TWE BLUAON -EXPOSITOR. , Living in Lodgings - In all our large cities and, towns in America an earnest effort is on foot to find cheaper and more convenient modes of living than those now in vogue. The granduer and magnificence of the thous- ands of costly dwellingsin line fash- ionable thoroughfares n New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Cin- cinnati are fully conceded. _ These man- sions are simply palaces, and if their oc- cupants have the incomes of royal per- ijousgee, there are probably no other palaces in the world which are so well , fitted out with modern conveniences, or ' • better worth the high rent demanded for thein. But how many persons in any of - the communities named have such in- comes, or, having them one year, can sure of an equal revenue the next? Few, indeed, is this number; while on the • other hand, there are hundreds of thousands of re- fined, educated, well-bred people in these large cities who long for pleasankorderly homes, where the machinery of life will revolve without disagreeable and unnec- essary shoks, and where a simple un - extravagant mode of • existence need not require the yearly income of undoubted wealth to keep it up. In the country and in small towns and cities the prob- lem is easier of solution. There, small houses at moderate rents ate attainable, and servants, if not more numerous or less headstrong, are not so imperatively required to carry on the busineas of the household, since, in an emergency, the place being small, the ladies of the house- hold can throw themselves into " the breach. A • The modes of living most used by Americans in their own country are three, namely, housekeeping in an entire house by themselves, living on separate flats or floors, and boarding: The first, which seems the most desirable plan, has become, in our large communities, well nighImpracticable save for the favored few of fortune. The large house rents demanded, the necessity for -a number of servants to keep the house in anything like order, the unreliability of the gen- erality of servants, their opportunities for thievery and waste (frequently taken advantage of)—in a word, the enormous expense of the plan has discouraged householders of every condition of for- tune, and sent the auction flag up in Fifth Avenue and Walnut street as well as in the poorer quarters. The • grand hotels receive every year a ,great acces- sion to their residents in the persons of wealthy families who have broken up housekeeping and gone to boarding in sheer self-defense; and that there are people who can afford to pay anywhere between $100 to $500 a week for board, and yet be living much leis expensively than they did when housekeeping, gives a fair idea of the enormous aurns absorb- ed in the effort to keep up a separate establishment of elegance. Less wealthy persons go into flats, or crowd thecheap and unpleasant boarding houses so nu- merous in all or great cities. It 'seems strange that these anxious movements toward comfort, privacy and cheapness should not have brought into trial that time-honored, historic usage of our British forefathers and., eontempo- raries—the English lodging -house. The system has been unmercifully satirized by various great English novelists, and Mrs. 13ardel1, with hersuit for breach of promise against her astonished and unof- fending first floor front, Mr. Pickwick, has certainly attained a world-wide fame' for London lodging -letters in general, past, present and to come; nevertheless, lodgings of all degrees of elegance and poverty are still let daily and hourly not only in London, but all through the British Isles. All English lady of title, coining up to London to spend a week or two claring the season, would shrink from the idea of going to s hotel, She drives from the railway station to lodg- ings which have been taken for her be- forehand by her man of business or some friend, and so far as privacy is cencern- ed, she has it almost as completely as if she were down in her own home in the country. Families of every station in life live when in London in lodgings suit- ed to their income. Even ycung unmar- ried men rarely board at hotels, as they do so generally in America, but prefer to getintolodgings, and have something like honae life and comforts about thena. A system which has -lived, so long as this one has, and which sofar from 3how- ing signs of- extinction in these days of grand hotels (which, first started. in America, have now sprung up in Europe also), is, on the contrary, growing more and more extended, must have solid ad- vantages to recommend it. Let us see- whot they are. In the first place, the matter of cheap- ness in rent. It is obvious that you can hire some rooms in a house for less than you would pay for the whole house; and if the rooms can be so arranged as to be sufficient for your needs, why should you be harnessed with the rent of those rooms of the house which are super- fluous? Let us take the case of a family consisting of man, wife and child, or •a couple of children, who are on the look- out for a place of residence. All the room they require in lodgings is a parlor and two bed -rooms. Their meals will be served in their parlor, that being quite the "correct thing" in this way of life. No one in lodgings, even the richest,con- siders it necessary to hire an extra room just to go into three times a day to eat meals there. Our tanaily, when looking for lodgings, need give themselves no concern about the servants' room nor the kitchen. The landlady attends to the cooking in the general kitchen of the house, and lodgers have no bother about that, nor about the management, care, feeding, or payment of servants. About food. This the lady (or gentle- man) hiring the lodgings goes out and, buys at the. shops and, markets exactly the same as if the family were living quite alone in the house—or "keeping house," to use the familiar phrase. A large sideboard is an invariable adjunct to the furniture of every lodger's parlor, and here are kept all articles which do not iranera,tively demand the cool atmos- phere of the pantries below stairs. Herein, after each meal, the servant, when clearing off the table,places the loaf of bread, the sugar, the teaacanister, the salt -cellar and such things. The caster and wine decanters stand in full view of callers, on the top of the sideboard, and no one is astonished or aShamed. The dining table is covered with a hand ome cloth between meal times! and all the books and knicknacks are' scrupulously set back on it by the male pr female ser- vant who waits on you. if. course such food as meats, fowls, vegetables, and milk and butter must go below; and this necessity gives rise t the one great objection of the lodging -la use plan. For it is amazing how, little Iby little, a cold round of beef or a tru ed turkey will 3 sadly evaporate, Mout half so much aid from yourself you would be quite willing to give, in an English lodging house. Thennd rstanding, of course, is that your food is not to be touched by any one but your elf, under any -circum- stances whateve and that such is ,the case every lodgi g -house keeper stoutly claim. nd it is useless to m ke much fuss about it, though it is alw ys *ell to mention our suspicion, and cu-. tion the landlady thakif she is not mor strictly observe t of the cat, does not try to stem the t rrent of the depre4a.tions of the mice you will .leave l4er forthwith. his will certainly refo rn her—for a t me, t least. For mys lf, when in English lodging -houses I lo k upon these little ilferinga with a forg v- ing spirit. pup ose the chasm in t4he ham is the Wider y the space of a slice or two since it went down, would I, grud e the gift of this m ch food to either lan lady or servants if they told me they were hungry ,and onged for it? d- ly not. To be su e, we are generally so selfish that we e to get thanks in e- turn,for gendrosi y ; but that is a se f - seeking spirit, in antagonism with Scr p- tural teachings. For a certain weekly sum, then, y u are entitled in a 1 dging house to the x - elusive use of cei ain rooms, to •the s r• vices of cook, c amber -maid, and wa t- ress, and to fire nd lights.

In fact to quote the words which a Philadelp lady, now residi g in London, used o me recently, "Y u have all the pleasu s of housekeeping vithout any of its dra backs."

The late Earl of Eglinton was very fond of the game. Hugh Conn, of Kilwinning, a Most ex- cellent player, was his lordshiP's right handiman on the ice. When the two skips leave the tee, after having directed their, respective players, it becomesthe duty of the -third players in tl't usual ir rink if four on each side, to supe intend. Conn was one day directing the Earl of Eglinton how to play the last stone, on the 8 ecess of which a great deal depend- ed. " D'ye see this stone, m lord ?" "1 e n see a part of it, Conn." "Well, my 1 rd, ye maun tak' itawa'. 0! my lord, &Dna miss." "-Well, C nn, I'll do my best."

Smile of the Scottish clergy have as great a love as any of the laity an pris- sibly have for this best of all ut-door games. A parish minister wendiing his way to the curling pond One orning, gave 'rise to some lively con rsation amongst a few farm servants wh had ob- served him passing. One said, ' I don't think it is proper and bec?min' f r a mm- ister to be gaun to the ice every day .It wad. lac liker him if he were ma in', ser- mon& or visitin' the folk." - npther taking out his snuff -mull and re refring himself with a good spoonful o the stimiilating powder, which see ed - to brighten his intellect and w ril his heart, remarked, " Weel, lads,. hink the nainister is quite richt to tit' 13very chance he can get o' hurliu' the 4hnnel stane.

Glory is a very fine thing. I a‘n only a pekin, a eivillian, and I know nothing about glory; but I confess that my blood runs cold and my heart sickens when I hear politicians pertly pratin about the "arbitrament of the sword,' and ' war clearing the atmosphere," and so orth. I never met glory yet, and I don't now what he or she is like; but I hay met _i war face to face half a dozen timeslin as many countries. I have looked in the whites—or rather the crimsons f his eyes, and I have gazed upon the s'sters who follow him wherever he goes., They are - three sisters, and , their Denies are rapine, and disease,- and death. This is, of course, a miserably craven and spirit. less way of looking at war. I cannot help it. I have only seen war's Madness and wickedness, its foulness and squalor. To me it has represented nothing but rob- bery and profligacy, but famine and slaughter; and I cannot but think that if the yvarlike politicians were to vvitness just half an hour of aetual warfae as I have witnessed it in America, in, Italy, in Mexico, in France, in Spain? their martial ardor would cool down a : little, and they would not be quite so prom t to blow the bellicose trumpet. ..-- Sala. • . • An Anecdote about Abraham Lincoln. 1 • When Abraham Lincoln was a poor 1 lawyer, he found himself one cold day at a village some distance from Springfield, 1 and with no means of conveyance. See -1 ing a gentleman drive along the Spring- field road in a carriage, he ran up to him and politely said: I "Sir, will you have, the goodneits to take my overcoat to toivn for ?" •I " With pleasure," answered the gentle- man, " but how will you get it again ?" "Oh, very easy," said Mr. Lincoln, "as I intend to remain in it!" "Jump in," said the gentleman, laugh- ing ; and the future President ' hada pleasant ride. A Grammatical Pile. A schoolmaster after flogging one of his scholars for speaking bad grammar sent him to the other end of the room to inform another boy, that he wiehed to speak to him,at the same time promising to flog him again if he spoke ungrammat- ically. The youngster, quite determined to be exact, thus addressed his fellow pu- pil : "There is a eommon substantive, of the masculine gender, nominative, case, and in an angry mood that sits perched upon the eminence at the other side of the room, wishing to articulatea few sentences to you in the present tense."

In the first place, we have always been averse to soliciting encomi- ums frenc—mnsioal artists, and publishing the same in our Circular& for the very reason that all such testimony and praises are directIn or inq- redly, paid nor; and if any one will take the trouble to -examine the different circulars of or piano -houses, they willfind the same name (ate tiet) bearing equally as good testimony in favor of each piano -maker's production.
