FAsiIoSABLE RErRENcnNESr.f The New York
Mirror gives the following pleasing Instances:
"We admire the good taste Of a sensible young
Englishman Of our acquaintance--in good business,
by the by but who doubtless fees the pressure Of
the present commercial distress-.-who goes quietly
TO what he calls the twenty-five cent department
Of the Italian OPERA and listens in plain dress,
and at saving Of couple Of dollars in tickets and
white kids TO the delicious music Of Don Giovanni.
Our friend enjoys the music just as well from what
he facctiously calls the superior balcony Some
OF the best judges and most apprcciatye friends OF
music de there nightly congregate. We know OF
many such instances Of good sense and good taste.
One gentleman who has ordered from his fashiona-
be, and Of course, dilatory, bootmaker, pair OF
dress, patent leather boots for sl2, countermands
the order before the work is cut out, and contents
himself with pair Of So seryiceable stogie..
Another, who had set his heart upon new $50
overcoat, has his garment Of the last session re-
paired and rebound, and much to his surprise it
looks as good as new"
