Good Taste.

Women of cultivated taste sometimes
set themselves up for models in dress,
and every other woman who fails to
conform to their standard is condemned
rs having horrid taste. If these "mOd-
els' We're not so self-opinioned, they
would accord to other ladies their lust
due in such matters, without the sar-
castle remark to which they give vent
while taking a mental inventory OF their
neighbOr's wardrobe. Some ladies Sc
lect and proclaim black as being the
most elegant costume worn, while others
with equally rs fastidious taste, MAIN
tain that neutral tints are the most
strictly genteel, and yet another class
with aesthetic taste, will combine a va
riety of gay colors, blending and har-
monizing them so artistically that the
effect to an observer is as pleasing and
refreshing as beautiful picture. All
these ladies have good taste, though so
differing from each other in its display.
! The variable climate of California al
lows broad latitude in dress, and
makes the seeming incongruity of furs
and lace mantles, both worn in one day,
admissible, and not violation of taste,
as visitors TO our coast frequently de-
clare.
Sometimes o woman will sacrifice her
good taste to please her husband, when
he, in the Kindness of his heart, buys
his saffron-faced wife a brigat blue, Ii
lac, or green dress, forgetting all about
her liver, with his eyes of love, never
noting how it brings out defects and
blemishes that becoming color would
conceal
wonder if Adam ever told Eve that
/ green was trying to her complexion.
Her simplicity at least is commendable,
! for we have no record that she bought a
new Dolly Warden every time that she
went shopping.
Ladies should be independent enough
| to wear colors most becoming to them
! selves, regardless of comments, and if
any one chooses to wear all the hues OF
/ the rainbow at once, while she is at
/ tracting the attention of that large class
of people who have nothing else to do
but look at her, she would also remind
/ them of that chow of promise,n that
I they will have a chance to die of stagna-
! ton before the world is again deluged.

THE DEER.-A fable.-A deer once
saw himself pictured in a clear brook.
"Truly," said he, 'T surpass all ami
mails in gracefuluess and majesty, How
lOrdly do my horns tower upi But my
feet, how long and uglyp'
Hardly had he uttered the words when
he saw lion springing towards him.
With the greatest haste his despised
feet carried him to the next forest; but
suddenly his broad antlers were caught
in the overhanging thicket, and he
could not tear himself away.
The lion overlook and devoured him.
Learn from this not to value things
for their outward appearance, but for
their inner worth; otherwise you will
often have to repent bitterly your un-
just Judgment What Nert?

Economy is an easy thing to decide
upon, but an uncomfortable thing to
carry out, especially in household mat
ters. The planning is pleasant enough,
but the execution is what troubles us.
We dislike TO forego the accustomed
things which economy denies US, and
there is where the shoe pinehes.

NASHVILLE, April 20, 1s72.-In the
card declaring myself q candidate for Gov
ernor, it was stated that l hid applied to
the Democratic State Executive Committee
TO postpone the Convention called TO meet
on the 9th of May next, TO such time as
would enable me TO canvass the Stste--R
time which would enable that body TO fairly
and fully reflect the party's win and wishes
in the selection of Us candidate. This. re-
quest, in the judgment Of my friends and
myself, go right in principle, and, at this
iuncture, so proper in party expediency, 1
confidently trusted would for these reasons
have been conceded.
The reply of Mr.. Thomas, Chairman Of
the Committee, and bis announcement
through the UNION AND AMERICAN Of the
27th inst, not only express total unwil-
lingness to allow this request, (Which to
impartial judgment may seem as important
to the party as to my own individual in
terest) but renders it also conclusive to my
mind that no efforts on the part of my
friends win avail 70 procure a postpone
ment Of the nomination.
Under these conditions l feel constrained
go decline further contest for the Office of
Governor.
The many friends who have rendered
me support will know that am sincere in
returning my heartfelt thanks for their
kindness. B.F. CHEATHAM.

from the violence of the oppo-

arrive in London before Tuesday. This will
probably delay the action of Parliament till

LONDON, April 29.-The particulars Of

if not greater than here. This number
NAV be increased. The distress of the

ions on hand is moderate. The correspon-
dents Of the London papers praise Rev.
Mr.. Powers, American missionary, for ASST
duty in ministering to the relief of the
afflicted DeOple.

all the people Of the world to show any
sign against bis moral character. He was
glad neither lie nor his brethren had the
power of God till the wisdom to use
it, or they might be led to destroy all their
enemies. They should demand from those
who had been prosecuting them all papers
connected with the cases, that pOsterity

scolded the saints who had not paid tithiDg
