CHAPTER II.
AT THE CLUB,

Goodwin was punctual. The dinner,
which was promptly served. reflected
credit on the chef of the Rensselaer,. 1t
was not very elaborate, but it was very
dainty and needlessly expensive, as it
seemed to Goodwin, who had simple tastes.
and had always lived within his means.
There were four kinds of wine-sherry,
Chablis, Burgundy and champagne-al of
the best cru, and the dishes were luscious.
"You are an epicure," remarked Goodwin
to Archer, as they were finishing their
third course "more of an one than when
we used to live in the PalGis Royal"

getting the best dishes admirably served
here and one can't be sure of this any.
where else, except in Paris. London, st.
Petersburg, Baltimore, New Orleans, San
Francisco, and some other cities have their
gastronomic merits but they can't be de-
pended on as New York and Paris can.
The most desirable thing for man to have
is fine appetite with perfect means to
crafty it. 1 would rather -"

CHAPTER III.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.


The clocks were striking the half-hour
after when Goodwin walked up the ever
recurring brown. stone steps of conspicu-
ous high-stoop house in Fortieth street,
and pulled the bell. One of those achingly
genteel mulattoes, with whom fashionable
New York is bountifully favored, opened
the door for him and took his card
with the air of yellow Rochefoucauld.
Having been benignantly directed to the
drawing-r room, he found Mrs. Royden, her
daughter, Miss Elise Northrup, De Witt
Yardley, Miss Grayson and Norman Kin
mont talking together in circle. Room
was made for him, and as he sat silent for
few seconds after exchanging the ordi.
nary courtesies, he could not help thinking
that the sole daughter of the house had a
very pleasant home. The room was quiet
ly but elegantly furnished everything was
low-toned in color, with various pictures
and engravings on the walls, and several
marbles and bronzes effectively placed.
An open cannel-coal fire burned in the
CRATES, intended evidently for the eye
rather than for comfort. The weather was
cold without but there was such warmth
and luxury and refinement within that he
wondered when the pale, pensive blonde
whom he had called to see would have such
home of her own.
"Never," he said to himself, "if she be
destined for that hideous foreigner" He
was reused from his revery by Mrs. Roy.

in, Mr.. Goodwin, of foreign missions, and

In fact, my opinion is just the REVERSE"
"You must be prejudiced. VIII you
kindly tell me how your opinion has been
obtained."
"Mainly by travel; by seeing how much
money is wasted in that way. Pardon my
candor, madam 1 should not have put it
forward, had not been asked"
I hope you believe in religion, Mr..
Goodwin"
Religion is a very vague term. / sup

yours"

"You and DIR. Archer" interposed Miss
Royden, with the tact that all really fine
women possess, care, I understand, old
friends. esteem him very much, and it
is genuine pleasure to meet any of his
friends at any time. You first met abroad,
did you not p
" Yes. We get on very well together,
because we indulge in the uncommon lux.
ury of mutual candor. Some of our views
are alike; but more of them are unlike"
I" Does DIR. Archer" broke in Mrs.
Royden, "share your opinions on reli-
gion q

stantially?"
" And what are his opinions:' %

temptible. Demagogues fatter them to
use them, and then despise them for being
used. Northrup does rot, am sure, be.
ieve word he says. There's an irrecon-
cilable antipathy between every gentleman
and the People. A genuine gentleman
never breathes congenial atmosphere in
the United States. If born here, he has
to go abroad to feel at home. I've often
been sorry that I was born in America"
alt may be, replied Goodwin, "that
your sorrow is shared by many of your
countrymen. The word gentleman is very
indefinite; but / have Eever understood
depreciation of ones native land to be a
necessary trait of gentleman. A gentle.
man must be man, fancy, before he can
be a gentleman though, 1 suppose, there
may be gentlemen who are neither men
nor gentle. Tastes differ, Mr.. Royden.
I've spent years abroad, and the longer 1
stayed there, the better liked America. l
deserve no credit for being an American,
since / could not very well help it; but there
is nothing am prouder of than of being an
American by six generations.
Royden's face flushed at the words; but
they were delivered in SO quiet, SO imper-
sonal manner, that he could hardly take
exception to them. He stammered in con.
fusion for few seconds, and then in
tone intended to be satirical-'t AS you
have observed, Mr.. Goodwin, tastes differ.
There are gentlemen and gentlemen.
$50 perceive"
Royden then changed his seat. joining a
group OF three young fellows, smartly
dressed, laughing loud and swearing, ever
and anon, by way of emphasis. They had
evidently been dining literally, and Roy
den addressed them with" Let's have
drink, boys" and rang the bell. They
readily accepted, and the four were unan.

members have no conception OF the char
acter. Some of them are devoid of any
sense of honor. It's the same in all the
clubs it's as true of London and Paris as
of New York"
"I've found it so, Archer. In nearly
every club there are men to whom one can
hardly speak without certain loss of self.

bers of one of the most exclusive clubs in
London, who were generally known to have
beaten their wives. And an officer of o

er's name. But those men were not ex-
PEELED, nor was there any movement to
expel them"
81 can well believe it, Goodwin. / will
venture to say that at least hundred of
our members ought to be expelled on gen.
eral principles-you can imagine SO from
some things you have heard this evening
but as rule, nobody ia expelled. We've
tried in vain to get rid of some fellows
whose habits and general behavior were
disgraceful. But we couldn't. So long
as man does not violate some rule of the
club, and continues to keep out of State
Prison, he is in little danger of being ex-
PEELED. ALI this babble about clubs and
gentlemen is humbug."
"While on this subject, aren't you sur
prised, Archer, to hear Philip Royden talk
as he does!''
Yes, rather; but it's probably becaus
I don's know him. Ny acquaintance with
him is slight. He is one of many young

No Hunting This Year.

II may not be generally known,
but the last Legislature passed bill
prohibiting the killing, trapping
sharing, shooting or hunting of all
game, protected by law. until the fall
of 1882. AS Christian is one OF foul
counties in the State to which spec
ial act applies, forbidding hunting
until Nov. LIST, no game can be legally
hunted in this county until Nov. |
1882. This bill was passed in order
that the stock of birds might have
two years to multiply, as they ar,
usually shot in such large numbers
that they are gettingvery scare. The
authorities should see that tho law
Of the State are enforced and all per
