SIR Jo.bun Re,noId'. DIn.,r.

They were the hrst great example that
had been given in this country of a cordial
intercourse between persons Of distinguished
Pretensions of ell kinds: poets, physicians,
lawyers, deans, historians, actors, temporal
and spiritual peers, House of Commons

meeting on a ground of hearty ease, good

prepared for seven or eight, required to ac-
commodate itself to fifteen or sixteen; for Of
ten, on the very eve of dinner, would Sir
Joshua tempt afternoon visitors with init
nation that johnson, or Ganick, or Gold
smith was to dine there. Nor was the want
of seats the only difficulty. A want of
knives and forks, of plates and glasses, as
often succeeded. In something of the same
style, too, was the attendance. The kitch-
EN- had to keep pace with the visitors: and it
was easy to know the guests best acquainted
with the house, by their never failing to call
instantly for beer, bread or wine, that thew
might get them before the first course was
over and the worst confusion began. Once
was Sir Joshua prevailed upon to furnish
his table with dinner glasses and decanters
and some saving Of time they proved; vet
as they were demolished in the course of
service, he could never be persuaded to re.
place them. "But these trifing embarrass-

them to Sir James Macintosh, "only served

ded: those social hours, that irregular con-
vlvlsl talk, had matter OF higher relish. and
far more eagerly enjoyed. And amid all
the animated hustle Of his guests, the host
sat perfectly composed; al ways attentive to
what was said, never minding what was eat
or drank, and leaving every one at perfect
liberty to scramble for himself. Though so
severe deafness had resulted from cold
caught on the Continent in early life. as to
compel the use Of a trumpet, Reynolds pro.

Cruelty 20 Animals.

Cruelty to animals is one Of the distin-
gushing vices of the lowest and basest of the
people. Wherever it is found it is a certain
mark OF ignorance and meamesS an in
trinsdc mark which all the external advan-
tages of wealth, splendor, and nobility can
not obliterate. 1t will consist neither with
true learning nor true civility; and religion
disclaims and detests it as an insult upon
the majesty and goodness of God, who, hav-
ing made the instinct Of brute beasts minis

Before reaching the place appointed for
our .biyouac, we came 10 a grove OF palms, |
so beautiful that determined to make il our
breakfast station. The dates were almost |
ripe, and hung from the trees in rich abun-
dance. A pleasant village lay not far of, |
whence several Of the inhabitants, OF both
sexes, had strolled out, and sat down to
contemplate US at their leisure.
The Incidence OF these people is indeed
really marvellous. offered them what
was for the service a considerable sum
to carry can Of milk and one of water a
short distance to the tents, but not one Of
them could make up his mind TO do it. Each
lifted the articles, which were far from heavy,
TO Try them, but laughed, shook his head,
and put them down again, referring me to
his neighbor, who did Just the same. After
had been carrying on this fruitless negolia-
ton for some time the Kavess approached,
and in grave and dignifed manner, With
out saying word, gave one Of the young
men hearty whack across the shoulders,
and on the instant, as if this argument had
made him see the matter in quite a new
light, he took up the two cans without CIV
ing the smallest sign of displeasure, and
trotted after US in the most brisk and good
humored manner possible. The
former Governor Of Khene often dined with
me, and was anythingsbut ayerse to cham

ced TO taste drop Of this forbidden bever-
age. ] supposed, Of course, that his absti-
nence arose from religious scruple, but he
laughingly disclaimed this Interpretation ol

my life induced me to make vow never to
permit myself again the indulgence Of wine,
or any other intoxicating drink" Feeling
rather curious concerning the nature Of this
tragic occurrence, | ventured to ask il
might be permitted to inquire what this mel
ancholy event was. The answer was char
acteristic. "Fomerly," said he, al drank
wine freely enough, and, one evening,
came home completely drunk; they carried
me into the harem, and there violent dis
pute arose among the women as to who
should take care of me. woke up at the
noise, and, not knowing what | did, drew
my sabre and began to lay about me among
the women. They ran away screaming, anc
after them, till down tumbled, and there
lay till morning. When came to my
SELF however, | found that had given my
lavorite slave, who had cost me twenty thou
Isand piastres, cut across the throat, o
which she had died. The affair soon be
came known, and, though the Academia
death of slave is, Of course, no very i'm
Inor'aEt matter, yet was so ashamed Of my

MY FIRST PARLoR.


Never shall forget with what sensation:
Of delight walked through the pretty little
cottage, forty years ago, which | was soon
10 call my own.
The old homestead, where | had frolick.
ed in gIeesoms childhood, with its venerable
mantle Of moss, and its antique form, was
but little distance away, and could look
from the chamber window OF the cottage
into the tidy farm yard, and hear the plain
tive lowing Of dear old Brndle, my pet
COW. True, | could not see the sweet face
Of my mother, nor the sterner counlenance
Of my father, at every hour OF the day yet it
was but BIT across, and a few moments
walk would carry me there.
With all its home associations, there was
nothing in it half 50 pretty as in my little
world Of a cottage.
The exterior, too, was very beautiful in
my eyes; first there was a neat little rail
fence all around ii, long path, lined with
rose bushes. leading to it, sweet garden
spot, and behind it meadow, fresh and ex.
tensive.
The cottage itself was painted with the
purest white, and the blinds the greenest
green.
knew nothing Of its interior previous to
the week in which We were married, and
dear William (not a whit the less dear
now intended to surprise me; so when
entered to inspect the white-washed walls
and polished floors, 10 and behold, it was
furnished throughout. A pretty little yam
kee clock, all gilded, and shining in the
sunlight, greeted my vision first. Ii stood
Just opposite the fire place, and over a
brightly vanished oaken table. Clean,
new yellow chairs around the sides OF the
room, little cupboard near the shining
hearth, and a pair of tidy andirons, with
their little black dog-faees looking straight
at US, made me laugh outright with pleas

And this, be it remembered, kind reader,
was our best, very best room; was il not a
beauty in my eye, and was there ever hap

The kitchen, although with less costly
materials, was furnished nearly the same.
except in one corner was an array of bur.
nished pans, kettles, pals. and so forth.

all things essential to good house-keeper's
