Fine Clothes and Brave Hearts a Most
 Effective Combination.

One is sorry for the dandies of our day, because, though their clothes fit ever so well, and are ever so fresh, custom prescribes a dark or subfusk hue, and no lace, no velvet (above all, not on coat collars); no slashes, puhs and vandykings; no pearls and gold:
 no gules and azure. The common trousers are shapeless things, and, for perfection, you need two pairs every day. Genius is stunted display Is F checked, and, though you may wear brilliant hose with knickerbockers In the country, glorious waistcoats are rarely seen except in the windows of tailors' shops at Oxford and Cam bridge. The dandy can only cultivate immaculate neatness and perfection of fit. Our officers at Ladysmith, when the place was relieved looked like skeletons, but were as spruce and neat, I have been told, as ever they showed in the park. They cultivated self-respect, like Stendhal. the cele- brated novelist, who was said to have been the only man that shaved every day in the dreadful winter retreat from Moscow. This Is the dandyism which we admire, the perfection of personal self-respect exhibited in Jul. jus Caesar, Claverhouse and Montrose. combing his lovelocks, like the Three Hundred of Thermopylae, on the morn ing of his shameful death. He went to the gibbet like bridegroom to his bride. History and "the human heart by which we live" have an inn mortal tenderness for the great, the wise, the brave. who have died dan- dies as they~lived, gallant hearts and stately gentlemen.-Century kaga- zine. ts&s+a s.'
