earnestness, your thought and will, that
which ne cannot buy at any price, in any
village or city, and which he may we'll
travel fifty miles, and dine sparsely and
sleep bad, in order to behold. Certainly,
let the board be spread, and the bed be
dressed for the traveller; but let not the
emphasis of hospitality lie in these things"
Physicians say, that to eat second time,
after the appetite has been already satisfied
is very pernicious custom, and the cause
of half the dyspepsia of the day. Although
we often have guests whom we would
gladly feast upon nectar and ambrosia, if
nectar and ambrosia were obtainable in our
town, yet if we cannot give them nectar in
their fruit, we believe that the custom of
having dessert " is more honored by the
breach than the observance. The truth
of the matter is, most persons in America
when they have visitors, change their style
of living, and 60 to much extra trouble
and expense, not so much to crafty their
visitors as to satisfy their pride, SO that /
do not wonder that visitors are dreaded in
many families. II we did this your uncle
and [ could not afford to have visitors at
all but we always enjoy having our friends
with us, We always have light supper
stewed oysters, dried beef, cracked wheat,
gems, or biscuits of unbolted bread, and
always fish. Ofcourse we try to study the
tastes of our guests if they have favorite
dishes; it is great pleasure to prepare
them for them; but if guests come unex-
pectedly, we do not hesitate to ask them to
sit down to very plain fare. SIS not the
life more than bread ?" Kindness and
sympathy, and cordially, are more to our
guests than tables laden with Injuries.
Very often, instead of being able to enjoy
the society Of those we visit, out of mis-
taken kindness and compliment 10 US, they
expend their time in the kitchen preparing
dishes we would not touch, except out of
compliment to them, and when they leave
their kitchens they are too much fatigued
by their unaccustomed labor, too tired to
visit or to talk with us. If housekeepers
would only be sensible about these things,
would put this foolish, have said wicked,
pride of appearances away from them; live
strictly in accordance with their incomes
when they are alone, and when they have
company, | believe the pleasure and hap
piness they would gain from the society Of
their friends would amply repay them for
the sacrifice of their pride.

We give our visitors the freedom of the

do as they please walk out with them, if
possible; if not give them music, pictures
