Make Your Company Comfortable.

"Well, what is the best way to do so!'
Not to turn the usual course of things
upside down, and shake the pillars Of your
domestic economy, till they are ready to
fall about your ears, all because you have
company.
Not to insist upon it, that your visitors
must eat some of all the innumerable
kinds of nice things provided expressly
for them; nor make it point Of con-
science that they shall never for mo-
ment be left alone. Not to push all work
out of sight and reach, for fear il will not
be thought showing proper attention to
your frieads 70 have your hands employ
ed in their presence.
Not to torture your brain, striving to
think Of subjects of conversation, when
there is nothing particular nor interesting
that either you or your friends wish to
say.
So much for negatives-a few of them
for they might well be multiplied indef-
nitely. To make visitor feel at ease in
your house, be easy and natural in all you
do or say. Make no unusual efforts Of
any kind, for the surest way to make your
friend wish himself at home, is to let him
feel that you are putting yourself out''
for his sake.
Give him freely and cordially the liber.
ty of your house. Assure him of your
wish that he should, while with you, con-
slider himself as one of the family, and
that you expect him to eat, sleep, talk, OF
keep silence, go out, or come in, read
write, mingle with the family circle, OF
retire to his chamber, exactly as he would
do were the house his own, and "you
make your company comfortable"
To be tornented by peoples politeness
is almost as bad as to be vexed by their
incivility. True politeness has very deli
cate and sensitive perceptions, and viii
never be offcious nor overdone.
Said one gentleman 10 another, whom
he had invited to pass the time of his So
journ in strange city in his house
"Come, make my house your home-gc
out and come in as suits your convenience
cannot have the pleasure of devoting
much time to you, but my house is hearth
ly at your service, whenever you find the
time to 90 to it. What leisure have,
shall be pleased to spend with you-bui
whether you see much of me or not, pray
make yourself comfortable and at home
in my house, and you will crafty me. %"
That was real, gospel poitenesS, such q:
makes visitors comfortable.

Alfalfa or ChIIlaI Glover.

Our attention has been called 70 an ar.
ticIe in the Patent Office Report, for
1854, on the subject of Gillian Clover
or Alfalfa. The writer Of the article,
gentleman in Pennsylvania, had, it ap-
pears, received a paper of Alfalfa seed
from the Patent Office. This. was sown,
and grew, and produced IN such a satis-
factory manner, that he imported con.
siderable quantity, for his own use, direet4
ly from Chill. Shoald any of the F4r5stf
readers have received the same article
from the Patent Office, and formed high
opinion of its merits, we shall perhaps do
them kindness, if we will tell them
where, and how the article may be obs
tanned, in any quantity, and save them the
trouble and expense of importing II from
South America.
The Alfalfa Is not new article, but
the JNedicdg0 Satiua, or Lucerne Of Franz
ce, known In Englandds Purple Msdick
grass, though often called by its French
name, Lucerne. In Spain it is called
Alfalfa. There are several varieties Of
Lucerne, but the Alfalfa, or Chilian Clo4
veT, is the common French and English
variety, bearing the same purple flowers.
This Alfalfa or rather Lucerne is one
Of the best Of forage crops. If grown ON
deep, warm, rich soil, It viii bear now
ing FIVE or six times year, and furnish.
at each cutting, an amount equal to a good
crop of red clover, and it is better relish
ed by all kinds of stock. It is perfectly
hardy, bearing equally well the frosts Of
winter or the heat and drouth Of summer;
the roots penetrate too deeply to be afeea
ted by mere surface changes. The Lu.
cerne may be sown in May, either broad
cast, or IN drills, and if the soil is clean
and good, and deeply titled, the crop Will
be fit to cut fer hay, or green feed, ii
June, and every three OF four weeks af4
terwards, through the summer ind fall.
! The plant IS perennial, and Will steadily
improve for number of years, especiaIIl
if supplied with plaster, which is the ma.
nure It most needs, in common with olhel
cloyers. From ten TO fifteen pounds o
seeds are necessary to sow an acre. I
may be obtained of Stair s. Son, Of thi
city. The price is Usually about thfrt
cents per pound, or perhaps less by tn
quantity Ohio Farmer.

Female Delicacy.

Above all features which adorns the
female character, delicaCy stands foremost
within the provinces of good taste. Not
that delicacy which is perpetuallyin quest
of something to bt ashamed of, which
makes merit of a blush, and shippers at
the false construction its own ingenuity
has put upon an innocent remark; the
spurious kind of delicacy is far removed
from good sense; but the high-minded
deIicacy which maintains its pure and un-
deviating walk alike among women and
in the society of men,--which shrinks
from no necessary duty, and can speak
when required with seriousness and kind
ness of things at which it would be asha-
med to smile or blush--that delicacy
which knows how to confer a benefit
without wounding the feelings of another
which can give aims without assump-
ton, and which pains not the most sus-
ceptible being in creation

off with the speed of the whirlwind. Woe
to me if, under such circumstances, were
to trust the strength of my arm or the
power Of the bride! / knew my gallant
charger better. Leaving my hand quite
loose, and abandoning all thoughts of

pat him on the neck, call him by his name,
beg him to be quiet and deserve the piece
of sugar waiting for him at home. Never
did these gentle means fail. Instantly he
would slaeken his pace, prick up his ears
as if fully comprehending his error, and
come back to a soft ambie. gently neigh

ed. Among the sons of Ismael, women
are the natural and only grooms of their
lords stables. When the horse is still a
colt he is reared in the back part of the
tent, the movable harem of the Arab. In
the third year of his life be has the ho-
nor of carrying his master, and when he
returns home from journey, the horse is
instantly delivered into the women's
hands, who wash his eyes with cold wa
ter, and walk him gently to and fro till the
foam has disappeared from his mouth and
the perspiration from his limbs. 1t is the
masters wife that disincumbers him from
the heavy saddle, the complicated and
adorned bride. the embroidered and gild-
ed covering. She fastens cord to his
foot, and taking him first to drink, then
leads him where the best bits of grass are
to be found in that barren country"

How much Luxury we need

Is discussed by Rusltin:
Il am no advocate for meanness of
private habitation. ! would fain introduce
into it all magnifcence, care, and beauty
where they are possible; but would not
have that useless expense in uanoticed
f1neries or forinalities cornicings of cei-
lings, and granting of doors, and fringing
of curtains, and thousands of such things
which have become foolishly and apathe
tically habitual-things on whose common
appliance hang whole trades, TO which
there never yet belonged the blessing of
giving ,one ray of real pleasure, or becom-
ing of the reHotest or most contemplate
use--things which cause half the expense
of life, and destroy more than half its
conf ort, manffness, responsibility, fresh
ness and facility. speak from expert
ence; know what it is to live in a cot
tage with.a deal floor and roof, and a
hearth of mica slate; and / know it TO be
in many respects healthier and happier
than living betweena Turkey carpet and
a gilded ceiling, beside still CRATE and
polished fender. l do not say that such
things have not their place and propriety;
but l say this emphatically, that the tenth
part of the expense which is sacrificed in
domestic vanities, if not absolutely and
meaninglessly lost in domestic disconforts
and membranes, would, if collectively
offered and wisely employed, build a
marble church for every town in Eng
land; such a church as it should be Joy
and blessing evento pass near IN our daily
ways and walks, and as it would bring
the light into the eyes to see from afar,
lifting its fair height above the purple
crowd of humble roofs

There is a closer bond than that Of

There is closer bond than that of a
common pulse; the bond woven of identi-
cal associations. The same trees to dream
under, the same hearth to creep to, the
same wood to be sprinkled with rainbows,
the same meadows for the birds and
berries, and the same brook for the angl-
ing, the same burial-place for the dead,
the like sweet faith for the living-thest
are the things that make that saying
true:-stBetter is friend that is near
than a brother afar off. And in that
possession Of a common past, there is a
partnership Of heart that is never silent
and never dissolved; a sentiment tha
gives to I'VE" and to ''ours" a bright and
warm signifcance--bright and warm
even as the sun Of sweet morning II

Arab Horses.

A writer in one of our monthly maga-
zines thus refers to the influence which
women have over the Arab horses:
Contrary to our customs the Arabs
mount their horses at an early age. They
have proverbs, "that the lessons of infan-
cy are engraved on stone, the lessons of
mature age disappear like birds nests. :"
The first year the Arabs teach their hor-
ses to be led by a bride. The second
year they ride him for mile, then two,
then farther; and when eighteen months
they are not afraid of fatiguing them
The third year they tie them up, cease to
ride them and make them fat; if they do
not then suit they sell them. If horse
is not ridden before the third year, then
it is certain he is good for nothing but
running, which a good horse has no occa-
sion to learn, because it is his original fa-
Guilty.
A noble lady visiting Egypt, writing
to her friends in England, says:
Il fear you may deem me rather
boastful of my horsemanship, when tell
YOU that the two Arab horses which threw
their cavaliers did not throw me. The
cause of the exception was not in me OF

The saint seeks not to do great things,
for that reason he can accomplish great
things. He who thinks many things
easy is sure to encounter numerous diff
culties. Hence it happens that the saint
who esteems every thing difficult, encoun-
tiers no difficulty to the end of his life.
