Simplicity of English Dress

In the families of many of the nobility
and gentry of England, possessing an
annual income which of itself would be an
ample fortune, there is greater economy Of
dress, and more simplicity in the furnishing
of the dwelling than there is in many of the
houses Of our citizens, who are barely able
to supply the wants of their families by the
clrsest attention to their business. A friend
Of ours, who sojourned not long since,
several months in the vicinity of some of
the wealthy landed aristocracy of England =,
whose ample rent rolls would have warran-
ted high style of fashion, was surprised
at the simplicity of manners practiced.-
Servants were much more numerous than
with US, but the ladies made more account
of one silk dress than would DO thought
here of dozen. They were generally
clothed in good substantial stuffs, spd a
display of fine clothing and jewelry was
reserved for great occasions. The furni-
ture of the mansions, instead of being
turned out of doors every few years for
new aud fashionable styles, was the same
which the ancestors of the families for
several generations had possessed-sub-
! stanial and in excellent preservation, but
plsin, and without any pretensions 70
elegance. Even the carpets, on many suits
OF parlors, had been on tho floors Tor hl'y
years, and we're expected to do service for
another b. ulf century. With US w different
is the state of things We are wasting an
am unit oil wealth io this country, on show
and fashion, which if ri shtly applied, would
renovute the condition of the whole p pu-
lutiou of the world, and christianize, ciyilize
and educate all mankind,

A Beautiful Thought.

1t was night. Jerusalem slept as quietly
among her hills as babe on its mothers
breast. The noisless sentinel stood like
statue at his post, and the Philosophers
lamp burnt dimly in the recesses Of his
chamber, Z,
But, oh dark night was not abroad
upon the earth. A moral darkness invol-
we'd the nations in its benighted shadows.
Reason shed faint, glimmeripg light over
the minds ef men, like the cold, inefficient
shining Of distant star. The Immortality
of mans spiritual nature was unknown,
his relation to heaven undiscovered, and
his future destiny obscured in cloud CT
darkness.
1t was at this period, two forms Of eth
ereal mould lowered over the land of God s
people. They seemed like sister angels,
sent on an embassy Of love. One was Of
majestic stature, and, in the well formed
limbs which her snowy drapery hardly con-
cealed,. in an impressive gesture upwards,
where the night seemed to have placed
her darkest p,vilion, while on her left re-
posed her delicate companion, 10 form and
countenance the contrast of the other, for
she was dropping like the flower when
moisteped by the refreshing dews, and
bright tho troubled eyes scanned the air
with ardent but varying glauces. Sudden
ly, light like the sun flashed out from
the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed
with exulting songs the star Of Bethle'
hem.
Years rolled away, and the stranger was
seer in Jerusalem. He was meek, un-
assuming man, whose happiness seemed to
consist in acts Of benevolence to the human
race. There were dead traces Of sorrow
on his countenance, though no one knew
why he grieved, for he lived in the practice
of every virtue, and was beloved by all the
good and wise. By and by, it was rumoret
that the stranger worked miracles I! tho
she blind saw, the dumb spoke, and the
dead lcaped into life at his touch Tha

assailed him with the charge of secretary
and impious judges condemned him t.
death Slowly and guarded, he assembled
the hill of Calvary. A heavy cross ben
him to the ground. But Faith leaned upol
his arm, and Hope, dipping her pinions il
his blood, mounted to the skies.

as they were tra7ersing a mountain pass
which was marked by numerous gullies
and ravines He was traversing this pass
at midnight, accompanied by his suqaw only,
both mounted upon the same horse, and
the night so dark that he could neither see
the outlines of the hills, nor the ground at
his horses feet, when he heard sound

scarcely perceptble to an Indian ear, of ar
arrow carried in the hand, striking ones
only with slight tick ! against q bow,

down upon the horse, that she might by nc
possibility be seen-and placed his ear tc
the ground when he heard the Same sound

therefore satisfied that however imminen
the danger he had not been, seen or heard
for no Indian would make such noise at

instantly arose and took his horse by tn

her no more. ..,........
There was nothing in her appearance to

whether a more heightened observation

that good. honest, common sense sort, yet
my thoughts were busy with her oil that

her duty as child. My heart warmed to
her, and wondered if she had learned to
love Him, who in his dying agony said -

put away from their homes the poor, feeble
parent, whose life has been consumed in

Of her days in the parish poor-house.-

"Only Have Faith.o

A friendly correspondent, writing from
Washington, Pa, says:
Like most other small towns, we have
here "oolored church," where many
amusing things are said, highly exhlleratins
to the spirits Of the few who occasionally
visit our "Hayti' meeting house. "Hayti"
is the name given to that part of our town
where "pussons of color" reside. One
winter evening, when the colored preacher
was in the midst of his sermon, making a
most violent, if not eloquent appeal to his
hearers, one of the legs Of the stove, which
had been loosened in some way, fell cut,
and as natural consequence, the red-hot
stove tipped over at an angle alarming
suggestive of fire. The audience, of course,
commenced crowding out of the door like
a flock OF black sheep. But the preacher
was equal to the occasion. Addressing
one of his prominent members, he cried
out.
"Pick up the stobe Brubber Bolah -

Poor brother Bolah had unfortunately
TOO much faith, and Immediately seized it,
all glowing as it was; but no sooner had
his fingers touched with the feryent iron
than he dropped it again, and dancing
around on one foot, blowing his skinless
fingers, he exclaimed with all the energy be

The MOTHER MoUlD Ds THE MAN.-That
it is the mother that moulds the man, is a
sentiment illustrated by the following re
corded observation of shrewd writer:
"When I lived among the Choctaw In
dians l held a consultation with one OF
their chiefs respecting the successive stages
of their progress in the art of civilized life,
and among other things he informed me
that at their start, they tell into a great
mistake; shey ouly sent their boys to school,
These bays came home intelligent men, but
they married uneducatod aud uncivilzed
wives, and the uniform result was, that the
children were all like their mothers. Thus
the fat her soon lost all his interest in both

we would educate but one class of our chill
dren, we would choose the girls for when
they become mothers, they educate their
sons This is the point, and it is true

GIVE HIM A TRApE.-If education is
the great buckler and shield of human
liberty, well developed industry is equally
the buckler and shield of individual inde-
pendence. As an unfailing resourse throug h
life, give your son, equal with good ed.
ucation, good honest trade.
Better any trade than none. Though
there is ample field for the adoption of
every inclination in this respect. Learned
professions and speculative employment
may fail man, but an houest handicraft
trade, seldom or never-if its possessor
chooses to exercise it, Let him feel, too,
that honest labor crafts are more honorable
and noble. The men of trades-the real
creators of whatever is most essential to
the necessities and welfare of mankind-
cannot be dispensed with; they, above all
others, in whatever repute they may be
held by their most fastidious fellows. mus
work a: the oar of human progress, or al
is lost. But few brown handed trade-wOrk
ers think of this, or appreciate the real
position and power they compass.
Give your son a trade, no matter wha
fortune he may inherit. Give him trad
and an educat ion at any rate trade =
With this he can always battle witt
temporal want and can always be indepen'

A Bad Fix.

oUCt OU u tlHC III Jilc NlldRC VI !
in the Stato of Massachusetts,, lived q
beauteous maiden Of seventeen, whom We
will call Fanny l., aud Geo. B
was her accepted lover. The course of
true love ran smooth, and in due process of
time came the usual happy termination of
their wooing, and The twain were made
one by the benedction of the holy church.
They were married early one summers
morning, and the same day travelled cozily
and happily together TO Now York as the
first stage of the wedding tour. As COM
panion, younger brother of the bride,
mischievous young rascal, accompanied
them, and well would it have been for the
happy pair if they had trusted themselves
to their own society, and left James at
home to ornament dog sails and spit-ball
the schoolmaster,
Well, the party arrived at the St. Mich
olas Hotel While George was dutifully
attending to the comforts of his wife, Jas.
in the performance of his duty as grooms
man, went to the Office of the hotel to en-
ter the names aud select appropriate apart
ments. Pen in hand, brilliant idea
struck him, and in pursuance Herewith,
he entered the names on the register,
thus -
James IL,
Miss Fanny L.,
George B,
Fanny retired early, being somewhat fa-
tigued with travel. George smoked his
cigar for an hour or two, and dreamed Of
his bachelorhood, we suppose, and finally
requested to be shown to his room. An
obsequious waiter came, with candle in
hand and asked what number it was.
With the lady who came with me, re-
piled George.
The waiter smiled, hesitated, and then
approached an ezquisitcly dressed clerk
and repeated the question.
With the lady who arrived here with
me, George answered again, blushing to
the tips of the ears.
The clerk smiled, and shook his head
as if in pity at the the young mans igno-
rance.
1t won't do sir. You have mistaken the
house sir. Such things are not allowed
here.
"Won't do, why only want to go tc
bed :"
That you may certainly do in your owr
room, sir, but not in the lady apartment.
Why, that lady is my wife.
The clerk bowed ironically. "All very
fine, sir, but i. won't go down, sir; her,
is the entry, sir.
George looked at the register, and thor'
, was the entry, sure enough-Miss Fam.
: l., George B..
He saw the whole secret at a glance, h
protested and entreated-b but it was n
. use. He called on James TO witness hi
. veracity, but James was nowhere to b
found. The bystanders laughed, and til
clerk was inexorable, and the poor fellow
! was forced to his solitary chamber to pas
q his bridal night; invoking blessing upo
The whole class of respectable houses an

- How George justified his conduct to til
disconsolato Fanny, this veritable histor

And gaZed upon her charms,
And, oh longed that moment
To clasp her IN my aims.
She spoke about the moon and stars,
How clear aud bright they shone,

Unless we had rain soon.
Then edged n little closer,
Put my arms around lor waist,
Ans gazed upon tn ,se rosy lips,

Said "my dearest sucy,

If leave to night without a kiss,

Then up she turn ned her rosy mouth,
Aud everything was handy,
Quick from her lips l seized n kiss
