A Lamnntahlo Lot.

The woman who cannot grow old is
jealous of her own children, and keeps
aloof from them. She makes love while
her son is making love. She beams and
lowers her voice and steps out as grace
fully as she can, and she is not unwill-
ing that her figure should be compared
with the figure of her sons lady ac-
quaintances. Her morals are ire
proachable She never did a wrong !;
but that is not the fault of her dear, gar
rulous husband, who never knew how to
make love to her. She wishes that
some young fellow would make love to
her, but she seldom finds him. When
she does, her siInpering folly calls
bushes to the checks of her children,
while the young m lanaughs at her

After Dinner Speaking.

Why have this eternal speech making
when we meet on social OccasiOnS2 Can
we not enjoy each others company, and
the good things of this life at the same
time, without having some person, or
persons, pour over the feast, not the wine
of wit and good friendship, but the cold
water Of political and moral plattuGes to
dampen our enthusiasm. 1t would seem
not, for no sooner are we pleasantly set
tied to our first cigar and to an agreea-
BILE ohit-chat and interchange OF courte-
sizes with those around us, when some
body is called for speech and straight
way the slow martyrdOm begins.
But the hearers are not the only sur
ferers. The speakers themseIye often
times endure the utmost torture. OBJ
serve the man throughout q dinner who
expects to be called to his feet when that
dark barrier the cafe ssOSr is passed.
See how distracted, how nervous ne Is.
He makes mere pretense of eating, and
takes little interest in what 1s going on
around him. When his opposite neigh
Dor tests on some topic of common ac-
quaintance and interest, he replies III
wild and whirling words, and when
he is asked to pass the stan OF Life he
complies with the request by presenting
his astOnished interlOcutor with q stalk
of celery. He is evidently going over in
his mind the speech he wrote out last
night. and is in fear lest his memory
should prove Enthusiastically when the
critical moment arrives. He doesn't en-
Joy his dinner. ....-.
All things considered then, the custom
of after dinner speaking could be drop
ped, except on some rare occasions, with
great benefit to all concerned. Its abol-
ishment would certainly further that
good digestion which should always wait
on appetite and give pertinency to the
aIIhOrism: BLESSED are they who have
nothing to say, for they say nothing. -

HOW ladies Dress in PorsIn.

She wore q bright red satin skirt,
richly embroideredw with gold lace; it was
very full and short, barely reaching to
her knees; a loose jacket of blue velvet,
also much trimmed-this time with sill
yer lace; the sleeves were made of cash
mere shawl buttoned by about twenty
small bRttoas. She wore several neck
laces, most of them very massive, stud
ded with fine turquoises. On her head
r she wore white shawl, with band Of
Jewels round her forehead, and at one
side a large pearl star. She had on both
arms at least dozen bracelets-som
handsome ones, some only bands of col
Ored glass. Her feet were covered with
coarse white socks; her shoes green
leather with scarlet heels. Some of the
ladies wore bright red trouserB, reaching
to the ankle; but this was quite the ex-
ceptiOn. They wear a long veil, reaching
from head to foot, generally made of some
smart print of muslin. / ought to men,
ton that every lady wore small leather
case around her neck, containing some
earth from Mecca and verses from the
Koran. The faces of my hostess and
friends were much decorated, the eye
brows broadened and carried quite across
the nose. Some had small designs tat
tooed on the cheeks. The hair is very
long and thick, generally died red; it is
worn plated in many thin tails, twisted
with gold thread. The hands are well
shaped, but nails and palms are stained
dark red.-IGRStey's Magazine.

FAYOrite Books.

cit has been said that man may be
known by the company he keeps in his
books. Millions favorits volumes were
Homer, Ovid and Euripides. Dante's
was Virgil; Schillar's was Shakespeare;
Gray's was Spencer; Goethes was Spi-
nozas Ethics; Bunyan's was the old le-
gend of Sir Bevis of Southampton,
which in all probability gave him the
first idea of his Pilgrims Progress.
The two books which most impressed
John Wesley, when 3 young man, were
the Imitation Of Christ and Taylor
Holy Living and Dying DeQuincey's
fayorite few were Dome, ChilingswOrth,
Jeremy Taylor, Milton, South Barrow
and Sir Thomas Browne. He described
these seven writer's as "a constellation OF
seven golden stars, such as no literature
can match and from whose works he
would undertake 'to build up an entire
body of philosophy
NAPOLEON never wearied of reading
'Ossian Poems and the Sorrows of
Werther.' His range included Homer,
Vigil, TasSO, novels of all countries, his
tories of all times.
''The book which makes deep impress
sion on young mans mind often con-
stitutes an epoch in his life. The hear
ing of an ode awakened the genius OF
La Fontaine. 1t was the reading of the
'Fnerie. Queen' that first lit the poetic fire
of Keats. BeIltham regarded 'Felema-
chus us the foundation-stone of his
whole character. a love of books, says
Thomas Hood, preserve me from moral
sllipwreck. The great scholar Erasmus
says, 4 can never read the works of
Cicero ON old Age or Friendship

Chewing Snuf.

s'Of late years." says Mr.. Joseph
Bruton, who does lucrative business
in selling snuff for chewing purposes,
81 have abandoned selling tobacco or
snuff for the nostrils. I confne myself
solely to the chewing snuf, and this
keeps me almost constantly drumming
in the South. Not that snuff chewing
is altogether unknown In the North and
Fast. In New York city more than
500 600 worth of chewing snuff is used
yearly, every ounce of which Is con
sumed by women, and in the New En-
giaDd factory towns upward Of $500, 900
worth OF snuff is chewed, or dipped,
rs it is called, by the women employed
Mt manual labor.
g But all this Is nothing to the extent
to which chewing snuff Is used In the
South. The men chew it freely enough,
but the great bulk that We send there
(for all, or nearly all, comes from here)
Is consumed by women. Among the
working people it is done openly, but in
higher society they are little ashamed
of it.
"Do think that chewing snuff is an
injurious habit ? Well, that is hardly a
fair question but I never do it myself
etoept in the way Of business, "-NslD

An almost perfect house has been late
ly disentombed at Pompeii. It Is the
best preserved of all the Roman dwell
ings hitherto discovered. There are two
atria and q very spacious peristyle, in
the middle of which there is an orna-
mental fountain There Is also COM
plete bath, which must assist in clearing
up some of the doubtful points concern
ing the arrangement of Roman baths.
The paintings IN the interior of the house
were executed with considerable taste,
and they are in good preservation.
Those ON the first floor, representing
for the most part marine animals, are
especially interesting. The frescoes al
so, which are contained in the wings of
the building, are excellent representa-
tons of scenes from animal life.

CemeteriHs.

The old system of cutting cemetery
grounds into small lots surrounded by
hedges bids fair to pass away entirely.
All over the country the park landscape
or lawn system Is gaining favor. 1t con-
sists in a series of plantations of shrubs
and trees, 50 arranged that the effect of
the entire cemetery, from the main
drives, is that of an extensive paralk,
evidence of existing burial grounds be-
ing shut of by foliage. OF course, in
this system, the hedge-and-fence mon
strosity finds no place. Vaults or oata-
combs are excaYated in the hillsides,
and memorial buildings of all kinds
erected in retired hooks. More land is
required for this arrangement, but its
attractive, rural character seems to COM
mend it to all.

Amusing Each Other.

At large dinner party in Me- York
a gentleman was requested to take in q
lady between whose family and his own
u quarrel and lawsuit had been pending
for several years. The gentleman com
piled, with bow and a smile, and con-
versation between him and the lady
seemed to be more than usually brisk
and lively during the sixteen courses
that go to make up a fashionable dinner.
AT the close of the evening the host, whe
had been enlightened, in the meantime,
as to the existing relations between his
guests, apologized to the gentleman for
the blunder he had made. cit is of no
sort of consequence, my dear fellow"
was the reply; st have taken that LADY
into dinner Eve times this winter, and
we pass each other the next day without
even q bow of recognition. In all prob
ability the breach will never be healed,
but we shall continue to amuse teacI
other at dinner parties as long~as on
friends persist in seating US side By

Gathered around my fathers hearth,

Though many year since then has passed..
