Let Us Take Comfort.

Comfort is an expressive word, and one
the real meaning Of which, applied 10 each
one of us personally is not fully realized.
As people we seem TO try how we may
make ourselves uncomfortable and all be-
cause we do not appreciate what consti-
tutes that real enjoyment, which is in fact
more than enjoyment-persona comfort.
We are too much afraid If we make our
selves comfortable that we shall overstep
the bounds Of politeness or create the unfa-
vorable criticism Of those higher, 1t may
be, in the social scale than we are, of whose
opinions we stand in mortal fear. Away
with such false notions of personal inde-
pendence, such mock adherence 10 The tyr
amy OF fashion. When we learn that we
have right TO wear tight shoes or 60 bare
footed, to stand on our heads, (the men, of
course,) TO smoke, TO strain ourselves up In
oorsets, or wear none at all, Just as we
please, If we are comfortable in so doing,
ana do not interfere with the happiness
or enjoyment of our neighbors so much
the better will 1t be for us and so much
will we have advanced towards truer and
more sensible manner of life. Especially
at this season should we all be firm advo-
Gates OF personal comfort; we are glad 10
notice increasing evidences of some break
ing Of the chains of fashionable folly, and
the development of some personal COM
fort, and some independence of character,
among the residents of our cities and large
towns. If we want 10 lounge on the sofa of
an after dinner hour; if we want to tumble
the mattress in our sleeping room in the
afternoon; IL we want to wear loose easy
dresses innocent of overskirts and frills
and unnecessary appendages; if we want
10 sit under the trees on our lawns and
smoke, or read, or sew, or play croquet
or If we want TO do anything or place our
selves in any position where we shall en-
Joy personal comfort-in the name of all
that is sensible and lawful let us do it.
What If the bed is tumbled, and the rooms
cluttered up, and Mrs. Smallrite does see
us in calico dress, so long as we are COM
fortablef Is it anybody's business but our
own that we play croquet, or lounge on the
veranda, in sight of passers-by, or smoke,
or read wholesome novels, so long as we
pay our bills, observe the moral law and
the golden rule, and don't talk about our
nelghbors7 Then let us, this sultry OPP
pressive weather, take comfort in any way
or at any place we please, where we do not
make breach of good manners, or tres
pass upon the rights of others. As much
as possible, let us live out of doors-the
veranda, the garden, the summer house
are preferable many times in the day, to
the parlor or library-and let US make our
selves comfortable by taking advantage OF
the pleasures they offer TO us. This grand
summer weather, always loo brief in this
northern cline, let us make the most OF
our means for personal enjoyment, and re-
joice in breaking away from a slavish ad-
herence TO fashion and ways which do
nothing but render us personally uncom-
