A CLEANLINESS THAT MAY BE SINFULNEss. With all due respect fer St. Paul in pro- nouncing cleanliness next to godliness, believe extreme cleanliness, which requires the lfe- service of any human being, to be not merely next to sinfulness, but actully it. WhatI do en- dorse, is a sense of general wholsomeness in and about house, clean cookery, clean dish cloths. clean table-cloth and bright china and silver as essentials. That there are mud tracks on the floor, fly spccks on the window panes, dust on the top of the picture frames, finger marks on the doors, or carpet that has not had & thorough sweeping for a month-such things are of minor importance and ought to disturb ne woman who desire to use her time for better work. It is plain that heusekeeper must put limit somewhere to her labors, or else give herself up to hopeless drudgery
 What health and absolute comfort demand should be carefully attended; but beyond that, the work becomes, in large part improbable drudgery It makes nobody better or happier often the reverse-while the best that can be said of it is, that it gratifies in a way the small vanity of the woman who does it. She likes to see things look clean. So do all of usl And she is spurred on by some secret i'm pulse te clean and polish, and sweep and brush. and scrub and SCOUT, as if by such work eternal life were to be won. The force of hab- Ii finally becomes such that she can't lie down for nap, and get wink of sleep, if she knows that the mantel-piece has not been dus- ted. or that there is bit of thread or scrap of paper lying on the carpet. Idoubt if any wo- man So hanpered with a care for small things can rise to large and just conception of life, and understand in its true sense that life is more than meat, and body more than raiment. believe in giving some fsod to the mind ev- cry day of ones life, though the kitchen floor has not been scrubbed for fortnight, or the pzrlor windows rubbed fer month. .-Cont1i- bEE6On fH Rural Neto Yorker.

The great Hungarian violinist made his first appearance in London this season last Mon- day evening, and received a cordial welcome JOechims playing, judging from all that 1 have heard and read, is very much like that of WilheImj. The latter l have never heard, but I think I understand his style. Joachim is ultra-classic in his tastes and sympathies He devOtcs himself almost exclusively to the standard composers and never drops into the sensational or CarnivaLef-V Venice order of exe- cution- Al the same time it is evident that he E a gsrtHOsO Of the highest rank, and perfectly competent to execute the nimblest and most delicate and dexterous freaks, as we'll as to give noble and scholarly interpretation to the bEO4dest and most elaborate themes. His tone Is be4tifully pure, his lowing free, bold, strong and graceful, and in all respects he is absolute master Of his instrument. His appearance is that of student, composer, or a conscien- uutieas orchestral player, rather than that of fashionable sOloist or a star. A man appar- eutly about fifty years old, of dignified pres e1ce and serious mien he disdains all the usual personal adOrnments of the stage performer, dispensing with diamonds and full-dress suits, and entering upon his task with an air which uRmissskzbly pIOclaims that he regards violin playing as an important and weighty matter, and not zs a means of displaying musical gym u1ssics and tickling the ears of the multitude. On the occasion of his first appearance he took pzrt in two instrumental quartets by Haydn and AeDdeIssOhn, and performed alone a capi- tAI Ad@gio by ViOtti, an ancient Italian violin isG- Being recalled he played with exquisite deIicacy and accuracy rapid movement from 0oe of Bzchs violin compositions.
