some clam chowder, plenty of boiled and

included we have the feast in its perfection.

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 ad-
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories to such Il degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have a wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
paper have engaged corps of first-class writers,
among whom are jean 1ngelow, Edward Egg
gleston, Mary Z. 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 pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND

reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper
the gardener, the farmer; capital department
for children and youth the news of the day;

costing over $4,000 year, of a high order OF

company listened to the very best music
procurable at the time, or joined in q
conversation which for two thousand
years has been proverbial for its wit
grace, and brilliancy.
Between each course, or at least be.
tween what was called the gNstus and
the first course Of the eglid, and again
at its termination, fragrant waters were
handed round, the attendants being boys
or women chosen for the beauty Of their
appearance and manners, and robed al.
most as superbly as the guests. If the
dinner lasted into the evening, for il
was long ceremony, though its com
mencement was usually so early, the
magnificent saloon was lit by thousand
lamps that glittered from amongst a
wealth of blossoms, upon the golden
statues and amber vessels, whilst the
whole coup dgH was united and com
bined, as an artist would express it, by a
canopy of purple or scarlet that over
hung the group. Sometimes harp was
carried around, and those of the guests
who had turn for music or poetry,
played or recited songs to the rest. Al
other times they laughed at the feats OF
agile acrobats who danced on ropes al
most over their very heads, or tossed up
eggs, as in Alma Tadema's matchless
picture of Pompeiian life.
There does not appear to have been
any formal arrangement in the seating
of the guests as in our day. Sometimes
the host assigned the places, but gen.
orally the guests were left to choose
their own. The "place of homo" was
the first seat on the medius lectus (mid-
die couch) where the cushion was sup
ported by little railing. The host s
usual seat was adjoining it, the first seat
of the Imulectus, the least honorable of
the three benches.

RING THE BELL SOFTLY.

Some one has gone from this strange world of
ours.
No more to gather its thorns with its flowers;
No longer to linger where sunbeams must fade,
Where, on all beauty, death s fingers are laid;
Weary with mingling life's bitter and sweet,
Weary with parting and never to meet. M
Some one has gone to the bright golden shore,
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door.
Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not I'M;
Joyous as birds when the morning Is bright
When the sweet sunbeams have brought us
M their light;
Weary with sowing and never to reap,
Weary with labor, and welcoming sleep
Some ones departed for heavens bright shore,
Ring the bell softly. there's Grape on the door.
Angels were anxiously longing to meet
One who walks with them in heavens bright
street; N.t
Loved ones have whispered that some one is
blest-
Free from earth's trials and taking. sweet rest,
Yesl there is one more in angelic bliss
One less to cherish, and one less TO kiss;
One more departed TO heavens bright shore,
Ring the bell softly. there's Grape on the door.

Fruits and Berries as Promoters of
HEALTH

Fruits and berries at this season Of
the year are not only precious luxuries,
but great promoters of health. They act
upon the liver, promoting that secretion
naturally which many are in the habit
of obtaining only by the means of artif-
cial medicines They thus avert many
disease resulting from torpid condi-
ton of the liver Another way in which
they act benefcially is in the mechanical
effect their little seeds produce in pass.
ing through the bowels, very much the
same as the watering of an irritated eye
ball when any hard substance touches
that delicate organ, and this water, by
dissolving the hardened contents of con-
stipated bowels, keeps them in health
ier state than any pill or purgative in
vented by the apothecary. There can
be no doubt that in the summer and fall
seasons people who live mainly on fruits
and berries and coarse bread can almost
ensure exemption from sickness, while
those who eat heartily of solid meats
and vegetables two or three times day
are liable to all the diseases that flesh is
heir to.
