WE TRUST that Mr.. Springer's bill for
changing our system of street nomenclature
will meet with vigorous and successful op-
position. Tho present system is plain, in
telligible and adapted to the understanding
of the simplest minds 1t enables perfect
stranger, without other guide than his own
intelligence, to find without difficulty the
locality of any house Of which the street
and number has been furnished him. The
names proposed by Mr.. Springer may, as
has been suggested, embody more dignity
and individuality" than those now in use,
but VIC don't just exactly see how that
would improve the situation. The main
desideratum in a system of street nomen-
clature is simplicity and order, and these
two essentials are excellently represented in
our present system. Let our streets be
kept clean and in good repair, and tho peo-
pie will doubtless manage to struggle along
without dignity and individuality in
in their nomenclature.

of decrease of the visible supply, and

 Probably it is the involuntary thought on entering a lsborer's cottage to estimate the value of the furniture.

The interior strongly 3D. peals to one's artistic taste, it's poverty is un- disguised, there is no ooncealment, no pre- tence about it.

that the fresh flavor, the smack and taste in the mouth of sweet kind homeiiness is felt to be as nourishing as the breath of COW. In such poor places we feel the warm touch of simple domesticity about country fireside and hearth, and plate racks and box beds, and corner cupboards and clothes chests. that stamps peasants cottages all the world over as being the homes of broad chested mothers with great wealth of faith and love in their hearts, And mothers they are, who having in their younger days worked in the fields, give to their bairns ihtuitively the in- eatimable love for the fields and forests and corn growing earth which the mothers tasted themselves when their hearts were young. No other class on earth have so great affecta- ton for their native places as peasants. Very often they help themselves to potatoes and salt on the plateless system; a squeeze of the forefnger and thumb skins the plant of it's thin coat, and dip or two of pepper and salt on the table is the foundation of their dinners tablecloth is only used on great occasions, carpet is unknown; the hard- ness and simplicity is completed with the want of any soft seat. This life may possi- ply be rude, but it is certainly not vulgar, nor mean, nor sour.
