My furniture, to be :sure, was is little out of flishion, and here and there a little out at the elbows; but I always persuaded'my self that it Was respectable to be out of fashi r on,, and that new things smacked of new men ; and were,-therefore, rather vul,' gar. Under this impression, I lived in my,olif house, with my old-fashioned fur= nature, moderate sized family, and moder ate means,' envying no body and indebted to no one in the world. Thad neither gikdedfurniture; nor grandmantle-glasses, nor superb chandeliers; but then had a few fine pictures and- bust, and flattered myself they -were much more genteel than gilded furniture, grand mantle glasses, and superb chandeliers. In truth, 'I looked down with contempt not only on these, but on all those who did not agree with.me in opinion. I never asked . 4. person to dinner a second time who did not admire my busts and pictures, con sidering, him a 'Vulgar genius and an ad mirer of gilded trumpery, But let- no man presume, after reading' my' story, to flatter himself he is out of the reach of the iufeetion of fashion and' flish ,ionable opinions. - He may hold out for a certain-time,. perhaps, but• human nature cannot stan-- forever _on the defensive. The example of - all • around us is Irtesista ble, sooner or later. The first shock given to my-attatlunent to respectable, old fashioned furniture and a respectable old fodr-square - 41110 house,: was received frOm the elbow of a modern-worthy, -who Ihad grown rich; nobody-. knew hew, by presiding over the drawing' of lotteries, and who came-and built himself a narrow. four-story .house right at the side of my hohest four-square - double , mansion. It had white marble steps, with marble.; door and-window-sills, folding doors and I marble mantleTieces,'and was sus fine-as a fiddle,. in doors and out. It -put my - rusty old mansion - quite out of counte- I •nance, ,as everybody told me, though I assure my iedders Fthought it excessively tawdry and in bad taste. • But, alas !—such is the stupidity ofman .kind7---Icould get nobody to : agree with Me. S. «.T "What has come ove?.your house late ly?" tried one good-nattired visitor; some how or other it don't look as it used to do." • "What makes your house look so rusty and old-fashioned?" said another good natured visitor. • "."Nrr.

Hereupon: the.. spirit -moved me - to go Out and reconnoiter the venerable man= sion. • It certainly did look a little like a chubby, rusty old-fashioned Quaker by the side of a first-rate dandy. I picked a quarrel with, it outright, which, by the way was a.- very unlucky quarrel. -I was not rich enough to pull it down and build another one; and it is great - folly to quar rel with an old house-until you-can get a better. But if I can't 'build, I can paint, thought I; and put at least as good a face on the matter as this opulent lottery man,' my next - door neighbor. Accordingly - I consulted my wife - on the:subject, whether from a spirit - of contradiction, or, 'lo do her justice, I believp from a cor rect and rational view of the subject„..dis coinaged my, project. I was only the more I determined. So I caused my - honest old house to. be painted a bright cream color, that it might hold np its head, against the scurvy-lottery man. • • Bless me!" quoth Mrs. Sinith ;-" what is the matter with this room ?
