& As there are many who, in the present
state of affairs; are looking forward to q
qaiet life and small economies, perhaps q
word on the subject may not be pnaccep-
table. and q comment on the fact that
domestic pleasures are for once, 70 be
cultivated can hardly failsto be.agreeable.
For though it is not appreciated in the
feyerish, pleasure-seeking, dissipated So
Iciety of our large cities. 1T is none the
less true that Evenings at Home may, be
made in the end more agreeable than any
evenings abroad, and that quiet sociabili-
ty and easy intercourse may be refined
and rendered intellectual to . degree
which is far from being generally under

attention to quiet pleasures, read more

Imense collection shows that the English.
Cabinet is fully aware that they are now,

important wars that has ever Distinguished
their history. The presence Of eighty
seven thousand English troops together
has scarcely ever happened in all her milf

CLOSED, they never had but little more than
half that number IN arms. 1T is equal to
the whole army Of Wellington at Waterloo
English and their German contingents
combined. It is more than twice as
tlargs as Wellington had in the Peninsular
War, between the years 1903 and 1913.
