ut is said that the English man
dressmaker Worth, who for time ruled
fashion in Paris, finds Brussels too small
and too cheap for him. and is coming
to New York. From such an infection

delivered, not that q rude, vulgar,
conceited individual, such as be is said
to be, could do much harm any where if

the machinery all ready for seizing upon
him as q sensation, and putting him into
notoriety. He is undoubtedly responsible
for the revival Of the donkey 'panier and
the introduction into French models of
tawdry masses qf trimmings which has
dis6gared them Of late years Beyond
that think, women have nothing to
thank him for. He stimulated an era Of
show, extravaganza and high prices for
worthless ARTICLES, which ledmany women
to ruin, substituted fash and glitter for
taste and real beauty, and intensified to
deplorable degree the morbid value
which women who live in society only
place upon the ability to outshine
rivals.
Med ,rn Sensational Journalism is already
bringing class to the surface who rep
resent society just about as truly as this
Worth represents really distinguished
artists; Women who 60 to balls and

their names in print. All this passes
with many for society success and
reputation, and awakehs in the breasts
of other weak-minded objectless women
and girls an eager longing to dress
gorgeously, give grand parties. and have
them noted in the columns of the Daily

Everything which tends to promote the
development Of mind, always commands
our cordial assent and sndorsaton. We
therefore commend the formation Of the
Literary institution elsewhere advertised
in our present issue. We recommend to
the young men thus engaged in the pur-
suit of knowledge, the importance of in
voking the aid Of competent. well dispos-
ed friends, to assist them in the selection
of profitable, instructive books to read,
from which, and from which alone they can
obtain that information which will perma-
nantly benefit them and qualify them for
the cretlitable discharge Of the various
duties which circumstances 80 plainly in
dictate, will be theirs, provided they are
qualified to fill them. :e'0- ..es

anomalous condition of affairs will Danish

when men, Of all shades, will stand OF

When the necessity for the support o.
party will have passed away. by the
general recognition of the Righteousness
of the principles for which that party
contended, and when men will be content
to subordinate the lingerings Of prejudice
and stand side by side with their fellows
in the race for life, honor and emoluments
"Inthat day" it will be found that unless
we are qualified, We may come to oul
own and they viii receive rs not" ID
Therefore it is that We would do oul
utmost encourage the smoking Gar,
among our young men, and by every
means stimulate and to encourage then
to the cultivation Of their minds.

its extreme danger only by continual
practice from very early period Of life.
We find how complex it is when We at
tempt to analyze it. We learn how vio-
lent it is when we walk against post or
a door in the dark. We discover how
dangerous it is when we slip or trip and
