Social Intercourse.

There is a false necessity with which we
continually surround ourselves-a restraint
of conventional forms. Under this infu-
ence. men and women check their best i'm
pulses and suppress their highest thoughts.
What hinders The fear of what Mrs.
Somebody will say or the frown of some
sect or the anathema of some synod; or
the fashion cliquej or the laugh of some
club or the misrepresentation of some
political party Thou art afraid Of thy
neighbor, and knowest not that he is equal
lv afraid of thee. He has bound thy hands
and thou hast fettered his feet. 1t were
wiser for both to snap the imaginary bond,
and walk onward unshackled.
What is there of joyful freedom in our
social intercourse? We wish to enjoy our
selves and take away all our freedom, while
we destroy his own. If the host wishes to
ride. he dares not, lest it should seem i'm
polite to the guests. So they remain slaves,
and feel it is relief to part company. A
few individuals mostly in foreign lands, ar
range this matter with wiser wisdom.
If a visitor arrives they say, | am very
busy to-day if you want to work the men
are raking hay in the field if you want to
romp, the children are at play in the yard !;
if you want to read to me, can be with
you at such an hour. Go where you please
and while you are here do as you please.
At some houses in Florence, large par
ties meet without the slightest preparation.
1t is understood that on some particular
evening of the week, lady or gentleman
always receive their friends In one room
are books and flowers, in another pictures
and engrayings, in third music. Couples
are ensconced in some shaded alcove, or
groups dotted about the rooms, in mirthful
or serious conversation.
No man is required to speak to his host,
either On entering or departing. Lemon
ade and baskets of fruit stand here and
there, on the side-tables, that all may take
who like but eating, which constitutes so
great a part of American entertainment, is
a light and almost unnoticed incident at
these festivals of intellect and taste.
The first step towards the introduction OF
social freedom, must be complete inditter-
ence to Mrs. Somebody S assertion that you
are mean enough to offer only one kind of
cake to your company, and put less short
ming in the undercrust of your pie than the
upper Let Mrs. Somebody talk according
to her gifts be thou assured that ali living
souls love freedom better than cakes or un-
dercrust

Too Good to be Lost.

The Knickerbocker says &c Not many
years ago, an Irishman, whose finances did
not keep pace with the demands made on
his pocket, and whose scorn of honest labor
was imminently unfavorable to their being
legitimately filled, borrowed an old pistol
one day, when poverty had driven him to
extremity and took the highway most con-
venient to where he was likely 10 find a
heavy purse.
A Jolly old farmer came jogging along,
and Pat put him down instantly as party
possessing those requisites he so much stood
in need of himself. Presenting the pistol,
he demanded him to ''stand and deliver"
The poor fellow forked over some fifty
dollars, but finding Pat somewhat green,
begged a five to take him home, distance
of about half mile. The request was
complied with, accompanied with the most
patronizing air. Old Acres and Roods was
a knowing one. Eyeing the pistol, he
asked Pat if he would sell it.
''Is it to sell the pistol? Shure, and it's
the same thing I'll be after doing. What
will you be giving for it y
"I'll give you the five dollar bill for it. .
"Done and done's enough between two
gentlemen. Down with the dust, and sure
here's the tool for you"
The bargain was made by an immediate
transfer. The moment the farmer got the
weapon he ordered Pat to she'll out; and
pointing the pistol threateningly to blow
his brains out if he refused.
Pat looked at him with a comical leer,
and buttoning his breeches pockets, sung
out
elbow away, ould boy divil take the
bit of powders in it.
We believe the old man never told the
last part of the story but once, and that was
by the purest accident.

A HAPPY FIREsIDE.-Home is the residence
not merely of the body but of the heart it is a
place for the affections to unfold and develop
themselves; for children to play in for husband
and wife to toll smilngly together, and make life
blessing. The object of all ambition should be
to be happy at home if we are not happy else
where. 1t is the best proof of the virtues of a
family circle, to see happy fresde.

PATIENCE. There is much truth, if there is
also some satire in the following =
"You can do anything if you will have patience,
says our old fogy uncle, who made his fortune by
being planted in the old town when corner lots
were worth only ten dollars an acre, and waited
till he woke up one morning to find them worth
$500 foot.
"Water may be carried in sieve if you can
only wait"
"How long?" queries impudent and impatient
Young America who can hardly wait for his bread
or the old abtuary.
