on lemon colored paper, with a bunch Of
hyacinths in tie leti hand upper corner,
that the pleasure of their company was
requested on the following Thursday.-
Now it was long time since a party had
been given in Liberty Centre, for the
reason that Judge Dykes daughter had
given the last one, and it had been done
in such a style OF magnifcence that no
one cocld hope to surpas3 it, so they
would give none at all, But Kitty Bald
win had been spending two weeks at her
cousins in Boston, and while there at
tended several parties ard obtained some
new ideas which she was sure Amanda
Dyke had never dreamed Of, so she de-
termined on her return to have a party
several notche5 above the Dykes. She
suggested this to her father, and he read
lily acqujc5ced, i0r he had just made a
speech ia the legislature on the "Barbar-
ism of smoking" aud he wanted to know
the opinions of his neiglbors. So Kitty
went to work at ouce. and made list OF
those she wished to invite. First she
put down ou}Ytl those who were classed as
the upper ten Of Liberty Centre: boo

wished to amaze any one Will the ,plcn-

ways, and sometimes wondered if some
thing could not be done to remedy them,
and she would determine not to laugh at

laugh would burst forth.
As we we've saying, Eli appeared
He had knocked on the knocker, and
then esp;ed the bell handle, and thinking
he should have pulled that instead, he
grasped it and gave it jerk. The wire
worked very easy, and Eli came near
going backward down the steps. This
seemed to disturb his equilibrium the
whole evening. He stumbled twice in
going up stairs, and when he came down
to the parlor he bowed first to the ser

brought in lamp.

C1i,0RED SERVANTS

Stii another feature which is hare the
subject of genera! complaint. is the practice
0! many 0! the eff .eEs, who have at some
time taken fancy to some likely Iook:cg
" contraband," attach him to their persons
as servant; the eH.ct of which is, they
daily come dashing through the camp, the
nigga, dressed to death in Uncle Sam
livery, and mounted upon splendid horses,
apparently seeming to look Gown "'pou de
poor white trash" with considerable disdain.
Where this oue feature is seen 10 rs worst
aspect, is ID the long night marches Through
mud and rain, when the poor sick soldier
YEARLY drags bis way along, or, wore ont
and exhausted, lays him down to aie, while
at the same time the big beaslly nigga
dasbes By on the extra horse Of bis new
master.
This may be stating facts too plainly, but
it is too paipabie an error to be passed
without notice. We know such sights have
bad effect upon oUr mind, and we feel that
the private soldier is none the less sensitive
than Curself.
