American Hospitality.

Arthur Hugh G Tough Said, The only
way to live comfortably in America is, to
Iiro rudely and simply" and while We
should not like to agree to bis statement
seriously, there are moments Of despair, it
must be acknowledged in which We feel the
force Of it, But there is a deeper reason
than this for our discomfort, and happily
it is one which, it lies in our power to re
medy. Somehow or other, the idea has
become chronic with US, that We must en-
lertain our visitors according to their
style of living rather than our own If a
friend comes who has no larger a mendgc
than we, it is all very we'll; We mike no
special effort. aud are thoroughly and sim.
ply hospiable But let distinguished
foreigner or an "AmeriCOn prince" visit
US, and everything is changed, We have
an indistinct idea Of what he is accustomed
to at home, aud nothing short of that will
content US. We pupourseIvos to torture
to devise how to entertain him worlhily,
forgetting that what is uuusual is always
obviously so, and thath will detect the
thin veueeriug Of style, aud either pity or
sueer at US, according to his nature.

has in great measure depended upon his
ndetatgablc and persistent abors in its be
half.
ReSoirtd, That while we are unable to est
mate the loss our Society and the cause of
temperance at large in the city of Ottawa and
vicinity has sustained by reason of his depart
urc, yet We look upon his removal with dis
favor, and consider il one OF the greatest evils
that could possibly bctall us.
RcSoiced That the Rev, r. :. Heating has,
and ever will have, the heartfelt sympathy
and good wishes of every member of this SO
cicty, and that they will always hold his
memory in the deepest vcneration as the father
