This is question of great Importance
in family, from the educational infiu-
ence it may have upon the younger
members of il, and the variety it gives to
the monotony of daily household life.
To entertain ones friends and acquain-
tances frequently and easily is a very
pleasant and desirable thing, but in or
der to do this one must not attempt too
much in the old-fashioned way of loading
the table with great ard perhaps in
congruous variety of food.
1t is a very good plan to have comma
ny day; to take the one day in the week
which by trial you find the most convent
ent, and make habit Of inviting some
one to dinner or tea on that day. Thurs
day answers very well for this purpose,
as Wednesday is usually the mid-week
baking day, and whatever is baked on
that day is fresh for the next. Itsbould
be made matter almost of principle not
to make a wide difference between the
family table and a table for company. If
1t Is all that it ought to be for the fami-
ly it is very near all that it ought to be
for the friends. OF course there are oc-
easional luxuries and additional graces
which we like to share with our guests,
out 1t is mistaken policy, and certainly
very far from the true spirit of hospital
lty to minister more to the appetite of
our friends than to their social and intel
lectual faculties.
1t is never the extra one or two or
three places at the table that ''having
company" that makes it a weariness 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 fiEe linen table-cloths
and napkins, or the rubbing of unused
silver. 1t is the baking of some unusu-
ally delicate cake, or the preparation of
some half-dozen troublesome dishes. and
when these things are all done, the sense
ofenjoymenti in the coming of our friends
is somewhat duIled by fatigue in prepa-
ration for them.
OF fcourse one must have "best china"
and "best linen, "even If it is WEAKNESS
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 Or
der and prevents the extra work which
only occasional use entails. Let Thurs
day, then, be clean table-cloth day, and
china day, and freslcake and bread day,
and company day, and try by all means
to have it restful day as well. Do not
invite more than two or three persons
habitually, and invite them from differ
ent families, and let them be people to
whom it will be a treat to meet each
other. Wellchosen friendly meetings
are better than extra dishes, as you shall
find if you pursue your hospitable exper-
iments with iudicious care.-AmericQn

TWO PICTURES.

An old farmhouse, with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
4 brigbt-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woOdb;ne wreaihed about,
And wishes his one thought all day:
''0hl if could but fly away
From this dull spot the world 10 see,
How happy. happy, happy,
How happy / should be-!
Amid the city's constant din.
4 man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking, all day long:
'Ohi could only trace once more
The field-path TO the farmhouse door,
The old, green meadow could ] see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy / should be-

ENGLISH IVY.-The use of English
ivies for the purpose of decorating living
rooms is more extensive every year, and
cannot be too highly commended. Be
ing very strong, they will live through
any treatment: but study their peculiar
tiles and manifest willingness to crafty
them, and they will grow without stint.
Many houses are too hot for them, as
indeed they are tor their owners. Neither
plants nor people should have the tenn
perature over sixty-five degrees Fahren-
heit. Take care not to enfeeble your ivies
by excessive watering or undue heal, and
you will see they will not seem to mind
whether the sun shines on them or not,
or in what position or direction you train
them. Indeed, so much will they do
themselves to make a room charming,
that we would rather have an unlimited
number of them to draw upon than any
thing in nature or art.
Do you wish the ugly, plain doors, that
shut off your tiny entry to be arched or
curved, like those in the drawing-rooms
of your rich neighbor? Buy a couple of
brackets, such as lamps for the burning
of kerosene are sometimes placed in, and
screw them in the sides of the door. Put
in each aplant of English ivy, the longer
the better; then train the plants over
the top, against the sides-indeed, any
way your fancy dictates. You need not
buy the beautiful but costly pots the
flower dealer will advise; common glazed
ones will answer every purpose, for, by
placing in each two or three sprays of |
Coliseum ivy, in a months time no YES
tige of the pot itself can be discerned
through their thick screen.
The English ivy, growing over the walls
ofa building, instead of promoting damp
ness, as most persons would suppose, is
said to be remedy for it, and it is men
toned as a fact that in a certain length
Of time, the affected parts inside had be-
come dry when ivy had grown up to
cover the opposite exterior side. The
close overhanging pendant leaves pre-
vent the rain or moisture from penetra-
ting to the wall. Beauty and utility in
this case go hand in hand.-JournG Of
Horticulture.

WHY CUcUMBERs ARE BITTER.-0ne
of the causes gardeners give for cucum-

too slow; that In order to secure sweet

TO grow as fast as possible.

The Germantown Telegraph says: We
are asked for a coloring wash for houses
and out-buildings that is inexpensive.
For years we tried to find out a good
wash for this purpose, and we think we
have found it in the following recipe, the
color of which is somewhat similar to
brown stone: To 100 gallons of water
add about fifteen pounds Venetian red,
one peck of unslacked lime, five pounds
mineral black, or about one busheI an
thracite coal dust from the yards, which
can be had for the hauling. Then get
some worn-out printing rollers, which we
presume will be gladly given away; melt
in kettle with water, so as to be of
reasonable consistency, and add about
quart to each bucket of the coloring
when about to be applied. This will
make the wash thick and retain its orig
inal color. Much depends upon the judg-
ment in mixing.
