Now that the brilliant struggle Of wealth for ostents
ton is fairly commenced it all important that correct
IDEAS Of art and taste should be generally daased for
the history Of all civilization shows that brains and
money are not often inged together and that those
classes who have the means Of adjoining and beauty

IDEAS which can alone give them efficient and profitable
direction Money lie Of Itself grace than noise
is music and it is only when the creative power Of
genius has chrysalized them into symmetry and diri
buted their powers tremendously that Beauty is pro
duced It's therefore, every way desirable that the
millionaire and the architect should 20 hand in hand

temples rising ike beauteous exhalaons on every side
we shall al last have nothing but unmesning heaps OF
costly rubbish on the one hand, and comiortess and
desolaie dwellings on the other.
We are not about to complain OF the individual taste
Of our architects nor Of the skill displayed in isolated
cases here and there in the quarters OF the City most
rapidly being rebuilt What depore, is the absence
of anything Ike concert Of action and design among
the owners Of property and the consequent djonted
fragmentary and unsatisfactory effect Of many squares
and neghborhoois which might 90 easily have been
made truly grand and beautiful Every man who
builds new house ambitious to have the roof

broader or the cornices and entabatures little richer
than bis neighbors The result is what see-an m

effects OF tue beauty. II gentlemen and ladies VINO
