The Art OF Hospitality.

Welcome the coming guest; welcome
him with few pleasant easy words; with
out ostentatious cordially; without gush-
ing declamations of friendship; without
paralyZing his arm by an interminxble
shaking of hands; without hurry or -four
lsh, or undue anxiety to have his trunk
carried up to his room, or sandwiching
between every sentence an anxious appeal
to make himself entirely at home-an ap-
peal which usually operates to make one
feel as much away from home as possible.
Constantly taking it for granted on the
part of the host and his family that one
is not comfortable, and that they must hur-
~ about, and take all the responsibility
(and all selfhelpfulness) from the guest.
thus depriving him Of the credit OF CON-
mon sense. is something worthy of indig.
nation; all the more SO because poiiteness
forbids the least sign of impotence.
And yet how many of our well-mean-
ing and, In most things well.bred people,
fall into the error that unless they are con-
stantly on the alert. unless they establish
a kind of espionage over their guest, and
watch his every movement, lest he should
brush his coat or take seat for himself,
they will be wanting in courtesy. The art
OF hospitality consists in putting the guest
at his ease, and this does not mean telling
him to be at his ease. 1t consists in max
ing him forget that he is guest, and not
in constantly pushing the fact before bis
eyes. And it also consists in leaving to
him the exercise of his senses and of re-
sponsibility, at least. so far that finding
what he needs at his hand, he may help
himself.

The bees are hived, and the nests are stIll:-
Where can the child be lingering 90?
OBJ where can the little laggard stay?
SO swift of foot as she ever has been

To the lane where the blackberry vines be Gin
Her mother stands in the doorway there.
Shading her eyes frsm the setting sun,
And up and down, with an anxious cir,
Looks for trace Of the truapt one.
Has she wandered on where the swamp flowers
In the darkling wood and lost her way7
Has she slipped in the treacherous bog below
That hides un der mosses green and gays
Nay tmorous mother, spare your fearsi
Your little maiden is safe the while.
No marsh.bird screams in her ltar tied ears;
No forest mazes her feet begule.
She is only sanding amid the rye,
There at the end of the clover. plain,
And pulling daisy.star. to try
whether her lsve loves back again:
And Will bends over the bars beside
Two heads are better than one. forsoothi-
Leaning and looking, eager-eyed,
To see if the daisy tells the truth
