Ordcr of Thing. In ENGLAND.

The hinds, as they are still called, the
hclots on the estates, are as stolid and
british u race as any peasantry in the
world, aud seem like the slaves Of the
south before emancipation, content with
their condition, because they have never
known or conceived any OTHER. They
are bred to suppose that what they see is
the natural order of things, and that
change is not only wrong but impossible,
that their lot is ordained Of God, as inc
vitable rs death, and deliverancc as fur
of MS the stars.
The parson breaches this doctrine as
religion; the squire lays 1t down us law;
for the squire is also the Justice of the
peace, the highest and often the only Of
iicer of the law the laborcr ever sees.
Law, religion, rlnk, power, all are on
one side; and tile wretch with his shilling
a day and his family to support, lives
near the palace of his master, and rUts
and drinks, or starves and dies, ignorant
Of the possibility Of Improvement, and

TO DESIGN a MONOGRAM.

A Bias. OF stlxed.Up Letters aud orna-
meats-Itules Which Are Violated.
Scarcely anything seems % easy as 70
tesls spaon5g yetiesNsse very '.i.e
successful ones, the most Of them being
a mass Of mixed.up letters and orna-
ments Of which we can find neither tile
beginning nor tile end. There is a law
regulating the designing Of everything,
and It is this law which the true designer
keeps in mind and applies to his work;
the effects Of obedience to this law, and
its violation, are seen as clearly in the
design Of u monogram as III the design
for ii cathedral.
First, there should be harmony Of COM
position, that is, the letters should 30
emphasize, subdue, or control cach other
that tile composition should impress us
as compact, appropriate, and, being 80,
beautiful.
Second, there should be no unnpces.
Sary ornamentation; there should be a
quiet and peace about the design which
will always please the truly artistic.
Looking at some designs, we get the i'm.
preston that ornament was SO plentiful
that the designer saw no other means of
consumption than that Of burying his
designs in it, for we see that there is a
mass Of curves, angles, shades, and
leaves, but nothing else.
Third, simplicity of lettering is an i'm.
portant requisite, as there should be no
possibility of miStaking 0n E for a G or
G, and the boundaries or outlines Of the
letters should be well defined.
Fourth, the orderof sequence Of the let
ters should be carefully attended to, The
common idea is that n certain number Of
letters are given with which to make a
pleasing design, aud so far, that impress
sion is right; but there is something be-
yond this. There is the art Of SO placing
the letters that one can distinguish at n
glance the first, the central, and the last
letter, Now, the rule to be observed to
secure this result is as follows: The last
letter of the monogram must be the
principal feature, and must be the
largest, the boldest, and the heaviest let
ter: then the first letter must be the next
in size, but the lightest in outline and
color; then the central letter must be the
smallest, and of nn Intermediate tint. If
the monogram is of four letters, the two
intermediate must be.of the same size,
and the second letter lighteri in outline
md color than tile third.-Art Amateur.

When Tca Does lio.t Hnrm,

while at other times itSuse leads to much

ing palpitation and M uneasy sensation
almost amounting to actual pain about
the upper part Of the cardiac region,
generally on the left side. Now you will
find that this difference Ill their capa.
bility Of tOlcNting tea is often dependent
on some emotional disturbance Of tho
nervous system; the instant there Is any
worry or anxiety or mental uneasiness
tea will at once disagree with such per.
sons, md when the emotional wave has
passed by, and condition Of nervous
calm has been rC-estAblislcd, tie use Of
tea can le resumed. 1t is often Inn

a good deal more, which the narrator had
forgotten.
"Ihe men tried to shout to the giant
and tell him what it was that they
wanted, but their voices were too weak,
and he could not hear n word they said.
Atlength he lifted them up to his ear in
his hand, and a whole boats crew
marched in at the hole, and went even
such long way up inside, and then they
all shouted together and told him they
had come from their king to ask him fol

able to hear what even then seemed tc
him only a whisper. Unlike his kind
the giant was apparently as good ma.

the hair, when put on board the fleet

There is Il saying among tie Russians
that q man who is fond OF his horses will
not grow old early. The Arab and the
CosScs are examples Of the truth Of tile
proycrb, They generally live long, en-.
joy robust health, and have no Use for
liver pads and blue pills. That vigorous
oCtOgenarian, David Dudley Field, tells
us that he attributes his remarkable
vitality to the habit Of horseback riding,
and il tho truth were known, II
would doubtless appear that our
sturdiest old men are those who have
been fond of the saddle. Tic taste for
equestrian sports and exercise which has
lately made such progress in Brooklyn is
therefore hopeful and healthful sign.
1t is not mere freak Of fashion, hut n
development in the direction of rational
enjoyment and an assurance that the ris-
ing generation well be less Of an indoor
and more OF an outdoor people. 1t means
less headache hereafter, better appetitcs,
stronger lungs, roster cheeks, brighter
eyes, soundcr sleep, happier spirits, and
total oblivion of that organ which, nc
cording to Sidney Smith, keeps men n
good deal lower than the Qngcls-tlc

How Cellars Should ps Ventilated

The purpose of ventilating cellars is to
make them cool and dry, TheyNre often
ventilated so ms to bc warm anAidanp.
This is done when the air adn tilted to
them from without is considerably
warmer than the air within them. Com.
ing into the cooler cellar, this air, while
it raises the temperature of the cellar
air itself is cooled, and deposits its mois.
turc, which soon becomes evident at
visible or palpable dampncss. Therefore
all the ventilation Of cellars in warm
weather should be done at night, and the
cellar should he kept closed between
