HOSDitality.

In the first days of the republic q
series Of entertainments was inaugural
ed in Philadelphia, in which dozen CT
twenty gentlemen met once week at
each others houses in turn to take sup
per. That wit and wisdom were not
wanting in these meetings we may know
from the fact that Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Talleyrand, keenest-witted Of
Frenchmen, the fiery, brilliant Judge
Mexican, and the courtly Charles Car
roll were among the guests from time to
time.
So noted did these weekly little assem-
bles become. in fact, that every for
eigner or stranger of distinction visiting
Philadelphia sought for an invitation to
them as o means of gaining a knowledge
of the finest social product which the
capital of the new nation afforded.
A few months ago some curious docu-
ments came to light in Philadelphia.
Among them was memorandum made
by member of this club of the cost OF
these entertainments, with the items,
which, as rule, consisted of oysters,
cheese, crackers and liquor. The ex-
pense of the most pretentious supper, at
which twenty gentlemen sat down, did
not exceed Sc. The statesmen, wits and
scholars who met there to exchange
their ideas did not regard the enter.
tain1nent as matter Of the stomach, but

Hospitality, in this country, has come
to signify merely the giving Of meal.
It has taken its lowest and coarsess
meaning for us. In France, the highest
members Of the ancie,a regime met in
the stately old salons, evening after
evening, where eGu-sucre and little
cakes were the only entertainment Of
fered, but where De Stael, Chateau
BRAND and their friends served an intel
lectual banquet such as the world sell
dom has equaled. 1t is undoubtedly
right to set before our guests as
choice food as we can afford, but we
should remember that feeding is not
hospitality. sq M

thought, to welcome him to our habits

( ing pretentious meal induces many
families to shut their doors on all
guests. They will not receive their
friends if they cannot treat them to a
display of rare dishes and curious pot

where the table is always simply and
prettily set, and where cover is invari-
bly, laid for the occasional stranger,
When he comes, however humble the
fare (and it has been reduced to bread,
butter and milky, he is welcome, and

hospitality.

Cold Feet.

), The connection between the head and
feet is well known. A hot head is or
dinarily relieved by hot foot-bath. So
cold feet tend to longest the brain and
other internal organs.
We have known persons so accustomed
to cold feet as to make no effort to warm
them. In such cases there is either an
imperfect digestion, or feeble action
of the heart, or low physical state gen.
orally.
The whole system Of such persons
needs to be invigorated by careful ex-
ercise in the open air, by q generous
diet, by thorough friction of the skin,
and perhaps by brief use of medicine
helping the stomach and quickening the
liver.
Sometimes cold feet come from over
action of the brain. In such case the
person must use his brain less and his
legs more, not by "spurts, but habitu-
ally. He should take at least two solid
hours from his study, his sanctum, his
Office, or. his counting-room, and put
them into such exercise as will send the
blood at each heartbeat warm and
strong to the tips of his toes and that,
too, without any violent exertion.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
tight lacing or tight-ftting shoes. But
it is as much suicidal act to hasten
death by COMPRISING the lungs or the
feet as by COMPRISING the neck with q
rope. The God of physiology is the
final judge.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
thin shoes-the owners of which must
be left to die as the fool dieth. Some
times they come from carelessness in
the matter of overshoes and wet feet, q
carelessness for which, in the case Of
children, mothers are largely responsible.
It is the duty of the latter to train their
girls to right habits based on right ideas,
inculcated from carly childhood.
If the rising generation will keep
their feet warm, there will be marked
diminution in the general death-rate.

L Dispute in the Lime. Kiln Club.

The Committee on Harmony reported
that they had investigated the matter of
difference between Col. Darius Shingle-
ton and Judge Gonedown Bross, both
local members, but was unable to bridge
the gulf between them. The Colonel
had sent the Judge challenge, which
had been accepted, and q deadly meet
ing between the two was imminent.
"Will de parties named please step

arose.
The Colonel and Judge made their ap-
pearance on the floor. "Now, den, I

face was a perfect insurance company
it insured her against ever getting mar

mouth looked like crack in dried
lemon, and there was no more express
sion in her face than there is in q cup Of
cold custard. She appeared as though
she had been through one famine end
had got about two-thirds through an
other. She was old enough to, be great
grandmother to Mary that had the little
lamb. She was chewing prize pop corn,
and carried yellow rose, with band
box and cotton umbrella nestled sweetly
by her side. I couldn't guess whether
she was on mission of charity or going
West to start saw-mill. Il was full OF
curiosity to hear her speak, so I said
"The exigencies of the times require
great circumspection in person who is

Says she, "What?"
Says I, "The orb Of day shines re-
splendent in the vault above"
She hitched around uneasy-ike then
she raised her umbrella and said: 81

Then I took seat alongside of male
fellow, who looked like a ghost of Ham

cause it is pious animal and never eats

He took this for irony, and what little

When we got to Rochester called for
bowl of soup. I send you the recipe
for making it: Take q lot Of water,
wash it well, and boil it until it is brown
on both sides, then carefully pour one
bean into it and let it simmer. When
the bean begins to get restless sweeten
it with salt, then put it up in alright
cans, hitch each can to brick and
chuck them overheard, and the strip is
done.
The above recipe originated with a
man in Iowa who got up suppers on odd
occasions for Odd Fellows. He had a
recipe for oyster soup, leaving out the
salt. ~

1t was under circumstances like
these that Mrs. Glenham, who
had little genuine fortitude of char
| acter, received Mr.. Wentworth let.
ter. 1t contained a reiteration of his
| offer of marriage to Ellen, accom-
panied by suggestion that in the
event of his alliance with the family,
it would, of course, be his pleasure, as
well as his duty, to restore them to the
condition they had formerly occupied,
| to reinstate them in their old mansion,
and furnish them literally with the
means of sustaining their position.
An exclamation of JOY from Mrs.
Glenham was the first announcement
of the character of the communica-
ton. When it was made known to
Ellen, deadly pallor overspread her
face and she trembled violently, as
! if some internal prescience had told
her it was the knell of her hopes.
What should,she do? She candid.
ly avowed the truth to her mother
and sisters. She told them not only
was it impossible for her to feel the
remotest affection for the man who
thus took advantage of their mis-
fortunes to press his suit, but that
her heart was preoccupied by an
others image. Mrs. Glenham's anger
4 on hearing this avowal was with
out bounds. She charged her daughter
with ingratitude alas, how selfish are
we made by suffering! told her that
she would be the murderer of her
father and mother if she did not &C.

appealed to every feeling Of self-sac-
rifice in her nature, to rescue them by
single. word, as she could do, from
degradation. squalor and daily in
dignities and privations. Ellen turned
her pale face to her sisters. They
said nothing until their mother had
gone; but then, with a generosity
| that did more to shake her resolution
than all her pleadings could have done
| they besought her to withstand the
Temptation which had been presented
to keep sacred the shrine of her af

of death, to adhere to the promise
| implied if not avowed, which she had
