and amusements whioh others permit themselves, to tbem seem frivolous and unbecoming. They have no time for such foolishness, and are surprised that anybody else has. They imagine if they should fail to get to their shqp'or office at exactly a certain minute every morning, the whole business would go to raok and ruin. They run on tbe highpressure system, the fires always burning and the ateam aizzliug. They wear out soon and no wonder. A steam engine will do the same thing with, the same kind of treatment.

We like to see men diligent In business, and believe, with Solomon, that such men will prosper. But we 4o not believe that it is best for men to become slaves to their business, and for several reasons. 5'2

In tbe first piace no good Is accomplished by it, We have often notioed that tbe fussy steam engines are invariably small. Tbey keep up a devil of a racket, but give out but little power. The engines whieh turn the wheels in great factories, or drive steamships across the ocean, run on tbe low pressure system. They make very little noise, and the great piston moves in and out as easily as if it hadno suspicion it was doing any work at all, but the, power whioh they produce is simply

He may btrst

his boiler, as he often does, bnt be out budge the steamboat. Every pefeon who is born into the world ought to bear a label of bis grade of intelleeual power. He ia capable of so mucband no more. He can reach hia maxi&nm of attrer by reasonable effort, am no amfflHbf effort wiii enable him go heyou^^hia. It has been said, and doubtless with truth, that the* gnateet intellectual works have been pranced by a moderate expenditure of abor. Overwork, then, does not pqgJ but is barren and fruitless.

But even il it did the gain wald not be wprth the outlay. life is fort at best and ought to have some eqfyment mixed with it. Idleness and Oaviah toil are alike vicious. It is tbe bending of work

and

rest in proper proportions

which renders life happy and agreeable. We believe that men ought to regard their business as a thing to supply their homes with the comforts and luxuries of life, and not as the primary purpose of living. Looked at in this light men will work reasonably and be satisfied with tbe result. They will leave their badness at tbe shop or office and not carry it home with them to worry their families with and make tbem iJJ-natured and crabid. Some men, while they are at work, bend all their energies to tbe task in hand, but the moment they leave it the whole matter seems to pass out of their minds, and they are perfectly free to take up something else. When at home or in society there is no shadow of care on their faces, but tbey seem as light hearted and free as if no business matter ever weighed upon their minds. By this means they get real rest and are enabled to go back to their work with fresh energy and strength. We have' noticed, too, that this class of men live long aa& have "troops of friends."

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

A splendid series of anftusements are booked at the Opera douse, as varied as they are attractive. The first to come, on Wednesday evening Is tbe Adah Richmond Comic Opera Company, headed by tbe favorite lyric artist Miss Richmond, and supported by What the manager claims is the largest and most •complete comic opera troupe in America, including a "church choir chorus." The opera of "The Grand Duchess" will be given, with admission at the usual popular prices—no extra charge for reserved seats which will be on sale at Button's on Monday.1 "The Princely Firm of Fun Makers," Stuart Bobson and W. H. Crane, come on Thursday evening as the "Two Dromios," ia Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors." This is the first appearance of this noted pair in this city, and the first time theGomedy of Errors has been played her*. It is certainly a rare dramatic treat, and one our people will appreciate Tbe Comedy of Errors is a play rarelv performed at present, on account of? the difficulty in getting two aetors wWfa aa$^faQy$%^a^4§' other. Mi. Crane is said £0 be very funny inf acting exactly like Stuart Robson, Hsp, squeak and all. From Frank L#rtie's Illustrated Weekly we clip the Allowing:

Not t£e least attractive of all tbe varied fghts which Ulysses S. Grant will- baVe seen while putting "a girdle round ihe sartb," is that of tbe "Comedy of Errors," as represented at the Arch Street theatre, Philadelphia, Wider tbe management of Mrs. John Drew with Messrs Robson and Crane in the respective roles 6f "Drofnio of Epbesus," and "Drodaio of Syracuse."

The Montreal Gazette says: "The 'Shaun Rhue* is a drama which ia what Bret Haste would call 'a talkee, talkee play,' but tbe 'talkee' ia sparkling, witty, and never beoomea wearisome or monotonous. The plot of the play hinges upon the efforta of Brian Calligan (Mr. H. Fuller) to secure, by lair means or foul, the hand of Kate Donovan (Miss Young), a pretty, witty young Irish girl. Kate, however, is already in love with Gerald Kavanaugh (Mr. Will Sands), a well-to-do young farmer, and ahe refuses to listen to the suit of the young squire. Her father, Morris Donovan (Mr. Armstrong), wishas her to marry Calligan, ana when Larry takes his sister's part, and advises her to be true to the man to whom ahe haa given her heart, he is ordered to leave his home and go ant penniless into the world to seek his fortune. Larry, disguised aa a laborer, Shaun Rhue, accidentally ia thrown into the way of Peter Galligan's lawyer Waddy (Mr. Martin), anJ while In his office finds out

tbe treachery of the Cailigans, who are cheating hie aister and himself out of a fortune which haa been beqaeathed.to them. *Shaun Rhue' comes home in his disguise, and in an interview with DOra Kavanaugb (Miss Wiedman),on pretence of being aMend of Larry's, makes her disclose her love for him, while in another interview with Dora's lather, a village pedagogue (Mr. Davies), be horrifies 111# peaantic old gentleman by mimtekiii0 his grandiloquence. The knowledge of the Calligan's intentions enables Larry to circumvent them, and after! resetting Kate from the younger, who tries to secure possession of ber by he discloses his ident force,

To those who halpeiteard the Oratorio Society it is unnecessary to remark upon tbe character of the work which it does -suffice it that tbie occasion will be one to maintain tbe itoputation whioh this organization has Already achieved. With tbe accessions of new voices and tbe increased effect! veness of the chorus from an additional year's work, anything which has heretofore been given to the public wi]tl be surpsssed on this occasion. The^Oborus will be supplemented by large Orchestra, many members of whhjiT come from Indianapolis and othe?.£ities. ^tiiere is.-very little "tinsel" ab6ut the modern stage—that is, so rar as ihe actre^e? a^e concerned, A costume iss. Anderson as Juliet cost wtosbme SFtfiractoest and most expensive robes ever made in this country. Thus far this season the American tragedienne has expended five thousand dollars in dresses. Fanny Davenport wears a pale blue silk in "Pique" that cost three hundred and fifty dollars. Miss Davenport's wardrobe for this one play is valued at about one thousand five hundred dollars, and is the work of M. Lanouette. As Lady Teazle, Sara Jewett wears a dress that cost over four hundred dollars. The dresses worn by Misses Cooke and Lynton in "The Tourists" are said to have cost over two thousand dollars. MariePresoott's single costume in "The Picture" cost three bundled dollars. Ion Perdicaris plans the costumes for Nard Almayne, whioh are very expensive. Nearly all the costumes worn by stars throughout the country are the handiwork of New York modistes.

The manager of the Elko, Nevada, Tteater borrowed a little 4 year old to personate the consumptive child of Lady Isabel in "East Lynne.'^While the audience were being moved to tears by the impassioned sgony of the fond mother, poured out at tbe bedside of her dying ohild, and just at the moment that ahe exclaimed, in btoken-hearted accents, "He is dead!" fhe little ebap, who had up to this point been kept quiet witb difficulty, could stand it no longer, and instantly resented the accusation by exclaiming in a voice distinctly beard through the houjie, "No I ain't, neither?!"

The weekly si^ids of living cariositiss" have been ascertained by a New York World reporter to be as follows: Fat ladies, over 875 pounds, $20 bearded ladles (very aoaroe), f$0f Circassian .girla, |35 to fiS, according to beauty Albino ladiee, $20 living skeletons (only two In the country), |80 and expensea dwartfe, Irene the one ground baby at fSSS-tc Lnete Zand, tbe midget, tt $200 giants, llke Oen. and fefm.

In a recent interview F. F. Maekay,"of the Criterion COmedy Company, said: My idea of dramatic art, and which has controlled

TKSKE HAUTK, Jan. 2, 1880.

MY DKABJOSKPHINR:—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, three of our great holidays, have been celebrated within the last three months and now we can settle down with a sigh of relief, and a feeling of thankfulness when^we remember thst Fourth of July is y& a long way off. After all is over we feel tired—very. These dinner parties are laborous, and after receiving calls sll of New Year's afternoon and evening the old and oft repeated "Happy New Year" becomes stale. Tbe calling yesterday was very general 1re received over one hundred calls, honest counting I heard of some who kept open house having as many as 0*e hundred and sixty! I do not wish io insinuste anythidg, but wool# HlHiettier ^feey counted the servant every time be re plenlsbed tbe fife, and bow often their fathers, brothers and husbands called upon them.

Now I suppose we shall have a round of gayety until Lent interferes and vetoes all world 15ness. I wonder why the observance of Lent should rule society as it does? Not that I think it wrong but it does seem a little queer when such a 'small percentage of society people are catholics or episcopalians. If a lady of the congregational, or baptist church wishes to give a large party she will do so either before or after Lent in nearly every case, thus tacitly acknowledging, or respecting, the rites of "tbe church," but do the espiscopalians cr catholics reciprooate the favor during tbe week of prayer? No, Josephine, they do not, and that shows how one sided religion is as well as everything else.

Speaking of churches, reminds me of your last letter in which you very innocently ask if church members here go to the opera and theatre? Of course they do, you dear little goose why half of the audience is generally composed of people who are members of tbe different ohurches. Should you ebance into tbe Opera House aosae evening when a oomedy or burlesque is to be played, you would be astonished-at the number of church members, not' only the young people of different denominations but a goodly share of the o^tand gray haired Christiana.

Now do not misunderstand me, Josephine, when I say tfaat I have my doabta as to the propriety of christians attending*!! kinds of performances! It is right that every one should have aome kind of relaxation' tbe accountant neede a good langh to settle bis over* taxed brain after aiiard day's work at hia books the teacher needs some kind of amusement whioh briqgs sweat forgetfutness of stupid boys and simple girla even the minister needs recreation for "all work and no play, makea Jack a dull begr." But 1 think soma discrimination should bemfcds aa to the morality of a performance before a church member attends i|, otherwise, no line be drawn between the church and the world. "The Chinaea gt Normandy" ia a beautiful little opera and tbere ia nothing objectionable about it Faust is equally beautiful but decidedly tbe opposite ih regard to morality, bat what church member, who will go to the, former will atay away- ftnai the lafctefr? Macbeth and Hamlet are faultUss, but Camiileis impure from the very com however, it is more interesting^—that is tbe reason crowded houses greet the latter, while empty aeataare conspicuous at the performancea ot tbe other two. At the performance of the extra vagansa of "Horrors," soma time ago, a number of chureb members were

I am eorry I went, Josephine, had ao idea of what it was like.

The show—I do not

call

it a perfornllh

anoe—was well named. It was indedd horrible no young lady would want tQ see it in company with a gentleman ife was neither elevating, refining, nor enlightening, and the only thing I can say in ita favor is that some of the situa» tions were extremely funny, aud to onei with a sense of the ridiculous fully d69g veloped it was almost impossible to. keep from laughing. Tbere were other church members there besides myself— perhaps they too were unaware cf the nature ofthe play,—so as I live in ft glass house, I had better stojp throwing stones. iJf

You should be here to attend the pout* try show. I have been there twice, and found it quite interesting. The things we call chickens in Okaw are not worthy of the name. A great bird as large as a turkey, whioh crows with tbe voice of a giraffe, that is a chicken —Cochins, X' believe they are called. Then there are beautiful black Spanish chickens, and ugly things with hair all over their eyes called houdans. Then therejare pigeons of various kinds, aud lovely white rabbits. As I am uotja connoisseur in the chioken line, I cannot tell you tho names of all these interesting fowls and animals. A curiosity is the incubator) whioh hatches eggs by Juaeans heat. I must say I prefer the old way the best here tbe poor little chicks step out of the shells orphans from tbe start. No fond mother to scratch up worms for them, Or to peck at other ohicks for interfering with her family. No sheltering wlnjp to enfold them when a storm approaches or darkness threatens. No, tbey hav6 to scratoh around for themselves and in course of time, I suppose will become "self msde" bens and roosters. It may be better for tbem in the end, but dreadful hard in the beginning.

My good friend John T. Scott has* been appointed one of the Supreme Judges, How glad 1 am! He has my heartfelt congratulatione I wish bim along and, prosperous career,—and I could wish nothing better for myself. Out of all the applicants for the position, he was my favOriterp|ttdidate.

About Women.

A lady at a theatre or an opera has aperfect right to wear a high bat, provided she takes the seat furthest back, or takes her hat off.

To a sensible man no woman tooks sa well when at home or on the street, aswhen dressed in plain, neat and modest attire, witb little or no ornaments.
