Scandinavian Hospitality.


AS in all other countries that re-
tain primitive habits, hospitality in
Scandinavia always implies eating
and drinking. The poorest farmer or
fisherman always has something to
offer the visitor, and lack Of appetite
Is generally construed as a slight.
The author mentions one occasion on
which, to avoid hurting any ones
feelings, he ate thirty times in two
days, and drank thirty-four cups Of
coffee. Often strong cheese is offered
just before meal to provoke appe-
tite, and in the cities a formal din.

and comfort US, while the busy world
wags on. God bless the preachers of
the land-the preachers of every
creed that teaches love to our Creator
and love and kindness to one another.
Nevertheless, | sometimes feel sorry
for the preachers children, for the

The wrong Girl.

Gently on, but with that sublime as.
snrance which distinguishes the, Ia.
de-dah young man of the day, he was
paying attention to the prettiest girl
in. Detroit. He managed by not pay

take'her to operas and theaters, but
as times were getting hard he con
cluded to marry her and save the ex,
pensc of boarding. Bysome process
Of mental. arithmetic known to the
genus he decided that what was not
enough for ohe was enough for two,
and forthwith he concluded to pop.
He knew that his persistent visits
had kept all : the other young men
away, 50 he had no fears of a trial.
When the time cametand he found
himself in the company Of his Laura
in her papa's;comfortable parlor, he
leisurely seated himself by her on
ahe sofa,s took ller little dimpleahand
traieed only to tinkle the piano with,
and said in bronze voice:

should. Then be resumed, grandjlo-
Fquently: d want dear, little girl
about your size, with great big
heart just'like yours, 10 share my
lot" h.
"Isjt on Jefferson avenuo?" MUIR

.."No, dearest, it is on Croghan
street.. but what are localities to
hearts that love? l want a girl who
is good.tempered, smart, economical,
and who loves me! Darling, do you
know of such a one7"
Laura, family: "Yes, oh yes, l am
sure l do"
"0ne who would rather live with
me in poverty than dwell with some
other men in riches? Who would
esteem it pleasure to serve me, cook
my meals, keep the house tidy, and
listen for my footsteps? Who would
rise early and sit up late for my
sake?'
"Oh, how beautiful" murmured
Laura; "just like a dear, selfsacrific-
ing mani"
"Do you know such a one, my
angel?"
"Yes, do," responded Laura, fer
vently; "but you must not call me
your angel, for she might not like it;
she's in the kitchen now washing
dishes, and she told mother this morn
ing she'd just as leave get married
this winter as live out, if she only
felt able to support husband. She's
just the girl you want, and she'll love
you within an inch of your life."
But Augustus Smythe had fled in
to the outer darkness; the too much
ness Of the occasion overcame him
like summer cloud.-DetroH Post.

Girls ana Spending Money.

Many girl is careless as 10 how
much money young man spends for
her. Three and five dollars for d
horse and carriage he can poorly af-
ford, perhaps; yet she will go with

lar interest in him, unmindful, ap-
parently, whether he earns the mon.
ey or takes it from his employers
drawer. lie makes her expensive
presents. He takes her to a concert,
in going to which usually, save for
her pride and his gallantry, q horse
car ride for ten cents would be fur
wiser than u carriage ride for several
dollars. A young man respects q
young woman all the more who is
careful of the way in which he
spends his money, and will not per-
nit too much TO be used for herself.
A thoughtful and well-bred girl will
be wise about these matters.

that courting is public necessity,
and must pot: be interrupted; there
fore if u young man wanted to kiss.a
girl he might put her father o1t Of
the room first ifhe liked"
The publication ofthis article may
cause somesmart young man do some
thing he will regret. The sickly-
looking father of a girl may come in
to the parlor some night and find the
warm haired youth on the sofa with
the girl, aud when the old man
speaks Of it being time to put u stop
to such nonsense; the young man
with the above judicial decision in
his head, will tell his prospective
father'in-law to wipe of his vest and
go 10 bed. The old man will then
spit on his hands and grasp the warm,
haired young man by the county seat
and Tie him in a double bow.knot,
and pin a scarfpin on him and throw
him out on the path to the gate, and
then he will turn and slap the girl
where the dress is pleated, and she
will go up stairs with her hand on
her heart, as it were. The young men
of this country have gall enough
about visiting girls in the evening
at their homes, without filling their
heads with any such ideas in regard
to their legal rights. There are very
few fathers that would quietly sub
nit to being told to go away by a
young man in striped necktie and
pants too short at the bottom. These
sparkers are looked upon by parents
generally as a nuisance, and often
they are right. Nine-tenths Of the
sparkling is done by boys who havn't
got their growth, and they look SC
green that it is laughable to the ole
folks to look at them. And yet mar
rying is about the first thing they
think of. A green young man with
out dollar, present or prospective
sparkling girl and talking about
marrying is spectacle for gods ahc
men. He should be reasoned with
and if he will not quit until he il
able to support wife, and to know
how he loves and the difference be
tween love and passion, he should b,
quarantined, or put in a conven
erected on purpose for suct
cases. Nine tenths Of the unhappy
marriages are the result Of green hu
man calves being allowed to run a
large in the society pasture withou
any yoke on them. They marry
and have children before they do
moustache; they are fathers of twin
before they are .proprietors of tw,
pairs of pants, and the little girl
they marry are old women befor
they are twenty years old, occa
