days of good Queen Hess" as they are still
lovingly called in popular tradition, stand
out as a halcyon time, intermediate between
the ancient villeinage, and the modern sys-
tenn of unskilled and impoverished labor,
which is almost as bad. And why are they
described in such golden languages Why
is the England of Queen Elizabeth called
"merrie Englandp 1t is because, in that
age, not only the great proportion of the
farmers were independent yeomanry, but
tho farmers bore their proper ratio TO tho
other classes of the State. Increase the pro-
portional number of American agriculturists
above the present ratio of employees in our
eastern cities, and you will increase in the
same proportion the prosperity of the coun-
try and the Independence of its people. 1t
Is not necessary to go TO the great West, or
to have thousands of dollars, in order TO es-
tablsh yourself as farmer. There is land
enough in your own State, which can be
bought or leased cheaply, and which is To-
Gated near railroads. Thousand and tens of
thousands of our city poor might redeem
themselves, and leave their children in
comparative comfort, if they would but
break away from the town and 60 out into
the country to till mother earth.-Ledga.

Evil Speaking.

The following anecdote is related of the
late excellent J. J. Quincy, by one who, as
child, was often one of his family circle:
One night remembered it WE'LL re-
ceived severe lesson on the sin of evil
speaking. Severe I thought it then, and
my heart rose in childish anger against him
who gave ii; but | had not lived long sneash
in this world TO know how much mischief
child's thoughtless talk may do, and how
often i; happens takers run off the straight
line of truth. S. did not stand very high in
my esteem, and was about to speak fur
ther of her faiings of temper. In few
moments my eyes caught look of such
clam and steady displeasures, that stopped
short. There was no mistaking the mean
ing of that dark, speaking eye. 1t brought
shame to my heart. was silent for few
moments, when Joseph John Quincy asked
very gravely:
"Dost thou know any good thing TO tell
us of her?"
did not answer; and the question was
more seriously asked;
"Think; is there nothing good thou canst
tell us of her!"
30, yes know some good things, but"
"Woud it not have been better, then, to
relate these good things, than to have told
us that which would lower her in our es-
tecm' Since there is good TO relate, would
it not be kinder to be silent on the evil -

Simplicity Of English Dress.

In the families OF many of the nobility
and gentry of England, possessing an an
nual income which OF itself, would be an
ample fonuue, 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 10 supply the wants of their families
by the closest 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 warranted high style OF fashion, was
surprised at the simplicity of manners prac-
