Seven Reasons for Having a Small House.

and small women. Touching the former,
we will here give seven good, and as VIC
think sufficient reasons for our preference.
In the first place, they imply small cozy
rooms. Not crampcd but measurable. So
small that the light and heat are reflected
and radiatei uom all parts. Family com
fort cannot thrive in hall or field.
! imagine that tn boy who did not feel Suf-
tieiently acquainted with his father to ask
him for new cap, lived in palatial res
idcncc." | doubt not, for the same reason,
| people living among mountains arc more
Sociablc than those who live on plains
! Affection, like smile, dies unless it is re-
/ fcctcd.
Secondly, we like small houses because
they look like they are paid for, and small
house paid for holds more happiness and
real friends than a large one uruuid Any
thing unpaid is uncomfortable. 10 an hon
est man debts are demons and ali indebted
house haunted house full of creeping hor,
rors and disquictudc as that described by
| Hood
Thirdly, VIC like small houses because
they look Sympothizing, They are like
people not ovcrdrcSscd, more ready to make
acquaintance. a big house is like big
man-unaccostablc Stately norticos and
lordly halls arc like the titles ID. d. III,
d., &c.-mposinc, distant. and inclined 70
be rcpcllant.
In the fourth place, wclilic small house
because it excitcs no envy. It ,notttors mot
how elegantly it is furnished. how tasteful.
| ly surrounded and adorned by shrubbcry
and flowers, It's observers arc its admirers
friends. 1t does not fall under the "cyil
| eye" and no man who las q soul would

of his wife and children, to be am object of

THE NIAGARA SUSPENSION BRIDGE-Is TT A ST.
CURE STRUCTURE ?-Some few weeks ago we pub
lished letter from a correspondent at Niagara
in which some speculation was INDUCED in as to
the security orinsecurity of the Suspension bridge
at that point. Our correspondent stated that he
was informed that, whereas the bridge only sag.
ged few inches when railroad trains first pass
ed over it, the yielding is now to the extent OF
some eighteen or twenty inches. He also re-
marked that railroad passengers, afraid to trust
themselves in the cars walk over paying twenty
five cents head for the privilege, and that engi.
neers frequently refuse to accompany their en-
gines over it when the trains are unusually
heavy.
This plain and simple statement has stirred up
vast amount Of bile in the editor of the little
local sheet that does the putting for the hotels,
the bridge, the dry goods Dealers curiosity vend-
ere and hackmen of Niagara, and that has its few
hundred subscriptions paid in farm produce, cali
co wares, free grub and crockery. He raves
about the Suspension bridge, says he lives near
it-does not say that he has dead-head privileges
onit-aDd calls it "noble' and "great" and "most
enduring"
Our correspondent, who certainly had no mo-
tive to induce him to state talsehood, is de.
nounced as an individual of the weakest imbe.
cility," as one who is morally corrupt" or
whom "strong drink has rendered mad" And ye.
the builder and engineer Of the work virtually ad
mits the truth Of our correspondents statement
about the aaggiDg, but explains it as being due
to the changes in the temperature-the cable
expanding or contracting at the rate of two feet
to the hundred degrees of Fahrenheit
For aught we know to the contrary, the
Niagara Suspension bridge may be, as its resi-
dent inspector asserts, " sitter and safer now
than during any period since its complexion
though why that should be the case we cannot
imagine. We know, however, that railroad
companies are proverbially reckless about
human life, and would just as soon send trains
over rotten bridge across Niagara as they
would over an i'll constructed culvert. 1t is just
as well, therefore, to examine this matter, and
80 we have sent two commissioners to inspect
this Suspension bridge, ard to report upon it,

nails ask, the public may suspend its judgment in
the matte We accord that grace to the "noble

MAzzlNI ON THE EUROPEAN CoUP D'HAp. bis
PROGRAMME OF A New Holy ALLIANCE. Mr.
Joseph MazziDi is haunted with the spectre O
imperialism. He has copjured up monster worse
than any spoken Of in the Apocalypse In this
case 1t is a triple-beaded, not a triple.crowned
abomination; and its mission Is to, imperialize
Europe and wipe out every vestige of political
liberty. The Pope has ceased to scare the Ro.
man triumvir. The new danger is in the imperial
uiumvirate Of France, Russia and Austria
he asserts, in the most positive and cir
cumstantial manner, not, a. he says, from
mere conjecture, but by knowledge Of the
TACT, that new Holy Alliance has
been inaugurated between the three EN-
perors, having for object the dismember-
ment and division among themselves Of
the Mohammedan possessions in Europe and
Africa, and the making war against England
and Prussia. To resist this imaginary evil. he
recommends league, headed by England, and
comprising England, Prussia, Germany, Bel.
GUM, Holland, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain,
and the other minor States of Europe.
This Is grand war project, and the very
statement OF it may well startle timid people.
But Notwithstanding Signor Mazzini's declara.
ration Of the positive knowledge of these de-
signs on the part of the three Emperors, he
must excuse US II we treat the whole thing,
snd advise the world to treat it, as nothing
but the result of disordered imagination.
The rulers Of France and Russia and Austria
bave other more important matters to attend 10
than such Quixotic enterprise, even il they could
agree among themselves, as imperialzing the rest
Of Europe. Their attention is more properly
directed to the developement of the internal re.
sources Of their respective empires. And instead
Of England and the other Powers whom Mr.. MAJ
ziDi would combine in a defensive league being
frightened by such a ridiculous bugbear, they,
too, have higher duties to perform in liberalizng
heir political institutions and ameliorating
the condition of their subjects. This is the bes,
way to resist aggression Free men will always
be able to defend their country against foreign
Invaders.
The fact is that the Imperialism of the present
day is altogether different thing from the i'm
perialism which frightened George the Third and
Pitt into making the Holy Alliance against the
first Napoleon Itmeant military despotism and
conquest then. To day it means progress and
civilization. Nevertheless, it would not be sur
prising if this manifesto Of Mazzni's, taken in
connection with the LATE course of the London
press, should awaken much alarm in England,
and lead to rupture of the friendly relations
between France and England. European affairs
are in condition in which spark might pro-
duce general coDfagration. But so far from
Europe being menaced with Imperialism, she
never perhaps had better chance than she has
now of having her institutions hberalized and
her people made prosperous and happy.
