They reneraliy dress in plain, substantial
garments, neatly s-immed, reserving their
costlier articles and ewelry for great oc-
casions; and would look with suspicion
upon the woman who dsc.Sed herself in

sion, sweeping the streets with her trail.
Instead OF turning their furniture out OF
door every two or three years and ysplac-
ing it with new and fashionable sfvles,
they take pride in preserving the articles
that were used by their ancestors, and
value them quite as much for their SIM
plicity, solidity aud age, as for the associ.
atoms connected with them. Even their
carpets are used years longer than ours be-
fore they think of replacing them, and
their china ware has, in many instances,
been in and out Of fashion twenty times
since it was made. How much better it
would be for our people to catch the spirit
of such conservatism as this, and exchange
extravaganza for elegance, vulgar ostenta
ton for simplicity and refinement! The

Simplicity and Elegance.

ONE of the lessons our people greatly

gance and display which are fashionable
everywhere among US at the present time.
The style of living, the furnishing OF our

our life are quite as offensive TO refined
taste as they are seriously Objectionable on
economic grounds. Ostentation takes the
place OF elegance, and the ambition 70

A Sunbeam.

THE greatest of physical paradOxes -
the sunbeam. 1t Is the most potent and
versatile force we have, and yet 1t behaves
itself like the gentlest and most accom-
modating. Nothing can fall more softly
or more silently upon the earth than the
rays of our great luminary-not even the
feathery flakes Of snow, which thread
their way through the atmosphere a. If they
were too flmy to yield to the demands Of
gravity, like grosser things. The most

the apple of the eye-though pierced
and buffeted each day by thousands Of
sunbesms, suffers no pain during the pro-
cess, but rejoices in their sweetness, and
blesscs the useful light. Yet few OF
those rays, insinuating themselves into .
mass of iron, like the Britannia Tubular
Bridge, will compel the closely-kn partt-
cles 70 separate, and will move the whole
enormous fabric with ~ much ease a. .

those beams upon our sheets Of water lifts
up layer after layer into the atmosphere,
and hoists whole rivers from their beds,
only to drop them again in SHOWS upon
the hills, or in fattening showers upon the
plains. Let but the air drink In little

that the difficulty we have supposed as to
the solidity of walls exposed to the atmOs-

the winter and summer are aggravated by
the enormously increased distance Of the

when his rays are most direct-contribute
to confirm the impression We have drawn
from other considerations that physically,
at least, the life there has far more of
