Concerning ParlOrs. Al If-.r. I

The word s'parlor" is the remnant of by gone state of things. The days gone past when Sir Charles Grandson made his state ly bow in the cedar parlor. ''There are no parlors now-a- days, my dear," said an old lady, whom we may call Mrs. Burlington, s'except, I believe, iu the public houses" We have dining rooms, drawing rooms, stu
 1ios, libraries smoking rooms, but the par Tor in the ordinary British mansion has al most become 8 thing of the past. It remains, in highly fossilized condition, as a venera- ble institution prized by the lower middle class. twill you walk into my parlor said the spider to the fy," and I always recognize the wretched feelings of that suicidal fly when I am invited into what people call parlor. Very probably it is only used on State occasions. The family may burrow in some subterranean apartment in the base ment. We perceive by hundreds of signs such a parlor is not living room, but dead room. It is full of stiff ness and angularities, hard chairs and still harder sofas The re- zion in which the parlor retains any vitality is the agricultural region. In multitudes of farm houses, and in some vicarages, this kind of apartment IS still found But the British farmer follows hard on the tracks of the squire and gives up the humber for the more ambitious nomenclature. It is the better class of laborer and the thriving ar tisan who are now aiming at the possession of parlors. Among them the parlor is really happy and an educating influence. So prevalent have been peace and plenty of recent years, that in the suburbs of great towns you may pass whole rows of tenements in which you may distin- guish pleasant parlors. with towering plants filling the windows and the sound of pianos clashing all down the row. Still, in special cases, the name of parlor yet sur vives and of these would say few words The parlor or parlour Lat. y0ra6O1are ; Fr.
 pGrGIer, 9arler,) as the name indicates, is a place wherein to converse. The waiting room of club is essentially parlor; in less formal, but more real, sense so is the smok- ing room. The old lady was perfectly cor rect in her allusion, which, however, was hardly to be expected of her, to public houses.
 It would have been more decent if she had
 talked about taverns. And what glorious talk there has been in tavern parlors before now. We think of Ben Johnson at the Mer maid and Sam Johnson at the Turks Head. There are still few wits and scholars who
 haunt the sanded parlors of hotels about Fleet street.
 'When all his warm heart, sherris warmed; Flashed forth in random speeches"
 Such men have felt and said that there is no throne like the easy chair of a tavern par Tor. Perhaps there are other attractions be- sides wit and liquor for tavern parlor. know great firm that advertises for pretty barmaids, and always sends them home at nights in a special conveyance, to be intrust- ed to the charge of a most respectable ma tron.

up his success by articles for the Rerie,C, of
that city. Translations occupied his attention
for some time, and he gave the public the

and 1886 he was engaged upon Gar
