Hospitality.

This is a question of great importance
in family, from the educational influ-
ence it may have upon the younger
members of it and variety it gives to
the monotony of daily household life.
To entertain ones friends and &C.
quaintances frequently and easily is a
very pleasant and desirable thing, but
in order to do this one must not attempt
too much in the old-fashioned way of
loading the table with a great and per-
haps homogeneous variety of food.
1t is a very good plan to have COM
pany day; to take the one day in the
week which by trial you find the most
convenient, and make habit of inviting
some one to dinner or tea on that day.
Thursday answers very well for this
mid-week baking day, and whatever is
It should be made a matter almost of
principle not to make wide difference
between the family table and table for
company. If it is all that it ought 10
be for the family it is very nearly all
that it should be for friends. OF course
there are occasional Iuxuries and addi-
tional grsces which we like to share
with our guests, but it is a mistaken
policy, and certainly very far from the
true spirit of hospitality, to minister
more to the appetite of our friends than
to their social and intellectual faculties.
1t is never the extra one or two, or
three places at the table that makes
"having company" WEAKNESS and an
effort, but it is the difference we make
between the entertainment of our friends
and our usual style of living. 1t is the
getting out the best china, which is
kept packed too carefully away. 1t is
the "doing up" of the fine linen table
cloths and napkins, or the rubbing of
unused silver. It is the baking of some
unusually delicate cake, or the prepare
ton of some half dozen troublesome
dishes, and when these things are all
done, the sense of enjoyment in the
dulled by fatigue in preparation for
them.
OF course one must have ssbest china"
and best linen" even if it is a weari-
ness to the flesh, but it should never be
too good to go into regular use once a
week, and that regularity of use keeps
it in order and prevents the extra work
which only occasional use entails. Let
Thursday, then, be clean table cloth
day, and china day, and fresh cake and
bread day, and company day, and try
by all means to have restful day as
well. Do not invite more than two or
three persons habitually, and invite
them from different families, and let
them be people to whom it is q treat to
meet each other. Well chosen friendly
meetings are better than extra dishes,
as you shall find if you pursue your
hospitable experiments with judicious
care.-Er.

Review Of the Commercial Situation in New
York.
A review of the commercial situation for
the week past fails to present a single feature
of an encouraging character. Our warehouses
remain filed with the grain and other pro-
ducts Of the land, and more firmly locked
with that "paper key legal tender-than
if surrounded by armed soldiery. Hence
stagnation in trade, a dearth of business fol
our railroads and general dry rot. The
thousand or more active members of the Pro.
duce Exchange are compelled to be content
with dinners scratched from the siftings Of
less than 200, 600 bushels of grain per day, OF
from the dIippings of other articles, the bust
ness in which is of equally magnificent pro-
portions Even the daily papers of Western
cities. where the autumn trade has been tairly
active, have done less Boosting during the pas
week, and INDUCED in no little "groRling
at the present condition of their local com
merce. Comment would be superfuous. Tit
