WORTH INITIATING.

English character and habits have an inber ent dignity and solidity, which might be copied to advantage in this country. They seem to have rooted aversion to anything like display on ordinary occasions, and find in simplicity a peculiar charm. American ladies are sadly deficient in good taste in dress. Many of them are never satisfied uulesS burlened with costly silks and jewelry. an outdoor costume and foreigners are uniformly amazed at the prome' made dress of our great cities. A recent visitor in England alludes to the habit in respect to dress and furniture which obtain in the first families there, and we know many husbands ana parents who would rejoice if such habits pro voked imitation
 [" In the families of many of the nobility and gentry of England, possessing an annual income which ofitself would be an ample fortune there is greater economy of dress and more simplicity in the furnishing of the dwelling, thau there k in the houses of most of our citizens, who are barely able to supply the daily wants of thei families by the closest attention to business A friend of ours, who sojourned not long since several months in the vicinity of some of tht land ari,tocracy of England, whose ample rem rolls would have warranted high style of lash ion. was surprised at the simplicity of manne practised. Servants Were much more numerous than with us, but the ladies made more accoun of one silk dress than would be thought of g dozen here. They We're generally clothed il good, substantial stuffs, and display of ant jewelry was reserved for great occasions. "The furniture of the mansions, instead o being turned out of doors every few years fo new and more fashionable styles, was the sam which the ancestors of the family for severa generations had possessed-subtantlal and il excellent preservation, but plain, and withou any pretension to elegance. Even the carpet in many suits of parlors, had been on the floor for fifty years, and were expected to do servic for another half century. With US how differ ent is the state of things We are wasting a amount of wealth in this country on, show an
 fashion, which, rigidIy applied, would renoyat
 the condition of the whole population of th
 world, and hum. nizs, civilize and educate a ! mankind,'

ever met, how to entertain his trends. Moth ing ponderous or slow, or stately was admitted in his parties. Everything must be sprightly clever and spontaneous, and he himself was the pivot around which all the brilliancy gravita ted.
 "Splendid fellow, that Peyten!" said Allen to me, in corner. where we were looking at some old prints. He is rich as king, and knows how to enjoy 1.-two circumstances that very rarely come together. l never saw more modest, amiable, cultivated man, nor one who knew better how to get the kernel out of life.- He seems to be entirely ignorant of sorrow or care An Antinous,' said, who reigus over his little kingdom of friends with the same easy sway of the olden monarch. He is too fine. and his life too perfect for reality. He is like the hero of Paris novel, and not like 8 New York gentleman at all.' Excuse me moment, friends said Peyton approaching us z must let you entertain your selves for few seconds He passed on excusng himself to each group and went out of side door of stained glass that led to his study.
 He is as handsome as amable,' continued Allen, glancing after the rstreating form of Pey- ton. I wonder how much circumstances have to do with the making of such man. Sup pose, now, that he had suffered from poverty. like our friend Forsyth. wonder or that he had the hole in his heart tha, poor Hackett, or Ry- der find life incapable of flling-would he be just as he is ?
 A sharp explosion arrested the attention of all.
 What was that?' asked one.
 Sounded like pistol
 Where?
 In that direction' said another, indicating the door through which our host had just de- parted.
 A servant rushed in, breathless with terror and turned our gayety into lamentation with word.
 Peyton-the Antnous, the amiable, thu light hearted the clever. the kind, the man who had never known sorrow-had blown his brains out.
Litchfield enquirer., 1862-11-20

BEAR AND FoRBEAR.-If we would have life move on smoothly, we must bear and forbsar.- ~ must indulge the friend We love in the It. tie pecullaritics of saying and doing things winch may be important to him, but ot little moment to us Like chlitiren We must suffer each one to build his play house in his own way and not quarrel vita him bee use hs does not think our Way the best. All usefulness, and ali comfort, may be prevented by an unknd, a sour, a grabbed temper of mind-a mind tha' can bear with no difference of opinion or tenn perament. A spritof faulttinding unsa!islis'i, temper d constant irritabiiity little nelual ties iii the look, the temper, or the manner q brow cloudy and dissatis6 .d-your husband or your wife cannot tell why-wlll more than neu- tralize all the gool you call do, and render life anything but blessing. It IS in such gentle anI quiet virtues as meenness and forbearance, that the happiness and usefulness Of lite consist far more than brilliant elqouence, in splendid talent, or iilustrous deeds tiat shall send the naue to future times. It is the budding spring which flows gently the little rivulet which giides through the meadow and which runs along by the farm house, that is useful, rather than the swoolen food or the roaring cataract. Niagara eXcites our wonder and we stand amazed at the power and greatness of God there, as He i pours it from his hollow hand" But one agara is enough for a continent or a world while that same world needs tn ousands and ten: of thousands of silver fount ins, and gently flowing rivulets, that shall water every farm anu every meadow, and every garden. and that sha
 flow on, every day and every night, with thei gentle and quiet beauty. So With the acts o our lives. 1t is not by great deeds only like those of Howard-not by great sun.rings only like those of the martyrs-that good is to b, done it is by the daily and qulet virtues o life-the Christian temper the meek forbear ance, the spirit of f,rg vness in the hus band, the wife, the father, the mother tn b other. the sisters, the frieud, the neigh : lor-that good is to be done and in tbi all may be useful.-Barnes' Notes on Ephesian' iv, 2.
