We take the following excellent OBJ
servations from an article on SOCIAL LIFE,
in the number OF the Christian Examiner,
which was issued on the first of the cur
rent month
Notwithstanding the perfect equality
Of our institutions, there is constant I'M
pulse, in the community, to get each a
bove the rest We are all placed on the
broad level of a perfect equality, but we
are not contented to remain there long.
We forbid, indeed, any artificial assist
ance from birth, or government, or here
dtary rank but the strl,a goes on,neyer"
theless, among ourselves. Some sue
cecd, and some appear to succeed, but
rather by their pecuniary success than in
any other way. The evidence Of this
success is given out in display, in costly
expenditure, in luxurious indulgence, in
extravaganza when it exceeds reasona-
BILE limits, and in generous liberallty
when it does not pass these bounds.
The consequence Of this is passion
for dress, magnificent buildings, and
snowy entertainments. The first is al
most universal, and, like most other tis-
positions of the human mind, has It's ad-
yantages as well as its evils; its positive
and desirable benefits, when regulated
by sound judgment; its lamentsble mis-
chiefs, when it snaps the reins of dlscre-
tion. 1t is beneficial, no doubt, by en-
couragiag honest industry as the means
Of lawful indulgence; it gives employ
ment to numerous useful classes, who
minister in the saloons where fashion
holds her court; it encourages elegant s.
useful arts, and gives our population a
neatncss and decency of appearance
which generate kindred valuable quail
ties. There is a self-respect inspired
by a creditable personal appearance
which has an effect on the manners, and
even the character. OF the thirty thou
sand people of all ages, and sexes, aud
conditions Of life, who thronged the
streets of Boston on the second ccnten-
nial celebration Of it. settlement, not an
individual was to be seen who was not

sed.
