Think YOU WAsHINGToN would ever have had the
sparkling and dazzling halo OF glory put upon ms
brow If he had thus confined within the compass OF
his own body his giant intellect? Were Newton, |
Bacon, Locke-who revelled in the hitherto unex-
plored depths of the rain Of their personal
dress? How utterly absurd is the idea. As much as
the mind is superior to the body, much let il be cul
tvated and adorned above the casket which encloses
the jewel. Clothing was originally designed slnply
as protection from heat and cold. So the simple
minded settlers of this in primitive times, considered
it. They attended TO Their lntelecs and where can
be found on the records of history mere sensible,
sturdy, minded, interesting class of men? The
puritans who landed poor and housecss, on the ice

the imitation of all future ages.

supremacy laughabe and ridiculous Look at that
mncng creature in pants and the ct ceteras OF his
tribe picking his way, tenderly walking on his toes,

$400, the other is citizen worth $506O00. The one
IS thinking of spot on his snow-whe bosom-the
other of some mighty discovery in astronomy or
mechanism. Now for whom, dear, gentle modest
reader do you feel the most respect? The one to be
sure, has cowhida boots and homespun coat-the
other wears broadcOth, cut in the extreme of London
fashions. Will you do homage to MIND, or to the
covering of the shell ia which it is enclosed?
We have commenced warfare against these in
