intending to follow them up by an offer

remarked that Sir Thomas was highly
blamable, No" replied the lady (it
was rumored she herself was once the
temporary object of the great painters
attentions), mo, not exactly-not so
much to blame said she musingly.

still the musing response. "Can you re-

From the Galaxy.l
The enormous beds in fashion in the
middle ages, in which not only the
whole family, but favorite domestic ami
mails, hunting dogs, cats, etc., reposed
together, excite our liveliest astonish-
ment. In those days the aristocracy
did not find it undigni6ed to share their
couches with friends or guests who
sought their hospitality. 1t was, on the
contrary, considered mark of sincere
friendship.
1t is now commonly believed that
where two persons sleep together, one
abstracts from the other some amour
of vital force. This is especially
the case where old and young per-
sons share the same bed. Besides, in a
room where there is no decided current
OF air, the emanations from the lungs
and skin of the sleeper poison the at
mosphere for considerable distance.
In the public wards of great hospitals,
neverless than two and a half feet is
allowed between each bed for this rea-
son. In the sleeping apartments
of royalty and nobility, single
beds are everywhere the rule,
and nowhere the exception. The
Emperor of Germany sleeps upon a mar
row bed and hard mattress. The sim
gle bed-covering is wadded silk quilt
The Emperor and Empress of Austria
take their royal slumbers on similar beds,
with the same description of coverlet.
One Of the principal advantages of these
narrow beds is that the mattresses are
more easily aired. Even the poorest
housewives in Germany recognize the
fact that beding requires daily airing,
and on a pleasant day in winter, and
nearly every day in summer, one may
see stretched out of the court yard win
dow for an entire half day the featherbeds
and coverings so dear to the heart of a
German fraw. 81

1t is SO much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of adj
dress. The mass of people, especially the yoang,
demand stories to such a degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have q wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses. the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged corps of first-class writers,
among whom are jean Ingelow, Edward Eg-
gleston, Mary L. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia G. Runkle, and many others, who
furnish to this journal the best original stories
of the purest character and highest grade-thus
conveying much instruction in a pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains a large amount of frstclass
reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper,
the gardener, the farmer; a capital department
for children and youth; the news of the day
finaneal!and market reports, etc. Its engrayings,
costing over $25, 900 year, are of high order Of
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper IN
he world. Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such q journal as may be safely and very pro
fitably taken into any family. II is supplied at
the low rate of $s a year; four copies for I'll
