What Stays Oost Us.
The mischievous person, who first
brought in stays (sorae suppose her to
bnve been Mademoiselle Palatine, a
mistress of Marshal Saxe, others say an
early Norman lady -and, no doubt, from
very early times stiff stays have been
-worn) is to bliChie for the first and great-
est defect of modern appearance -the
grotesque outline of thebody-and many
a (lire disease.
We are not denying the necessity for
some close -fitting garment,as a support
to the body and an improvement to the
figure. People Who refuse to wear any
corsets at all look veryoslovenly ; but we
must protest against a machine that,
pretending to be a servant, is in fact a
tyrant; that, aspiring to embrace, hugs
like a bear, crushing in. the ribs, injur-
ing the 'Junes and heart, the stomach.,
and many other internal organs. The
Eastern lady who, pitied for her dull
harem life, said she more pitied,English
wives, whose husbands (as shenmocent-
ly thought) "locked them up in a box,"
was not far wrong. And all to what
end? The end (4 looking like a wasp,
and losing the -whole charm of graceful
lemma movement and easy carriage -e -
the end of communicating an over-alleish
sense of deformity !
Nothing is so ugly as a pinched waist;
it puts the hips and shoulders invariab-
ly out f privation in width, and it is
a practice more culpable than the Chin-
ese Gile• of deforming the foot -in this
case Ito vital organ is interfered with,
while in deforming the waist almost all
the vital organs are affected by the pres-
Bare, and the ribs pushed out of their
propt-r place.
'To those who know anything of mare
tonty., the impoesibility of the organs
retai g their na tm al place. and por-
foemillat effectually their natural func-
tion. *hci the ribs are pressed in upon
them. will at once be blear. All space
in the lasly is utilized. and required by
health ; and though while the pressure
affects the flesh anal fat enly, no harm
resufts, directly the bones are tetiched,
the vital organs suffer. One eau easily
diseover whether one's comprelisioa
moves the bones by Incas-11ring the
width across the ribs with and without
the etays.
And the face betrays the condition of
the hseitle. Who can forgive the un-
healthy cheek and red nose induced by
such a practice ? Who can forget the
disettee which has come tor is corning?
What sensible inan or woman can pity
the feel sale faints, perhaps in the
midst nf a. dance or convereation, from
the unbearable pressure en the heart,
eataa d by stays and girdle -or, if they
pity. do net also Lirieir for her?

character and its outwardj reflection -

not be destroyed, but su ported; her
beautiee revealed sot stiflea; her weak-
nesses veiled, not exposed 1 her defects

should be tolerated whioh simply tends
to burlesque her. As, in site of Quak-ers and philosophers, womisn are likely
to spend money and. time over their
dress to the end of the 'chapter, the
sternest censor may well join in the
hope that not the•girl of t e period, but

Cruelties of Sq-Lww-s n the Bat-
tle Field.
Our special coirespoode t with Gen,.
Howard writes that the w unded were
fearfully tortured and m.0 ilated by the
Ne z Perce squaws on the ]3ig Hole bat-
tle ground. The soldiers ad taken the
Indian village, but being overpowered
by ninnbers were obliged to fall back
and fight their way to a sition on the
side of the mountain whic the eneray
-.
had already taken possesi n . of. They
had a desperate encounter but carried
the point, and immediately dug trenches
with their trowel ba,yon ts. In the
meantime thewounded ha, been left on
the bottom by the creek, a. while the
buelts set fire to the grass and tried to
barn the little band of 'soldiers out of
their trenches, the squaws mau gled
and tortured the poor fellows who were -
still alive but unable to help themselves.
The atrocities perpetrated upon the
helpless boys in blue by these she devils
can hardly be realized by any one unac-
customed to tales of barbarity. They
heated their camas -hooks red hot and
then thrust them into the odies of the
wounded, mangled them ia every con-
ceivable manner, and sl wly torturecl
themto death in ways onl know a to red
devils. Early in the action a bugler, a
mere boy, was wounded in both' legs.
One of his comrades carried him off the
field and then returned to the fight, the
bugler saying that he would rest there a
few minutes and then try and walk off
to a place of safety. The Indians got
possession of. the creek and 'bottom
land; ;the squaws diaoovored hiin, mti-
tilated_thim, and burned both his eyes
out. ' he boy's sufferings can be imag-
ined, and death was certainly a welcome
relief to him. -Salt Lake ( Utah ) Trib-

"You will never be so happy with

mother. "When they get older you
will have more care and. Esnxiety about
them ; you will not know where they
are, or -What they are doing, and it will
be a constant worry all this time." She
had dropped in., and saw Irio tuck them
all lap their nests, after they had said
their prayers. I did not believe her
words were true, anal do not believe it
now. As they grew olde , there were
-many temptations to enti e themaway,
from berate to spend tlLeir evenings.
There were taverns, sterns, groceries
and shops, that were places of resort
for men and boys; and I knew that un-
less their home had inoee attractions
than these places, my fair, pure boys
would be allured away. hey could no
„longer, go to bvi early. S I determined
to devote inn evenings t them. We
played ganiesi of difierent ;inds-odd or
even, Jack straws, demi oes-and as ,
they advanced in years, nore compli-
cated games -checkers, backgammon
and authors. My plan ranked well.
They found more h.appi ess at home
than elsewhere, and very- eld.oni asked
to go away. I used to incite their play-
mates to cora5 and spent an hour or
two occasionally with the n; and played
with theni too, and such 'oily times as
they had! I think it did mo good -it
kept mo in sympathy wit 1 the children..

Mayed. Hiss aiiit rise* and he enter
heartily into the contest. He seems to
enjoy it thoroughly. Time and. again
you think you have slain him, but fin.d
Toil have only made 'pair own head ring
with the violence of the blow. AnZ.
quite likely you are for9ed to retire from
the contest leaving bine master of the
field. It may not be a single fly,' how-
ever, but a.'myriad that swarm around
you, nestling in. your hair, tickling your
noses, biting gently yonr ear, walking
boldly down to the very nib of you
pen, and impudently scanning the ve
words you write. And7 worse than .a
how they riot in the unprotected dining
room! The air is alive -with them, the
revel in the fragrance of the comb!).
viands, they settle in regiments on th
table -cloth. In vain you wave yo
napkin.frantically ; it gives but a sec-
ond's respite. They walk straight lute
your dish of peas ; they fly out Pf th
sugar bowl as youuneover it; they swiliL
in the creara pitcher ;--they stand aroun
on the syrnp )ug; they 'drop into yo
pudding while you are eating it, The
are omnipresent, and give you such a
sense of uncertainty in regard to every
article of food that eating become
burden. Worn out- at last, you pack
your trunk, and. seek, though it may be
vainly, for some blissful haven less
favorable to the development of flies.
Choosing a Wife;
It can be said. of but, very few Men
that they choose a wife as they would a
horse -fitted to use and circumstances;
yet would it not be better for all con-
cerned, were this oftener the case. A.
man who has not a particle of taste for
intellectual pursuits. will choose a -wife
delicate and refined, perhaps for the
reason that she was admired by those
who were capable of appreciating her,
and, placting her in- his kitchen, remov-
ing her frore. every association of past"
enjoyment -ten to one the consequences
will be a faded slatternly woman,. with
acid temper, and a wretched house-
keeper, and the husband will wonder
why his wife is so different from some
Polly Ann of his acquaintance, who
looks so rosy and. sings so merrily as
she rattles the shining milk -pails and
rmulk.pans.
What -would .we think of a farmer
who would purchase a sensitive, high-
spirited horse„ and plape it before the
plow, with the d.etfirramation to brea,k
'its spirit or its neck, If he should sue-
ceed. with the former, hi3 would no doubt
need. another horse to drag that One
around.
-If you are a farmer, choose some
stout rosy lass who will be helpmeet
for you; if you are a minister, cheese
some intellectual woman who will walk
hand in hand with Von through life.
Many a, woman who raight"have been a
shining light in a different sphere, drags
out a weary, overworked. existence in
some fa,rrahouse, andeafter a few years,
sinks into the grave and. is dismissed
from the husband's mind' with the re-
mark,-" Wel, she was a sight o' trouble
to ; al'ways discontented and unhap-
py, and no end_ of docter's bilis," while

Extravagance.
Although I have leen dealing with
the moralitiee of dress, I have net said
went about extravagance. This is a
meat important subjeet. DO doubt, and
one which Vvoryllody is hound. to settle
for lid:wit. But the whole morality of
luxt,Q. is quite a seiatrate branch, and
must be separately diseuased.
Ladies are accut;ed of epending too
on their dress ; my point is, that
whether they pend little or much, they
'Inv lay their ticiley out en right -or

too much about area,: ; I should say
thy Lliiiik too little, or rather they don't
think at all. If they thought a little

We are most anxious that women
should devote, not less time , less money,
less study, to the art of self -adornment,
but even more, if the results are pro-.
portionately better. We are anxious
that a pretty girl should make the very
utmost of herself, and not lose one dav
of looking beautiful by dressing badly
"while her fresh youth lasts. We are
desirous that when the first freshness is

then the art which once enhanced

Judgeereport, as basis of Award, to wit: " be-
cause of certain mechanical arrangements, which
facilitate the working of the Instrumento, to-
