SINCERITY AND “SHAM/ 
EMILY THATCHER BENNETT. 
Shall one who has neither the delights nor 
thecans of a “home; - ’who owns neither the 
dignity nor M ffeis the “torments” of a house¬

tasttful win on v ho pret de in and adorn

or secret d.awt-rs, to find as trophies of antiq¬

of lov.ly eyes and pretty fingers, aid be for¬ 
given, wi h the confession that made by the 
writer, ‘ pillow -stums” were never fully ap- 
precirtid. Is it a wonder then that she now 
glories in certain indications that they are to 
be affixed i o louder t y sovereign Fashion? | 
Indeed, these flated and often snowy noth¬ 
ings h;.vo caused volumes of misery—all told 
of wearici is, impatience, envy, and accrim. 
[na’ing w rJs O iy ask a few wemsn of 
goed nicm< ties who have “boarded around” 
by Fate's relentless fi >t; only question a few 
truthful servants, if ) on can find them; ask a 
few head wearied husbands who have in their 
own bouses, in luckless haste, sought pillows 
supposed to l e their own, momentarily for- 
getlul of all slums, and testimony more than 
circumstantial w ill hasten your verdict and 
vindicate complaint, and lead you to join this 
cause of ubolition. 
It has been said by good authority, that 
“Pillow-shams are essentially American.” 
Alasl and so are many other shams; probably 
the \vords7mmit elf. In England and France 
the “ladies*’cf the best households are satis¬ 
fied with lace-trimmcd and embroidered linen 
“pillow-cases,” to be satisfied with such deli¬ 
cate suggestions of ease and provisions of 
affluence or plenty, is simply to be both taste¬ 
ful and hones!:, or in oilier words, not only 
preferring sincerity, but evincing ifc; not only 
being genuine but proving it minutely. 
To employ in plainer homes white cotton 
covers for bed pillows, without even an edg¬ 
ing of cheap lace, carefully ironed in orderly 
folds, changed oftener than once a week if 
they beco ue soiled or rumpled too much, is, 
fashion aside, far nicer and more comfortable 
than to waste time with and often Ire vexed 
about “shams,*’ that, indeed, in many a sleep¬ 
ing-room are daily laid, or pinned up, over 
soiled cases that would scarcely offend a 
cleanly eye more than do such dust-heavy, 
rarely - washed, often old and splintered, 
abominable “shams/” But, ornament the 
cases, we sny, as much as you please, by 
tucked or embroidered, ruffled or laced ends, 
and the edges of the open end. which should 
be buttoned. Then they will be tasteful— 
sesthetic and honest, too; only have mercy on 
your husband’.--, father’s, and brothers’ faces, 
and not e i broider the centers, nor starch 
them if ruffled all around! If so you do, of 
course your own face may bear the same 
kind; no matter for that. Some moralists 
think that a peaceful disposition, serenity of 
mind, or absence of violent mental disturb¬ 
ance, with some certainty ensuris long life. 
Reasonably adding to this among other favor¬ 
ing conditions a sincerity of motive, thought 
and action which is habitual, is it not plain, 
my gentle listeners, that the end of the pil- 
low-sbum institution, both to please art and 
fashion—although the census-taker may never 
know it—possibly may add five year3 to the 
lives of some feminine 01 ganizations?” Few 
of us really intend to become suicides, if so 
many will encourage the corset-maker. The 
least-loved woman, while sane, does not pre¬ 
fer to hasten her demise. 
Then, as a disciple of the sincerely natural, 
the genuine in spirit, as well as the truly 
beautiful, 1 urge you to avoid, so far as possi¬ 
ble in this world of contest, where right and 
wrong are so wofully intermingled, all 
delusions, from making pillow-shams to hear¬ 
ing infidels lecture. 
Let us remember the homely but Scriptural 
illustration of only making “clean the outside 
of the platter,” and endeavor, by Divine aid, 
to have pure hearts and minds; then shall we 
be le.-.s tempted to any affectation of deceit, 
however harm!* ss it may seem, or however 
small it may be. The Frenchman’s policy of 
mingled hypocrisy and politeness is not to be 
mitated, even for the sake cf being exces¬ 
sively polite 1 But, again let it be remembered,

Your bone millis all you claim for it. In 
this county, where there are no glut mills 
its value can hardly be estimated. I grind

I like the mill you teutine very much. Was_ 
getting very few eggs from my 40 hens when 
I got the mill, but five days after they com¬ 
menced laying very fast. It is all you claim 
for it. D. R. BLACK.

The mill came safely to hand ami is perfectly 
satisfactory; indeed, it more than meets my 
expectations, es I find I can grind shells In it 
myself, which I thought I might not be able 
to do. My neighbors who have tried it pro¬ 
nounce it “splendid.”

THE LITTLE RILLS. 
“It seems to me rather out of place to corre 
down to us poor people here iu the country,to 
Bolicitlielp for your city missions when your 
cities are so rolling iu wealth. Look at the 
sums paid out in dress, in amusements and 
your homes, like kings’ palaces. Then think 
how we have to toil for every dollar we give, 
how plainly we must live, and how we must 
really deny ourselves to give at all. The bur¬ 
den does uot seem to be put on tbe right 
shoulders;” and Mr*. Dolman shrugged her 
own, in a way which showed she felt her ar¬ 
gument well put. 
“You are quite correct,” said tbe other “in 
supposing that there is money enough wasted 
in our city to well sustain ell our charities. 
The price of one rich man's house lately built 
would endow us richly. And be could build 
anotcer and never feel it. But my dear this 
wasted money is not ours, and we cannot get 
a dollar of it unless we steal it. Those who 
waste their money in extravagance are not 
the ones to feel any responsibility about the 
poor and suffering. Tbey will not even listen 
when their claims are presented. To many 
sharp men of business, poverty is a disgrace 
to to looked upon with contempt., but not 
with pity. “A man is a fool who cannot ac¬ 
cumulate money, ’ snid one. And another re¬ 
plied when asked to help a worthy came, “not 
one cent of tnv money ehallevergo to any 
charitable object.” That is the way they feel 
about it. One is reminded of tbe suggestion 
made by somebody, when a man died leaving 
his minions, be said he would to asked two 
questions in the next world. “How did you 
get money?'* and “whttdiilyou do withitf” I 
think b *th would to bard to answer. There 
are i noble few rich men, who w. >rk v> ith ilieir 
might as God’s stewards, But they are very 
few. It is the little rills, Mrs. Dulman, like 
that your society here is pouring into our 
cause, that enable it to keep working; shut off 
their little supplies from the coun.ry and wo 
must close our doors. The mites seem very 
little, but you would to surprised to see ho-v 
they count up, and how the Lord seems to 
send them aloug j ist in time to supply some 
pressing need. If you could go about w ith me, 
among our outside poor, and see the comfort 
and joy which these little jackets and sacks 
and dresses and all tho-e articles you are put 
ting up give to the suffering, you would be glad 
Indeed that you helped. J. k. mcc.
