INCREASE OF LUxURIEs.-A writer in the New
Hampshire Sentinel has file of the New Hamp-
shire Recorder Of l180-9l, from which he extracts
the story Of a Farmer" who complains of hard
shedding. through the growing extrayagance of the
times. lie was doing well, and when his second
daughter married his wife said, Come, you are
rich you know; Molly has nothing but what she
spun, and she ought to fare well as neighbor Ms
Betty" "Well, wife, do as you think best Ihaye
never been stingy." Wife goes to town and returns
with a calico gown, calamanco petticoat, set Of
stone tea-cups, half dozen pewter teaspoons and
a tea-kettle, things that never were seen in my
house before. l did not feel it, and Molly was as
well fitted out as any girl in the parish" In three
years the third daughter was TO he married, and
wife comes again for the purse but when she re-
turned what did see? sHken gown, sak for n
cloak, looking-gldss, china tea gear, &C., and an
empty purscW This was followed by extravaganza
in furniture and dress in his own house, and the
poor man is in peck of trouble, taxes and ruin,
and desires his story may be told, in hope these
growing abuses may be abated.
Conscience is the best friend We have; with it
we may bid defiance to man; without it all the
friends in the world can be of no use to us.
An Exchange says, a lazy fellow up north spells
Toncssce-l0-s-c.
Few things are necessary for the wants Of this
life, but 1t takes infinite number to satisfy the
demands of opinion.
Pedantry Grams our hesds with learned lumber
and takes out our brains TO make room for it.

Who suggested it, who was shocked, who ialnt-

in saving, that the Artists who expressed their
glorious conceptions in Marble, did not mean what
such folks are Mikg of, and perhaps it is not Ii
belous to add, that if those, at whose insugaton,
this vegetable phenomenon is occurring, were as
leafy as they are verdnnt, makers and yenders of
fertile fabrics, would have poor show for liyel-
hood.
Somewhat too much Of this pseudo delicacy is

*The leading circumstances Of the Freeman case
are too fresh in the public remembrance to need
recurring to at this time. Ellington is member
if not II minister, of the NJ. Il. Church South. BY
western letter to the Hartford Republican, he is
reported passing for minister on the steamboat
ON his way to Indiana and in that capacity as re-
buking another Southerner for profane swearing !!
Sam" is the genuine fugitive from Ellington,
found and recognized such in Canada. Lston
and Walpole were the claimants attorneys, and
lent themselves with alacrty" to all his efforts to
ensave a freeman, long as there was any hope Of
success. John l.. Robinson is the U. s. Marshal,
who-as is pretty well known-brought the Federal
power to bear in the great work Of stripping and
examining the body of Freeman.
