A MODEL CARD.--There is nothing
more difficult in theline of petit literary
efforts than TO frame On appropriate
card of thanks for favors received, as
many who have had occasion to try
their skill in this line of composition,
as well as many more whose especial
provincoit to criticize these and other
matters of minor importance, are
aware. The conflict of feeling arising
out of an honest desire on the part OF
the recipient to render as full an
equivalent as words can make, and
the necessity of SO unsubstantial re-
turn for substantial favors is such that
sensitive individual finds no small
difficulty in suiting himself, as to style
one not so sensitive has no trouble in
this respect, but he is certain to suit
nobody else.
A successful effort in this depart
rnent, however. is by no means on
impossibility, and it gives us pleasure
