ExpENsEs.-A young Englishman can live
comfortably and happily upon the same pro-
portionate salary as will serve only to make a
young American miserable. The very simple
reason is, that in the democratic absence Of
social distinctions in America, every young man
is ambitious to dress and live in a manner
suitable only to the wealthy. La England the
social circle in which man moves is decided
entirely by his calling and his income There
are exceptions, of course, but this is the rule.
The result is, that young men, living upon
small incomes, are in general contented- not
too ambitious, satisfied with the moderate
amusements which they can afford, and the
clothes. which come within the the reach of a
modest revenue This is tar from being the
case in America. We cannotdisapprove of the
democratic state Of society, nor of the ambition
of our young business men to live as well as
their companions, But we must acknowledge
the evils of our own system il We hope to cor
rect them. No society can be healthful in
which many OF its members live beyond their
incomes We can hardly. believe that the evil
is necessity of democracy. T. MAIL
