SOCIAL GATHERINGS.

Nothing conduces so much to the happines of people as confidence, and nothing will inspire confidence better than acquaintance. We have known people who perfectly hated each other be- fore they had ever met, and aftey becoming well acquainted were fast friends, even extremists in politics aud religion when they became associa- ted find out that neither is half so bad he had been pictured in prejudiced imagination, proyi- ded, always, that they avoid the discussion of the particular matter upon which they so widely diff fer But We started in to say something of social gatherings and intended to try and turn the sub ject to some account in providing means for pro- lection against fire well to cultivate the social amenities. In thinking over the many en- tertainments of the present and comparing them with those of the past the mite society strikes us as coming nearer 10 an old fashioned back.woods huggng and kissing party than any modern insti- tuition we know of. Only think of the good old game Of 'Button button who's got the button," "Old Sister Phebe," Hide the thimbe," and thousand other games that involved the payment of pawas. How vivid the recollection ot tue thrill of netlable delight awakened by the ope- ration of picking typical cherries and handing them down 10 the sweetest little creature on earth ; then the flat irons, side-hill blows and other articles of hardware one was always so vii ling to be compelled to manufacture by way of redemption of pawns and even to claim other peoples pawns for the pleasure of redeening them.
 But let us not dwell too much upon the past, history repeats itself and the Mite Society Of to- day has taken the place of the ColG,Taps of those days, and if the ladies will only inaugurate Mite Society they can have all the young fellows on "string" and will be astonished to see how "spoony" the old bachelors will become. It will be perfect triumph from the start, and splen- did arrangement for raising money for any chari- table object.
 IL is true that a man, whether young or old, in a spoony condition is q most ridiculous spectacle in the eyes of others, but is himself supremely happy, so that the ladies need have no compunc- tions of conscience for having bewitched him. He is only lifted up into higher plane of enjoy mcnt than he can attain to in any other way. They should be careful, however, not to excite bis jealousy, for in the light of many a friends experienced we can vouch that then he is plunged in gulf of dark despair" from which nothing but matrmony will extricate him. The best thing lady do in such a case is to marry the "spoony" and restore him to his senses. If such counsels had prevailed in the past it would have wrought mighty difference in the social condition of several people; but we us Mite Society or some other institution that eomprehends the payment of pawns, it's real jolly.

Poetry.
DAY.DREAMS,

just within the cottage door
Baby plays upon the floor,
Whil, the mother, with her knitting,
Ga the low doorstep is sitting;
And the golden summer day
With the twilight slips away.
Building castles in the air.
Seeing visions bright and fair.
Ia that golden hour hazy,
Til the busy hands grow lazy,
And hel work unheeded lies
Meath her far-off dreamy eyes.
No more toiling day and night.
But Il life So lair and bright
That without Il stunt or measure.
she is drinking deep of pleasure,
In that visionary sphere
Which her dreaming brings SO near.
She is pluchin" at her ease
Golden fruits her taste to please
She Is lifted In her vi ion
To that far-off bright Elyslan,
While the tw hight slowly dies.
And gray shadows fill the skies.
But h:lik that merry shout
On the night breeze ringing ont
Seis the hr ght aIr-castles filling,
For The fisher voice is calling;
And the mothers dreams are Ger
She's the fishers wife once more
Back again from malb e halls,
Snug within her cottage walls,
Where baby must be ten ed
And home,pun garments mended
And her day dreams thus are done
With the setting of the sun.
