Norfolk has one e Cif the finest habors in

trade between this port and Europe. If
thri enterprise proves successful; it will
make this quite an important place; which
it' would hing since have been, had the in
habitants 'possessed a sprinkling of ran:
IMe.or northern energy.
One. vessel has been here, the "Lone

go, which, was dispcised .of at auction,'
bringing satisfactory* prices, I believe.
She returned laden with cotton, and will
probably be heie again next month.

habitants=probably'one-third black. The
city contains ten Churches, two first-cliss
Hotels, h female Collegiate Instittite„ sev

finest,Opera House south of Baltimore.
The National and Atlantic Hotels are
as fine, well-kept houses - as one would wish.
to stop at. W. L. Walters, formerly pro
prietor of the National, was buried last
Sabbath. He .had never been well 'si nce
the time of the fever. It IS' as the only

wishes, moderate' means, a moderate fami

extellt my house, which
,is too largo for
my means, or my family. It is,. hOwever,
• or rather, alas! it was; ao old familytnan-

like the idea of cmrerting it
-into tivern
rot I*Ming=ii . duse, -as is faiddon with
the young heirs ofthe present day. -Such
as it was, however;-although I sometimes
- felt a little like the ambitious snail, who
once crept. into a lobster's shell and came
!Iglu-perishing:in a hard winter, I.man
:wed for ten or tivelVe years - very com
e,
•fortably and to'make both ends Meet. 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. Blintkiirite has taken Abe shine
off of you;" said:Mrs. Sowerby ;`" LIB HAS

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 ? It don't
