Si7iiplicil_i/ of Dri'sr——Feiiiale lovliness
never appi-arsi to so good an adva-ri-tage as
wlii.-n set off with siiiiplicitv of dress. No
artist ever decks his angel with tower-in-g
featliers and gatiily jewelry; and our dear
human angels,-if they would inalcegood their
title to that name, should carefully avoid
ornaments, which properly lnloiig to lndian
squaws and African princesses. These tin-
sclries may scrve to give effect on the stage
or on the bill-room floor, but in daily life
there is no substitute for the charm of sim-
pl.city. A vu.t_zar' taste is not to be dis
guise-d by gold diiinionds. The absence of
a true taste and rt-finenieig or delicacy, cati-
iiot be compensated by the pos.<essi- not‘ the
most princely fortune. Mind measures
gold, but. gold cannot measure inind.——
Tlirough dress the mind may be read, as
through the delicate tissue of the lettered
page. A modest woman will dress modest-
ly. A really refined and intellectiial wo-
man will bear the marks of careful selection
and taste.

The Presidenfili a Ltmatic Asylum-P
A most affecting scene was witiiessed at
the Lunatic Asylum at Utica On entr-ritig
the Chapel where sortie two hundred of
these urifortti-nati-s were qii-ietly seated, the
oyersecr iiitr,o.lucetl the Presitlcnt of the
United ~Statc.=, when all rose, rcspecfully
liowr-d, and resumed their seats Each
member of the party was ‘then introduced
by name. -when the satire ccrcinony was
profoundly repeated. Mr. Malby, a wist-
Luna-tie, t«hen"a rose and -we-l_coni7etl_ the Pres-
ident in- a strain of graceful and touching
eloquence that drew tears into every eye.
He is tall, th-in-, pale man, with penetrating
eyes, and a fine voice,-and gestures belong-
log to the polite oratory of “g--ntli-men of
the old school.” The" President’.-I reply was
also very happy anil affecting. So orderly
and so well behaved a company surely has
not greeted llllllslfl all his travels. in one
of the female wards the whole party was
individually introduced to an elegaintly dres-
sed, and most ziccotnplislied lady, the dough-
ter of one of the niostdistiiiguisliml lawyi‘-rs
New York has ever produced. She had the
right word ready for every one who addrr s-
sed her, and piwsenteil tl-.e President with a
sweet bouqni,-t of her arranging, in the most
tasteful and graceful manner. We saw the
same “ act of presentation” performed a bun-
dred times, but in no instance with such ex
quisite simplicity and grace, as marked the
offering of this accomplished lady. She is
about forty years of age; and in mention-
ing the names of some of the distinguished
men she li_atl entertained at her fatlier’s house
added, “ but for the last sevi-n years l have
becn—very much otitof the world.”
There was a girl in the Asylum, who
also attracted much nttcntioti by her beauty of
person and elegance ofdress. She did not ap-
pear to be ovi-r scventecn years of age, and
there was not the slightest indication of luna-
cy, or even of “irregularity” about her. She
stood in the door of her room which was
adorned with flowers, grace-fully acknowl-
edging the bows of the vi."-itors, though no
one presumed to speak to her. She wore a
beautiful wreath of peach and cheiry blos-
somsin her dark hair; the only ornaini~nts
appropriate to her rare and touching beauty.
