Many times we have vague impres- sions of a certain truth, which will never be brought to our minds with all its force unless brought out by external circumstances. It. is a sad and deplorable fact that we can never fully appreciate a blessing until it is lost to us. A girl comes to woman's estate, fair fresh and beautiful as a velvety rose sparkling with crystals of dew in the first blush ofa Summer morning. One, to look at her, would hardly be reminded that the lovely structure is compost of hot. soda- bircuit, strong coti'eo, cake, sweetâ€" meats, etc. But such is the leniency of nature, that one may arrive at, this ago on such fare and appear wholesome. But how transient this beauty its consistency is tested by the stern experience of life l Under the sober cares of womanhood it fades as ‘- tbemorningglory in the hotsunshine. From three to live years after maturâ€" ity we see evidence of decay in pro» portion to the meagreness of the foun- dations. The rich nut-brown hair becomes thin and scraggy; the pearly teeth become decayed and unsightly, so that when the mouth is opened you are reminded of a longclosed srpul‘ chre, "full ofdead men’s bones and uncleanness.” that the skin has lost his fresh and ray hue. The row and the lily have vanished and given place to something that reminds one strongly of the parchment used for drum heads. The law that was so peachy and fresh is now shiny, flabby and wrinkled. Is it necessary lhat this beauty should be. so shortlived, instead of a joy that is commemu Me with life ‘1 No! a thousand times, No. As a rule, look at a man at the agcof thirty-live and a Woman at thirty. Let them stand side by side. What a picture! The man broadshouldcred, straight, stout rosy, smooth-skinned, healthydook- ing. The woman thin, shallow, and wrinkled. But the early degeneracy in health ofthe women of our hind cannot be chiefly attributed to bad dietetic hab- its, for it such were the case it would include the men also. it is, however, due to fashion. How can they be healthy wrapped in such swaddling bands ? See them dragging about heavy, t 'ailing, clinging skirts, some loaded like coats of mail. making it a heavy task for them to be even par- lor ornamentsl Such clothing hin- ders activity, and activity is necess- ary to prevent stagnation of blood. Most of us know that a bounding cirâ€" culation is essential to beauty, and that a bad circulation gives a person a blue, pinched 10ok, like a quail di- vested of its plumage. Another great enemy to beauty is foul air. Men, as a rule, are exposed to the best air that the market afâ€" fords the greater part of the time. Hence it is that their food, although it may not be of the best quality, is better digested and assimilated. How is it commonly with women? With- out suflicient bodily exercise to proâ€" duce a good circulation, they also inâ€" crease the difficulty by staying in close rooms heated by coal, and breathâ€" ing the gases that are pent up there» in. One cannot breathe impure air, and long retain the beauty God has given her. . Another great sotircc of premature decay in Woman is want of mental stimulus. Men go forth and buy and sell and get gain. Boys, even at: an early age, are taught to take their places in the busy world of tra to. And by the the time they are twenty they' may be thoroughly versed in .all the ways and means by which they may become useful members of society, and secure to themselves and these dependent on them a. “local habitation and a name.” They have something to look fin-ward to, some thing to warm their heart, tire their brain and nerve their muscles. On the other hand, how is it with our girls and women? In the lower classes, as sent as a girl isold enough she is expected to go out to sew ordo housework, and in these'occupations there is only one road to general pro- motion. if it may be called suchâ€" that of marriage. The girl soon finds that her lot is that of’a. needle slave 0 ' a drudgo, until some man about as ignorant as herself asks her to share his fortunes. Looking toward a speedy marriage, her scanty earnings go for gaudy apparel to decorate hci- self. She has no time forculture, by inheritance no taste for it. This class however, best retain their primitive health. But alas! it is a buried, use less health and beauty, because there is a dearth of that culture that makes “ gods of common mortals.” In the middle classes society per- mits the young woman to rise in the scale ot being. They can sew, take clerkships, or touch. And in cacls case it is tacitly understood that her occupation is but a makeshift until her natural lord comes to claim her as his property. Is there not in this system a fearful lack of noble incen tives ? The sewing girl is poorly paid, and her health is so quickly unâ€" dermined by her occupation that she is almost compelled to accept the first offer of marriage to save herself from pauperism. The saleswoman is obliged to spend all her earnings to make herself suf fiCiently attractive to suit the high notions of her employer. But such an occupation necessitates such a detrimental mode of life that she soon fades, and must also seek other employment or take refuge in mar- riage. The teacher has a wider scope, as usually accompanies a higher in teliigenee.‘ She is more independent. Shc cares less to please in mere mat ters of adornment, and she is usually let severely alone by the men. ' Among the rich the young girl en- ters society at the age of eighteen. She has a few brief months of butter fly existence before she settles down for life. Having attained her object and, like Alexander, no more worlds to conquer, and not rightly appreci- ating the high and glorious 013106 of Next you perceive motherhood, she becomes in a few years a. thoroughly withered and disâ€" heartened woman. The remedy is obvious. First, dress healthfully. Dress so that the precious life current can have free course from the now stultiticd brain to those numb hands and feet. Dress so that the delicate machinery within can maintain its natural position. Dress so that locomotion, work,play, fun, or frolic will become a pleasure. Breathe. Take long deep d raughts of air. pure, vitalizing air. Ilreathe until your purple checks becotnccar- mine. Breathe until your lallowy skin-wwhich no cosmetic can hideâ€"~ becomes fresh as a child’s. until your heart and tongue break forth into song as in the joyous days of sweet sixteen. And let no cure press too heavil r‘. Work. \Vork oti’ languo - and low spirits. Have a heart in it. Seek an objectin life worthy ofyonr noble soll'. Do not seek .1 dozen olvjectsand work a little. at each one. But seek one only and bend all your energies to its accomplishment. â€"_.~.â€" ...... «yo.-»..s-__wâ€".â€"â€"~ The Debt of New York City. Imagine New York city sold under the hammer to pay its debts. Not a likely thing to happen, you think 1 \Vell, perhaps not. I’ut it is a possi- bility that. is often talked about, whc« tlier likely or otherwise, Every once in a. while we hear from certain sources that. bankruptcy is straight before us. \Vo have a population of about one million, and a net indebtedness of over $115,000,000. The security for this is a real estate valuation of about $000,â€" 000,000. According to the tiguros, each man, woman, and child of us owes $115 on public account, not to spc-ik of the $000 national blessing that is dc» bitcd all round. New York is pretty generally credited with being a fast. city. but I don’t know any way in which its fustness is more forcibly shown than in the rapid increase of its debt. Twenty years ago it owed $5,000,000. Ton yours ago the amount was 936,000,000. Five years ago, when Tweed and his friends had full swing, the figures were $73,000,000. Now, in this l)lt’S>1(’tl year 1875, with Tweed in the peniten- tiary, Connolly and chciiy conceal Kl somewhere in Europe, and every vcs< tige of the ring gonc glimmering out of sight, the actual debt of poor Gotham foots tip $115 000,000. I sty the ac- tual debt, because the nominal debt is fully forty millions more. Morrow-r, it appears from all amounts that whih» the debt; keeps growing larger and larger, the means to meet it lit-comes less. The real estate of New York is not toâ€"day worth anything like what it was worth three years ago. The gen» Veral estimate of shrinkage is 25 ptr cent, or about $200,000,000 altogether. So the outlook, you see, is not at all cheering. Evidently, there is great need of economy, but the signs of it. are not very numerous. Ten years ago it cost $l8,000,000 to carry on the city government. Ten years before that it. cost, $6,000,000. This year it is cost- ing $35,000,000. In Twecu’s lastyonr of power it} cost $23,000,000. \Vc are now paying $3,500,000 for education, $5,000,000 for police, $2,000,000 for parks and public words, and $10,000,» 000 for interest on debt. The tax is .ncurly three per cent. on a, valuation of sixty per centâ€"equal to live or six per cent. in many other places. Still, I don’t; feel very uneasy about the pros» poets of New York going under the hammer, even though the Tribune, the Graphic, and some other papers talk about it. But if it ever does come to this, there will be a good chance to buy a big city very cheap. â€"New York Letter. "way . O 9 <‘â€"-â€"â€"»»â€"vâ€" Husbands and Home-made Shirts. The Troy Times says : A day or two ago, while crossing the ice, we over- heard two ladies talking about a new dress, and one of the ladies remarked that, “ When I tried it on, I asked Itoh if it was a good lit about. the waist," and he replied, “ \Vell, I should say not. It tits about as well as a homeâ€" made shirt.” There was a volume in Rob's reply. As a rule, homemade shirts don't. fit at all. They will draw in at the back atid over the shoulder to that extent that a. fellow don’t know whether he is encased in a shoulderâ€" braec or a. strait-jacket. The neck-band may not go twice around and tuck in behind, but it usually laps about three inches, or else it is cut so low in the neck that a 2 l‘lllcll collar is rcquircd to reach the Collar-button. In leaning forward when sitting, the bosom crushes in at the sides and projects in the mid- dle, looking more like a badly-demoralâ€" ized dust: pan than anything else. The sleeves are so short that the large cciil’. pair of cuffâ€"buntons, selected with great care, either tickle a fellow’s clâ€" bows, or dangle around his linger nails, never arriving at a compromise between the cxtrnne. The skirts are generally of an abbreviated character, making the affair resemble an overgrown round about. Men do not like to find fault, knowing that; their wives meant \vcll enough, and worked hard in making the garments, but, when away from the house, they do not hesitate to say that the desire of their hearts is that their wives should go out, of the business. ~o o..- .o w“ rwâ€"A An American lady in Paris recent- ly happened to be in a room adjoining an American gentleman and lady there and very unwillingly overheard a conversation. There was a door between the two rooms, and as they raised their voices she heard the lady say, “ I tell you, my dear, that I must have 5:58.000 next year. It is iinposn sible, with the $5,000 you allow me, to make any respectable appearance. I cannot do it.” She spoke angrily, and her husband remonstrated, “My dear, I have given all I can. I have taken all I dare from my business without crippling it." “ I tell you. sir," she said vehemently, “ I tell you that I really must have 38,000 for my dress, I caniiot‘dress as others as un- less you give me this. fill/tar."

All the atrocious crimes committed in years of peace, all that is spent in peace by the secret cor- ruptions, or by the thoughtless extraâ€" vagance of nations, are more. trifles compared with the gigantic evils which stalk over this world in a. state of war. God is forgotten in War; cvei'y princi- ple of Christianity is trampled upon." A. learned professor predicts that this sort of thing will bye-aud-bye take the place ot some of the present instruction given in schools and lectures :â€"“ First class in l.>cel'~stculr, stand up.

A few nights back, a party of ladies and gentlemen were laughing over the supposed awkwardness attending a declaration of love. when a gentleman remarked that if In; ever offcied himsell he would do it in a collected and busiâ€" nessdike manner. “ Fer instai.c i," said be, addressing himself to a beauti- liil lady present, “I would say, Miss S-â€"â€"â€"~, I have been engaged two years in looking for a wife, I. am in the re- ceipt of a. clear income of two thousand dollars a year from my present; business, which is daily on the increase.

Indeed, to speak pluiiiâ€" ly, I love you, and would most gladly make you my wife." “ You flatter me by your preference,” good-humoredly replied Miss.

The lady and gentleman were married soon. Accounts of the recent escape from destruction of the British mail steam- ship A'ile leave little to be desired foi coolness, discipline, and pluck on the part of all concerned. But the latest developments regarding her cargo are not creditable to British stcvedores and underwriters. It, appears that a large quantity of cotton-wach was stowed in the after-hold in close proximity to casks of machine-oil and turrcd bugs containing “ smithy” coal. The rest of the cargo was made up of dry goods with more oil at convenient. intervals. With the given materials it is not easy to contrive an arrangement better cal- culated to burn well. That oiled cotâ€" ton-waste will always generate heat. and sometimes fire is, we believe, a fact. In the present instance 9. fire started some- how, and was only kept under and finally extinguished by dint oftho most heroic efforts. The ship had us‘t sail- cd for the \Vest Indies with two hun- dred and seven souls on board, and in~ ste id of the confusion which too often prevails in such a crisis, every man did his duty. The boats were provisioned and prepared for launching, and passen- gers were toldâ€"offin the most orderly manner. After all was over, it was found that one ofthe oilâ€"casks had only a quarter of an inch of charred wood left between its contents and the fire. Had work slackened for an instant during the three hours fight, the flames would have had it all their own way , after this quarter of an inch was burned. I Michael Angelo.

Here he met the. most cul- timted society of the time.

It was a wonderful season of intc locâ€" tiial activity in Italy. The art of printâ€" ing had just been discovrred. An Italian had returned lrom a new world across the Atlantic. Gi'erian literature was being introduced to the scholars of Southern Europe. The world of reality and the world of speculation had each been found to be vastcr than had been supposed.
