p@r In the families of many OF the
nobility and gentry of England, posses
sing 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 daily wants of their families by the
closest attention to their business. A
friend Of ours, who sojourncd 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, who 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 be thought of dozen.
They were generally clothed in good
substantial stuffs, and display of fine
clothing and jewelry was reserved for
great occasions. The furniture of the
mansions, instead Of being turned out of
doors every few years for new and fash
ionable styles, was the same which the
ancestors of the families for several gen.
erations had possessed-substantial and
in exccllentpresesvation, but plain aud
without any .pretensions to elegance
Even the carpets on many suites of par
lors had been on the h5or for fifty years
and were expected to do service for an.
other balf century. With US how diff
erent is the state of things. We are
wasting an amount, of wealth in this
country on show and fashion, which,
rightly applied would removate the con-
dition of the whole population of the
world and christianize, civilize, and edu-
cate all mankind.

every lady in the room made practice
of taking off her left stocking last. One
half denied the fact; the others declared
that if it we're so he had.no right to know

A KoMANcE.-On Monday last, on
the arrival Of the morning train from the
East, two German girls stepped out of
the cars, and were Immediately recop-
nized by two young men who were stasd-
ing on the platform, when they were
clasped in each others arms. Their
emigration to this country forms an IN
teresting story. The young men are
natives Of Wurtemburg, Germany, and
when in their native place, fell in love
with the daughters Of wealthy citizen,
and their love was rcciprocated on the
part of the daughters.
But tho attentions of the youths,
who were poor, provoked the ire of the
parents Of the maidens. They would
not be disgraced by the marriage of their
daughters to two poor young men of
Wurtcmburg." Finding that the old
folks" could not be reconoiled, they hit
upon the following plan, formed sacred
agreement:-"T TIE young men would
leave Wurtemburg, end come to the
United States, and earn money, when
having earned enough, they would send
for the object of their affection, they de-
claring constancy till death" They
parted. The young men came to Amer
lea, and by the persuasion of friends
who had proceeded them to this country
they settled down to bard labor in Am
berson's Valley, some miles distant from
IShippensburg. After working about a
year, they accumulated the means nec-
essary to convey the idols of their hearts
from Germany to America, and imme-
diately dispatched it to them" spend
ing many sleepless nights IN anxiety for
their arrival" On Monday last their
cup of joy was filled, for their loved
ones reached them in safety and 10 health
They left home unknown to their pa
rents, and came alone four thousand
miles, without meeting an acquaintance,
till they embraced their lovers at the de-
pot in Seippcusoorg. = Shippensburg,
Pa. Ners.
