Progress and refinement have brought society 1to Its moat difficult period, though literature and fiction take no notice of this. The pictured ease of Mr. Disraeli's novels, those dinners of witty men and women where feminine intelligence draws out the masculine, are among the rarest of social successes. For once when such contact has hit off sinne brilliant or charming or soothing efffect, it misses ten times or twenty. And the annoyance is greatest in having been dull or stupid in each other's company, and the exposure more telling; when often repeated, it results In a settled disinclination for the scene of such discomforts.

BILLIAIIDS I There is much truth in the assertion of an acute but rather cynical observer that social science is unsociableness reduced to a science ; that progress in comfort and convenience, and all the facilities which make life easy, conduce to isolation ; that the more snug people are at home the less they like to leave it; that sofas and e&ty chairs have knocked hospitality on the head ; that Berials aud magazines have superseded gossip by word of mouth ; that the imagination receives and en* tertaius through novpls ; that, in short, society in our day is best figured by the Lady of 8halott, the ncwsjiaper •being the shield through which we see the world. And this tone falls quite naturally with ihe feeling, or rather the habits of the day. A man Is out of harmony with his age who decants on the pleasures of society- No modern authority professes frank enjoyment in the company of his fellow creatures. A sensation of musty antiquity pervades every avowul of Such sentiments as "The hours we spend in conversation are the most pleasing we ever enjoy." "That part of life we spend in company is the most pleasing ot all our moments," tell their own date, aud cannot certainly be less than a hundred years old ; as they are, in fact, some score years more, being found the Tutler. Nobody ev?r tells his dream now with the prelude, "Methf uglit I was in the midst of a very agreeable company," Jivery picture of the sort recalls the days of formal dresses and uneasy furniture. AVeare not sure that any divine of our day would own to Phillip Henry's vindication of town life—that it was always a pleasure to him to see a good man pass along the street. There are two ways of solacing ourselves ill fatigue or weariness of spirit—either by repose oi head or limb, or by counter exclteirtent and the exercise of other faculties. When dress was a restraint and bodily comfort was not viewed as an art, the best resource was the stimulus of company, talking, dancing, card-playing- And it is still the case in many countries that the pheasants who work all day dance late into the night; voluntary movement is their rest. Home to them offers few attractions ; meaning, it may be, a stool by a smoking or tireless hearth, a place to shun till supper-time or bed-tiine comes. People in such circumstances are ready for any form of amuses mcnt. It is no new thing to like one's case ; but the arts and habits of life have advanced slowly in this direction ; with their advance comes independence with external aids. Relaxation, which once was social, nffects the hermit. We grow more sensitive to the annoyances of intercourse and find it answers best for our immediate ends to consult self only. Of old, ennui interfered with this selfishness but ennui is not the universal enemy it used to be. Time is not so often nowa-days, called "the enemy." The idlest of us have more resources than idleness once found ready to hand. Heading is an enormous power of spending time lazily and unptofitably which used to be simply yawned away. We have a literature which needs so little intellectual effort that even the family of Osbaliston would not have been driven to pilch and toss cutting cudgels, or biting their thumbs as the sole occupations of leisure. Nobody, even in poetry, proposes the absurd and impossible indulgence of lying under a tree. Much 30. 1871-lJ* LEATHER BRUSHES.

Alto Agents for Physicians and Dentists STONE QTJARAY. Something of all this may be due to modern habits of self-analysis, to a growing study of sensations which disturbs tbo swing Imparted by external action and events. The diversion to be found In company, as such, used to be taken for granted; people did not review their own experience after each taste of it. Now things are changed, and this form of amusement is put upon Its trial, and charged with the onus of proof like any other. The mere trouble and costof it seemed once to argue that it must be worth Its price —as Professor Wilson said of horse exercise, that riding held its ground as a pleasure because It was expensive, and purchased pain is by Idiots thought pleasure. The thinkers of the last century did, indeed, begin to speculate on the matter ; one excellent woman we find rebuking herself for a splenetic lit of dissatisfaction with society in the words of Epidtetus: "But yon are -wretched and discontented ; be pleased and make the best of everything. Call society an entertainment and a festival." And the wits made discoveries. When Mrs. Montague saw "our maccaronic beaux and coterie dames," go into the country to pass the winter holidays in traditional gayetle9, she prophesied failure. The world she considered past Its youth, and the people who went to their dreary mansion to keep their Christmas she foresaw would not laugh till they got back to London again. But whatever the feeling toward country visiting, solitary ease and snug comfort were as yet nobody's ideal, eitheras a pleasure or a virtue. This line lady, who felt it to be a misfortune that few pleased her drew the inference that she must enlarge her circle of acquaintance. Hhe couiifbear with twenty disagreeable people better than with one ; and when she loses friends she accepts the " mechanic help" of numbers as aids to flagging spirits and vivacity. DK. 0. M.

Cood manners, which we already possess and for which we hold the only legitimate and reliable basis, need simply to be refined. As the nation becomes more relined, manners will be only one of the forms and modes through Which tlie growing idea of that which is graceful and beautiful will express Itself. The man who feels finely will act finely, provided he mingles sufficiently in society to act freely. Manners pursued as an art, for their own sake, will become artificial, and thus react upou the character in a very disagreeable way. —J. a. norland.

When gooil talking would at least get a man a dinner in good company, nobody would throw himself upon his pen for a meagre support till he had failed or proved himself unfit for social successes, including a patron and a chance of a pension. Things are changed since the time when it was the boast at Bulstrode that the paper used to remain unopened day after day. Those who would have entertained the world by their talk in tho eighteenth ceutury now mirror society to us of the nineteenth, and though different medium. We do not deny that it is some compensation for the old flash or flow of wit, but it is very far from being all gain if it helps us to do without each other's company. Looking through the country as a whole, we doubt if, ever since society framed itself, sociability was so much out of fashion as it is now; and there are causes at work which seem more likely to extend the breach than to solder It up. For there there is a growing resentment of patronage, an assumption of equal terms in all familiar contact, which threatens to contact which threatens to convert every Invitation to dinner into an act of humiliation or of self-asse tion. It Is pleasati' to entertain inferiors as such, but pride takes the alarm when advantage is taken of its condecentipns, and the more grades multiply and the scale of precedence refines itself, the more contracted will be even the possibilities of genial intercourse.—Home Journal. piTTSTON DYE HOUSE, BIEISIT SfTIYILIEISl Every variety of Marble Tombstones, Monuments of (intone or Marble, Mantles of Marble or Blute, all dons up ,4n the bei«lit of niyle, either plain or ornamental.ant) at th« loweit prices. 238 SOUTH MAIN STREET, Millinery and Fancy Goods Plumber*' b tones, 4c calK C • ( 4 / V, -I ft Dun t fail' to Kiva tis a Jan 1 '73 (Basement), PITTSTON, PENN'A MRS- MAKY J SMITH, thankful for the iibe-nl patronage ht- rtofore enjoyed, has now the pleiuiure of announcing the receipt of a large an J Freeh rival of all kindn and latent style* of Lowest IPricfes. mj lUjji-i-xj iuJi.it !!i..i i war, (larmantnof all kind* colored and scoured in the best manner and without daninga to the fabric.

Good company in the old essayists generally means the gathering of wits and men of intellect lu clubs and coffee-houses, where conversation was carried on as a sort of game in an arena with observers and listeners. The ladies' tea-table makes a poor figure by the side of the tavern. Society now means the intellectual Intercourse of the two sexes-a much more fatiguing thing, 110 doubt, affording some keen pleasures which the other lacks ; but not for long spaces.of time. Easy talk can be kept up for an indefinitely longer period where the sexes are out of hearing of each other, though the excitement is greater when they mingle.

Progress and refinement have brought society 1to Its moat difficult period, though literature and fiction take no notice of this. The pictured ease of Mr. Disraeli's novels, those dinners of witty men and women where feminine intelligence draws out the masculine, are among the rarest of social successes. For once when such contact has hit off sinne brilliant or charming or soothing efffect, it misses ten times or twenty. And the annoyance is greatest in having been dull or stupid in each other's company, and the exposure more telling; when often repeated, it results In a settled disinclination for the scene of such discomforts.

BILLIAIIDS I There is much truth in the assertion of an acute but rather cynical observer that social science is unsociableness reduced to a science ; that progress in comfort and convenience, and all the facilities which make life easy, conduce to isolation ; that the more snug people are at home the less they like to leave it; that sofas and e&ty chairs have knocked hospitality on the head ; that Berials aud magazines have superseded gossip by word of mouth ; that the imagination receives and en* tertaius through novpls ; that, in short, society in our day is best figured by the Lady of 8halott, the ncwsjiaper •being the shield through which we see the world. And this tone falls quite naturally with ihe feeling, or rather the habits of the day. A man Is out of harmony with his age who decants on the pleasures of society- No modern authority professes frank enjoyment in the company of his fellow creatures. A sensation of musty antiquity pervades every avowul of Such sentiments as "The hours we spend in conversation are the most pleasing we ever enjoy." "That part of life we spend in company is the most pleasing ot all our moments," tell their own date, aud cannot certainly be less than a hundred years old ; as they are, in fact, some score years more, being found the Tutler. Nobody ev?r tells his dream now with the prelude, "Methf uglit I was in the midst of a very agreeable company," Jivery picture of the sort recalls the days of formal dresses and uneasy furniture. AVeare not sure that any divine of our day would own to Phillip Henry's vindication of town life—that it was always a pleasure to him to see a good man pass along the street. There are two ways of solacing ourselves ill fatigue or weariness of spirit—either by repose oi head or limb, or by counter exclteirtent and the exercise of other faculties. When dress was a restraint and bodily comfort was not viewed as an art, the best resource was the stimulus of company, talking, dancing, card-playing- And it is still the case in many countries that the pheasants who work all day dance late into the night; voluntary movement is their rest. Home to them offers few attractions ; meaning, it may be, a stool by a smoking or tireless hearth, a place to shun till supper-time or bed-tiine comes. People in such circumstances are ready for any form of amuses mcnt. It is no new thing to like one's case ; but the arts and habits of life have advanced slowly in this direction ; with their advance comes independence with external aids. Relaxation, which once was social, nffects the hermit. We grow more sensitive to the annoyances of intercourse and find it answers best for our immediate ends to consult self only. Of old, ennui interfered with this selfishness but ennui is not the universal enemy it used to be. Time is not so often nowa-days, called "the enemy." The idlest of us have more resources than idleness once found ready to hand. Heading is an enormous power of spending time lazily and unptofitably which used to be simply yawned away. We have a literature which needs so little intellectual effort that even the family of Osbaliston would not have been driven to pilch and toss cutting cudgels, or biting their thumbs as the sole occupations of leisure. Nobody, even in poetry, proposes the absurd and impossible indulgence of lying under a tree. Much 30. 1871-lJ* LEATHER BRUSHES.

Alto Agents for Physicians and Dentists STONE QTJARAY. Something of all this may be due to modern habits of self-analysis, to a growing study of sensations which disturbs tbo swing Imparted by external action and events. The diversion to be found In company, as such, used to be taken for granted; people did not review their own experience after each taste of it. Now things are changed, and this form of amusement is put upon Its trial, and charged with the onus of proof like any other. The mere trouble and costof it seemed once to argue that it must be worth Its price —as Professor Wilson said of horse exercise, that riding held its ground as a pleasure because It was expensive, and purchased pain is by Idiots thought pleasure. The thinkers of the last century did, indeed, begin to speculate on the matter ; one excellent woman we find rebuking herself for a splenetic lit of dissatisfaction with society in the words of Epidtetus: "But yon are -wretched and discontented ; be pleased and make the best of everything. Call society an entertainment and a festival." And the wits made discoveries. When Mrs. Montague saw "our maccaronic beaux and coterie dames," go into the country to pass the winter holidays in traditional gayetle9, she prophesied failure. The world she considered past Its youth, and the people who went to their dreary mansion to keep their Christmas she foresaw would not laugh till they got back to London again. But whatever the feeling toward country visiting, solitary ease and snug comfort were as yet nobody's ideal, eitheras a pleasure or a virtue. This line lady, who felt it to be a misfortune that few pleased her drew the inference that she must enlarge her circle of acquaintance. Hhe couiifbear with twenty disagreeable people better than with one ; and when she loses friends she accepts the " mechanic help" of numbers as aids to flagging spirits and vivacity. DK. 0. M.

Cood manners, which we already possess and for which we hold the only legitimate and reliable basis, need simply to be refined. As the nation becomes more relined, manners will be only one of the forms and modes through Which tlie growing idea of that which is graceful and beautiful will express Itself. The man who feels finely will act finely, provided he mingles sufficiently in society to act freely. Manners pursued as an art, for their own sake, will become artificial, and thus react upou the character in a very disagreeable way. —J. a. norland.

The tone toward the press before that tinin indicates how little share it had iu the distinctions of society ; and ladies, lio-pitable to all beside, could deride "hireling scribblers" as a "hungry crew" without a thought of satisfying nature's cravings at their own tables. If a friend were criticised by the journals, it was explained that "the scribblers got a dinner by it."

BARBER. PROPR. Opposite the Flint National Bunk, MAIN STREET. PITT8TON, PA Miscellaneous ARRIVAL ! When gooil talking would at least get a man a dinner in good company, nobody would throw himself upon his pen for a meagre support till he had failed or proved himself unfit for social successes, including a patron and a chance of a pension. Things are changed since the time when it was the boast at Bulstrode that the paper used to remain unopened day after day. Those who would have entertained the world by their talk in tho eighteenth ceutury now mirror society to us of the nineteenth, and though different medium. We do not deny that it is some compensation for the old flash or flow of wit, but it is very far from being all gain if it helps us to do without each other's company. Looking through the country as a whole, we doubt if, ever since society framed itself, sociability was so much out of fashion as it is now; and there are causes at work which seem more likely to extend the breach than to solder It up. For there there is a growing resentment of patronage, an assumption of equal terms in all familiar contact, which threatens to contact which threatens to convert every Invitation to dinner into an act of humiliation or of self-asse tion. It Is pleasati' to entertain inferiors as such, but pride takes the alarm when advantage is taken of its condecentipns, and the more grades multiply and the scale of precedence refines itself, the more contracted will be even the possibilities of genial intercourse.—Home Journal. piTTSTON DYE HOUSE, BIEISIT SfTIYILIEISl Every variety of Marble Tombstones, Monuments of (intone or Marble, Mantles of Marble or Blute, all dons up ,4n the bei«lit of niyle, either plain or ornamental.ant) at th« loweit prices. 238 SOUTH MAIN STREET, Millinery and Fancy Goods Plumber*' b tones, 4c calK C • ( 4 / V, -I ft Dun t fail' to Kiva tis a Jan 1 '73 (Basement), PITTSTON, PENN'A MRS- MAKY J SMITH, thankful for the iibe-nl patronage ht- rtofore enjoyed, has now the pleiuiure of announcing the receipt of a large an J Freeh rival of all kindn and latent style* of Lowest IPricfes. mj lUjji-i-xj iuJi.it !!i..i i war, (larmantnof all kind* colored and scoured in the best manner and without daninga to the fabric.

Good company in the old essayists generally means the gathering of wits and men of intellect lu clubs and coffee-houses, where conversation was carried on as a sort of game in an arena with observers and listeners. The ladies' tea-table makes a poor figure by the side of the tavern. Society now means the intellectual Intercourse of the two sexes-a much more fatiguing thing, 110 doubt, affording some keen pleasures which the other lacks ; but not for long spaces.of time. Easy talk can be kept up for an indefinitely longer period where the sexes are out of hearing of each other, though the excitement is greater when they mingle.
