A CONSTANT SURPRlsE.-It is a con-
slant surprise that so many ofthe men
who stand high in the profession, in
political life, and in general society,
have never been trained in the uni
versity. They may not oil be self
made men, but they have somehow
obtained essentially the same result
by that social attriton and keen COM
mon sense which makes college. bred
man a great leader, and enabled man
who steps out from the ranks to make
good in part what he must always
feel to be greater or less defects in his
training. The truth is our ideas of
culture need to be broader than the
university, which in fact is only
stepping stone to something else. The
close contact with men, the ambitious
spirit which is infused into Americans
as part of their social environment,
the idea of making ones way to
something more than he was born to,
Is quite as powerful an incentive to
general culture as the college, and
while it will never do to say that
learning can be dispensed with it is q
constant surprise to find how abund-
antly quickwltted men make up for
its loss in the actual work of life. It
is the peculiar experience of American
society that its leaders comes from all
walks oflife, and not more from one
quarter or circle than another. We
are all born to possible greatness if the
conditions by which we march out
from boyhoood are favorable. If in
one generation family steps into the
first rank it IS by no means certain
that it will retain its position in the
second or third. Everything is SHIFT
ing and a coat OF arms with us prac-
tically goes for nothing.

The Rule of HgtpitaIiiy.

true hospitality Is thinS tnat
touches the heart and never goes be-
yond the circle of general impulses.
Entertainment with the true hospita.
ble.man means more than the mere
feeding of the body; it means an in
lelchange of soul gifts. Still it should
have its laws, as all things good must
have laws to govern them.
The obligation to be hospitable is a
sacred one. emphasized by every NOR.
al code known TO the world, and a
practical outcome of the second S"""t
commandment.
There should never be guest IN
the house whose presence requires any
considerable change in the domestic
economy.
However much the circumstances of
business or mutual interests may de-
mand in entertaining a stranger, he
should never be taken into the family
circle unless he is known to be wholly
worthy of place in that sanduna
saa.ct0rum of 4 social life ; but when
once man is admitted to the home
freside he should be treated as if the
place had been his always.
The fact of an invitation gives nei-
ther host nor guest the right to be
master of the Others time, and does
not require even a temporary sacrifice
Of ones entire individuality or pur.
suits.
A man should never be so much
himself as when he entertains friend.
To stay at friends house beyond
the time tor which one is invited is to
perpetrate social robbery.
To abide uninvited to friends
home is as much a misdemeanor as
borrowing his coat without his per
mission 1t is debasing the coin of
friendship to mere dross when a man
attempts to make it.pay his hotel bills.
The tact OF two men having the
same occupation and interests in life
gives to neither a social right to the
others bed and board. a travelling
minister has no more right to 60 un-
invited to a fellow preachers house
than a travelling shopkeeper or shoe
maker has to go uninvited to the
house of his fellow craftsman. Men
are ordained to the ministry as preach
ers, teachers and pastors, and not as
private hotel-keepers.
They who 60 into the country In
summer as unlimited guests of their
farmer friends should be rated as So
cial brlgands and treated accordingly.
These few social maxims are by no
means to be taken as a complete code
of laws. Others quite as important
will spring up out of the personal ex-
pelience of every reader of this article,
and the justice and equity OF all may
be tested by that intallible standard
of society-the Golden Rule. There
can be 10 true hospitality that in
practice is a violation of this rule;
and you may safely rest assured that
you have given the fullest and most
perfect measure of entertainment to
your neighbor If you have done ex-
actly as you would be done by

THE AUSTRIAN PEACE PARTY STILL ACIvE-wAR
PREPARATIONS GOING ON.
LONDON, Wednesday, Feb 81 1873.
The Paris correspondent of The Times says
preliminary declarations arc expected from Austria
which will either prevent the meeting OF Conference
or render its programme acceptable TO the Powers.
The Times has the following from Vienna:
All the Offices IN Bulgaria being filed by Russians,
or Bulgarans educated in Russia The formation Of
seventy battaans and IL squarons of Bulgarian militia
has just been ordered. The officers will be Russians.
The Russian conditions have produced deep impress
sion here. The party IN favor OF peace at any
price still continues IFS agitation. but there seems
to be little probability that II VIII get the upper hand
either in the Delegations or tie Relchsrath The latest
information encourages the hope that the differences be-
tween Russia aud Roumania are less acute, probably
because Russia has offered some better compensation
than the DObruja for BesSaraba.
The Standards dispatch from Vienna states that the
Austrian railways have received preliminary orders TO
prepare the conveyance Of troops and officers on fur
lough have been ordered 10 rejon their regiments.
sThe Vienna dispatch to The Daily Telegraph says:"I
have best for asserting that Count Andassy
will rest with the passing OF vote OF credit by
the Delegations, but will not court certain defeat by
bringing the matter before the Reichsrah The vote OF
credit will thus merely be an empty expression oi con-
deuce by the Delegations. Public opinion continues TO
