SIMPLICITY Of dress,

Female lovsliness never appears to
so good advaeage as when set off with
simplicity ofdrcss. No artist ever decks
his angels with towering feathers and
g,ldj jewelry; and our dear human
anyels, If they would make good theiI
title TO that name, should ca :efully avoid
ornaments which probably belong 10 In
dian squaws and African princes. The
tinselles may serve 10 give effect on the
stage or upon ball room floor, but in
daily life there is no substitute for the
charm Of simplicity. A vulgar taste 10
not to be disguised by gold and diamods
The absence Of true taste and real rs.
6nement Of delicacy, cannot be com.
pensated for by the possession Of the
most princely fortune. Mind measures
gold, but gold cannot mea sure mind.-'
Through dress the mind may be read.
as through the delicate tissue Of the let.
ter press. A modest woman will dress
modestly, really refined one will bear
the marks Of CAREFUL selection sad
faultess taste. -.a t.,} r..

Canada-Its Probable Independence

Read what is said in an influential
English journal upon the probable indie
pendence Of Canada. 1t is significant:
"America has granted TO Canada a
boon Of incstimable value and this con-

dians can now send their wllca, ana -four

to Montreal, and then shipped to Eng.
land; but New York is MS near 10 Ham.
iltons the great agricultural market Of
Western Canada as Montreal and when
the wheat or -four reaches New York
it is more valuable than it used to be
when it reached Montreal, as the freight
and insurance o Liverpool is less from
the former than from the latter Of those
ports. Now, when America chooses she
can put and end to these bonding priv.
ileges, and the mere threat Of their with.
drawal might lead to annexation. Were
she to concede fully reciprocity which no
doubt will prove the case ere long, the
|nducement for Canada to break off her
ties to England would become almost ir-
resistable. Indeed this one ofths main
objects to which American statesmen arc
anxiously looking; tho indulgences they
havo granted have hisobject steadily in
view; TO use their own pnraselogy, they
adopted the bonding system to Ameri'
cans in the North British trade; and to
make its advantages SO sensibly felt that
any sudden disruption would convulse
the whole of Western Canada, and com
nel it to win back its suspended prosper
ity by uniting the province with the Strl'
pes and Stars.-The preference which
once enjoyed in English harbours and
Of which she is now deprived, has found
its compensation in the American ca
nails. The States and the colony are
bound together by the bond Of gain, faI
stronger in our cosmopolitan age than
the bond of patriotism or nationality

MAMMOTH STEAMER.

England for the construction Of a steam.
er 600 feet long, and ofthe bur,hen Of
$4,000 tons measurement. She is TO
be propelled by two sets Of side wheels.
and screw at the stern. These will be
worked by three independent engines.
The experiment Of navigating the Ocean
with this gigantic steamship, will be
looked for with much interest. II it is
successful, the example will, no doubt.

A Happy World.

This is happy world; who says to
the contrary is a fool or something
worse. There is everything TO make us
happy. The land, sea, and sky, conni.
butte to our enjoyncn,s. The man who
has n good heart sees pleasure where q
bad person behold nothing but gloom.
The secret then in being happy and
enjoying this glorious world is to possess
a virtuous heart.
Who is the most cheerful man and
contented man in your neighborhood!-
The man who is the most honored and
possesses the greatest riches? No; it il
he who has nothing but kind and good
heart. s
Nothing rufles his temper or disturbs
his rcpose. The morning sky the eve.
ming clouds, rolling waters, the bloom
ing landscape, the tceming forest and
fields Of snow, give him pleasure Others
never dream Of. 1t is he whose mind is
"led from nature up to natures God,
and every day that he lives he is as con
tented and happy as i, is possible fo'
man to be. +
Depend upon It, the world is beau

see and feel who's hearts are pure ant
whose lives correspond 10 the word o

Wrought Iron from the Ore.

We sometime ago printed a state.
ment to the effect that person by the
name Of Jas Renton, residing at Newark
New Jersey, had discovered process by
which 20 obtain Wrought Iron directly
from the ore; and we arc now grstisfed
to add that the expectations Of those ia.
miliar with the process are fully realized
by its practical results. The Seize life
American, referring to the subject, says
that ",he furnace erected by the paten.
tee and his associates, in Newark, works
we'll, and is approved by all who have
seen it in operation. so that all that has
been said in its favor this far proves
true.'
Should this invention be fully brought
to bear, it must have a most important
effect upon the price Of iron.-Harris.
