How Long Branch was Settled.

Fashion in Church.

There is dress question in which all
Christian congregations have a common
interest, and with regard 10 which We
wish they might all unite to effect re-
form. 1t has reference to the ordinary

when good taste demanded the use Of the

the wealthy were noted for the conspicu-
Gus absence of personal adorgmcnt, and
sariorial display was mark Of vulgariiy
at such times aud places. But nowadays
in the congregation, on the Sabbath, rich
and poor alike seem on desperate strain,
the one to make some faint approximation
to the other in point Of cxtravagant dis
play, and the other to demonstrate the ut
ties hopclcssness Of the attempt. II would

The City Of Venice.

Venice is n compact city. about seven
miles in circuit, aud perfectly accessible
in all its parts. Its principal buildings
are Of marble or Of light colored stone,
and the remainder are Of brick covered
with mnstic. Great care is taken Of the
streets They are swept clean drily, and
so well cared for that there are but a few
places in Venice where the air is not sweet
and pnre-which is more than can be said
Of most large cities. 1t is doubtful wheth- :
cr the Vcnetians would have made broad
streets. for climate reasons, if they could
have afforded the room. During largr
part Of the year the rays Of the sun are top
powerful to walk with safety in their glare
The people gather in the squares anl
market places, or lounge upon the quays
In this land Of sunshine and cheap polcnth
the smallest amount Of industry affords b
subsistence. What should be a BLESSING
to the people is an actual detrimcut under
land system now prevalent in Italy, as
iniquious in principle as it is destructive
Of national prosperity, because it removes
all stimulus to industry. The walls Of the
canals are usually Of blocks of granite.
