Queer Dinner Bell.

| had finished my toilet and was
lettering with Frank Bracebridge in
the library, when we heard a distinct
thwacking sound, which he informed
me was signal for the serving up of
the dinner. The squire kept up old
customs in kitchen as we'll as hall;
and the rolling-pin, struck upon the
dresser by the cook, summoned the
servants to carry in the meats and
f1xings.
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 flame went spark
ling and wreathing up the wide
mouthed chimney. On the sideboard
was display of plate that might
have We'd Cat least in Variety with
Belshazzar's parade of the vessels of
the temple: "Flagons, cans, cups, beak-
ers, goblets, basins, and ewers;" the
gorgeous utensils of good compan.
lonship that had gradually accumulated
through many generations of jovial
housekeepers. Before these stood
the two Yule candles, beaming like
two stars of the first magnitude; 9TH
er lights were distributed in branches,
and the whole array glistened like a
armament of silver.
We were ushered into this banquet

stool beside the fireplace. and
twanging his instrument with a vast
deal more power than melody. Never
did Christmas board display more
goodly and gracious assemblage of
countenances: those who were not
handsome were, at least, happy; and
happiness is rare improver of your
hard-favored visage.

these unceremonious days; but a long

with which the butler and other serv-

The dinnertime passed away in this
flow of innocent hilarity; and, though

rout and reyel, yet l doubt whether it

benevolent being to diffuse pleasure

merriment 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 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 so 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 ard 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 ac-
cording to their original form; and
consulted old books for precedent and
authority for every merrie sport
yet / assure you there never was ped
antry so delightful. 1t was the policy
of the good old gentleman to make
his children feel that home was the
happiest place in the world, and |
value this delicious home-feeling as
one of the choicest gifts parent could
bestow."
