The Health Convention" at New York
was enlivened by the recital of the miser-
les of a pretty woman, who for two years
lad indicated woman's rights by wearing
a BloOmer dress. During that time her
sensitive nature was shocked by numerous
annoyances and insults, which had such an
effect upon her that despite hor own con-
victions she was compelled to abandon
what the unmerciful world has denomina
ted an absurd custom. She had been stared
at on Broadway and Fifth avenue, but on
the less aristocratc streets she had met
with worse treatment Rudo boys would

detestation. She stood this conduct man.
fully for two years, but found that instead
of instructing the public mind as to what
was the proper healthful, sensible stvle OF
womans dress, she was looked upon as q
monomaniac and treated with derision. Ply
sically she obtained comfort by the dress
but mentally she endured torturing. Be
tween the body and the mind there was
strong contest, but at length the minc
conquered. She returned again t

that IF they were earnest upon the grea
subject of dress reform, they must endur,

A Rich Scene.

In tho Casadian House of Assembly,
some time since, they had quite spirited
debate on the bill to prohibit the use of
hoops and crinoline, introduced by Mr.,
Aikens. We publish fow Of tho most
brilliant passages
Mr.. Drummond was an ardent admirer Of
hoops from childhood. When he was u
child Of tender growth he used to trundlc
his hoop all unconscious of the fate that
was in store for him Later in life, lie swal-
lowed ring, which resulted in hopping
cough and even now tho sight OF an empty
hogshead brought tears into his eyes.
Mr.. Brown complained that il was i'm

Mr.. Brown-Permit me to explain, Mr.

Mr.. Brown-In the name Of the seventeen

With entire truthfulness it is affirmed
that in some mems madness there is meth
cd. The same may be said Of their salles
of wit and humor- il in their very foolish.
ness discriminating minds discern o wisdom
not discovered in the observations OF the
professedly wise. One of this class of men
is Abraham Lincoln. He is splendid
specimen of our own unique yet noble
Western character. IA him there is no
cohcealment, no affectatton, nothing coven.
tional or assumed. He is child Of nature,
not of art. Others may dissimulate, he
never does. His methods of expression, it
ia true, are peculiar-often altogether out
of the beaten track. To superficial minds
they may at times seem Objectionable, but
never to the discriminating and reflect
ing.
His "jokes" as they are termed, all serve
to ''point moral or adorn a tale" Some
of them, we need not say, possess exceed.
ing force and appositeness. They resemble
the fable stories of Esop, the sarcasms OF
Horace, the sterner invectives of Juvenal.
The same methods of expression are found
in not a few Of the writings of the sacred
penmen. They did not study elegance oi
utterance SO much as force. Many of their
wisest sayings, TO fastiduous minds, might
seem inelegant and abrupt, but they are al
the most striking and impressive:
With all bis Joking" therefore, there
lives not in these United States more Sc
rious man than Abraham Lincoln. He il
always terribly in earnest; never more sc
than whom lie LAS to deal with the enemies
of his country---the traitor bands tina
would fain drag her glory in the dust. O
this the world has had the amplest proof
and shall, doubtless, have still more in the
future. NI.

A Portralt OF IOhm BuIi.

John Ruskin, in the London M0raia9
Post. makes the following not very hatter-
ing analysis of the English character:
"The cessation of Savoy was the peace
full present of few crags, goats, and goth
ards, by one king to another; it was alss
fair to pay for fair work, and in the pro-
foundest sense, no business of ours
Whereupon Mr.. Kinglake mewed like n
moon struck cat going to be made mum
my of for Bumbostis. But We saw the no.
bic Circassian nation murdered, and never
uttered q word for them. We saw the
noble Polish nation sent to pine in ice, and
never struck blow for them. Now the
nation Of our future queen calls to us for
help in it's last agony, and we round SEN
tences and turn our backs. Sir, ! have
no words for these things, because have
no hope. II is not these squeaking pup.
pets who play before us whom we have TO
accuse; it is not by cutting the strings Of
them that We can redeem our deadly error.
We English. as a nation, know not and
care not to know, single broad or basic
principle Of human Justice. We have only
our instincts to guide Ills. We will take
care OF our own families and our own pOck-
cts, and we are characterized in our pres
ent phase of enlightenment mainly by
rage in speculation. lavish expenditure on
suspicion or panic generosity whereon
generosity is useless; anxiety for the souls
OF savages. regardless Of those OF civalized
nations; enthusiasm for liberation OF blacks,
apathy to enslavcment of whites; proper
horror OF regicidc. polite respect for pop
uiicide; sympathy with those whom we
can no longer serve and reverence for the
dead whom we have ourselves delivered
to death"
