DREss.--I know of thousands of pa

into dresslnaker's doll ASST God had
not made the little creature beautiful
enough, they must overload it with up
holsterngs Of silk and laces, and then tor
ture its graceful freedoms into the tongs
and screws of arbitrary fashion. On a GER
tain Sabbath these parents brought their
children to church, and formally devoted
them to the Lord in baptism. But all the
rest of the time they are consecrat-
ing their offspring to that Other trinl-
ty-fashion, finery and folly | tell
you that this overdressing of the body
Strikes through into the heart. 1t poisons
the mind with affectations and most UNI
childlke greed of admiration and vain
glory. How can stop be ever put to the
crop Of tops and fashionists if children are
to be trained into foppery and coxcombery
from their cradles? How can our children
be taught self-denial, frugality, humility,
and spritual-mindednes while their grace
ful forms are srnothered under the artificial
trappngs Of pride and extravaganza ?

1t is nail of pain and pleasure, said
Plato, which fastens the body to the mind.
The wav of life is a line between the re-
gions of tragedy and comedy. | find few
books so entertaining as the wistful human
history writer out in the faces of any col
lection of men at church OF courthouse.
The silent assembly thus talks very loud.
The sailor carries in his face the tan of
tropic suns, and the record of rough wealth
er the old farmer testiiies of stone walls,
rough wood-lots, the meadows, and the
new barn. The Doctors head is fragrant
gallipot of virtues. The carpenter still
measures feet and inches with his eye, and
the licensed landlord mixes liquors
in motionless pantomine. What good
bargains glmmer on the merchants
aspect! And if beauty, soitness, and
faith in female forms have their influence
vices even, in slight degree, are thought
to improve the expression. Malice and
scorn add to beauty. You shall see eyes
set too near, and limited faces, faces Of
one make and invariable character. How
the busy fancy inquiries into their bio
graphy and relations! They pigue, bu
must tire. Compared with universe
faces, countenances of general human
type, which piqne less, they look less
safe. In such groups the observer doe
not think Of heroes and sages. In tn
silentest meeting the eye reads the plan
