There is a false noo-ssity with which we continually iurrninJ ourselves a re straint of conventional formj. Viuler thin bfluenct,mcn tnJ women thock thnirlest impulses, anJ suppress their highest thoughts. Each longs for a free commu location wiih other souls, but dares not give uueranre to his yearnings. What hindfrsf The fear of what Mr. Some body will wty ; or the frown of some pert ; or the anathema, of some synod, or the fash ton of Mino clique; or iho- laugh of some rhib; or the misrepresentation of some kj lUionl par.y. Thou art afraid of thy neigh bor, ami knowost not that be is equullf afraid of thee. He has bound thy hands, und thou lias fettered his feet. It were wiser for both to snap the imaginary band, and walk onward unshackled- What is there of joyful freedom in our social intercourse ? We wish to enjoy ourselves and take away all our freedom, while we destroy his own. If the host wishes to ride or walk, he dares not, leit it should seem impolite to the guests. So they remain slaves, aud feel it a relief to to part company. A few individuals, mostly in foreign lands, arrange this mat. tor vih wiser wisdom. If a visitor arrive, they say, I am very busy to day ; if you want to work, the men are raking hay in the field ; if you want to romp the children are at play in the court ; if you want to read to nut, I ran be with you at such an hour, (io where you please, and wliilo you are here, do ns you please. At some houses in Florence, large par ties met without the slightest preparation. It is understood that on some particular evening of the week, a Indy or gentle man always receive their friends. In one room are books and flowers ; in another, pictures and engravings ; in a third, mu sic. Couples are ensconced in some shad ed aclove.or groups dotted about the rooms, in mirthful or serious conversation. No man is required to peak to his host, eith er on entering or departing. Lemonade and baskets of fruit stand here and there, on the aide tables, that all may take who like ; but eating, which constitutes so great a part of American entertainment, is a light and almost unnoticed incident at these festivals of intellect and taste. Would thou like to ee social freedom in troduced here? Then do it. Hut the first step must be complete indifference to Mrs. Somebody's assertion that you are mean enough to offer only one kind of cake to your company, and put less short ening in the under-crust of your pie than in the upper. Let Mrs. Somebody talk according to her gifts, be . thou assured that all living souls love freedom belter than cakes or under-crust. Vr. L. ria Child. A Truthful fc Cheap Barometer. ' Take a clean glass bottle and put in it a small quantity of finely pulverized alum. Then fill up the bottle with spirits of wine. The alum will be perfectly dissolved by the alcohol, and in clear weather the liquid will be as transparent as the purest water. Un the approach of ram or cloudy weather the alumn will be visible in a flaky spiral cloud, in the center of the fluiu, reaching from the top to the surface. Thus a cheap, simple and beautiful bar ometer is placed within the reach of all who wish to possess one. For simplicity of construction, this is altogether superior to the frog barometer iu general use in Germany. k it Confused Idea of Names. Three wild mudlarks wero recently captured by a young divine, and brought into a Sunday School in New York.where they were severally questioned as follows: " What is your najne I" " Dan," replied .the untaught one who was first interrogated. Oh ! no, your name is Daniel j say it now. Daniel." Yea j well, take your seat." ' "And what is your name ?" was inter rogated of number two. " Sam," ej tculuted the urchin. " Oh ! dear no, it is Samuel ; sit down, Samuel And now let us hear what your name is, my bright littlo follow, said he turning to the third. . With a crin of self-satisfaction, and a shake of the head tlmt would have done honor to Lord B.irleigh, the young cate chumen boldly replied, "Jiinucl, your hoiiwr." - The True Ilasis of Reform. Reform ! This is the watchword of the restless a;e iu whii h we live. What was regarded iu by-srone fenerations, as the perfection of human wisdom, is now regarded by all men who think for them xelve, as the perfection of human folly. Custom can no longer, as a natural conse quence, expect implicit obedience to her imperious mandates. Rea.-oti begins to aerl her predominance, and couples a ri;;id scrutiny of all theories, orgauiza tons, institutions, and constitution, before they can meet the approval cf the popu lar conscience. lltliclous Mrs. A. is well known as on of those mulii'iiat Christinas, uh.i nj ll.i.ul ..m "thii they're pious vvheu they're ouly HUou., Mini wao furnish the hijrnest evi- dence of religion by perpetually recom- mending it to other peoj.le, as if ii were au article they wished to dispose of, to keep it from spoiling: Brown was asked if he rlidn't think she was "deeply pious."

We think we fan show how much cheaper it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars. We will take a late number of both. The Two Dollar Magazine contained 36 articles, the Lady's Book 62. The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en- grsvings, the Lady's Book 5n. The Two Dollar Magazine contained 61 pa ges, the Lady's Book 100. Twenty-four more engrsvings, twenty six more articles, and -thirty-six more pages, nearly double the jiantitv. The lowest club price of the Two Dollar Maeazine is $1,25; lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,67, only 42 cents difference in the price, which is three and a half cents on each number, and for that sum (three and a half cents), you receive twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more engravings, and thirty-six more pages month ly certainly a very cheap three and a half cents' worth. This view of the case has probably never before been presented, but it is a true statement, which any lady can con vince herself of by comparing the two maga zines. TERMS, CASH IN ADYANCE.
