*" Why should oar automata made to hide
Oar yarente Amnia provoke our pride?
The art ot dross did seer bsVo
Till Era our mother, lasrmd to dn."

Dr. Watts meant to lif t op hi. robs against the those of
that very proper and neamery tatille—CiOthipe• OD. Of
to. toothed lingo of demarcation between the civilioed
man sad the savage—say between the &Kilobit= and the
Zola Kafir, is that we dress not In a way such as to pro.
yoke our pride but soberly, seriously, calmly, and properly.
And attention to this does tend to the imprommeet of
the labouring clam and all Wakes ; for it is by dress that
the clvllia.d man is marked off from the savage. The
.oci.ty seeks to improve the condition of the garments of
the labouring claaees ; it giveg • number of prime, and
employs a number of kind ladles to adjudicate on them.
Beginning at the very beginning of Ilk it offers prises for
to. best long-clothes, thee for beet child's *Wore, and so
on. It leeks to improve the dress of the labouring elms
, from the tints when they are babes of • mouth old, up to
when they are men and women; then there are prime for
cutting out of garments, the old tratockt rerh being
not forgotten, of which he was very glad. And
It te a mark of civilisation when we see clothes
nicely darned and repaired. not in holes and tatters,
! and our idea of the wife is that she I. • more notable sort of
body, when she sends out herr husband's and children's
1 clothes In 'good repair. (Hear.) Again the moiety
attempts to improve the cottages of the labouriog claws.

wished to speak about the potato ; he would not allude so
much to the other vegetables not the subjects of that
