 Nice Peopls.-We like to see nice peo- pie, that is to say, pretty nicc-but not to troublesome or unprofitable degree. We like to sec a gentleman with well hrush- ed coat; bat we would not advise him to brush it so us 10 make it thread-bare. We admire pair of well polished boots but we should not think it advisable to polish
 them to such . degree as to form mirror
 for all the cats, dogs, and monkies to see
 their faces in. We think 1t necessary to every mans comfort and decency, to have
 a clean set ofteeth; but we should account | it worse than labor lost, to brush them so
 as to take OIf the, enamel. We like to sec
 a mans whiskers neatly cut---that is to say,
 cut off; but we should think a man poorly employed, who spent all his time in trimming
 his whiskers. We admire ncatly setting shirt collar-not false, but wo would not
 have man pcrpetually pulling up his col. lar to make it set well. ,,., l Wolike to see . lady exceedingly nice; that is, in every thing that concerns tho lproprioty or comfort of her household. In fact,i seems to US that woman can scarcely be too nice in tho matter of cook cry, the arrangement of the table, and gen- eral cleanliness of the house. In person al neatness she cannot be too exact-not
 that she should spend her time before tho glass--which indeed is not apt to bo tia case with lady who is habitually neat.
 But with oil this we would have a wo-
 man avoid all troublesome and ridicaIous society. For lady to whitewash the waR of her house, is both pleasant, healthy and sweet; but ;0 whitewash the wood she burns. is more nice than wise. Sand, skill fully spread on floor, looks wonderfully nice ; but t, is exceedingly inconvenient in bed-Eoom; and is on any floor, nei- ther more nor less than nice species of dirf M sa vnrv ssra;sass,arfhv fo fluf khsnps
