Sensible Language.

The New York Times talks thus senslbly
upon the extravaganza Of the day, particularly
as developed in social life in New York 1t
says
If money is 10 continue the measure of
responsibility, money will be had il all sorts
Of ways and used in all degrees Of folly
There is no help for it; and hence it is alb
surd for us to be declaiming so venemently
against frauds and bankruptcies, while we are
patronizng the very principles that necessari-
ly produce these effects. Talk OF the moral
ties Of false issues Of stock and the host Of 9TH
er fraudulent transactions Talk of Railroad
manias and the many reckless pursuits of spec
ulating life The evil is not in them. 1t is
not In Wall street. 1t is not in Banks and
Brokers. Look to your splendid avenues
your palaces named Hotels-your Five Thous-
and Dollar Parties-your silks and wines
your whole system of modern American show.
There you have the roots Of this consuming
cancer-there, and there only, the flesh and
blood that feed its spreading poison. What
is the use Of wasting words on our system OF
business-on excessive credit-on fictitious
negotiations, SO long as vain and silly wives
are urging on their vainer and sillier hus-
bands to all this devouring ruin The cure is
needed at home; and, until our domestic vices
are reformed, we are whistling down the wind
in every effort made to rectiiy the monstrous
error. A great part Of this tremendous evil
is due to our women. 1t is hard to think it
harder to write it-but, nevertheless, it is
plain, honest truth. They are the money
maelstroms-they and their silks, wines, car
pets, hangings and equipages-and in them
are swallowed up the millions that are report
ed in our financial disasters"

Rather Spicy.

A lady of San Francisco, being invited to
send in a toast to be read at the anniversary
celebration Of the landing Of the Pilgrim
Fathers, furnished the following. 1t is spicy
enough to flavor half dozen anniversary din
ners:
The pilgrim Fathers forsooth What
had they to endure in comparison to the Pill
grim Mothers? Il is true they had hunger,
and cold, and sickness, and danger-foes with
out and within. But the unfortunate Pilgrim
Mothers they had not only all these to en-
dure, but they had the Pilgrim Fathers also
and yet their names are never mentioned.
Who ever heard Of the Pilgrim Mothers !
Who ever gave dinner in honor Of them g
Who ever writes songs, drinks tOasts, ann
makes speeches in recollection Of them! This
self-sufficiency on the part OF men ls beyond
endurance. One would actually suppose that
New England had been colonized BY men, and
posterity provided for by special act Of Prov
idence Only Mrs. Henans has volunteered
TO insinuate that there ever was a woman in
the case-that the Mayfower ever brought
1
anything but men across the Atlantic. i ar
sure you, my dear friends, that I am perfectly
disguised with the selfconceit of the men.
They appropriate everything to themselves
even the settlement Of colony, and the peo-
pling Of whole continent. did hope there
was one prerogative they would leave 10 wom-
an. We have submitted quietly to their in
ventions in superceding US in many things /;
but we will not tamely submit 10 be deprived
Of this one privilege We wall not ourselves
be deluded into the belief that New England
was settled and pecpled entirely by Pilgrim
Fathers. How could they have been Fathers
if there had been no Molhera' And hope,
dear Captain, that have succeeded in cor
vincing you that you will be lending yourself
to an act Of injustice towards us if you % pos
propose for your toast, The Pilgrim Motn'
ers.' III"

What shall we eat?

Ifmeat were furnished as cheap as water. it
would be esteemed too severe task to eat IL,
during such hot weather. But when it costs
SO enormously, and has no special merit OF
wholesomeness to commend it. we certainly
should be excused from its use. Still, if one
has the money to spare for it, we will not OBJ
ject to its answering very well to keep the
body in respectable condition. Beef, more
than any other meat,-providing it is from a
healthy animal, and is not too tough-is
wholesome. But then it is not needed by
most people in Summer. On the other hand,
the meat eater must sleep longer than the one
who lets it alone. We doubt not that men
who eat no meat get as much good out Of SIX
hours sleep as they who eat it do out OF seven
If 50, here is double waste--of money tor

But there is a class Of alarmIsts who cry
out against vegetables whenever an epidemic
threatens to approach. They are strong
enough in some cities to have secured the pro-
utilization of the sale Of vegetables in the mar
kets and groceries, while the Cholera pre-
vailed. Their intentions were good, of course;
but we shall not believe that ripe, fresh vege.
tables will prove injurious to mortals any more
during an epidemic than at other times. o.

Corking the jug.
NESS

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Sun,
writing from Cohasset, Mass, relates good
anecdote of physician residing it that place,
which he says is fact and the best temper
ance lecture he ever heard. Some thirty ago
this doctor was addicted 10 hard drinking, and
neglected his professional duties to such an
extent, that the people were obliged to send to
Boston for a new physician, young man,
whom they colonized amongst them. Things
went on very well for time, the old doctor
losing patients, and the doctor finding them.-
At last this brace of pestles met in store,
the old doctor purchasing jug of rum,' and
the young doctor buying barrel of flour.
Some invidious remark of bystander called
forth a sneer from the younger and more -four
ishing of the two doctors. This was noticed
and interrupted by the old one, who with a
calm and deliberate air, put the cork into the
Jug of rum, and turning to the sneering oppo-
nent he said, i have put the cork into that jug,
and will never take it out again until have
starved you out Of the town of Cohasset.' He
kept his word, and in about year from that
time he had regained his old patients and
friends and obliged the young doctor to eva.
cuate, for fear of starving out

CHAPTER Ii.

Mrs. MAXWELL loved fine clothes quite as
much as any other woman of the nineteenth
century, and this is saying great deal. But
then her husband was parsimonious, and
though she loved mice things very much, she
loved money more-which, we take it, amounts
to nothing more nor less than meanness.
Mr.. MAXWELL was farmer and well off in
the world. The advent of the railroad into
his native town had turned things topsy-turvy
in general, and the heads of the women in
particular-to use Mr.. Waxwell's classical
language. Time was when they were con-
tent to wear straw bonnet and calico gowr
to meeting; but now they had to rig out il
silks and satins, with founces and furbelows
and all sorts of rigging hitched to 'em, for al
the world just like clown in the circus
Such were Mr.. Waxwell's views of the social
influence of the railroad,
Society began to be little Select folks

Several quarters Of ouE city, says the Savan-
fthese fine songsters. Many Of them continue
TO pour forth torrent Of melody day and
night, almost without intermission. The
powers Of imitation Of these birds have not GER
tainly been overraled. When in The right
hun'or, they will initiate all sorts of sounds,
even the Growing Of cock. II they do not
succeed well the first time, they will repeat
The effort, always gainirg ~ correctness, until
they master The sOhjee; -seuetimes with exac,
truth, sometimes failing 10 render the notes

But il is as composers, not as inatQtors, that
the mocking birds most command our admira-
lion. There appears to be no end 10 their pow
ers of combination. There is variety and
strange contrast in their song, that would be
sought for in vain In any Of the sounds present.
ed for their imitation; Sometimes they will
begin low down on the scale, working M The
gamut, stopping here and there TO throw of
ad hbitum variations, then starting again, al
ways ascending and repeating the same process
Sometimes they begin at the top Of their scale
and descend in like manner.
AT one moment they will touch a note, re-
peat IT several times with greater or less de-
gree Of emphasis, and then they will fiat or
! sharp the same note after the same manner. Ii
would require the pen Of good musical com
poser, TO trace out in faithful description all
the phases of their songs. We have often fol-
lowed out forty or fifty different arrangements.
Within this limit, Chat Of our memory,) we
could pronounce with certainty that the same
sony had not been repeated.
| We are persuaded that there is scarcely any
limit TO their combinations The lark, doubt
less, surpasses them in the joyousness of his
note-the thrush, nightingale, and perhaps
other birds, in liquid sweetness. But in the
variety and combination of notes, in compass
and fexibiity, and in marvellous facility Of ex-
ecution, the mocking bird bears away the palm.
Nature furnishes in the feathered tribe voices
of all descriptions that

those Of certain prima donnas.' The mock
ing bird, like The matchIess Catalina, unlles
all styles With compass that comPrehrnds
every note, from the purest soprano down to
the deepest contralto. The bird il rightly
named, and its voice is wisely adjusted 10 its
task. With sweetness alone, il would be una
BILE TO render its great variety of inonations.
