To Refugees!

HAVING come to cur knowledge that
some parties who had fed the city at the out
break of the epidemic have returned, con.
tracted the fever and died. it is my duty, by
resolution of the Howard Association, to warn
all Refugees that, owing to the fact that we
have all we can do to nurse and care for those
who are here, if they come back to the city
before the epidemic has been officially declared
over. they will do SO at their own risk and
with almost the certainty of having to provide
for themselves in case of sickness. Our pres
ent obligations are as many and as weighty as
we can carry, and we cannot. without break
ing down. assume any more. REFUGEES
MUST NOT RETURN. The fate of those
who have should be a warning to all.

TIE RULE OF HosPITAIITY.-True hospi
tality is a thing that touches the heart and
never goes beyond the circle OF generous
impulses. Entertainment with the truly hos
pitable man means more than the mere feed
ing of the bouy it means an interchange o.
soul gifts. Still it should have its laws, as
all things good must have laws to govern
them.
The obligation to be hospitable is II sacred
one, emphasized by every moral code known
to the world. and u practical outcome OF tbs
second great commandment
There should never be guest in the hous,
whose presence requires any considerable
change in the domestic economy.
However much the circumstances of bust
ness or mutual interests may demand Ill en-
tertaining stranger. he should never be
taken into the family circle unless he Ii
known to be wholly worthy of n place IL
that sanctum sanctorum of social life but
when once a man is admitted to the Eomt
iireside, he should be treated as if the place
had been his always.
The fact of an invitation gives neither host
nor guest the night to be master of the 9th
ers time. and does not require even tenn
porary sacrifice Of ones entire individuality
or pursuits.
man should never be so much himself as
when he entertains a friend.
To stay at friends house beyond the
time for which one is invited is to perpetrate
a social robbery.
To abide unlimited in a friends home Is as
much a misdemeanor as borrowing his coat
without permission. 1t il debasing the coin
of friendship to mere dross when man at
tempts to make it pay his hotel bills.
The fact OF two men having the same oc-
cupation and interests in life gives to neither
u social right to the others bed and board.
A travelling minister has no more right TO 60
uninvited to u fellow preachers house than a
travelling shopkeeper or shoemaker has 10 90
uninvited to the house of his fellow-crafts-
men. Men are ordained to the ministry as
preachers, teachers and pastors, and not as
private hotel keepers.
They who go into the country in summer
as unlimited guests of their farmer friends
should be rated as social brgands and treat
ed accordingly.
These few social ma1ims are by no means
to be taken Us a complete code of laws.
Others quite as important will spring up out
of the personal experience OF every reader OF
this article, and the justice and equity OF all
may be tested by that infallible standard OF
society-the Golden Rule. There eau be no
true hospitality that in practice is violation
Of this rule and you may safely rest assured
that you have given the fullest and most per-
feet measure of entertainment to your neigh
bor If you have done exactly as you would
be done by.

Although no doctrine in political econo-
my rests on more obvious grounds than the
mischief OF paper currency not maintain
ed at the same value with metallic, either
by convertlbility or by some principle of
limitation equivalent to 1t and although ac-
cordingly, tins doctrine has, though not till
after the discoveries of many years, been toll
erably efiectually drummed into the public
mind, yet dlssentlents are still numerous
and projectors every now and then start up
with plans for curing all the economical evils
of society by means Of an unlimited issue of
inconveruble paper. There Is, in truth, Il
great charm IN the idea. To he able to pay
of the national debt, defrny the expenses OF
government without taxation, and IN fine,
to make the fortunes OF the whole commu-
nifty, is Il brilliant prospect when once IL man
is capable OF believing that printing a few
characters on bits of paper will do 1t. The
philosophers stone could not be expected to
do more.
