After Dinner Speaking.

An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious, unless the speaker
Is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous
even when the speaker is full of frivolity
1t must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there he people who laugh
at Stiffness. 1t must not be too long
winded, or highly exciting. o overheayy,
or ultra argumeatative, or entirely sta
t~istical. or in the least An
after dinner speech should be appropriate
to the occasion and delivered on time
1t may contain somc essential thoughts,
some strokes of humor. some scrap Of
knowledge. some bits of fancy, some
sound reasons. solre good whims. some
green drcsc:n.; and a little fat.
Every ahl"i,odied r,an Of New York II
apt to be al after dinner speaker some
time in his lite. 1t is possible that rs
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea-
son. One man has a record Of i0ofr them
for a single week, three Of them for one
evening.
We hsese heard some tiptop after din
ner speeches. a few. We have heard
others that were wearisome, inappropri-
ate. exasperating. e~nfeebling or foolish.
We have heard several which were rant
or drivel.
A good many men have won renown
by making clever after dinner speeches.

A Novel Experiment.

A committee of prominent residents Of

clergymen, who are to nj the x
elusive sale of liquor, have issued the
following statement: I'VE win allow no
man to pay for another mans drink.
We will permit no drunkenness, nor any
approach to it. We will allow no one
apparently under the legal age within
our doors. We will sell to no man if by
the proper persons We are forbidden to
do so. To certain other persons, their
names to be passed upon by o majority
of the committee, we will not sell at all.
We win not sell spirits in larger quaint
ties than a single glass, except on a ply
sician's order, and of all such sales we
will keep q record. These and such
other wholesome rules as from time to
time we may deem desirable we will en-
force. Our entire profits, which will be
large, will be handed over as frequently
as possible to the town authorities, with
the understanding that they will be used
for the purpose of reducing the taxation

To make dali hours grow bright as flowers.

And pleasures bloom In lives Of gloom.
