THE PASSION FOR DISPLAY.

The world is crazy. The call for show
-show-and still show. There is not
one person in u thousand, male OF female,
who dares fall back on nothing but his
real simple selffor powor by whose aid
to get through the world, and extract en-
joyment as he goes along. There is too
much living to the eyes of other people.
There is no end to the aping, the mimic
ry the false airs, and the superficial arts.
And until people take new view. of
things entirely, and resolve to turn a
very short corner in order to live o
bediently to such view, the world will
go on as it has been going on for ever so
long, and all ofus will continue to chase
bubbles only to see them burst mere wa
ter drops in our hands.
1t requires rare courage, we must con-
fess to live up to ones enlightened con-
victions in these times. Unless you con-
sent to join in the general cheat, you are
hooted at and jostled out of reach.
There is no room for you among the
great mob of prctendcrs.-Ifa man dare
to live within his mean and is resolute
in his purpose not to appear to be more
than he really is, let him be applauded,
there is something fresh in such an ex-
ample. 1t deserves to be set down as
one of the oddities and curiosities of the
age. The few who devote themselves to
such fine resolutions, can we fear, be
counted upon the fingers. But still,
they are the little lcaven in the huge
lump. The mass will yet be stirred by
the truth and simplicity of their ex-
ampics. When they shall succeed in re-
storing the old times again, then we may
begin to talk about the reconstruction
of society upon new basis, and not
much before.

A BAD4sx

Once on a time in The Village of B.,
and State of Massachusetts,, lived a
beauteous maiden of ssEsateen, whom
we will call Fanny and George
b - was her devoted yer.
The course. of true ran smooth,
and in due time they Esfe married.
This occurred one sufncr's morning,
and the same day the raFeled cozily
and happily together =sEsorir-r,-
the nrst stage finer Wedding tour
AS companion du voyage, young
brother of the bride, a Smischievous
young rascal of fifteen, accompanied
them; and well it would have been for
the happy pair if they had have trusted
themselves to their own society, and
left James at home, to ornam ent dogs
tails and SNOWFALL the schoolmaster.
Well, the party arrived in the city
and went to the St. Nicholas Hotel.
While George was duly attending to the
comforts of his young wife, James, in
the performance of his duties as grooms-
man, went to the Office of the hotel, to
enter the names and select the appro-
pirate apartments. Pen in hand, a
brilliant idea struck him, and in pur-
suancc Herewith he cnte..ed their scv-
eral names on the register thus:
james l.,
Miss Fanny L,
George b, and selected three
rooms for their accommodation.
Fanny retired early, being somewhat
fatigued with travelling. George smoked
his cigar for an hour or two; and
dreamed of his - bachelorhood we
suppose, and finally requested to be
shown to his apartment. An obscquious
waiter came, candle in hand, and asked
what number it was.
"With the lady who came with me-
George replied, slightly bIushing.
The waiter smiled, and then approach
ed an exquisitely dressed clerk, and
whispered in his ear.
The clerk stepped up tosGoorge and
repeated, "what room did you say sir?''
"With the lady who arrived with me-"
George answered again, now blushing
to the tip Of his ears.
The clerk smiled, and slinok his head
as if in pity of the unfortunate young
mans ignorance.
L" 1t won't do, sir you have mistaken
the house, sir. Such thinss are not al
lowed here. .ssir. -. - x
1t wont do Why I oRly ywant to
go to bed"
" That you may very certainly do
in your own room sir, but not in the
ladys apartment, SIR
g The fady's apartment Why that
lady is my wife.
The clerk bowed ironically.
I" All very fine, sir, but it won't go
down, sir; here is the entry, SIR
George looked at the register, and
there was the entry, sure enough ; Miss
