This is emphatically the age of cheap finery. We are all running away after appearances. Instead of striving to obtain tl content with the nearest cheap imitation of it. We have abandoned realities, and are grasping after their shadows. We say. what is the use of paying @ great price for a sterling article, when we can get something that looks just like it for a one? So we take the sham and reject ti ine. and then pat ourselves on the back Gee shveiednass aad eventart” We have got the glitter, who cares for the gold ’ The old proverb is musty and behind the age. We have run so tar ahead of its fogyism in our fast way of doing things. as to have discovered that it ts the glitter which makes the value of the metal, and uot the solidity and purity of the gold within. We have become wise ss ser- pents, aecording~to the improved theory of wisdom —getting the most for our money, rather than the best; and it is to be feared we are not always quite as harmless as doves in our way of getting it, fur our wisdom savors a little of the quality of that which was brought to bear upon our mother Eve. There is a terrible twang of deception about it. We build houses with fine brown stone fronts made of brick, and covered with painted and sunded plaster, marked off into chain blocks, we enter them through oaken or walnut doors made of grained pine, and pass through veati- bules floored with marble mosaic made of baked clay, and sit down on veneered sofas before scagliola marble chimney pieces and mantels made of enameled iron. “Over such mantels we place mirrors in gilt frames, enriched with elaborate carving wade of composition pressed in moulds and stuck on with glue. In one re- cess we hang hundred dollar water color draw- ings, that is to say, printed imitations which cost five—and in another, handsume book-cases with mahogany faces and pine bodies, filling the lower shelves with books and the upper with richly bound blocks of wood. of assorted sizes. Just now, pictures are fashionable; so wo go to auction and buy ‘valuable oil paintings.” which are made at short notice, by the quanti- ty, and “carefully selected,”’ and sold at prices varying from ten to twenty-five dollars, -*in- eluding an elegant gilt frame.’ We have them sent home without any compunctious vis- itings of conscience about the smallness of the price ; for that i+ the artist's business, not ours; and we call in our friends to admire them (pre- serving @ disereet silence as to their cost.) which they do with such ardor, that we begin to feel a little uncertain whether they are not poking fun at us. The next time we get into an omnibus the uncertainty is removed—for as we glance at the small gallery of art ranged above the win- dows, we experience a slight feeling of sur- prise, of not the most agreeable kind, of recog- nizing the hand of the artist. (or one of the same school.) who executed the remarkable specimens which decorate our walls. We find that our bargains have introduced to us an ex- tensive circle of the very indifferent acquaiu- tances of their own class. which we feel indis- posed to cultivate, and we begin to suspect that, if anybody has been cheated, it is not the painter We scatter marble statues made of painted iron along our garden walks. We drink our coffee on great occasions out of imitation Sevres china cups, filled from silver coffee pots, flank- ed by silver cream jugs and silver bowls, all made of plated Albata, sitting in dining rooms covered with cheap carpets of Brussels pattern, and lined with rich oak paneling made by the paper hanger. We wear sham eravats on our necks, buttoned surreptitiously under spurious front . around fake ollars made of white paper; and on our feet self compressing Con- ress gaiters, with rows of delusive buttons in ront, te convey the idea that they are fasten- ed in the legitimate way. We display massive seal rings and fub chains, and carry ponderous looking pencils, which are marvelous for the space the small quantity of gold in their hol- low balk is make to fill. Our daughters wear expensive point lace adornments. (we do not know their names, nor do we know much about point lace, except that it is some sort of net work of fabulous cust.) made of aume more economical material, and washed in some way which is « great secret, sv as to give them the yellowish tint supposed to mark the genuine article. They wear Canton erape shawls which John Chinaman never saw. and Cashmere shawls manufactured at Pais iey, and India silks that never passed the Equa- tor, and furs that would astonish the animals whose names they bear. if they could see them. When they (the daughters, that is,) are mar- ried, we give grand weddi displaying tables filled with extravagantly expensive bridal gifts, setts of gold and silver spoons, forks, trait knives, toa services, neck laces, bracelets, &c.—touching tributes of affection from dear friends who are on our visiting list, and have been invited to the ceremony; and which, after the parade is over, are carefully packed up, and—quietly returned to the jeweler from whom we hired them. [This shan is going a little out of fashion since some indisereet person ex- it.] Bat they still wear sham flowers in their costly bonnets—that is. in the little straw or velvet caps they used to cover their back hair when in the street—and sham braids of hair on their heads in front of the aforesaid bonnets. We scan the performers at the opera through lorgnettes, hired at twenty-five cents a night, a deposit for their safe return, as noncha- as if they belonged tous. We ride about in earriages hired by the yea: chman with velvet hatband, big buckle, and a large caped cvat included, all got up in the most elaborate style. We build churehes with -tone fronts and brick sides, decorated on the outside with carved stone brackets and corn painted wood or clay, and on the i wall paper panels, and —— recesses, and pilasters, and mouldings. half of whose shadows always fall the wrong way by daylight, and by grslight beeome ** confusion worse confound- ed.” We stick all manner of plaster gimerack- ery over the walls and ceiling. We paint a deep alcove behind the pulpit, and then neu- tralize the effect by putung a sofa against the wall where it is painted. so that when the preacher sitsdown he has the contradictory appearance of resting his head against a wall. which is supposed to be ten feet in bis rear, and maintaining all the while his upright position It confuses our ideas of proportion and per- spective dreadfully. We also found our notions of architectural proportion, once treated with the most unwarrantable contempt, by an or- geo front in a new church, which was intended to be something beyond the reach of criticizm. ‘This organ was so designed as to require 8 col- umn at each tank, supperting an_entablature ucresa the top of the front pipes. To effect thi the building had taken two Corinthian columns, such as were placed under the galleries, and as they were too long by several feet, had sawed off the shafts to the’ requisite length, leaving them as broad and squatty as Egyptian ecoi- umns, and then put them in their places, spoil- ing by their abominable mutilation and de- formity the whole design, which, properly car- ried out. would have been good enough. Well, when we have built the church, we take our comfortable seats in it as an express train, with the manageiment of which we have nothing to do, all booked and ticketed, and leaving the responsibility of our arrival in Heaven to the pastor, whom we regard asa sort of engine-driver. and to the elders who take the place of conductors, and whose bus - nes: it is to put us aaah safely, with as little jarring or disturbance of our nap as possible, ‘to the last station on the hither bank of the final river; and though we have been warned that each man must cross this river alone, as best he can, we nod on cozily and comfortably, trust- ing that some way will be provided somehow or other for ferrying us over, or that the pastor (that is, the engine-driver) will see to it, and at any rate there is no use in bothering about it until we get somewhere near the station. Then we are charitable—rery.

C., THURSDAY, MARCH 24, with lot of hired children, thatstops usin the Street, and dismiss them with a great deal of good adviee about going to work, &e.—only we don’t show them where or how to go—be- cause our hearts are so easily touched by the appearance of misery that we can't, we really eun't resist ; that is, it is a great deal easier to help people to homilies and three cent pieces, than follow them to their homes and see into the truth of theirstory, and put them in a way to help themselves. "We show the most lauda- ble alacrity in assisting all benevolent enter- prises, and get ourselves called to preside at meetings held to organize them, with the gr est enthusiasin. We rise with overflowing hearts to make a few unpremeditated remarks, got by rote the day before; head subseriptions with liberal sums, which are not to be called fur, in order to induce somebody else to sub- scribe a similar sum, which is to be called for, aud furnish the reporters of morning papers with a copy of our speech, together with the proceedings of the meeting and the names of the officers. We tarn up our eyes with edifying conscien- tiousneas at the idea of shaving ten cent. from a promissory note, and turn them down again, complacently, and prick up our ears at the offer of a ground rent or oo at the same discount; because ‘you see, that is a different thing; it is a—it is—that is, you know—there is a difference—whon you take real estate se- curity. you—a-a-a—it is—so, you see—a-a—”* to be sure; not a doubt of it; nothing could be clearer. Then, we write elaborate art-eriticism, pro- fuscly illustrated (by the aid of a pee with learned techuivalitics, such as breadth, tone, warmth, chiaro-scuro. perspective, lights, touch, foreground, middle distance, atmospheric effects, intersected with a great deal o: nt about handling, style. execution, composition, idealism, lovely bits of distance, &c., of the meaning of which we have as accurate percep- tion as school-boys, with imperfectly developed mathematical organs, have of what the dreaded Pons Asinorum is all about when they have got through saying it ‘off the book.” We get up a reputation as /itterateur: (we hate using foreign words in English writing, but ne other word expresses the idea so well,) based, with regard to books. upon the advice of Dean Swift—wasn’t it ’—to a friend. with regard to the members of the English Peerage y of their and we descant upon their ts, and discourse dreary platitudes con- me cerning their want of plot, their lack of origin- ality, their inartistic denouement, or, on the other hand, of their “independent noble tone.” their free. untrameled expression of thought, their ‘‘entrancing pictures of the beautiful,” the truthful delineation of this writer’s style,” (we copy this last, verbation, from a news- paper criticism; what 7s a ‘truthful delin- eation’’ a style’) with a gravity and profund- ity that almost delude ourselves into the idea that we are talking sense. We have a great many other shams among us; thoughtful men, who never say any- s because they never have anything to say; their gravity and thoughtfulness being of: the owliest kind, requiring no brains, but only a discreet silence, backed by a solemn counte- nance to give them effect ;— dignified men, whose dignity consists in looking pompous and pronouncing long-tailed words, with a sonorous wobble of voice, calculated to produce a feelin: of respectful awe in their heaters—celebrated writers. whose names nobody ever saw or heard, until they were placarded in big letters on al! the blank walls, and announced with a flourish in the flath newspapers, (which themselves should take a high rank in the list of shame, only we can’t stop to deal with them now,) for which they get up blood and thunder stories by the yard, mixing sixteenth century grandiosity and our own dear nineteenth century’s Jakey- isms in the same speaker's mouth, in the fun- niest manner conceivable. There is a host, besides, which we have nei- ther time nor space even to enumerate. Alto- gether, when we think how little of anything genuine we see or hear—of how few things we can say ‘this is itself and isn’t something else’"—of how we are constantly trying to throw dust into our neighbor's eyes, conscious all the while that they are trying the sume thing with us, the wonder is that we can ever look each other in the face without laughing ——__—_- wee + __- Tus Two Tewrerauents.—People can be reduced to two classes—the morose and misan- tiropic, and those who are all sunshine and nappiness; those that seem born to laugh alike at happiness and misery, who go through the world as if sent upon au agreeable errand; and those, on the other hand, who always look and speak as if they had conceived some dislike to the world in their infancy, and were bound to carry their resentment with them to the grave. We meet with some one of each of these classes every day. One we greet as we do the warm patil Br of heaven, for we experience in his society the highest happiness that life can af- ford; the other inspires us with gloom and en- nui, for misanthropy is the worst of all moral epidemics. Shake off those averted looks and cold glances, man, and put ona smiling face, and not act as though you saw an enemy in every body who crosses your path. Instead of regretting what you have not. thank (iod for what you have, and go on your way rejuicing. The man to walk with in the pilgrimage of life is the one whose soul rises above petty annoy- ances and ills—who, amidst the present dark- ness, eau always see a bright and glorious fu- ture beyond. There are some men who never speak but to report some ache or ee or to recount some sorrow. They go forth in search of sympathy. but never think ofimparting it. They are ever croaking about the wretchedness of life, and yet do nothing to diminish it; they seem dis- satisfied with everything. and with discontent. Whatever may dition, inwardly or outwardly, wan, try to wear acheerful face. You may be poor and obliged to work day by day. but remember the world isa place of toil. Millions who have toiled be- fore you are now at rest inthe kingdom. Are you abused’ So was the most perfect man the world ever saw. Abuse will not injure a ster- ling character. Harsh words rebound to the speaker's own heart. If youcomplain at every shap. every slander, every dog at your heels, u will pass # life of misery. Cheer up, then, man, for the sunlight always shines down upon us all. The beautiful objects with which God has everywhere studded the earth speak to us of happiness. Learn a lesson from nature's cheerful face. We learn something about peo- ple’s temperaments in our reportorial travels. ew Bedford Mercury soe, — A Fricutrrt Scexr.—A frightful scene might have been witnessed yesterday morning on the roof of a three-story house situated on Water street, between Monroe and Quiney. A young man was standing upon the comb of the roof repairing a chimney, when the shingles being wet and slippery, he lost bis fuothold and slid slowly down, feet foremost, toward the eaves. The twoor three persons who witnessed the accident turned away sick with terror. Al- though the man made every effort to get a hold, which the fear of certain death would naturally prompt, he moved slowly down, and was only checked from falling to the pavement below by a water-spout. against which his feet came in contact. But for this frail obstruction he must have been dashed into a shapeless mass. Without attering a cry for help the yoang man kicked off his shoes and proceeded to ascend, which he succeeded in doing, and went to work at his chimney again, apparently taking little account of an accident which had made eeye witnesses beartsick and dumb with terror — Wheeling Intelligencer.
