Extravaganza in Living.

Such crimes as those Of Ferdinand
Ward, while they spring often from de-
pravity. are oftner the result of mere
weakness of character. Thackeray in
many of his miaor sketches constantly
draws the portrait of the man aud
woman whose means are not equal to
the style of living which they desire;
and they desire it not for itself, but only
because others have it. They are not
strong and steady enough to be content
with that which they can command and
afford, and ihe means to secure the other
must somehow be obtained. Thackeray
puts the fact in the simplest and most
amusing form. The young couple must
give dinner, and instead of the joint CT
lamb and the glass of beer whicn is the
only repast to which they have the moral
right to invite friend-if, indeed, the
beer may be morally permitted-they
must needs prepare a feast which they
can not honestly afford, and for the sole
reason that other people who can afford
it give such feasts.
1t is this doing little more, or great
deal more, than the doer can honestly
afford, which leads to the swindles Of
Wall street. Living in a house too ex-
pensiye for his means, maintaining it
accordingly, dressing as his richer neigh
bOrs dress, doing IN all things as they
dot is this weak compliance which is
hidden in the line houses, and drives to
the Park in the fine equlpages, which
presently ends in Ludlow Street Jail and
hopeless disgrace. Yet it is the poorest
kind of competition, because the little
imitator might see even with his dull
eyes that there must always be a few
persons who can do the thing" better
than all the rest, and without feeling it.
The bullfrog may swell until he bursts,
but he can not rival the OK.
This is the tendency which all sensible
people-and 4 great many otherwise
sensible people are swept away by it
ought quietly to resist. The power Of
individual example is immense, but Il is
often underestimated by the individual.
MY vote is of no consequence, but, since
you wish it, will vote" said man to
his neighbor, and the right candidate
was elected by majority of one. The
family which in the midst of saturnalia
of luxury and extravaganza refuses TO
take part in it. and holds to n simple,
moderate, temperate way, is diminishing.

stated that the only proper way to apply
water is to remove two or three inches
of the surface sol, leaving little hollow
just above the stem; into this pour the
water with as little fierce as possible,
and be sure to apply enough. After the

1.
81 will scatter purple blossoms"
In the pathway clear and high,
While the heroes of Atlanta
Are superbly marching by.
And the cheers Of many millions
OF loyal men and true,
Shall forever keep sounding
For our gallant Boys in Blue.
ii.
81 will scatter purple blossoms"
For the living and the dead,
And for all the gallant heroes
Who for the country bled.
And as thei- shattered columns
March proudly into view,
l hear the millions cheering
For our gallant Boys in Blue.
III.
81 will scatter purple blossoms"
As their tattered colors fly,
For Logan guides the column
With the spiendor of his eye,
And | hear his voice commanding
As it grandly used to do,
When he led us to Atlanta
With his gallant Boys in Blue.
".
81 will scatter purple blossoms"
Whenthe Nations flowers fall
With Immortal garlands wreathing,
For the brOws of each and all,
And while the drums and trumpets
Are reverberating, too
l bring wreath for Lyon
And his gallant Boys in Blue.
V.
"I will scatter purple blossoms"
The faireSt that / see
Are all too poor for heroes
Who shed their blood for me;
But not shining garland
For any Of the crew
Who fired upon the banner
OF our gallant Boys in Blue.
VI.
81 will scatter purple blossoms"
For the Christly men who dared
To tight for God and Freedom
And their country's dangers shared,
And the promise, as l take it,
Of the offering richly due,
Is that Logan gets the ballsts
Of the gallant Boys in Blue.
VII.
81 will scatter puple blossoms"
And for every dusky hand
Much grander tributes falling
And flashing DER the land;
And tears and blessings with them,
Thus offered not few
BY men who owe their freedom
To eur Logan Boys in Blue.
VIII.
al will scatter purple blossoms"
But the fair. who love the brave,
Will shower their floral treasures
At the feet of men who gave
Their rich young years of promise
For the Union, tried and true,
Who fought the hundred battles
OF our gallant Boys in Blue.
81 will scatter purple blossoms"
Yes, and cheer them as they come
With their riddled banners flying
All their trophies to the sun;
And the honOrs that we give them,
o, tbs all that we can do
Is 10 vote for John A. Logan
And his gallant Boys and Blue!
