Strange has been the fa , te of subjects supposed peculiarly to try the quality of decency in the human character . The quality itself is eternal . The condition must be low indeed in which there is not some sense of decency *—^ in which the happiness of the individual does not render ip necessajy' # > r him to regulate his behaviour , so as to procure the respect a » d affection of those immediately around him . Decency means , behaviour which is becoming in cases where the test of becoming conduct is peculiarly delicate and at the same-time peculiarly peremptory . The subject-matter may viuy ; though upon the whole it will be found , we suspect , that the essence , th « . kernel is nearly always constant . .. .
at ^^ t e ^^^ tssfeSf fact j and the fact being so , the managers of the Crystal Pa&ce we LS are right in conforming to the wish . ' " We must take facto as we find them .. Bishops , anointed representatives of morals aa they exist in England , cannot feel happy without % &e iwual leaf , and , of course , the leaf inust be conceded . On that conclusion we ifid not hesitate for an instant ; but what does it imply ? It implies thatthe most educated and . best trained representatives of English society cannot be in ^ presence of the , human form divine , cannot vievr it in its entire symmetry without thoughtsr wandering : into reprehensible paths , mthout thinking shame , without violating the true purity of nature . Bishopsand other
, moral English people ; need & protection from nature ,, or they are made , if not wicked , at least uncomfortable . That is a strange fact in the anatomy of English morals 1 ; ; ;;;; ' ¦ ' It might suggest to ua , that our excessive refinement , our luxury , our exile fromnatural ex-ercises , Ofur ajienatipn from $$ natural . cj&idffifpijiS ^ Jiave begotten morbid aberrations of mind , td which ; Bosnops ai ^ p « culiacly prone or , peculiarly sensitive . It suggests doubt -whether decency has hot turned back upon itself , and ^ meW l ^ ;^^ d ^ which appears to give unity and vitality to the fluctuating ' law of decency , is a strong sympathy with the bealthyr ^ s jbf li ^~^ ife ^ pj ^^ % n ^ B | p | pi from anything which tends toj violate health ; - ' A . perjFeeiuttT > ureandi&Mdray

The law wmch is popularly given for carrying out this master truth , is often very rude , and differs with every clime and lame . In . our own country certain , rules of costume are considered essential to decency , whereas in Eastern countries , where the feeling is not less strong , and is substantially the same , our rule may be said to be almost inverted . In th « West we should call a man indecent who entered the room -without bis sioes , while in tie East , a polite man leaves his shoes behind him at the door . With us , Bishops and certain anxious persons ' have been threatening the Crystal Palace onaj > oint ^ of tie kind ; yet these Bishops do . not scruple 1 o let their wives be se ^ ii in ^ public without a veil , . over tneir . ^ ac ^ st \\ 'Vife'kinLpwr . ih ' atai
. Turkish Ambassador in this country has actually laltished ati wfeat he has seen on a drawing-room day . Nay , the rule may vary in the sam-e country j and there are those amongst the middle class who would scruple to exercise that generous exhibition of- " the nude" which is toleiated only at evening parties in " good society . " "We _ ought , however , always to do at Rome as Romans do ; for trne courtesy consists in letting your behaviour , so far as conscience permits , conform itself to the feelings of those around you , so tfcat their conventional
or habitual sense of propriety shall not be ruffled . So strong is the sympathy between man and man , that however ire may regard others as freed from restraints that biads us , yet we must be very travelled indeed to see a companion do that which we think wrong , and not to feel something like a shadow of gniilt or shame come over ourselves for witnessing that which we should blush to do . Hence we do not regard the . cjontrpyersy which has been carried : on respecting the statues of tie Crystal Palace with the same obstinacy of . artistic conservatism that some of our contempoxaties have exhibited . / - ,
We have no irresistible objection to " the , usual leaf . " The subject , indeed , is not _ theor « tiQal but practical ; and the right conclusion of the managers of the Crystal Palace most turn upon a matter of fact . " There may be yaud objections to the expedient . It is to a certain extent a violation of artistic unity ; but , i p so trifling a degree that jt scarcely matters ; since a truly skilful artist will be enabled to consult the requirements of proportion and fitness sufficiently to obviate any serious violation of artistic harmonv .
J . he obligation only entails upon aim the necessity of introducing a spice of the grotesque into regular art . A more serious objection turns upon the very point of moral feeling . The object of the bishops and their coadjutors is to avoid certain inconvenient observations , especially , w « conceive , amongst the young . But the peculiar conventional expedient now urged upon the Crystal Palace managers , does tend at times to create in the mind of * curious youth questions on points of botany and grafting , which are perhaps not less inconvenient to be discussed or evaded than the question
