-;;;;.; TOO MI:CH.—The odd thing is that
if we look to the practical besting of current
opinions iu thin matter, we shall find that it is in
the working classes that all abstract purity which is not to
be found in hum,, nature at all is expected to be con-
centrated ; and if it be not actually found there—as hitherto
it certainly hie not--. then it is to be forced into that vast
roam by some hydraulic pressure, guided ithose who call
themselves the " better classes." Thew man is to
be ceaselessly laborious ; he is to used az3 appetite,
partaking only of just as much simple food as will keep
up his working strength; he is not to partake of any stimulant
or luxury whatever, such as set cm his part being • gross
waste and immorality ; and finally, he is to be contented
with his lot, shetaining from all comparison with other
men's lots, sad thankful for that distribution of the gifts of
Providence which makes him what he is. We do not by
any means expect the ante lofty virtues in the " better
climes." The literature especially addressed to them deals
with • number of enjoyments sad pleasures which it does
not denounce, but treats as blameless and natural. The
ladies in our works of fiction go undenonaced to balls and
pic-nice, or even to the theatre ; the gentlemen like field
sports and good dinners, for which they are not subjected to
solemn rebuke. Nay, men of matured judgment and
worshipful standing will offer, without compunction of
couscience, the result of their experience to guide their
younger brethren in the choice of their wines or their cigars;
and instances have been known where respectable old gentle-
men, conspicuous in the lists of malty beesvoleat and reli-
gious societies, have imparted to their younger friends the
unportant truth that, in the end, a little brandy-and-water
after dinner ants • saes ecodittition better than champagne
or claret. —Blackwood's Magazine for June.
Alain? Or DPDAY.—You remember reading bow
upon • day not memy yeses since, certain miners, working
far underground, came upon the body of • poor fellow who
who
had perished in the suffocating pit forty years before. Rome
chemical agent to which the body had been subjected—an
agent prepared in the laboratory of Nature —had effectually
arrested the progress of decay. They brought it up to the
surface, and for awhile, till it crumbled away through ex-
posure to the atmosphere, it lay there, the image of a fine
I (tardy young man. No eonvuhdon hnd passed over tbe face
in death—the features were tranquil ; the hair was black as
jet. No one recognised the face : • genemtion had grown
up since the day on which the miner went down kis shaft
far the last time. But a tottering old women, who had hur-
ried from her cottage at haunts the news, came up, and she
knew again the face which through all these years she had
son quite forgot. The poor miner was to have been her
boned the day after that on which he died. They were
rem people, of course, who were looking on; • liked
edwagat sad reined feeling, are not deemed essential to
the ma Inns volt it IN to get up coals, or even tin ; but
thin 1.1111 as dry epee there when the grey-headed old pil-
grim ail lismiff era the youthful corpse, andured out
to its deaf ear many words if endearment unusedpofor forty
years. It was • touching contrast—the one so old, the
other se young. They had both been young tbs.!, lon
years ago ; but time had gone on with the living and stood
still with the deed.—Presser'sdfoosziree for Jane.
