SMALL CLoTHEs.-If the tailors and
fashion followers keep on, gentlemen will
some of them have to decline sitting
down, going up stairs, climbing into an
omnibus, and taking of their pantaloons
on going.to bed. Tights are into fashion
at a ridiculous rate. Smalljclothes used
to be the genuine style for gentlemen in
the days Of our honored ancestors, but
not such queer sheathing-cases as our
young fellows stick their legs into now.
One good thing the fashion does-it
advertises the number of spindle-shins.
What sort Of posterity arewe likely to
have, with an ancestry Of such pipe stem
proportions in the legs? The tailors have
many a good laugh to answer for.

OUR FIRST PLAY.-There is little in
boyish experiences SO indelibly put in
our memory as the impression from
seeing our first play. We know how
genially the essayist Ella has depicted
all those fresh sensations. Many an
photographer has dwelt lovingly on
the recital. Had we diary of Shake.
speare, we might read of his flushed
exultation in his first play at < enilworth.
Scott recounts with delight the story Of
his earliest acquaintance with the scene.
Southey tells us how rapturously he
doubted the Righteousness of the action.
Leigh Hunt looks back upon it, and
exclaims, "Then was not critical, and
could enjoy The elder Matthews tells
Of the glorious two shillings' worth of
stealthy disobedience of that first night
Hans Anderson, just from the delineation
Of Leah, fashions in his JOY some little
puppets, and, dressing them in costume
reproduces the mimic scene; while, as
he cuts and sews their dresses, his
mother, good soul! having destined him
to tailors stool, rejoiCes at his preco
cious shipping. The theatre Of Ludwigs
burg opened to the rapturous Schiller,
boy Of nine, vision Of his future
glory. In the memoirs of lfiland and
Kotzebue, of Henderson, of Frederic
Reynolds and George Frederic Cooke, We
have the same tale of heated joy and

How 90 Communicate Evil Tidings.
When you are the messenger OF very
painful tidings, what is the best method
After reflection, must conclude
that the shortest and simplest way Of
communicating the facts is the best Here
nature and philosophy meet here our
last experience confirms our first
practice. You have to impart to
an afectionate mother the death of
her son, who was drowned at sea. How
is it be done? Nature teaches; art can add
nothing more: 10 lady, have sad news
to impart; your son ION such day. fell
rom the yard, and was drowned. lie
has 1T u.s." This is the way in which
thew com. uunicated things Of old. So
Homer (Iliaa, xviii. 20, 2l,) when the
tidings is brought to Archilles of
Patroclus's death: "Patroclus is down;
they are fighting around us naked corpse,
and his armor isheld by the p!nme-waving
Hector" A striking instance IS found
in British history. When General Bur
goyne surrendered at Saratoga the ruLaor
VERY indefinitely one morning had
reached the House ofCommons. Every
one was alert to hear, when Lord North
arose slowly in his place, and with
solemn voice said: General Burgoyne
and his whole army are prisoners to the
Americans" and dead silence ofsevcral
minutes followed How different is this
from the shutting and equivocation in
which, in modern times, we disguise our
defeats! The same method is sanctioned
in the Bible. When Eli sattrembling for
the Ark OF god, he heard the dreadful
news: "And the messenger answered and
and said, Israel is fed before the Philis-
tine; and there hath been great slaugh.
ter among the people; and thy two sons
Hophric and Phineas, are dead and the
ark of God is taken" Il Samuel iv. ~.
What condensed language, and every
word laden with sorrow. No wonder
that the effect followed. "And it came to
pass when he made mention Of the ark
Of God, that he fell from off the seat
backward, by the side of the gate, and
his neck broke, and he died; for he was
an old man and heavy; and he had
Judged Israel forty years. DR. Wtthing-
