HOME Us. HorELs.--The present gene
ration live on the sidewalk. The ladies
pay $25 for bonnet to adorn principal
street, and they sweep the pavements
with the costlicst silks. Our sole hope
now seems to be to create a sensation at
the hotel or boarding house table. Our
flirtations are carried on in the street, en-
promenade, and our young and bIushing
brides commence their honeymoon in n
steamer or on railroad car. We no lon
ger live for ourselves, and for the calm
enjoyments of the family circle we onl Y
live to show our neighbors how very fine
we can live-not to please ourselves but
to astonish the Browns. The household
goods have been packed up in an old
trunk and put in the cellar, and we have
only one genuine. sincere worship-its
temple is the marble dry goods box in
Broadway, and the high priest is Stewart
The result of this is now beginning to be
visible in the lax public virtue and private
morality. The centre of all godliness,
home, is now rapidly disappearing, and

WASHINGTON IN AN ENGLISH REGIMENT.
The Liverpool Times, Of a late date,
gives a long account of the 28th REGIMENT
OF the English service-one of those re-.
Gently embarked for the seat of war and
although, from time to time, by The for
tune of war and the lapse of years its
ranks have been many times thirnned and
replenished again. its ancient histories are
preserved and held in remembrance by the
new recruits. During the revolution, and
previous to the breaking out of the war
between the colonies and the mother coun-
try, the "twenty-eighth" was stationed in
America, and Washington, then a young
man, it is said. held rank init. It was at
the seige Of Quebec when Wolf fell, and
performed Sterling service at Waterloo.
