How to Keep a HOTEL

Procure a well dressed clerk with curly
black hair, if possible, to stand at the oesk'
and by all means insist on bis wearing
diamonds.
seedy visitors will take no liberties
with such man.
When traveller comes in. be is not to
notice him for the space of FIVE minutes
at least; it puts the obligation at once
W here it belongs.
You take him, not he you.
It's an excellent deyiVe 70 have the,
numbers Of your chambers reversed from
the old plan, i.e., let them begin to count
from the roof.
Thus, when the guest sees the clerk put
"No TO-" for instance, opposite bis name
on the register, he departs satisfied and
is too much exhausted and cowed by the
lime he discovers its whereabouts to make
any complaint.
Instruct your clerk that it is not his
business to know anything about the de-
parting trains and steamboats,.
Some persons are 50 easily imposed
upon. that The extraordinary fact of a
highly bedizened clerks knowing their
names two minutes after reading them on
the register, ti:kles them tremendously.
In regard to the dining room, you can
not have too impudert AZ lrishman as
t head waiter.
: Il should be Lis duty when guest en-
ters the room, no matter bow empty 1t
NAV be, to take him in convoy and make

Stories nbout Children.

A writer in one Of the London literary
journals, discoursing Of the whims and
peculiarities Of children, observes:
mo bland amenities can be successful,
while one Of these sweet little pets is at
hand, with Its revelations, its explanations
and it's CLOSES, for it is sure to remember
how said she was glad to hear
that Mrs. So-and-so was going away.
An amusing story is told Of a lady who
once pressed a friend to visit her in the
country. On his arrival at -, he was
a. once shown to his room, the dressing
bell, as he was informed, having already
rung. On entering the room in which the
company assembled before dinner, he
found himself alone with a little girl, ele-
cantly dressed, who, as the event proved,
was quite up to the occasion. He spoke
10 her in language which he supposed to
be suited to her years, and, for a time,
thew got on very well together, when she
presently bethought herself that she would
like to know the name Of her new friend.
He at once complied with her request, and
told her his name, to which she instantly
replied, with the utmost naiuete: oh,
then, you are the man that mamma says
has sung himself into society! Pleasant
announcement in the first moments OF an
arrival at a strange house! especially
when il suddenly flashed across our
friends mind that it had been a special
proyiso in the invitation that he should
bring all his music with him.
"But there is no end to the stories
which almost every one has to tell Of the
NAL apropos sayings of these blessed little
pests. II q friend Is pressed to stay, and
regrets his inability to do so. the enfant
terrible is sure to say he is glad OF 1t. 1t
is in vain to hope to dissemole your love or
your aversion, II, in some unguarded mo-
ment, no secret has been made Of either.
Little pitchers have long ears and peo-
pie are apt to forget this when they talk
over the things which most deeply inter-
est them, forgetful that the tongue Of the
old and young alike is al unruly mem
Der. Precocious children, who have not
been kept in their proper place, and whose
tongues have been allowed to run ad hbi-
tlns, have not unfrequently been the dis
turbers Of domestic unhappiness.
Tale bearing is an odious habit, wheth-
err in the old or young, and N fireside is
safe from its attacks. An amusing in
stance occurred, within our memory, of a
petted child who was suffered to accom-
pany her father in a round Of visits which
he proposed to make. His visits being
made he brought her back to her mother,
with the evident expectation Of some
praise for his punctuality. Mamma, in
her gladness, drew the child towards her,
gave her a kiss, and was on the point o.
expressing the hope that she had been
amused, when she was cut short by the
'swee, child saying, All, that is jus
wha, papa did to Mrs. - It was i'm
possible for the unfortunate father to con
tradict or explain. There he stood con
victed. no doubt invardly resolving tina
when he went visiting in future he woul'
leave his enfdnt terrible at home.

Tue MALDkN MURDERER The action
taken by the governor and Council Wed.
ncsday in the case Of Edward W. Green.
1.-The Maiden murderer" promises to bring
to close, at a'time not now far off, case
which has had perhaps the most singular
history to be found in our judicial annals.
But for the community aud for the miser-
able criminal himself. it is we'll that this
] case should be disposed off, Nothing. in.
deed, can be imagined more wretcfhed than
than the condition of the latter, who has
now lain for more than year under sen.
tence Of death. with the question still un.
settled as to the execution Of his sen.
tence. And for the community, it is ex-
pedlent in case where the vast majority
are satisfied that capital punishment sho'd
be inflicted. if the penalty Of death is to
be retained in our statute books. that the
legal questions on which the execution of
the sentence has so long waited should be
determined and set at rest.
Governor Bullock, with entire respect
for the opinions and doubts of his prede-
cessor, has seen his duty differently from
that gentleman. and has presented his
