Many who look upon this question of social purity as at the bottom of all ethics have united to work In the white ernes movement, a most worthy association, for "whenever temptations exist a man will hunt for them." Jn the word of I'rofessor Dowdin, "the sad dest ordi'nl of love is to witnews the dimin ishing; purity and splendor of a star like soul, the clouding over of a heroic nature by a film of dishonor." - That need not be. If appealed to the spirit will command the senses. It will be remem bered with thank fulness that 'never before have there bt-en so many who could stand fur the quaint description by Betsy Babbitt: "A K'KxI, trtiA, noble man Is the best job old rifitureever turned off her hands or ever will a man who would wipe away the tears of a tuibe with a hand soft as a woman's or who would 'die with his feet to the foo."

Ood never meant that man and woman should have two sots of mora la, and the opposite belief is the curse of the world." Aj tho result of good training, filial and fraternal sentiments will be strongly devel oped. No words of Carlyle burn with more fire and nerve than those in which be de scribes his parents: "1 have a sacred pride in my peasant father, and would not ex change him for any king." Of bis quaint old mother ho was equally proud. In this ra.se. as in others, two' characters stamp themselves upon the young life. The nobil ity or degradation of the father is likely to be roproduitjd in the son. The lineage of goodness is as transmissible a that of genius. The latter is a culinin.V ti'in of favorable conditions and qualities which can occur only infrequently Tha former Is the adjustment of life t those ethical laws which are the beatings of that Infinite heart from which all life proceeds. It is possible to the majority of civilized people. The transmission of great qualities to the son, rathei .nan to tb daughter, has been rninarknL It could not well be otherwise. The one has had a fair field for the exercise of native powers, the other none, ilaphael inherited from his father a proclivity toward W' t. but his sister might possibly give to the world a Tran.-tiguratiofl, if both lived in the Nineteenth century.

Bo long as those children, young or old. hod a roof, they could suffer and be strong together. Their wants, their depriva tions, were their own and not public property. Jf needs that they must starve, they could starve in silence and dignity, with none but themselves the wiser or the worse. All their little shifts were not subjects of general dis cussion, their work was not on inspection; strangers were not able to interfere among them, or to sow dissension thereby, or to alienate affection. Close together in the habitual contact of daily life, they could only be bound the more closely in habits of thought, in love, and in mutual concern. And the roof tree was responsible for it alL The roof tree was the bond and the protector. It took the place of parent; it was a -shield and bulwark against the world. No; the ex igence of scattered and shipwrecked fami "lies has everywhere proved that much dis comfort, much misery, might have been spared them had they clung together in one home, that those who have a home should keep it, it is their safety in worldly ar.J material comfort.

It is a strong hold, it is a cattle, however poor and old; Warwick castle itself no better for its pur jioses. It is not merely that "be it ever so humble there's no place like home," but that it i home, the single spot where one reigns, where one is unfettered and fully one's self, bere one has one's tools and equipments loo-sely and at ease about one, where one is at large liberty, where one exists satisfied with the natural love of kin if other love is denied om a place to retire and withdraw In, to fee, c ifety and' protection in, to live in and at last to die In. Harper's Bazar. Nob! Und of nerolnes. Every day 1 meet working wanujp women who toil eurly and late merely to keep alive women who bear themselves in ttie worlJ as grass does over which tramp ling feet are constantly passing a little crushed, but for tha most part brave and bright. They come into tho car at nig carrying brndles and drop wearily into their eat with sighs that tell bow tired they are. They go and come early and late to earn tha slender pittance wherewith they keep them selves in respectable apparel and buy for their families the necessary commodities of the butcher, the baker and the green produce monger. Tbey always look wan and weary, and there is often a dark ring around their eyes that tells of tasks carried far into tha night, when more prosperous folks are abed and asleep. Tbey have a spurious gayety about them, something like the picture of a flower, or the reflection of a grate Ore in a dim mirror Sometimes they laugh, but I can Imagine a tear somewhere In the laugh, like a rain drop in a rose. Tbey are a noble band of heroines, the mcet of them. I like tbc-m for their pluck and their sturdy endurance of a hard lot f like them because they keep right on, and always will, until the old switch engine. Death, scurries them off on tho side track. I like them because they never break rai-k, tut keep tp even with adversity for a oom raJe and grim poverty as captain of to Lrigad. 1 like them wherever I find them, working in kitchens, with la.es that He in the parlor, playing on washtut with fingers that would grace piano, delving at incon,- gnlal ocenpatloos because their destiny has U n overlooked by good fortune, or because duath. or something worse, boa denied tbem a protector. 1 like tbem because 1 feel a fellowship wltb them In my heart, and know that some day we shall all And our heritage together.

"Amber" in Chicago Journal. Have Nothing Concealed. Always live so that there's nothing to be found out," writes a matron whose honest, happy face proclaims her a follower of her own advice. This advice is good for any walk of life, and for single ss well as mar ried people. But who doe not know one or more households in which "Don't tell papa," or "We won't mention this to your father," are phrases of frequent use? What an atmos phere of deceit and equivocation to throw alout a child's life, and what must be the consequence of such training! Some women are cowardly by nature, and their first in stinct Is to conceal anything which would be likely to cause themselves to ba reproved or blamed in any way. Other women become so because of administered rebukes. We once knew a man whose pretty little wife never dared tell him how much she paid for the new bonnet and gown, even though they were, bought with "the butter and egg money," her own perquisites iu the country where she lived. Bbe usually deducted a cer tain portion from the price paid for each article; and she has even left the new bonnet at a neighbor's for a few days after it was bought, till ber lord and master should have become reconciled to the new gown. This breaking the matter to him gently was abso lutely necessary to save herself from a storm; and, in our opinion, the deceit she practiced will be added to bis account iu the big book and not to bor's. But there-are other things, not so trifling, which are concealed by the husband from the wife or the wife from the husband. The conscience may become dulled or seared, so that it no longer troubles one, but the horror and constant fear of discovery; to say noth ing of the pain of the deceit itself to a ten der conscience, should be enough to keep oue from ever repeating an offense of this sort or committing any other. Jean Kincaji) p Boston Globe. A flux on the Ear. One of Browning's most beautiful and pa thotio poems, and one intelligible to whom soever runs, commemorates the act of an old Earl of Arundel, who, having struck his little child on the bead, bail the picture of himself and the child painted, the child, as he be came in after years, imbecile from the effects of that blow. It would be well, we think, for parents, and for all those having children on their bands, to commit these verses to memory, and put the lesson in practice; for the injury done to children by the quick and careless box on the ear that is thought noth ing of at the time is something incalculable. ' It is impossible to hit a tender child a blow on bo delicate an organ as the ear, and one having such close connection with the brain, without doing an evil and unseen work, even when the blow is given with the flat and open hand. The action, it has been fully ascer tained, has produced violent inflammation in the ear, and running discharges for years; blood has been known to follow it immedi ately; and when this has not happened, par tial and even total deafness ha been the con Beqenco in many instances. Intercranial dif ficulties of a daugerous type are not at all rare either, as the result of these admoni tions; idiocy has been traced to tbem; and in more than one case surgically examined it has been found that fatal brain disease has followed a box on the car. Harper's Weekly. Work of Southern Women. As in St. Paul's cathedral, London, on the monument to Christopher Wren, so we can say of the work of southern women: "Look nroundf As nothing surpassed ber cour age, her fortitude, her untiring patience and energy, her persistent effort during the war, so the still greater demand for such virtues after the battle was over, found her as ready and responsive as before. Wherever woman can labor without lotting thedignity of wom anhood, the women of Jtbe south go. In the home, in the school room, at the ledger and the desk, with the needle, the pen, the pen cil, the brush. In music, in useful and deco rative art, and all handicrafts where deft ness and delicacy supersede physical strength, she is at work; in short, whatever her bead and hands find to do, she is doing willingly and uncomplainingly. Out from the stately homes of wealth and luxury, out from the genial fireside of com fort and thrift, from all ranks of life and degrees of fortune, from the stone mansions of Virginia to the graceful and picturesque villas of Alabama cauebrakes and the Missis sippi valley, she has gone, at the call of duty, into the rank and file of working women, clad in the invulnerable armor of patient endurance and womanly dignity. And for this she is entitled to sympathy and honor. itella Cocke In American Magazine. Ultra Fast and Fashionable. There are ultra fast and fashionable women, whose salons are entertaining but not safa Society is a mosaic, in which the false jewels shine more brightly than the true. An instinctively pure and imperial nature, however, walks through such a salon to repudiate the bad and to extract the good ; but bow is it for those who are gentle, unsus pecting, ignorant! How for those who are only half good and open to temptation, which fs the position of more than half the world. The influence of que "ultra fast and fash ionable woman," whose principles are ques tionable, does more injury to society than a thousand essays can tell, and even a woman who hits no particular vice, hut ony on Idle, love of pleasure, with this desire for a ce lebrity which is at best questionable. Is one of the evil forces which are undermining the social reputation of American women at home and abroad. The presence of bad man ners, loud, unconventional behavior. Is attrib uted to bad morality, when it is simply a carelessness of outward appearance. Now, if there were a beginning of home influences, home amusements and borne cult ure, much of this might be obviated. Mrs, John Sharwood in American Magazine. Hints Concerning Cleanliness, The cure for sallowness is open air, coarse i bread and sunshine. For coarseness, it is the ! bread and wheat, with plenty of bathing scrubbing with soap and hot water twice a : week at the very least, and underwear changed throughout as often as one bathes. Much is to be said about this changing of , body wear, which is next to bathing in im portance. 1 have seen dainty women toss . aside cambric and lace soiled with once wear ing in street dust, while tbey wqre the same body suit of cash mere or cotton by night and day tho week through, saturated with insen sible wastes of the skin.

Pueblo in Detroit Free Press. Fashionable Hoarding; riouso Life. The life is contemptible. There is nothing real and earnest, nothing manly or womanly in it It is full of the idleness which invites the satanio whisper. Its perfumed breath is fetid. Its glitter is a sham. Transplanted by a thoughtless husband to the environment which murders the maternal instinct, a young woman lapsing into idleness finds oc cupation in gossip, relief in admiration, joy In the pique of envious sisters, a dash of ex citement in the knowledge that she hnx made her husband suspicious and jealous. She taxes his purse that she may outshine the other genteel loafers of the establishment and better equip herself for the enjoyments of flirtations. She becomes the incarnation of selfishness. Sue loses ber own and respect for her husband and thinks willingly of the sweetness of stolen waters. Chicago Times. Myaterlos of the Toilet.

It is quito evident it was at least ns diilicult for tho ancients to keep down the growth of the board as it is for tho modern youth to raise one. Before tho Invention of the razor, which dates back less than two centuries, tho hair was kept from no cumulating on tho face by rubbing tho skin quickly with pumice stone, which gave it that peculiar polish and hardness of outline noticeable in old paintings Barbers aro lirst mentioned in English history ahout the veur 1029. durinjf tho rein of Charles I, when a number of Puritans were ordered to bo punished by having their "beards shaven from their faces with sharp knivrs. and t!:o t;: be cropped closu to their heads therewith, ill addition to having their ears cut oil and tongues bored with a red hot iron, and to bo thereafter stood in the pillory." A 6CIMECT OK IIIDICUl.IC. About lSo.T beards and mustaches leg:r.t to make their aj-j earanco in this country on tho streets of tho cities, tou were everywhere the subject of ridicujn, no much so that i-iw wero vaiu enough to cultivate them In the fad for wear ing hair on the face was given a j.reut thrust forward by a picture of Count D'Orsay, published in l'razer's Magai'.ine, illustrating how copiously a chin could bo cushioned.- and which, it was conceded, reached the climax of hair arrangement in that quarter. Still for a number of years later long beards wero considered disgraceful ; as masks behind which criminal: and out laws sought to hide their identity. As late as ly-iy tho writer remembers to have see n a Jew with long hair and beard bated" on BeaVer street, in this city, by a crowd of boys, who chased him with sticks and stones through the streets and alloys of what was then one of the most attractive portions of New York, and for no other reason than tho great mass of hair which concealed his features. And on this occasion tho sedate business men of that part of the city gathered at their doors and cheered tho boys with their ex pressions of approval. One or two judges abont that time be gan to make their appearance on tho bench with whiskers. This the public took ft.s an offense, tind the papers seri ously discussed it as a matter of prime i importance. "Whiskers." says Tho Democratic Review, "are bad enough at the bar, and even then they are pestilent accompaniment for counsel. There is no gentlemanly managing a jury with them. Men are not open to reason or pathos that might issno from any part of a face thus cultivated. They continuall', and for good reason, suspect those who talk to them in a mask. But to carry whiskers up to the tribunal is unbecoming tho judge as it is unfortunate for tho wool sack. What would men have us think? Do they mean to enforce decisions by the ferocity of their countenances? To ruuUe us fear instead of honor them? Or would they, wherever they may bo, have us understand that their strength, like his of old, lies in their hair?" None of tho fathers of the republic ever wore a beard The appendago of hair is not to bo found on the face of any of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and it was unknown to all the otBcere of tho revolutionary army. Those men of great minds, iron will and strong purpose stood forth in the broad light of day with faces so clean that their every thought might be read. Tn"K CHOPPED SIHE WlIISSETt. The war of 1812 brought no generals to the front with beards, but all tho com manders of the navy appear to have culti vated the "mutton leg," as it was once called the side whisker reaching an inch or so below the ear, but always kept dropped.

Of the presidents of tho United States John Q Adams and Zachary Taylor had a mere bunch of hair, extending tho length of the ear. Martin Van Buren had more of tho "mutton leg." which curled forward, and beng of a sandy color, gave that peculiar expression to his' face which caused him to Lo nick named "Tho lied Fox of Kiuderhook" or "Foxy" Van Burcn All tho ether presi dents had faces shaven of every partielo of taU. and np to 1SG1 no man had oc cupied a position of prominence in tho national government who wore a beard on his chin or a mustache.

The cabinet which Lincoln assembled was composed largely of bearded men. The despised abolition sentiment bad ob tained tho ascendency, and men by the thousands who ten years before would rather have been caught burning a house than raising a beard, threw away their razors and turned their faces out to nature for ooverings.
