A Brief Discourse.

Text-;There is way that seemeth
right unto man, but the end thereof, >
&c.
We hope it will not be deemed sacreli-
gious to quote here this sublime precau-
ton from the oracles of divine truth, as
text to discourse from in the mannar
tuat follows, although in aid Of subjects
of a somewhat peculiar nature apper-
tanning however to morality.
1t may seem right to man to neglect
paying his debts for the sake of lending OF
speculation upon his money; but the en- d
thereof is bad paymaster.
1t may seen right to man to attempt
to live upon the fashion of the time, but
the the end thereof is disgusting to all
sensible folks, and ruinous to health
reputation and propriety.
1t may seem right to man to keep
borrowing of his neighbors; but the end
thereof is very cross neighhass. >,
1tmay seem right to man to trouble
himself about his neighbor's business,
but the end thereof is neglect of his
own.
1t may seem right to man to be al
ways trumpeting his own fame; but the
end thereof is that his fame don't extend
very far. ..--.. .-.-s -....-.-.s-
1t may seem right to man to indulge
his children i'll everything; but the end
thereof is-his children will indulge in
dishonering him.
1t may seem right to man to be con-
stantly slandering his neighbors: but the
end thereofis, nobody believes anything
he says. .. -. ..,...-5 ...... .-
1t may seem right to a man to at
! tempt to please everybody; but tie and
thereof is, he pleases nobody.
It may seem right to man to excel
his neighbors in extravaganza and lux
ury; but the end thereof is--he only
cxcels them in folly.
1t may seem right to great many
not to take newspaper; but the end
thereof is-that man has vain idea
of what is right and his family are to-
tally ignorant of the ordinary occur
rences of the day.
It may seem right for man to wor-
ship a creature more than the Creator,
but the end thereof is-an idolater.
It may seem right for man to OBJ
tain his news by borrowing of his neigh
bors; but the end ereofis-fraud upon
the printer.
1t may seem right for man to be inces-
sanity occupied in boarding up treasures
of this world; but the end thereof is-he
has none in the world to come.
1t may seem right to us to further ex-
tend this discourse at the expense of the
reader; but the end thereof is-here.

A country gentleman lately arrived
at Boston, and Immediately repaired to
the house of relative, lady who had
married merchant of that city. The
parties-were glad to see him, and invited
him to make their house his home, as he
declared his intention of remaining in
that city only day or two. The hus-
band of the lady, anxious to show his
attention to relative and friend of his
wife, took the gentleman's horse to a
livery stable in Hanover street.

He looked cold, and half peramulated

The "Hoops" Question.

We find the following defense of the
peculiar institution" in the New York
Tribune. It furnishes the best reason
that may be given for the modern side
walk monopolizers, and may even ease
the conscience of some who think that
the ladies appropriate too large share
of church pews:
To the Editor ct'Hte Ne,o YorA; Tribune:
Sir:-During the cooking controversy
which has especially ragged in The Week
iy Tribune, have kept silent and learn
ed all | could from you and the various
idividuals who have contributed their
views and experience to that important
subject. But in The Daily Tribune of
Feb. 21st, subject of equal Importance
is mentioned in manner not to be pa
ticntly borne by womanly nature-T
allude to 'hoops." You do not like
them; very we'll, you do not wear them,
suppose, consequently you know moth
ing of their convenience. If l tell you
that qoop skirt relieves the hips and
body of the wearer of a load which
would be necessary in its absence, you
will say, why necessary, either with or
without hoops? In reply, 1 would ask
you how you would like to see the streets
of New York city ornamented with wom-
an in pantaloons? and do you not think
that they (pantaloons, of course) would
be quite as becoming as drapery which
shows the figure with every movement.
No woman ventures, unless compelled
by necessity, into the street when the
wind blows if scant drape1y be the
reigning fashion. No true man would
make remarks about the flying skirts,
but there are plenty of miserable wretches
who would; and but few high minded
women have Independence enough to
brave the jeers of such creatures A
person can walk with much greater
ease with hoop even if the same
amount of clothing be worn; there is
buoyancy in the balloon like structure
which is great relief to all who are un-
fortunate enough to wear skirts. You
say that the Empress Eugenie, ''for pur-
poses of her own," first started the, to
you, terrible fashion," Pray, do let
the Empress Eugenie's and your wife's,
if you have one, and your neighbor's
wife's, and every body's wife's purposes
alone. If women are foolish enough to
get married, do please let their dress
alone. If they can contrive to appear
in public one fourth of year at Il time,
do let them do So
Respectfully YOURS.

sFifty years Hence" !"

Right Rev. Bishop Clarke (says Bal
timore American) is stated to have de-
livered recently lecture on the above
subject, in which occurs the following
passage; whether intended for prophecy
or satire, however, we are not exactly
able to determine:
% Fifty years hence the newly mar
ried pair will step into an emporium for
the sale of houses, look over the book
of patterns, select one to suit their taste
and means, order it, and it will be sent
home in the morning, put together and
occupied at night. .-..
I'm TRAVELLING. as great changes will
take place. Instead of the dusty road
and crowded car, there will be splendid
locomotive hotel, flying over the road
carpeted with turf and bordered with
shade trees, and heralding its approach
with music, instead of the domoniac
shrieke of the steam whistle, and labell-
ed through from Boston to San Francis
co in four days.
Instead of the unsightly telegraph
poles, there will be fifty years hence, a
neat work under-g ground, and under the
blossoms of the deep, and it will click
off thoughts instead Of words. Then the
electric battery will light all the street
lamps at once, enable all the clocks in
the city to keep exact time, and kindle
the becons on the dangerous rocks,
where now men hazard their lives and
wear out their lonely days. .--.
