SIMPLICITY IN ENGLsn DREss. In
families Of many oF the nobility and gem
try of England, possessing an annual in
come 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 soiourned, not long
since, several months in the vicinity of
some of the wealthy landed aristocracy of
England, whose ample rent-rols would
have warranted high style of fashion,
was surprised at the simplicity of manners
practiced, Servants are much more nu-
merous than with US, but the ladies made
more Of one silk dress than would be
thought here 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 more
fashionable styles, wa- the same which the
ancestors of the llmlies for several gen.
erations had possessed substantial and
in excellent preservation, but plain and
without pretensions to elegance. Even
the carpets on many suits of parlors had
been on the floors loi dfly years, and were
expected to do service for another half
century. With us how different is the
state of things. We are wasting an
amount Of wealth in this country on show
and fashion, which, rightly applied, would
renovate the condition of the whole popu-
lation of the world, and Christianize and
educate all mankind --E1chohgc

The remarks which impress men most
are those which fall in with their own ex-
perence. \ lawyer sometimes finds that
the arguments which appear to him of least
weight have most weight with jury.
And perhaps the sermons which have cost
a clergyman the least effort may sometimes
have the most effect on his hearers. I'M
educated men dislike complicated reason
