House Party.

There are housepsrtIes In which are gath
cred the gay and beautiful maldens and the
handsome youths rom city and country side.
1t ia very much in vogue TO call in these hap
py hearts, as II into q family, M TO turn

ful voices and the dance that In itself Is

thing Of the wiles Of the dance hall when he
wrote:
"Cume and trip It as you 60
On q light fantastic toe"
such a house party, with its aggregation of
youth and beauty Is the dream Of those on
pleasure bent, but we would mention another
house party which must be given precedence.
Reference is had TO the reunion of the family.
When the children Of one family have been
scattered by the vioisitudes Of fortune: when
some nave gone TO lands far distant, and
With strangers made their homes; when fl.
Their and mother are left around the old fire.

re-unites them In the family circle Is fraught
with pleasure that The angles might we'll
envy.
What II some have wandered from the
path OF right? What II some nave eaten OF
the husks with which swine are fed The
world may frown upon them, and for the
world they may wear q callous mask, but In
the family circle there is NJ mask, but a
unison Of hearts which like the violin pro.
duces purer and sweeter bhords with age. II
Is an unnatural heart that will forget the
brother or sister who rested upon the same
bosom, whether there be difference In wealth
station or morals. The family house party Is
or ought to be the house party Of greatest
pleasure.
Judge M. E. Hollingsworth, Of this city, has
just experienced the pleasure OF a family
house party. Happily. there were no prodi.
gals at this reunion. 1t was the gathering Of
q prosperous family.
Judge Hollingsworth is one OF the best f.
nanciers who ever graoed this or any other
city. After spending a good fortune In youth
he began In middle life TO gather up the frag.
mehts and TO build on them. 1t Is unusual
for q man TO rally after passing the meridian
Of life, but this is just what Judge Holdings.
