in their city is altogether too high 1t is so ev-
erywhere. People are too apt to live up to their
incomes, if not beyond them; thus affecting a
degree of ''style" which is most unhealthy in its
effect upon society at large. There is an ambi-
ton to bring up boys as gentlemen, or rather
''genteel" men. They acquire taste for dress,
style, luxuries and amusements, which can new
er form any solid foundation for manly or gen.
tlemanly character, and the result is, there is a
vast number of gingerbread young gentry

Hints TO PARENTs.-"If you practice severity,
speak harshly, frequently punish in anger, you
will find your children will .imbibe your spirit
and manner. But if you are wise, and treat
your little ones with tenderness, you will fix the
image of love in their minds, and they will love
you and each other, and in their conversation
will initiate that which they have heard from
the tenderest friends that children have on
earth." Childhood is the sowing season, aud al
though the fruit may not be developed until late
in life, its very rarely that good seed fails to pro-
duce bountiful harvest

Lola Montez ironically remarked to a young

sYou ought to know that there are four things

the nearer you can come in uniting these about

loved. This is cheap and excellent recipe for
making dandy, creature which is always an
object of admiration to the ladies'"

lived husband happy in the tue love of his

wise little perceptions that arise SO quietly and

vaguely ascribe the fitness to q special faculty
called womans tact.


Women, in short, keep to themselves four
Gfths of the secrets of society, and do it with a
winning air of frankness all their own. man
with secret will be stony or portentous, or pro-

secret to set up public sign over whatever may
be buried in her mind She gossips, prattles,
pours out what she does not care to hold with

in painful light. Search history and you cannot

this cnJriaity is petty compared with that elabor-
ate contrivance by which, in Christian age and
within the limits of a Republic, all forms of Con-

rights Of human nature were violated, and the
whole country was held trembling on the edge of

more detestable when its origin is traced to the
maduess for Slavery. The fatal partition between
Freedom and Slavery, known as the Missouri
Compromise; the subsequent overthrow Of this
partition, and the seizure of all by Slavery; the
violation Of pighted faith; the conspiracy to force
Slavery at all hazards into Kansas; the successive
invasous by which all security thore was destroy
