have just laid down copy Of the Lon
don Times, with the feeling which
that Journal slways awakens us as-
tonishmeHt at, and admiration Of, the
prodigions extent to which English

tise their business. The vsunted
editorial ability Of the Times, is in
onr opinion, more than matched, upon
more than one American newspaper.
But its Advertising Supplement, and
it's own solid columns Of infinitely va
ried announcements, are wonder as
unequalled in our journalism, as it is
characteristic OF the most systematic
and ssccessful property. .acquircrs on

a hcnTCH SABBATH

The following, from Frazer Maga
zine for last month, is remarkable rs
afordlng testimony in favor OF the
strict Sabbath observance OF the Scotch
from one who only looks Mt the mat
ter in a worldly point OF view: "A
Sunday at the sea side, or IA Scotch
people prefer calling it, a Sabbath, is
an enjoyable thing. The steamers
that come down on Saturday arc
crammed to the last degree. Houses,
which are already fuller than they can
hold, receive, half dozen new inmates
how slowed away we cannot imag
inc. Every one, of course, goes t.
church on Sunday morning; no Glas-
COW man who values his character
burst stay away. We shall not soon
forget the beauty Of Sunday on that
shore-the shadows OF the distant
mountains, the smooth water, the uni
versal turning out of the population
TO the house OF prayer, Or rather OF
preaching. There is a general air OF
qniet; people speak in lower tones;
there are no joking and laughing. -
And the Firth, so covered with steam.
ers on weak days, is today uernitled
by single paddle wheel. Still it is
a mistake to fancy that a Scotch Sun
day is necessarily gloomy thing -
There are no excursion trains, nc
pleasure trips in steamers, no tea gar
dens open; but it is a day ofquIet 30
mestic enjoyment, not saddened, bn'
hallowed, by the recognized sacred
ness of the day. The truth is, The
feeling of the sancity ofthe Sabbath i
so ingrained into the nature of mos
Scotchmcn by their early training
that they could not enjoy Sunda,
pleasuring. Their religious sense
their superstition, il you choose
would make them miserable on a Sun
day excursion.

THE DAILY GAZETTE.

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 ofdress aud more simplicity
in the furnishing oI the dwelling, than
there is in II any of the houses Of our
citizens, who are barely able to sup
ply the daily wants OF their families
BY the closest;attention to. their bnsi-
ness. 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
rentrolls would have warranted high
style of fashion, was surprised at the
simplicity OF manners practiced. Ser
wants were much more numerous than
with ns, but the ladies made more &C
count of one silk dress than would be
thought here OF q dozen. They were
generally clothed in good substantial
stutis, and display Of fine clothing and
jewelry was reserved for great occa-
sions The furniture OF the mansions,
instead OF being turned out of doors
every few years tor new and fashion
able styles, were the Same which the
ancestors Of the families for several
generations had possessed, substantial
and in excellent preservation, but plain
and without any pretontion to elegance
Even the carpets on many suits OF
parlors had been on the floors for fifty
years, and Were expected to do service
for another half century. With US
how different is the state Of things;
We are wasting an amount of wealth
in this country on show and fashion
which rightly applied, would renovate
the condition OF the whole population
Of the world and christianize, civilize
and educate all mankind 90 fa.'

A FINE SloRr SPOILED. "A story
has some time been going the rounds
of the papers, to effect that Mr.. Blu,
chanan will write his inaugural ad-
dress with an eagle quill, not plucked
by man from the wing, but the free
gift of our national bird The story
says that Senator Brown, of Mississip.
pi, was proclaiming the certain elec
ton of Mr.. Buchanan, when feather
dropped at his feet from the wing OF
an eagle that was flying over. The
gentleman preserved the qnill, and
had it forwarded to Mr.. Bllchanan- =
The Baltimore Patriot, Of Saturday
last, after quoting the story, thus spoil,
ed its romance:
1t is greanpity to spoil 50 romantic
a story, but as this is prosaic age,
and We have to do with matter OF fact
people, we venture to give, on good
authority, the following version'o Of the
manner in which this particular eagle +
feather was actually procured, and the
keen and sarcastic remark its proposed
use elicit,d from a Republican Esna.
Tor:
Senator Brown was visiting friend
in the neighborhood Of Washington,
who has in cage n fine bald eagle.
While this friend was exhibiting it to
his guest, the imprisoned bird drop
from his wing feather, which Sena-
tor Brown picked up, exclaiming he
would forward it as a present to Mr.,
Buchanan. On his return to Wash
ington, he met Mr.. Seward, and after
relating the incident, told him he in,
tended to send this feather, from an
eagles wing, to the President elect
that he might appropriately make use
Of it in writing his inaugural address
"Humph!" responded Seward quietly
in his dry way--"An Eagle--a Gagged
Eagle; a SLAVE Eagle!" "
Whata world Of meaningis couehet
in those few, but significant words
and how completely they destroy al
the romance concerning the Eagle
feather,
