such base and grovelling party journalism al
that of its foolish rival, the Aryas-Aals.
There is another Albany newspaper of the
same dirty pattern as this Aaas-Aryus-a half
starved Know Nothing organ, over which poll
teal adventurer, named Swain, presides. He
seems to be itching for an advertisement in the
NEW YORK HERALD and he shall have it. His
paper-the Albany Statesman without any def
mite vocation or visible support, betrays all
the base instincts of the desperate loaer and the
common liar. Indeed, contrasted with such de-
based and shameless party organs as the atlas
argus and this Statesman, the Albany Journal
becomes a respectable concern and Thurlow
Weed, we all know, will never be canonzed as
model Of newspaper decency and decorum. The
only wonder is that his heightened associations
among the miserable sinners of the Albany
lobby have not reduced him to the common
level Of his lobby brethren of the dark lantern

the week, and, failing the Opera, will be very
fashionable resort.
The truth is that the people who make up
what is called society have had rather gay
time Of it during the winter. They have been
driving at killing pace, and 1t will do them
no harm to pull up and go little slow. Let
them try little modification Of the flesh, and q
modicum Of fasting, humiliation and prayer.
Some Of them have been good deal lax in their
Christian duties, and those who are Catholics
must have something Of budget for the confes
sional. Let them, during the season of Lent
leave the study of the fashion plate for the peru
sal Of books of devotion be regular in attend
ance at church be sauctided with the excellent
music, and morally cleansed by the smoke of the
incense With this preparation and regular
habits, no late suppers, nor seeing the sun rise
from the carriage windows after ball, they will
all be in good trim for the Easter gaieties, fresh
for the return Of the Opera singers from the
South, and the subsequent summer delights in
rural wales or mountain side, by pleasant spa or
ocean wave. The cup of social pleasure should
be tasted with the delicacy of an epicurean-not
swallowed with the brutal eargerness of o
Silenus.

and the spring hats, and the water crosses, have

Hatteras, little earlier in the season than
usual. In the country some adventurous birds
have piped few wood notes wild, while here
and there the trees show signs of budding. The
