KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS.
a House Servant Who Held His
Masters Guests Right
Down to Rules.


In an old biography of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which
gives a significant hint of the discipline
to which young people were subject in
that earlier day.
Several of the great jurist's nieces
were in the habit of visiting him. and as
they were young and attractive, the
house became rendezvous for the
leading young men of the city during
the afternoons. Judge Marshall's black
majordomo, old Uncle Joseph, held n
tight rein upon these visitors. Every
day at four o'clock he would appear at
the door of the drawing-room in spot
less livery, and with a profound bow
would announce:
Ladies, his honor, the chief Justice
has retired to his room to prepare for
dinner.
Gentlemen. dinner win be served at
half past four o'clock il is now four
His honor will be pleased if YOU will re-
main, and covers have been laid for you
a the table. If you cannot remain. will
you permit the young ladies to retire to
prepare fer the meal?"
The gentlemen usually took their
leave. and the ladies retired IN an ill
humor; but any remonstrance with
Joseph was only answered by: 1T is
the rule of the house. Young folks must
be kept within bounds
In Virginia houses OF the better class,
notwithstanding their almost bound
less hospitality, the calls of young men
in that day were strictly held within
limit. No one was received as visitor
to an unmarried girl unless his ante
cedents and character were well known
TO her parents.
If his visit was prolonged until after
ten o'clock, the invitation to family
prayers was given. If lie seemed likely
to become an habitue of the house, and
so ( . engage the thoughts, and perhaps
in time the affection, of the young girl
who was its chief treasure. her father
quietly asked the purport of his visits:
and il he had none, other than his own
amusement. courtcously requested him
tc discontinue his calls.-Youth's Com
panion.

But when they come in pairs, the stars each
glad refrain prolong.

And angels, with their harps of light, go

AS walking hand In hand they stray the

For each in each has found a self so linked

About the cherished hearth and home
