too, at the air of profound gravity
with which the butler and other serv-
ants executed the duties assigned
them, however eccentric.
The dinnertime passed away in this
how Of innocent hilarity; and. though
the old hall may have resounded in its
time with many a scene of broader
rout and revel, yet doubt whether It
ever witnessed more honest and gen.
uine enjoyment. How easy 1t Is for one
benevolent being to diffuse pleasure
around him; and how truly rs a kind
heart fountain Of gladness. making
everything in its vicinity to freshen
into smiles: the Joyous disposition of
the worthy squire was perfectly con-

disposed to make all the world happy;

sweetness and philanthropy.
The chiIdren's Games.
After the dinner table was removed,

members of the family. who, prompted

about him as the mock sairies about
Falstaff; pinching him, plucking at the
skirts Of his coat, and tickling him

about thirteen. with her flaxen hair
all in beautiful confusion. her frolic
face in glow, her frock half torn of
her shoulders, a complete picture OF a

from the slyness with which Master

the consideration that these feeting

Queer Dinner Bell.

thwacking sound. which he informed
me was a signal for the serving up OF
the dinner. The squire kept up old
customs in kitchen as well as hall;
and the rolling-pin, struck upon the
dresser by the cook, summoned the
servants to carry in the meats. and
fixings.
The dinner was served up in the
great hall, where the squire always
held this Christmas banquet. A blaz-
ing, cracking fire of logs had been
heaped on. to warm the spacious
apartment, and the fame went spark
ling and wreathing up tho wide

was q display OF plate that might

merrime.-t and good cheer Of the serv-
ants hall. My father. you must know.
is a bigoted devotee of the old school,
and prides himself upon keeping up
something of old English hospitality.
He is a tolerable specimen Of what
you will rarely meet with nowadays
in its purity, the old English country
gentleman; for our men of fortune
spend so much of their time in town,
and fashion is carried 80 much into
the country, that the strong rich pc
culiarities of ancient rural life are al
most polished away.
my father was always scrupulous
in exacting our holidays, and having
US around him on family festivals.
He used to direct and superintend our
games with the strictness that some
parents do the studies of their chill
dren. He was very particular that We
should play the old English games &C
cording to their original form; and
consulted old books for precedent and
authority for every 'merrie sport
yet l assure you there never was ped.
antry 80 delightful. It was the policy
OF the good old gentleman to make
his children feel that home was the
happiest place in the world. and I
value this delicious home-feeling as
one Of the choicest gifts parent could
bestow."

gathered from the conversation of the

meant to represent the bearing in Of

served up with much ceremony and

great tables, on Christmas day. u
