Plain Talk to Rural Readers.
From tbo JUcino IltnuL Firaa.
Editohh FnEss: Wha delightful on
tortainmonts yonr correspondents nro got
ting up for yonr rural oirolol Picnics,
indeed! Who ovor guessed thoro wos bo
much to inspiro, in brown bread, roasto
raro, murphy in or' out of his brown,
torn jriokot "boan porridgo hot" and
turnips?
Mr Berwick givo.i ns n capital sermon;
may it not bo tlio last. Ilut whothor
Mary Mountain's "gems" or Mr Oldon's
turnipH furnished tho tozt and tho inspir
ation, I'm in doubt. And, fnrthor, I want
him to explain how it is, that ho disolnims
tho woman's (?) ambition of obtaining tho
last word, provided it bo a good, trim
word. Ho "don't beliovo in conceding to
prejudice, ovon tho valno of a turuipl"
Thon why shonld ho throw a corky old
turnip ut us women until ho can
"domonstrato," that to havo tho last word
is moro a woman's limn u man's ambition?
Ho is u freeman
Whom the Truth Makes Frio,
Wroto Pollock. And yet, brothor B., onr
antecedents or our associations aro such,
that prejudices, like tobacco smoko, lurk
in tho skirts of the freoman who ohcIiqwh
thorn. Why, my dear sir, it will bo a long
time beforo, with our best endeavors, wo
will oeuso to Htimililo over our own small
prejudices. But bravo 1 how wo struggle
for tho mastery, mid hi, ono uftor another,
they fall from us, loosed probably by
Bonin iconoclast mo havo turned our back
upon.
Tho Ban Josoans scented a prejudice, in
tho
Hlrod Man Question,
And two conscientious' Orangors' wivcB
why aro they not themselves Grangers?
Iiavo been worrying Uiii poor thing,
which has, most likely, as oft beforo es
caped to cover, to bo again and uguin un
earthed till all men aro tidy and all
women kindly considerate. It was told
of tho wife of ono of our Vermont Gov
ernors, that onco on a time company from
town made them a Hying visit and partook
of tho mid-day meal with tho Governor,
his wifu and hired harvesters. Ono of
tho lady visitors expressed her astonish
ment, that Mrs. Galusha should "sit at
tablo with hired help." "Well," gravely
replied tlm Governor's wife, "I confess ft
don't look quite right and I often fool
that 1 ought to wait and servo them Urst."
Ho you see the question is by no means
n now one. And 1 might not suggest a
now thought oven, by asking why women,
whoso special vocation is that of house
keeper 1 should say housemother will
persist in practically degrading that voca
tion by excluding from tho family table
mid sitting room, decent young women,
while admitting to them tho hired helpers
of their hiiHhunds, kinsmen of theso girls
perhnis, or youths who associated with
them in their own homes? Is tho brood
winning vocation of tho father morn hon
orable than that of tho bread-making,
bread-dispensing mother, that hn osnihI
ants should bo more honored? lias not
this
Silly Ambition
To stand head and shoulders above some
body, let down our own standing place,
made respectable, self-respeetiug young
women uw'rao to house service, bur
dened the hardworking farmer with the
support of daughters competent uud will
ing to suppoit themi-elves, or induced
them (the daughters) to marry for
homes lias it not, to some extent, im
bued the present generation of young
women with low ideas of domestic occu
pations and luouomics, us involving
uieuiul service, and resulted in a riiin
ous Inoniciencv? l'xcuso mo, Mr I'ditor,
but I was "lirouglit up' a westerner
would say "raised - among the Green
Mountains of Vermont, where to bu nielli
oiont in one's sphere of duties was to be
" yittd for-nothing." To be "ln:y" was
the iiupauloiinlile sill. One might'otitliwi
the theft of a lean sheep, but the suspicion
of luv.inoss was more damaging to a pretty
fuc, than malignant small pox.
God, who instituted labor and made it
a condition of physical and mental health,
ulso instituted the family as u normal
school for thedii-cipliue of young men and
women in the duties of ina'turo life. And
m far from tho prompt payment of fair
wages vacating our contract with such
helpers, 1 believe wo still owe thorn the
sympathy, the iutluence, the watch-oaro of
a home, while in our employ. These are
conditions fiom which neither wo nor they
can reh use us, I am not speaking of
moral lepers or lllthy liers. For such, so
ciety should piovido leform labor schools
and "sweat houses, hitis of ignorance

subjects of family discipline. "l'.iiual

a "Dora D." is a good parson to have

My friend L. hod boon bcroft of on excel
lent wifo and having several children,
some of thorn noarly grown, bo thought it
wise to chooso for a socond companion a
strangor to the community in whioh ho
livod and accordingly wroto to an old
friond, a olorgyman, somo hundreds of
miles distant, inquiring if thoro woro a
snitablo person in his vicinity, oto. Tho
reply being in tho affirmative, my friond
mado tho journoy and found a maiden
lady of vorv agreoablo manners spending
somo umo in tno laraiiy or tils friond tbo
clergyman, Af tor a ploasant visit of two or
three days, being about to roturn bimo, my
friond mentioned to tho lady, that ho was
in quest of a companion and boing pleased
with hor socioty, would liko hor to toll
him frankly if thoro existed in hor mind
any objection to a nioro intimato acquaint
anco. Tho lady having confessed that, so
far, sho hud discovered no insuporabio
liar to a moro intimato acquaintance, ho
ontorod upon preliminaries and with a
viow to boston tho dosirod undorstouding,
"mado a clean breast" of his faults, tho
principal boing "a hot tompor that
wouldn't bear provocation, but Boon
cooled," oto. Tito lady listonod btilmodo
no remark ami my friond anxious to win
a response Anally added, that us ho "had
confessed his besetting sin, ho would liko
hor to bo equally frank." Looking up with
a misohiovoiiH twinkle in hor oyo, sho ro
pliod "Well, Mr. L., I om not a putty
womonjyou can nuiko tho tiro fly." "Ami,"
said my friond, in concluding his story,
"tho possibility of making tho tiro fly,
has effectually iirovontod unv exhibitions
of my hot temper to tho little woman at
homo." N. B. Tho world has no furthor
use for putty women or putty mon.
And now, my dear Mrs. M., as tho moun

The Woman's Dress Question.
Mrs. Lostor was in this afternoon, and
wo discussed tho much-mooted topic of
woman's dross. She thioks thoro need bo
no conspiouous reform inaugrated. If
tho sonsiblo womon all oyer the country,
who are doubtless in tho majority, will
each in her own way attire horself simply
ana appropriately with suitable regard
and disregard for fashion, tho movemont
will result, sho thinks, in all that can
reasonably bo desired. Womon who have
no brains aro woll enough' employed in
ruffling thoir skirts; thoso who havo, can
afford to wear them plain rather a Bharp
remark for Mrs. Lester to make, but con
taining a kornol of truth.
Tho flowers got thomsolvcs up boauti
fully in all rich and harmonious coloring,
in miraculously flno texturo and with
most elaborato garnituro; how thoy adorn
our houses and our tablcsl What would
tho earth bo without them? Corn and
cabbago, beans, pumpkins and potatoes,
aro vory useful in their woy, but hardly
appropriate for bouquets; wo must havo
roses and violots and dabliiB and tulips,
both for color, form and fragranoo. This
was my friend's viow of tho caso,
Tho fact is. when a lady is simply and
tastefully dressed, in neither extromo of
tno fashion, and thinks nothing ol it hor-
self, scarce any ono can romombor, after
having boon in her socioty, wuat buo nan
on. It sooms to mo that one's dross
should by all means correspond with one's
ago, porsonal appearance, circumstances
and character. Diamonds on coat so
hands loso half their lustro; gay ribbons
about cadaverous and wrinklod faces ox
cito mirth or dorision in pooplo of tasto;
and oxponsivo clothing on poor pooplo
starts questions that should novor bo rais
ed. When tho summer solstico of youth is
past and wo should begin to think longing
lv of the robos of white worn by tho saints,
what a pity to bo occupied with tho vanities
and fripperies of ophomoral fashion.

Odd Minutes ot Waiting.
While yon aro arranging tho parlor,
JuBt havo a thought for tho visitors who
must sometimes wait to see you, and care
fully rofrain from putting every object of
in tores t beyond their reach. Of course,
as a caroful hostess, you never mean to
keep callers waiting; but if they como
whoa tho baby is on the eve of dropping
to sleep, or yon are in tno midst ot plan
ning dinner with tho cook, you must wait
a littlo, while thoy aro reduced to staring
out of tho window, or to an involuntary
effort to penetrato somo insignificant
household secret. The family photograph
album is usually regarded as a sufficient
resourco in moments liko these, but is
thoro not something akin to indelicaoy in
allowing strangers and ordinary acquain
tances to turn tho likenesses of our noarost
and dearest; porhaps to criticiso thorn
with tho freedom of unfamiliarlty, or tho
unsympathy natural to a lack of porsonal
appreciation ?
Tho lato magazines a book of good en
gravings, a household volumo of poetry, a
stcrooscopo and viows, photographs of
foreign sconos, and a dozen othor things,
aro all good aids to tho occupation of stray
minutes. Moroovor, thoy often suggtst
