each dwelt on an island, and hailed his neighbor each morning in good chest tones, to tell him the news. It is the farthest possible from the style of a poet or an artist, but it is the style of that ideal man for whom Huxley longs, whose intellect is a clear, cold logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength and in smooth working order, ready, like a steam-engine, to be turned to all kinds of work. In Huxley himself this type of writing is seen at the greatest advantage; Froude and Seeley have much the same; and books like the Essays on a liberal education, put together by a dozen different Oxford and Cambridge men, exhibit but one style,--a style that goes straight to the mark and will stand no nonsense. It is all very well, so far, and this is doubtless better than carving the bow till it breaks, as in Aesop's fable; but is there not room in the world for both science and art, use and beauty?

The ladies at work. --The ladies of the several Baptist churches in this city, with that patriotism which has ever characterized them, have offered their services in supplying the soldiers with their uniforms. The basements of Dr. Burrow's, Dr. Jeter's, and Dr. Seeley's churches, were on yesterday converted into regular tailoring establishments, and some hundred or more suits turned out. Captains of companies, or men, leaving their orders at either of those places, will find there a tailor, with shears and measuring line, and dozens of ladies, glad to have an opportunity of fitting them out, of course, free of cost.--Call and leave your measures.
