The New York Standitrd tells us that it has
come to be 1.-THE fashion for women 70, be
"invalids," as If a physician ought to be an
indispensable attendant in every Well-regu-
lated establishment. The editor fears it is too
soon to expect an era Of good sense to ring
in that of perfect health, OF. to convince
women that itlis criminal to enjoy bad health.
Notoriously, women place their trust in their
physicians. To enter one df their houses des-
ignated for patients is to fancy we have en-
tered o fashionable boarding g.house. We be-
hold pale, haggard women In the glory Of
elegant toilets, point lace and diamonds, with
all the makeup necessary to public recep-
tion. When they 60 to drive for their health
they leave wearied with the fatigues of an
elaborate toilet. They are under the doctors
constant care, but they still keep up I'M dress
and manner the life of fashionable lady.
Such health-seeking Is rnockery and sin.
although nnconscionsly performed. Some.
body Is to blame. Relief Ii but temporary so
long as the cause of ifl-hedlth Is not removed.

Quick Wit.

Sir Thomas Moore was noeed for his
shrewdness aud presence of mind. Sitting
one day on the roof of his high gate at Chel-
sea, hswas enjoying the beauty of the Thames
and the sunny. richness of, the landscape,
When Ills solitude was broken by the arrival
of a wandering maniac, who had, unper-
ceiyed, crept up to the summit of the eleya-
ton. The unfortunate creature, casting his
eye downward from the parapet to the foot
of the tower, suddenly conceived the idea of
hurting Sir Thomas from the roof. 'We'n
imilmortalize INN ourselves, Ton.' shrieked he,
grasping the chancellor by the wrist with a
grasp Of iron. ''Come, well leap to the
ground and be remembered through all COM
Il ing time as the grestest jumpers of the age"
Pooh! II pooh!' said Moore cooly; .'any+
body could jump from here to the gronnd.
Let us rather, if we wish to leave a brave
name to posterity, go below and jump from
the ground to the foof. ~ That will lie a feat
worth priding ourselves, upon" agreed =
screamed the maniac, and hurrying together
down the stairs, Sir Thomas was enabled to
summon the servants and have the poor
wretch secured. ,gn Ha,E.als., .,E3s5' Il

Nothing adds more to the general appearance

pets, curtainsiand furniture, where she walls
are as bare as sidewalk, and about as sug-
gestiye in all that pertains to matters, of art
and refined TASTE There is evidence of

There is no excuse for a lack of pictures
OF some sort, for the cheapness of engravings
and chromos place them within the reach Of
the poorest. 1t Is not necessary that they,

pirate as compared with the furniture than
one more expensive But in these days when
the engraver and photographer have Scattered,
the choice productions of their handicraft So
cheaply all over the country, there is hardly
any reason why even the humblest home may
not have variety of attractive pictures hung
upon the walls to break the duh m0notony Of
white plaster, or the stereotyped Figures of
paper hangings. And in the more luxurious
furnished parlors, there is no excuse for a
lack of pictures, save d want Of proper taste

SPEAKING of the aristocracy (of whom I
beg to say hayedby no nieans the same
opinion as my friend DiogenesD i heard d
story lately of the Marquis Gf Harrington.

of Devonshire, one of the richest Of all our

son, when the latter was vet under age

for pleasure and for acquaintance, of the

pations he was made a member of The gov

at statesmanship, he has really sown his wild
oats; indeed, he's, now. nearly forty years

which at lone time he was chief the en-
ployees petitioned for increase of pay. The
Marquis, who is very good-natured, received
o deputation and heard their complaints.
He inquired the amount of each man i salary.
He counted 1t over mentally, 80 many hun
dreds year, and estimated the cost of so
many pairs of shoes, sol many cigars, so
many boquets, ETC., in the season, He saw
that the thing really could not be done for
the money. The expression that began to
'oyerspreadl his face encouraged one of. the
deputation to ask whether his lordship did
not think 1t hard for a man to have, to, live
and support wife and children on such an
allowance. The Marquis stared ana looked
puzzled, and the question was repeated.
GOOD heavens" exclaimed the Marquis,

salaries? A new light ;h,id broken in upon

siTuERE IS. D popular notion that editors are
a, peculiarly, and somewhat unjustly favored
class of beings. Tickets to everything, free
passes to eyerywhere; a perfect ayalanch of
gratuitous seWing-machines, grand pianos,
and patent bootIj jacks; giant 7squashes and
mammoth eggs ('siaid by IN eminent Citizen
on our tablep), and q universal deadheadness
throughout the realms of space--this is the
meat on which these Caesars feed, that they
have grown SO great. There is per contra
to the account, however, and it is thus pre-
sented by q ''sensible writer, who is quoted
in one OF our exchanges, ,,ni,,,;,a 4
''The press endures intiiction of deadhead-
ism from the pulpit the bar and the stage;
from corporations, societies, and individuals.
IT is expected to Yield its Interests; it is re-
tquested TO give strength to the. weak, eyes 10

the hungry; 1t Is asked to cover infitmities,
hide weaknesses, and wink at 'quacks, bolster
up duh authors, and fiatter the vain; Il il, in
short, to be all things TO all men, and if it
looks, for pay or reward, it is denounced as
mean and sordid There is no interest under
the whole heavens that is expected to give 80
much to society without pay or thanks, as the

BUFFALO RAcEs.-The Couries says: II
can be confidently anticipated that the meet.
ing of 1872, commencing August 9th and
continuing four days, will surpass in bril-
iiaucy all Of its predecessors. As we meu-
tion, the amount Of premiums, $50, 900, ia
altogether unprecedented. There are no
lees than four purses Of $1,000 each. Such
glittering prizes will attract the speedest
trotters of all classes from all parts Of the
country, and every nerve will be strained
to bear away the premiums. The eyes OF
the trotting men throughout the country
are turned toward Buffalo, and we expect
to see contests next month between the
great flyers of The Atlantic coast and the
Pacific slope. Those who can possibly at
tend and who have any love for this style Of
sport. should MT miss the srotting meeting
of 1872.
