dozen quick movements of the jaw and
the sandwich has disappeared. Coffee,
ham and business are SO mixed that
pleasure is not thought Of. Lunch is a
physical necessity, and generally count
ed, is a nuisance.
Dinner occupies rather a formal and
stately hour. It's theone meal when
strangers are present. Your client, or
the purchaser Of goods from the West,
or few choice friends, give it a cere-
monial character and robit of it's home
illness, using the word in its old Eng
lish sense. From the soup to the coffee
you are on your good behavior.
But breakfast is marked by domestic
abandon and delicious family gossip.
You are fresh after the nights sleep;
you have sharp Appetite; you are in
your dressing gown and slippers
those two greatest blessings of civiliza-
ton; the sun is streaming in through
the windows; the morning Herald has
just arrived with news from every cor
ner of the world; the steaming coffee
fills the room with it's aroma; the steak,
crowned with rasher of bacon, is done
to turn; you have a half hour of leis-
ure before the days work begins: you
sip your coffee, read the paper, listen
to the children's prattle and the wife's
plans, and you feel yourself a very
King in Paradise. @
The man who does not enjoy such a
breakfast has something wrong in his
make-up--is eft for stratagems and
spoils.'' By all odds the breakfast is
the best meal of the day.
What is difficulty? Only word in
dicating the degree of strength requi-
site for accomplishing particular OBJ
jects; a mere notice for the necessity
of exertion; a bugbear to children and
to fools !; but often stimulus to men.

WIN DSOR

One of the most pleasing events that ever
took place in this town, occurred on Decor
alton Day. Marcellus Vining Post l07, as
sembled at their headquarters at Z 30 o'clock
A. NJ. From thence they proceeded in teams
to the church on Windsor Neck, where the
Post was presented with a magnificent silk
flag, the gift of Daniel Vining, Esq, who
lost his two sons in the last war While Mr..
Vining, who is rs years old, was making the
presentation speech the large congregation
was visibly affected by the dramatic repro
duction of the scene between him and his
sons while at work in the field, their request
to join regiment, his Godspeed to them,
their parting. His description of the scene
brought tears to the eyes of some of the
strongest present. Well might the father be
proud of the sons. The colors were receiv-
ed BY Post Commander Francisco Col
burn with some very appropriate remarks.
After the presentation the Post marched to
the cemetery. At the grave of Lieut.. Vining,
the decoration services of the G. A. X. were
performed The singing of the choir under
the leadership of Miles Moody was excellent.
The Grafton by Rev. Mr.. Bickmore needs no
comments. 1t was one of the best ever de-
livered here. Too much cannot be said IN
praise of the Ladies' Relief Corps on this
occasion. As in the past their ready hands
and willing hearts rendered US valuable assis-
