Mss KING's reading, last Monday evening, was

Ask your purse, not your pride, what you

neighbor in display run you into lavish ex,
penditure. There is no foible so attractive
for the time as extravaganza. People call it
liberality, nobleness of spirit, and enlarged
views they look on with admiration. as
they do at brilliant display of fireworks,
but the fire once spent then comes the reac-
ton. Dress is, perhaps, the creates medium
iof eytravagu noe. Shakespeare Fuller, a nd
many old and standard writers advise dis,
play, aud costly, attire, but it is very guess
tionabe policy in republiclike ours, where
lit is sure to provoke envy and dettaction.

keep up the show of what they have not,
while one half Of the SAM labor expended

we would have no reader of ours foster or

the same with our expenditures as with our
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and diet ought to be in

each other. for while immediate p essnre
