re- A new cap is one of the creates

Eg y new cap is one of the greatest
of the minor luxuries of life.
We have long felt the need of this lux
ury. Through the summer our ft 1t has
not been of the most elegant kind, and a
jou rney East and its consequent use as a
night cap rendered its appearance pecul-
iarly disconsolate. Impelled almost to
desperation we donned a tall white
beaver, but were unable to support the
dignity which it demanded.
Our friend CHARLEY WHITE, seeing
tho harrassing condition we were in, in
vited us into his store and presented us
with an elegant cap Of the latest style.
The remaining portion of the Journal
corps, envious Of US Immediately supplied
themselves with one Of similar pattern.
From tba pyramidal nature Of the con-
struction Of these running rapidly
to an apex, they have received the name
Of Editorial Brevities."
BY the way, CHARLEY has a fine lot of
caps yet on hand.

re- 1t is a settled fact. that the mel

g 1t is settled fact. that the men
tai and moral qualities of an individual
greatly influence our judgment of their
personal appearance. Thus PERSONS
face may be very plain, but if there are
joined with it estimable qualities of mind
and heart the idea of LONELINESS does not
occur to us, The same philosophy holds
good in regard to inanimato things. For
instance, the gong at the GREENWOOD,
Just sounded for dinner. Viewed alb
s'ractly, that gong has a harsh, disagree
able, uprorarious sound, but suggesting
as 1t does an excellent dinner-the fill
ing up ofan ''aching void" it becomes
"pleasant to the SOUL" and to the ear
also.
