FORMAL INVITATIONS OR TAKING THEM AT THEIR
WoRD The too frequent habit of extending mere
formal invitations is justly rebuked in the following
story of Viver the artist, which we find among the
larisian gossip of an exchange.
Vivier, the celebrated and witty artist, passed
recently some time in Paris on his return from his
summer travels. He had hardly arrived when he
was invited to dine with Monsieur --, the
musical amateur and rich capitalist. After the re-
past, the and mistress of the house said to
their agreeable guest,
I'VE hope shall have you often to dine with
us; your plate shall be always ready"
"Always!' said Viver-"that is the fashionable
sense of the word
by no means We are not persons of such hol-
low politeness. You know how much we love art
ists and you in particular. Our home is yours
Come and dine with us whenever you please. We
should be glad if it were every day"
"ln earnest 2"
"Certainly; we should be delighted"
"Ah well, since then you are cordial, prom
ise you | will do my best to be agreeable"
I've shall depend upon seeing you"
The next day at six o'clock, Vivier presented
himself
You see" said he, that | have taken your nvi-
tation literally | have come to dine
.'Ah it is very kind of you it is very charm
ing" said his host, to whom his arrival appeared
very pa9uam and quite original
l he dinner was very gay. and the artist on tax
ing leave. received many compliments.
he next day, as they were about to sit down to
the table, Vivier again appeared
Here | am, exact, punctual, and faithful to my
promise"
But it is singular" he continued, fixing pen
etratng and quizzing look upon the faces Of his
hosts--"it is Singuar,-you appear surprised Did
you not expect me !"
''Oh, certainly. you give much pleasure" the
Amphtryon replied with forced smile.
80 much the better"
Vivier sat down. was in his happiest vein, played
the agreeable to all the family, and seemed quite
unconcious that he had all the burthen of the en-
tanning, and that except few monosvlahles, the
conversation was reduced to a mere monologue
On the fourth day at six o'clock precisely the OBJ
sinate guest once more presented himself This
time coldness and constraint very perceptible
and Vivier spoke of it,
The mistress Of the house replied sifly, 'it lis
only because we feared you would not fare we'll
we have poor dinner to-day
81 thought you expected me-but it is of no con-
sequence | am not difficult wish only the plea
sure of your society"
He seated himself with perfect composure. ate
heartily. and then turning to Madame with CON-
plimentary air he said:
What could you mean? This dinner is quite as
good the others. Excellent fare-upon my word
should desire nothing better
The next day-it was the ffth-Vivier arrived
as usual. The porter met him at the door-"Mon-

Mrs. PARTINGToN ON PRoPRIETY. "What a
study for sculpin !" said Mrs. Partington on
board the Chelsea ferry boat, as she saw row of
nude boys standing on raft near the ferry await
ing the moment to take a plunge. Their clear Gu
tcle cleaning in the sun, and muscular beauty
and youthful grace were revealed in every line
What a study for a sculpn and how love to
see the little dears so enjoying themselves" "Lit-
tie deers ~ said old Roger, touching the Brahmin,
Il should say they were little bearsn The Brah-
min, who familiar with such scenes on the
banks Of the Ganges, said not word. How
shockingly improper" said Miss Prim, turning
away her eyes, don't you think it very improper,
Mrs Partington l' Mrs p looked again. ''Well,'
said she. Il didn't that it was, till you spoke of
it; perhaps it s but may be the poor child is Grip

water before folks" persisted Miss frim. oh,
that is quite another thing said Mrs p smiling
"and depends upon how we look upon it. If the

why We should have, If our own minds are pure
we would see no impurty. This is queer world.

SNORING. An anecdote was well told, some years
ago, OF polite Southerner, an accomplished and
kindhearted gentleman.
On one occasion. he had been driving hard from
morning till night the rough roads in the
neighborhood of Columbia, S c. and alighted at
the only comfortable looking tavern in the place,
very hungly and very tired. Strokng his eye-gass
to his eye-.his constant companion, he being very
near sighted he demanded roast fowl, some good
wine and a comfortable room for the night
The landlord was exceedingly sorry" but he
couldn't give him a comfortable room the only
place he could have to sleep in was double-bed.
ded room with another gentleman ="
very well. sir; let us have the best you've got
No man do more than that"
After discussing his supper, he sought his room,
turned IN. and went to sleep. His sumbers were
destined to be of very short duration. Before long
he was awakened by call from the other bed

1t was not long. however, before a rumblng sound
was heard from the polite gentlemans bed every
moment growing louder until at last it ended in
thunderous dapason. The other lodger. driven
almost to madness. started up and exclaimed
"Good gracious! This is too much! | can't

"pless my soul we'll what's the matter now ?"
cried out the offender starting up in bed you

"Restless believe you,7 said the disturbed
gentleman; you've been snoring, sir worse than

You don say so! Have I been repeating my
rudeness to a stranger? | am really extremely
sorry my dear sir but was really asleep. Good
