my man came courtin' me- said Mrs. Dobsou.
Il had not the least thought of whats he was
after-not /. Jobie came to our house, and
raped at the door. / opened it, and sure
enough, there stood Jobie right before my

Come in,' sez /, 'and take cheer
No, Lizzie,' sez he I've come on an arrant,

But you had better come in and take a

No / cant. The fact is Lizzie, I've come

MISCELLANY.
Gossip ON Dress

In an English pamphlet, called GOSSIP on
Dress" we find some amusing chat
"We are all more or less desirous, on some
Ground or other to win the respect of our
fellow creatures and the ways OF winning 1t
are Infinitely diversified. To obtain influence
and position the majority of mankind "lil
labor an entire life, and continue TO toll, In
some particular trade or profession, long after
their actual necessities are supplied. The
merchant still speculates in the mart, the
seaman still plows the deep, the gold hunter
still digs the mine, and the scholar still col
lects additional lore by the midnight lamp.
With this object in view, men exert their best
energies in their several modes; but there is
one mode which in addition to all others, Is
adopted, with rare exceptions by the whole
human race, namely, an attention to personal
appearance, or an endeavor to produce favor
able impression by the fashion, or .propriety,
or becomingness, or neatness, or spiendor' o'
their habiliments. The effect of dress is IN
deed of unquestlonable Importance ~
typifes a mans position In society; IL ihaicales
his taste A perfectly suitable dress is pass
port almost everywhere. Wealth or worm
ill-attired is usually ill-received. The man
who dresses in a style below his place and
circumstances must expect to meet many

OF genius have been great sloverns, andshaye

pearance as efieminate or foolish. This mis-
take is less common than it used TO be, and
most of our literdti now dress like gentlemen.
A person dressed with propriety may save
himself from the ridicule, and sights, and
humilations TO which addressed merit IS
hourly exposed. Amongst strangers, dress is
10 the only criterion of a mans title to con-
sideration. "a mans appearance says Add
son, falls within the censure OF any one That
sees him; his parts and learning few are
judges of In strange companies, certainly;
fine feathers make fine birds; and at all times,
and in all places, good dress adds some
times to a mans agreeableness and accepti-
bilify. When Gerard, the famous French
painter, called on Lanjuinais Ia leader of the
Gircndists,) with letter of introduction, his
first reception was cold and discouraging but,
In the course OF conversation, the artists good
sense and amiability dissipated the unfavora-
Bile impression produced by an ill-arranged
and shabby attire. When he arose to take
leave, Lanjuinais accompanied him to the
lobby with marks Of respect and goodwill.
Gerard could not help expressing his sur
prise. MY young friend said Lanjuinais,
I'VE receive an unknown person according to
his dress; we take leave OF him according to
his merit.
