Good Senss-1hs New York Times, in
the course of "A Column OF Talk for men
on Small Wages" has this orthodox para.
graph on the subject Of dress Then as to
dress, it is all nonsense to say that all men
must dress fashionably or lose caste.
What is the fashion? Who wears fash
ionablc.coat and how do you know il 10 the
fashion? Tell US one substantial mer-
chant, one thrifty mechanic,one successful
lawyer, or one gentleman who wears it,
and we will sname ten Of each, equally
notedsand successful, who do not, and ten
fops whom you utterly desPise, that do.
The fashion in New York, for men jus,
now, requires clean, decent garment, with
no patches on it-no more, no less. a lady
might wear her grandmother's shawl in
Broadway, and not be noticed. The timid
ones, and those just in from other cities
and villages, alone are worried about their
looks when they wear last winters bon
net to the church. Let the young initiate
the substantial and common sensible, rather
than those who are keeping up appearances
at sacrifice. 1t will be a saving in this
item.

MADEIRA WIsE.-The t3llowing extract
Of letter from an old resident of Madeira
confirms the previous advces as to almost
the cessation to the production Of Madeira
wine for a number Of years, and those who
fortunately have a supply Of this wine here
win have the more reason to congratulate
themselves
"The stocks of wine on this island are
diminishing, without any prospect Of more
being produced to supply their place, after
the total loss of the last vintage and the de-
struction Of at least three fourths of the
vines, The remaining fourth has little or
no strength to produce more for many
years, even in the unexpected even. Of the
wine disease, disappearing. The best vine
lands are being turned to the cultivation OF
sugar, cotton and green crop" -

The Enjoyment Of Occupation.-The
miEd requires some object on which its
powers must be exercised, and without
which it preys upon itself and becomes
miserable. A person accustomed to a ife
of activity longs for ease and retirement,
and when he has accomplished this purpose,
finds himself wfetchtd. The pleasure OF re-
Taxation is known to those only who have
regular and interesting occupation. Contin.
ued relaxation soon becomes a weariness
and on this ground, we may safely assert
that the greatest degree Of real enjoyment
belongs not to the luxurious man of.wealth,
or the listless votary Of fashion, but to the
middle classes Of society, who, along with
the comforts of life, have constant and inn
portant occupation.

Bishop Meade, Of Virginia, speaks of the
immense disproportion between the number
OF male and female professors Of religion in
the Episcopal churches, it being often dou-
BILE, treple and quadrupe in the case of fe-
males over the males. He says he has ad-
ministesed the rite Of confirmation to thirty
persons, only one OF whom was male, and
has often done it to smaller number, when
there was not one male. The Bishop ex-
presses the fear that the spropoftionment
between the professors in the two sexes is
but just presentation OF the difference in
re ligious character.

greed upon by her opponent, who was a
childless mother, and favored by fortune or
misfortune, the conclusion OF the game
found her the winner of the babe, bright,
healthy, male infant. The child was deliv-
cred without murmur. 1t seems the fa-
ther was not consulted in the matter.
