VIRIATION—THI marten MOVEMENT.
NEW YORK March, 6th, 1874.
FEMALE smarts.
Two women, at least,'have secured their
rights, and have now all the privileges that
men enjoy. T'wovery pretty young girls,
aged respectively 18 and 20, had a papa
who was rich, and who lived in grand style
on Fifth avenue. Papa got into the hands
of the Philistl’nes' last autumn, and busted.
The girls were genuine girls, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they had been fashionably
educated,‘and they felt their poor father’s
distress keenly; ‘The old gentleman’s
trouble'so weighed upon his mind that he
sickened and took to his bed, and got into a
bad way generally. The house in which
he lived Was-fortunately in his wife’s name,
so they could not be turned out of doors,
but as the old gentleman had sunk
every dollar he had in the world,-the ques-
tion of bread and butter became an emi-
nent one. ‘ ; ~
One morning the old gentleman’s barber
did not come around to shave him, and
Ella, the eldest girl, said she could do 'it.
She took her father’s implements and
shaved him as nicely and neatly'as any
tonsorial artist coiild do it, and dressed his
hair and trimmed his whiskers, and {prop-
ped him up in bed as comfortable {as you
-_i .
i $u«:..
pleasen An'idea struck Mary, the younger. .
“Ella. if you can shave papa, you can
shave any other man."
“True,” said Ella.
' “If you can shave a man I can shave a
man.”
“True, once more. But what has that to
_ with us i" , .
“Ella do you want to starve i”
“No; my chiidJ’
“Papa can’t get‘ou‘t—mem. is selling
off the plate to get what we eat each day,
Let us stop all this by" starting a barber-
shop."
Ella saw the point. The two girls rigged
up an extempore chair—they took their
coachman, whom they had not yet dismiss-
ed, because 'he Wouldn‘t go, and they
shaved'him for practice, and dressed his
hair, and trimmed his beard every day. To
accommodate them he brought his friends
in, and in a' week’s time the girls were ac.
complished and expert workmen, or rather
work-wOmen.. .
Then they sold the horses and carriages,
and taking the proceeds fitted up a
modest, but very neatshop in Union Square
and went at it. The first customers they
had were young swells who had known
them “in society," and great :was their
astonishment. '.
“Miss Mawy‘,” said one‘of them,"‘by Jove,
what‘led you to do‘this t” ‘
“Papa failed you know, Charles, and we
had to do this—or worse."
“Worse! worse! Why, what could you
do that would be worse l”
“Marry a man like you ?" replied Mary,
dabbing her shaving brush in his mouth.
It is an encouraging fact that the girls
have all they can do, at good prices, and
are not only supporting their parents in
comfort, but are laying up a handsome sum
besides. ‘ '
Why" should not women be barbers?”
Imagine the deft, soil, warm fingers of a
pretty girl on your facel A man would
‘ submit willingly to have his nose sliced off
by one of them. I cannot say that it s in
any way out of the way. If men are
employed in :aoy's shoe stores, where they
put on and take off lady’s boots, .why is it
not just as proper for women to be employ:
ed as barber's and to shave men ? They do
it better and more pleasant than the men
barbers, and cuStomers would never be
afraid that a’drnnken wOmen-barber would
cut {serum-ates ' ‘ ,
wn‘r Trainer’s DON’T our on.
A great many young men who come from
the country to New York, and get tolerably
good salaries, find themselves at the end of
the year in debt, and they wonder why it is.
The young gentleman is, we 'will say, a
book-keeper on a salary of $8.000. , He pays
$12 per week for board, which leaves him
about $1,400, and he calculates to :21}; by
something of that. But hc don’t and this is

He gets into “society.” Society demands
a dress suit, which costs $125, and society
demands that when he attends a party or a
dinner that he, put on white neck-ties, and
light kid gloves, at $2.50 a pair. And
society, inexorable mistress that she is, de-
mands that he shall take Aramlnta to the
opera once in a while, which means gloves,
neckties, boquets and carriage, which, with
seats at $4,00 each, means $30 for the night’s
amusement. And so Augustus discovers
at the end of the year that his $2,000 are all
gone, that he has overdrawn $500 or $1,000,
and he commences peculation or specula-
tion—the same thing so far as results go—
and Augustus drinks to drown his trouble,
and finally he lands in the Tombs and
comes out a poor, miserable wretch. This
is what happens to a great many Augus-
tuses. Society is what does it for them.
menus.
The distress among the sick unemployed
people in New York at this time is terrible.
Much has been done by the charitable to re-
lieve it, but not one dollar has been given
where ten should be. Young James Gordon
Bennett, of the Herald, established soup
houses to the extent of. $30,000, and others
have done the same thing, which is good as
far as it goes, but it does not go far enough.
The people who‘can come to the soup
houses can, generally,.gct' on without it, for

where'they live. Many prefer starvation,
to beggary, and shrink from allowing their
distress to be made public. ‘ .
A case of. this character was ' brought 'to
my attention yesterday by a child who was
begging for money with which to purchase
food and fuel. In reply to questions he
said that his mother had just been confined;
that his father had been out of work since
autumn, and that he was
DYING nor: THE FOOD
which he was too proud to beg. I accom‘
panied him to the house in Canal street,
where the family lived. The house was
small, but was occupied by anumber of
families. The boy led the way up a flight
of rickety stairs, which threatened to give
way at every step. The room presented
the appearance of the utmost squalor and
poverty. Every article of furniture which
could be sold had been parted with, and
nothing remained but a bed, a table, and
two chairs with broken backs. Upon the
bed lay a woman whose face told the sad
story of disease and hunger. The child,
which was but three days old, was at the
point Of death. The husband-father sat with
his face between his hands, and seemed
entirely unconscious that any one was in
.the room. The boy said that he had been
too sick to work—that he had had for a
weekjust strength enough to drag himself
out to beg, but that for two days past he
had obtained nothing. The attention of
charitablepersons was called to the case,
and measures were taken to provide for the
needs of the starving family, and medical
attendance .was secured for the mother,
whose child was too far gone with. starva-
tion to be saved.
There are thousands upon thousands of
such cases in the city. There is work
enough for the strong and healthy to live
,upon,but not enough to enable them to
help the unfortunate, of whom they alone
at hand. 4
. WHITE KIDS.
Speaking of dress and things, the Brook-
lyn Woman’s Club has made a discovery,
no less than that the costliness of social life
has been due to the wearing of kid gloves—
men and women have felt that they must
“dress up” to kids. Therefore the club
have inaugurated a reform by banishing
the mischevious kids from their receptions.
This will last two weeks. Dress will rule
so long as the poor devotees can stand it.
A movement has been made by crippled
people in Boston, to simplify woman’s
dress. The dry goods dealers and modistes
have not been consulted in connection with
the movement, and they exclaim as with
one voice, “What a horrible idea I" And
the rich will all echo, “What a horrible
idea i”
3 BUSINESS
is not as brisk as it was. The season has
advanced so far that the country merchants
have put off their buying till the spring, and
our merchants languish. The crash so
pleasant to their ears, is not heard—their
clerks and salesmen idle upon boxes and
bales, for the country merchant, he, in
whom they delight, cometh not. But he
will be here-in April with his plethoric
purse, or what is the same Using, his A 1
credit, and the way they will sell him goods
will be a caution. Money is tight. and;there
is a stringency and closeness in everything
that is exceedingly uncomfortable. The
Grangers have disturbed Railroad securities
stocks have changed values, and there is a
general derangement,‘ so that the average
New Yorker hasn’t any idea where he
stands. Even goods in a store have no
fixed value, for, behold you, a man’s next
door neighbor may be in a position that
cOmpels him to raise money, and to raise
money he must slaughter goods to the
demoralization of the market for days. Oh,
my bucolic friends, you don’t know how
well you are off. The man who has a farm
of 160 acres of fat land, paid for and well
stocked, is in as good a shape as any man
in the world can be. Such a man doesn’t
know what trouble is.
Think of a man worth amillion of dollars
of dry goods in his store, on which he owes
$600,000. Now the man is worth $400,000.
But he can’t sell his goods—nobody is
buying anything and his paper is maturing.
TO meet his paper he forces his goods on
the market, he sells at a sacrifice, expenses
are enormous, and when the thing pans out
hefinds his salable goods all gone, and be,
poor fellow, owes $250,000 and hasn‘t a
dollar to bless himself with.
But there is a bright side to it, sometimes.
If the poOr'tellow ought honestly to fail for
$250,000, he fails for $600,000, the odd $350,.
000 being invested in the purchase of real
estate in his wife’s name, and out of the
reach of his creditors. I heard yesterday a
conversation to this wise:
Simpson—Brown has failed.
James—Has he indeed' Well, I’m glad
of it. He’s worked hard for a good many
years and it’s time he began to lay off and
take things easy. I suppose he will set up
a carriage now. .Won’t he?
This explains it all. One merchant who
failed for a million has 600 acres of land up
the Hudson in his Wife’s name, that is grow-
ing in value, so that it is now worth over a
million. But this is not the case with all
of there. The high-minded merchant, who
fails because he cannot help it, and who
turns out everything he has, and who takes
a clerkship, has a hard and bitter life of it.
God help him! he never comes up again,
but he grows old and gray-haired, in a
hopeless, helpless way, and finally tumbles
into his grave, unwept,unhonored and un-
' sung. His old clerks even forget him.
THE Tnmmcn MOVEMENT
in its western form, has not struck us here
yet, but nevertheless, there is great activity
among the temperance and religious people.
Organizations are being perfected in every
and the work that has been done has not
been rrtuiless. The reformers here have
not demonstrated against the rum-seller,
but they have confined their work to the
rum drinker. They are establishing reading
rooms, and pleasant resorts as substitutes
for the saloon, and tea and cofi‘ee as substi-
tutes for rum. And though they have but
commenced, they have wOn thousands from
their ruin, and in one neighborhood have
compelled several rum-mills to close for
want of custom. Is not this a pretty good
way t PIETRO.

- Hair V Igor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
naturalVitality and Color.
A dressing
Which is at
once agreeable,
healthy, and
effectual for
preserving the
hair. It soon
restores faded
or gray hair
to its original
» . -* color, with the
loss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
‘lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling oti‘, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restfi'ation of vitality it gives- to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
.'cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to- the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but nonliarm it. If wanted
merely for a. HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cainbric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a. rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

THE “ BARTRAM.”
The Bartram Sewing Machinels the latest produe
tion of inventive genius. It has the
I I O
Somp locoty
‘or the Wilcox s: Gibbs', but makes the lock-stitch
wlth a revolving shuttle, which. revolving on its
carrier, is subject to no wear, and requires no olllnz
by whicbthe thread would otherwise be soiled; and
the wear and friction of a “race” is avoided. This
style of shuttle moves with greater
Raptdity
and case of operation makingone-thirdmorests'tclm
with the same motion of the foot, than any other
machine, .
Ease.
It is the easiest running of the family of Sewing
Machines. Delicate ladies. who cannot use others
can operate the Bartram without fatigue.
Best Needle.
It has the best :needle in the world—short and
straight with a fist shank. By simply putting it up
in the needle bar as far as it will go. it is set right
and never has to be varied for thick or thin goods.
Durability. '
It is, with question, the most durable machine
in the marke , as It is soslmplfy constructed (having
but tlve workln parts), that rlctlon is reduced to
the lowest oss ble degree. All the wearing parts
are made 0 the finest steel, and beautlmllyflnlshed.
‘ General Efi‘lciency.
The Inventor, (Mr. W. B. Bartram» has kept one
Important feature in view, viz., that it should be so
constructed as not to limit its usefulness to any
specialty of work, but to be adapted to hothllght
and heavy sewing equally well.
We Incite
the public to call at the agenc and examine this
new and wonderful Machine, an allow the agent to
prove all and more than we have said of the merits
of the “ Baa-ram.” . '

Oh, the sIush, the beautiful slush!
Mix’d with the mud in a savory mush,
Soaking thro’ rubbers, and gaiters, and
shoes, ‘
Tempting to suicide, sorrow and blues 1
Visions remorseful o'er memory rush—
Once I was soft as the beautiful slush.
Once I believed in committees of health ;
Once I had visions of fairly-won wealth;
Sweetly I trusted inspectors of streets,
Guilelessly thoughtless of sinecure beats ;
Never conceiving the whitewash brush
That can beautify blackest political slush.
Oh, the slash, the beautiful slush!
Even a pavement inspector might blush;
Even a mermaid might murmur her hate,
' If doomed to a worse than amphibious fate ;
Even to paddle, and jostle, and crush,
Half drowned in the beautiful city made
slush.
