Expediting One of i lie seri< us uiiatskeH iiial ... men tuaku lu the conduct o( t Ii?*I i affairs m that of projecting their scale of living too urn biliously ; and so, for the sake of keeping up to false standard iu the exterior manner of th'.-lr living, they ar? constrained to deny themselves many of the little comforts and luxuries that add bo greatly to the enjoyment of the pausing day. For instance, it is far more sensible to abide in a hhiuII and unfasljionabh house which it is uo burden to maintain than to move to u more sumptuous, dwelling, the support of which will struin ont'n resources. If 1 arn too poor to h?vo in u fine houee a few good pictures and the best book*, and a blazing hard wood fire for good cheer as well as for heat, I ahull consult the part of wisdom and happiness by living iu a cottage with freedom to enjoy these mod' st luxuries. The l rouble is that we are all strongly tempted to conform our ways of living to the artificial standards of passing fashion. Instead of spending out mon"y for the things we want and would enjoy, we let the opinions of others dictate to uh, with tl|c result that wo do not get half the delight out of our days that we would haw if we persisted in having our own way. ?
