OUR NEW MINISTER TO GER
MANY.

Mr.. Taylor is very widely known
throughout the country as man of per-
feet rectitude and simplicity of nature.
who has made his own way, by his own
industry and character, and by the most
diligent cultivation of his literary tai
ent, to results which have given instruc-
tion and delight and inspiration to thou
sands of readers. But his success and
reputation have not in the least degree
spoiled him, and the man has the fresh
and generous and unsuspicious heart of
the boy. Moreover. his activity and his
distinction have not been such as to
bring him into collision with persons or
interests or parties. His temperament
is cheerful and hopeful, and his temper
SO sweet and winning that hostile feel
ing is impossible. At a time when par
ty passion is weak, and the country pre-
fers harmony to contention, the appoint
ment of a man whom everybody likes,
and whose career has illustrated the
qualities that Americans feel to be pecu.
liarly characteristic, as minister to a
country of whose language and literature
he is master, with which he has the ten.
derest ties, and in which his name is
honorably known as a friend, strikes
public feeling as SO felicitous that i
highly enjoys its own pleasure, and glad
| ly cheers the representative of what il
admires. He adds another name to the
long list of the literary men of our race
who have served in diplomatic positions
beginning with the seven embassies o
Chaucer, and signally illustrated in ou
own service at this time hy Mr.. Taylor

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. One
hundred years ago not pound of coal,
not cubic foot of Illuminating gas had
been burned in this country. No iron
stoves were used, and no contrivance for
economizing heat until DR.. Franklin
invented the iron framed fireplace. which
still bears his name. All the cooking
and warming in town and country were
done by the aid of fire kiDdled in the
brick oven or on the hearth. Pine knots
or tallow candles furnished the light for
the long winter nights, and sanded floors
supplied the place of rugs and carpets
The water used for household purpose
was drawn from deep wells by the
creaking sweep. No form of pump was
used in this country, so far as we can
learn, until after the commencement of
the present century. There were no
friction matches in those early days, by
the aid of which fire could be easily
kindled and if the fire .swent out upon
the hearth over night, and the tinder
was damp, SO that the sparks would moi
catch, the alternative was presented oi

MANNERS OF HUSBANDS. The honey
moon cannot last forever; and to all
men there comes point in their lives
where they have to decide whether the
amenities and courtesies and sweetness
which characterized the early days of
their affection shall be continued, or
whether they shall be given up. and
harsh sentiment. and speech, and
thought, and feeling shall pervade their
lives. To some of US, perhaps. this
time has come, and we have not decided
rightly, and harshness has crept into
that which has been perfect melody, and
there has been chronic discord in our
family circle. Reform your conduct
husbands, if you have lapsed from that
sweet era Forbearance is the keystone
of married life. There can be no dis
cord, there can be no large diyergencies
from truthfulness, so long as the husband
forbears and the wife forbears. The
temper should be kept under perfect
control.

TWISTED SENTENCES.

An Iowa editor thus acknowledges a
present of grapes "We have received a
present of grapes from our friend W.,
for which he will accept our compli-
ments, some of which are nearly two in
ches in diameter"
A widow in the West. intending to
succeed her husband in the management
of hotel, advertises that "the hotel
will be kept by the widow of the former
landlord. Mr.. Brown, who died last sum.
mer on new and improved plan"
One of Sir Boyle Rocks invitations to
an Irish nobleman was rather equivocal.
He writes: Il hope my lord if you ever
come within a mile of my house you
will stay there all night"
A coroner's verdict reads thus: 'The
deceased came to his death by excessive
drinking, producing apoplexy in the
minds of the jury"
A clergyman says: "a young woman
died in my neighborhood yesterday,
while l was preaching in a beastly state
of intoxication.
A correspondent in writing of a recent
celebration in the city of Cleveland,
says: "The procession was very fine,
and nearly two miles long, as was also
the report of DR.. Perry, the chaplain.
A Western paper says: "a child was
run over by wagon three years old and
cross-eyed, with pantalets on, which nev-
er spoke afterwards"
Over bridge at Athens, Ca, was
the following: "Any person driving
over this bridge on faster pace than a
walk shall, if white man, be fined five
dollars, and if a negro, receive twenty
five lashes, half the penalty to be be-
slowed on the informer."

MRS. HAYES, PLEASANT WAY OF
RECEIVING VISITORS.

The President and Mrs. Hayes and
their party returned on Sunday morning
or Saturday night, and duly went to
morning service Sunday at the Foundry
church, which they attend regularly.
On Monday evening quite large num-
ber of ladies and gentlemen went up to
the White House to welcome Mrs.
Hayes back. 1t is her pleasant custom
to receive all who call upon her after s
o'clock P. NJ, and there is rarely an
evening, except Sunday (when no one
calls but intimate friends, that a de-
lightful informal reception does not take
place in the red parlor. No other cere-
mony is necessary than to send in card
to Mrs. Hayes and the visitor is prompt
ly received. She always reads the
name carefully and fixes it in her mind,
as we'll as anything else which appears
on the card, which will serve to identify
or indiyidualize its owner. When visitors
enter she advances to meet them with a
kind smile of welcome and cordial grasp
Of the hand, as she calls them distinctly
by name. This makes the veriest stran-
ger feel as if among friends, and all for
mality is destroyed by Mrs. Hayes
pleasant way of introducing the newest
comers to some of those already in the
room, and starting conversation prompt
ly by some happy suggestion. She is SO
thoroughly of ease herself, and is evident
ly thinking entirely of how to make her
visitors enjoy themselves, that awkward
ness and embarrassment flee at her win
ming smile and CHEEKY voice. She in
variably contrives to give each person
an opportunity to converse with, and
always introduces strangers, especially,
to any distinguished persons who may
be present. Since Congress met the Pres
ident has rarely had an opportunity to
spend the evening with his wife and her
visitors. When he does he is her able
coadjutor, showing much the same tact
and adaptability, an even rarer quality
in man than in woman. Neither he,
his wife, or Miss Platt, his niece, who
spends most of her time at the White
House, ever seem at loss for reply to
any remark addressed to them, and it is
always rejoinder at once sprlghtly and
so worded as to make the first speaker
feel in some degree fattered by 1t; that
is to say, he or she feels'as if in the pres
ence of one who, without ever being pat
ronizing, was disposed to kindly appre-
ciation.- Washington Letter, May I'd.

DON'T DISPUTE.


The rule for living happily with 9TH
ers is to avoid having stock subjects of
disputation. 1t sometimes happens,
when people live much together, that
they come to have certain set topics,
around which, from frequent dispute,
there is such a growth of angry words,
mortified vanity and the like, that the
original subject of difference becomes
standing subject for quarrel; and there
is tendency in all minor disputes to
drift down to it.
If people wish to live we'll together,
they must not hold too much to logic,
and suppose that every thing is to be
settled by sufficient reason. DIR. john
son saw this clearly with regard to mar
ried people when he said: 'Wretched
would be the pair above all names of
wretchedness who should be doomed to
adjust by reason, every morning. all the
minute details of domestic day."
But the application should be much
more general than he made it, There
is no time for such reasonings, and moth
ing is worth them. Ard when We rec
ollect how two lawyers and two politi-
clans can 60 on contending, and that
there is no end of one-sided reasoning on
any subject, we shall not be sure that
such contention is the best mode for ar
irving at truth.
Certainly it is not the way to arrive
at good temper
But we see families forever disputing !!
it is spectacle that ought always to be
considered disgraceful; and, when the
members of those families come to regard
the question lightly, there must be hours
when each member feels the wrong and
discomfort of the practice.
The father and mother, perhaps, have
some question of dispute among them
selves which they will neither of them
stoop to settle in kindly and generous
way. They are both proud, naughty,
or, we should more truly say, stubborn,
and neither will yield an inch, both be-
ing positive of having the right on their
| side.
This creates habit of quarelousness
and quarrelsomeness which extends to
the children, and families of this charac-
ter are noted for their disagreeableness.
The lives they lead may be termed ''a
cat and dogs life;' though, indeed, we
have seen cats and dogs of the same
family, when not set at each other by
quarrelsome children, live very happily
together. These animals, of so different
habits and pursuits, and who hate each
other so viciously, will, when brought
together under the same roof, reconcile
their differences and become the best Of
friends.
We recommend their examples to the
consideration of the human, reasoning
beings who are brought together by some
of the circumstances of life, and who dt
take so much delight in disputing abou
trihes.
