The very best and kindest way in which TO
look at the faults of your friends is to shut
your eyes.
If man is honest he docs not need to tell

still, but sly dishonesty has a very busy
! tongue.
No Jest can be quite so bitter as that one
which runs laughingly along on the edge Of
an ugly truth.
Fuller very beautifully said that 'he who
spends all his life in sport is like one who

A debt is very stubborn thing and always
succeeds in having its own way. The more

There is no doubt that the honeymoon was
so called because of its close resemblance to
| the sweet product of the bee. 1t may also be
said to resemble the honeycomb, with this
| slight difference however, that the honey
comb is made up of little cells, while the hon
| eymoon is sometimes regarded one great
| sell.
! There is kind of logic by which the most
cheerful man can be proven to be morally
| the worst The murderers who expiate their
crimes on the gallows have taken life, and
perhaps had, during the leisure which the
| Jail afforded, strange compunctions of con-
science The cheerful man, however. is one
who takes life easily and has no compunc-
| tions whatever.
A clock is about the only thing in the world
| which manages to go all the better when its
affairs ARE wound up. There are some men,
however who have very carefully studied
this popularity Of the clock and transferred
it to some extent to their own business ar
rangements. They have happy faculty of
being worth nothing when their creditors be-
come camorous and demand a settlement,
but the very moment their affairs are wound
| up, away they go, cheerfully as ever, on tick,
on tick, on tick.
We have heard of an eloquent soliloquy by
gifted fly who was reviewing his past, which
may have wider application than is at first
seen. "Ah, it said, Il have passed through
the Matching age and through the creeping
age and through the flying age, and now, alas !!
am right in the midst of the mucilage."
And there he is to-day, dead fly.

That TINE G. WAsHINGToN WAS KNOCKED
DowN,-The grandfather of Mrs. Langhone,
who died recently in Kentucky, was William
Payne of Fairfax county, Va, of whom Col
lins's history of Kentucky preserves the fol-
lowing incident At the time Gen. Washing
ton was stationed at Alexandria, Va, as a col
ouel of a British regiment, before the war of
the Revolution, an alteration took place in
the courthouse yard between him and Will
liam Payne, in which Payne knocked Wash
iugtOu down. Great excitement prevailed, as
Payne was known to be firm and Washington
was beloved by all. A nights reflection
satisfied Washington that he was the aggres-
sor and in the wrong and in the morning he,
like a true and magnanimous hero, sought an
interview with Payne, which resulted in an
apology from Washington and a warm and
lasting friendship between the two founded
on mutual esteem. During the Revolutionary
war, while Washington was on a visit to his
family, William Payne with his son, DeVall,
went to Rpy his respects to the great Ameri-
can chief. Gen. Washington met him some
distance from the house, took him by the
hand and led him into the presence of Mrs.
Washington, 10 whom he introduced Mr..
Payne as follows MY dear here is the lit
tie man whom you have so frequently heard
me speak Of who once had the courage to
knock me down in the courthouse yard at
Alexandria, big rs / am"

THE STURDY OLD SETTLERS OF NEW York,
the primeval Dutchmen, from whom has de-
scend,d so much of the wealth and respecta-
bility that now adorns the great city, were
peculiar generation. Their houses were
model of simplicity. The white floors were
spriukled with clean sand, drawn into vari-
Gus figures by the broom. Large tables and
high backed chairs of walnut or mahogany,
decorated with brass nails along the leathern
back and cushioned seat, furnsed the parlor
'genteely enough for anybody" Pewter
plates and dishes were in general use, and it
was n long time before they gave place to the
china and earthenware that had been intro
duced into the city. They had no taste for
the new-fashioned fantastic novelties, and
their shining pewter dishes, porringers and
tankards, which are still kept in some ancient
Dutch families, are "a sight to behold" Sill
yer plate, more or less, was to be seen in ev-
cry household and was preserved Ms an heir
loom. Glass was but little used. All liquors
were drawn from the wood, for they did not
even know the distinction between wines in
wood and wines in glass. Madeira was only
used on great occasions, such as the birth of
a child, a marriage, or funeral. When
young man of any wealth was about to be
married, the first thing was to import pipe
of the best Madeira, n portion of which was
drunk at his wedding, another portion ON the
birth of his first son, and the remainder was
stored away in the cellar to be used at his
funeral The entertainment at dinner par
ty about a hundred years ago consisted of
punches, hot and cold. before dinner excel
lent beef and pork, au abundance of other
substantial fare, and at the dinner spruce
beer, cider, and Philadelphia porter were
drunk After the meats dessert of pud-
dngs and pies with sherry and Bordeaux
wines. Tea drinking was great favorte
among the ladies, although custom of COM
paratively recent origin. A matron at that
time would drink tea with her friends, return
home by candle-lighting tie on her check
apron, put her children to bed, and then pass
the evening in company with her husband, to-
gether with some friend or neighbor who
might drop in to chat for an hour. Things
have bavely altered since those days, and we
are nearer no doubt to the millennium.
