About once year all the neighbors go aud pay an evenings visit to Aunt Mirandas. and it was such a one that we were fortunate enough to be present. and participate in the festivi- ties of the occasion. Dancing, singing and card playing were some of the fea- lures of the occasion, while fun ran riot. The bountitully supplied table, in the everything good, from dead rooster down, did not lack appreciation nor sup port. The music was excellent. and was supplied by neighboring talent-tho Peck I brothers, Marshall Sears and another gentleman whose name we did not learn, It was a late hour when the party broke up, and it was voted that 1t was a grand time. and all hoped that Aunt Miranda would live to see mary another like it. Everything was success except the prac- tical joke played upon your reporter by Msssrs. George Griffin and Henry Bots ford. and about this the house was de vided.

LYING IN THE SHADE.-The follow ing
is taken from Mrs. Aynsley's "Vist to
HIndostan :" Al UIwar, the political
agent wished to plant an avenue Of trees
on either side OF the road in front Of the
shops, for the purpose Of giving shade,
and had decided to put in peepul-trees,
which are considered sacred by the
Hindoos; but the 6lsaaiqhs (native shop
keepers one and all, declared that il
this were done they would not take the
shops, and when pressed for a reason,
replied: "It was because they could
not tell uniruths OF swear falsely under
their shade" adding, "How can We
carry on business otherwIseH' The
force Of this seems TO have been ac-
knowledged, as the point was not yield
ed, and other trees were planted in
stead. A few days later, when we
were at Delhi. had an opportunity Of
assuring myself of the correctness Of
this anecdote. A Hinio merchant
brought some goods for sale to the ban
gola where we were staying. His
wares being very dear. said 10 him.
Would you ask so much il you were
standing under q peePuI-lree He
replied, mo" I rejoined. Suppose
yourself m that position, and tell me
what, under those circumstances, would
be The price OF the articles that re-
quired !" The merchant at once named
