The old-fashionod ideas of what constituted a good man, woman, or child, are exploded. High persoual honor and character, hospitality, love of society, moderato but sufliclens industry, charity, aud a dispo- sition to taxe the world pleasantly and oasily, used to be among thie promineny qualities of & good man, Ovor-smartness, nusoolabllity, and in short overy quality that teuds to the making of monay and the absence of all that can pose albly or in any way intorfore with tho ruling passion, sro oqually characteristic of the good, reapectable man of the day, To be virtuous, charitable, and bonevolent; to look carofully afler lior houwehold and shil- dren; to study lier husband's houor and wel- fare, avoudiug all oxtravagances, always formed part of # good womaw's attributes in days 5:0uo y.

For utging on this claim ho desired logal advice, but could not pay for it unloss out of any judgment he might rocover agalast the Com. pany.
