men, driven to this menial pursuit lor a
livelihood. Tho horses rolled tlio smoke
of prido through their nostrils, nnd pranced
in tho covetous delight of being cmplovcd
in tho service of grontnoM. Ho rejplunifent
was tho carriage, that punning objects
worn reflected by tho uriftUtincd varnish ns
from a mirror. As I Innkud iixjti it, I woo.
dered why tho clunny oriinibussci, groan
ing with their loads of mere ordinary tteople,
mid thn heavy drnys nud carts, filled .villi
merchnndiie, nnd tho dirty market, wagons,
piled with beer, pork, and grain, did not
tum more aiide, so ns to let this splendor
roll by unobstructed, Hurely, thought I,
some great persotiago Is here. llicro
mutt be that within which warrants nil
this display without. And so I tooft some
pains to ascertain who it might bo that was
riding along in such state. (Jolng to tho
edgo of the pavement, I stood still ; nnd ns it
dsihcd alopg, flinging some mud from its
aristocratic wheels into my vulgar face, I be
held, to my surprise, only a sour-looking
little lady, palu nud cadaverous, caressing
a poodle; and I overheard a pasrnr-by say
sneerlngly, "Mrs. Unshio, splurging on tlio
proceed), of her husband's sale of cod
liihl" At I nsited on. looking now and
then at the array of books displayed in thn
largo windows of book-stores, I wondered
how many authors wore trying to drive
along tho crowded high-way of letters in a
similar daahing style. Hook After book, bo
ditoned with gold, bearing an imposing ti
tle, nnd heralded by the roar of a thou-ssnd-voieod
press, passes for something for
awhile ; bnt when you como to examine
thn contents closely, under thn reasonablo
expectation of discovering some great and
lordly thought that will elicit tlio soul's ad.
miration, or some noblo sentiment that will
rouso nil its power to nction in tho mis
sion of "good-will to men, you too olton
turn away iu deep disappointment nnd dis-
gust, that nil is butdiiplay of language and
gilding around aomu sickly airectation or
snarling conceit. It is a shameful pcrver
tion of things to construct a great equip
ago of word, brilliant, noisy, and iMimpous,
only to convey a poor little dog of nn IdoA
through nn afternoon's airing of present ad
miration. Put the yolping tiling into a ken
nel; feed nnd nurse it there, if you will, till
it barks away iti brief existence; but don't
put it in royal equipage, with tho solicitudes
of humanity sacrificed to its worthlcssncus;
and thon have tho presumption to send it
out on tho thnronghfnro of life's dearest iu.
terotta, to draw tho attention from tho
great and good thoughts which tlioro do
congregate in (jlorons procession ; thoughts
of preciousness and power, that mo the
firulo of nations and the delight of happy
lomev, and which as they movo along iu
itatellness, nnd nrundeur, and ntlrncttvo
loveliness, bring to our enra tho advancing
troad of those thundcrim: legions that nru

of thoughts thathnvo conquered so.mucli of
tlio Ignorauco and misery or mankind, oven
tnough wo bo left covered with tho dust
and dirt of tho way. Contemplating- it in

Langungo, besido being adapted to its
purpose ot conveying tliougtit by boing
strong, or beautiful, or stately, just ai tho
thought Ib weighty, beautiful, or kingly,

wrltora and rnoakors aro always distin

derstand them, becauso they have- tho abil
ity to handle tho aubjoots upon which
thoy writ or speak with cloarnosi and with
out ostontation. A multiplicity of high
sounding words may doludo tho ignorant
kilo admiration of a man's profundity,
when ho simply does not understand his
subject, or wishes, concious of littleness, to
swell himself into greatness". Loud nnd

Another interesting tiling was the Sub

a hole in ono end, and tho bottom knocked
