Men cannot be too resolute in the steps they take to diminish this great evil. Most women are amenable to reasonable arguments persistently urged by those they regard with affection, and the remonstrances and representations of a father especially are likely to carry weight with his children, whose errors often arise from the absence of such sensible counsel precisely at that period of life when it is most needed.

We have amongst us many girls and young ladies who consider themselves respectable.

Some one well remarked, too, as another indication of would-be equality, that the poorer classes nowadays have in most countries quite ceased to have a cheap and picturesque attire, and look merely as though they were wearing the shabby old clothes of the rich. If this be one of those proofs of what stump and platform c rotors call progress, we can only say that it is a progress very little to be desired. I have noticed that he who thinks every man a rogue is very certain to see one when he shaves himself, and lie ought in mercy to his neighbor, to surrender the rascal to justice.

The love of dress In this country has, since the war especially, assumed most alarmieg proportions, more especially In all large towns. Those who look at the matter superficially may think- "Oh, it is very harmless and doesn't much matter and if it doesn't much matter, perhaps this finery fever is of comparatively little consequence, but if it does—and there are yet many people who think it does, and whose opinion is entitled to some respect—it matters very much indeed, inasmuch as it is tending to beget immorality in the women of this country.

It is nothing less than the creation of a State park which shall embrace 834,000acres, or 1,300 square miles of land in the Adirondaeks, to be paid for and dedicated to park purposes forovcr. In comparison with this whai are any of the thousand acre parks of Europe or America, in our principal cities ? It will embrace a most picturesque and magnificent region in its natural beauty, but which from its elevation and other cause, is not adapted to human settlement and cultivation. It is an unbroken wilderpess in the most populous State of the Union. It is the abode oftho deer, the wolf, the bear, the panther and of other wfld animals that are elsewhere in this country beceming extinct.—Its cool and beautiful lakes and rivers are full of fish of the finest flavor, adapted to the taste of the epicure. The principal reason urged for the purchase of this land by the State for a park is the preservation of its timber. That is a consideration of infinite importance. The evil effects of cutting away the primeval forests in drying up streams and producing drought in summer, aecompanicd with terrific tornadoes, are well known. With the purchase of this immense tract of land, New York will own a park as large as the State of Delaware.

Prior to the first of April, it will be recollected, certain prominent railroad companies threatened to stop running postal cars over their roads unless the compensation was increased to an amount adequate, as the companies claimed, to the service performed ; Lut they agreed to continue in the hope that they might be able to get some indemnity out of Congress. It is estimated that the reduction in the bulk aud weight of mail matter resulting from the abolition of the franking privilege will be so great as to bring the amount down to or below that for which the railroads are now being paid and at which they are willing to continue to run the postal cars."-—Miners 1'ittston.
