Many a man has moved from the country into the city, profess- edly that he might enjoy more society and indulge more in the plearmres of hospitality, and when he is settled in the city he does as other citizens do, ignore his neighbors, becomes formal in his intercourse with friends, is polite, but his politeness_ has little of that cor- diality and sinaplicity which charac- terizes the holiest, whole-souled. yeo- man. He finds more society, that ia, he meets with more men and women, but they take but little interest in him, and, to his disappointment, he discov- ers that he is a much smaller fraction' society in the oily than he was in the country. He finds more social privi- leges in the form of lectures, libraries, associations, dm., but as for hospitality bathe highest meaning of the word,enter- taining strangers and friends kin dly and generously, without ostentation and without hope of reward -this he does not -fii4d. Fashionable and expensive entertain - Mental such as are common in cities, have not the ring of genuine hospital- ity. There is a great display of expen- sive viands, showy dishes, and costly furniture. Music and flowers lend their enchantments. A professional caterer is hired, who loads the tables with French confections, and also fur- nishes liveried servants to wait upon the guests with all pomp and etiquette. Cards and dancing help to wile away the time which is not occupied in eat- ing and d.rinking. To those that like it, this is just the kiud of hospitality they like to give and receive. But the whole thing is as hollow as a withered puff -ball. There is no heart in it, and, _consegitently, no enjoyment, and we hope the time is far distant when white gloves, swaliow-tail Coats, lone trains, and other folderols of fashionable city entertainments will be introduced into the country. We are rejoiced to notice awkwand rusticity polished by intercourse with gentlemen of urbane Mariners, but when farmer's daughters begin to think that they cannot make a call on their neighbors without donning and drag- ging through the dust a trailed dress, a and when farmers eannot give an en- " tertainment to their' friends without putting on white kids and wallow -tails, and treating them smaptuously and a la city mode, it is manifest that the true 8 idea country hoapitality is not appre- d a ated. In the first place we desire to say p that there are few things more enjoy- t' abIe oountry life than the entertain- In rrtent of our friends, provided it is done them waiting in the parlor_ while you change your dress; and if you have pork and -beans for dinner, your guests will be much better pleased to be serv- ed with them than to have you kill some chickens, or send to. market for beefsteak. If they are, tree geutlemen and ladies, they don't wish to make itheir host extra trouble. We remem- ber no dinner in our life with more pleasure than one of bread. and. railk and baked apples at the house of a far- mer friend. Then we- had been• on a long tramp, and had an appetite that would be sauce for almost any kind of food, but the. simplicity, neatness and civility with which this dinner was served up to us by the fair daughters of the farmer, made a more favorable im- pressioe than any stmaptuous repast has ever made since. The English Tramp. In England. the winter Comes hard tip'on the professional tramp., But it is not his habit to take thought of the morrow, and, moreover, experience tells Jahn that he can somehow tide through tit* cold. So far as he is concerned,o-ur much abused weather has a worse narne than it deserves. Wet he was got well accustomed to; and severe snow -storms and prolonged frosts are become the exceptions rather than the rulesBesides if the worst comes to the worst, he can fall back on quarters provided by the counties. Should he be a shrewd fel- low he learns that spells of enforced work send him back with renewed zest to his irregularities; and he may agree with that sage member of the class whom we remember to have forgathered within the the pages of Dickens, that houra, and - the diet "which is regular, mind you freshens a cove up a bit, and does him good. Then in the spring, slimmer, and auturen-that is to say for nearly nine months in the year-frem March to November, he is in his glory. To do him justice he is no mollycoddle: If he shrivels himself up and puts on 4. pite- ous face in te bitter wind in. March, or a drenching day in November,lit is only to move your compassion, and invite you to the exercise of melting charity. Should you chance to catch a sight of him, while you are invisible to his'quick restlesseyes you will see his stumping along with loose coat flying back, a la Mark Tapley,occasionally stopping short in the middle of a stentorian whistle to blow on the blue hands he draws out of hit; breeches pocket. It may be as good as a scone in a farce should he be- come aware of you in the midst of the 'dimity you have intruded upon. Ten o one, he loses his presence of mind, and forgetting that he is proclaiming ireself a shameless impostor, makes ap t a Moment's notice for a figure of ab - eat misery. It is but Occasionally that akert so unfairly by surprise, he may how the highest qualities of his calling iid recogeizing instantaneously that isguise is absurd, may carry himself est you with surly defiance. When he weather is really tolerably fine that °vial bearing of his is anything but forced he world is • before him where -to with simplicity and "without grudg- ing." It is also one of those things which "it is more blessed to give than e receive." Occasionally we meet with " those who are -everlastingly on the look- m out for entertainments, but whose latah - strings are ;sever hung out for the re- e't" caption of their friends. Wa class all such with tramps. They know no more of the pleasures of heapitality than a " beggar that eats cold victuals in the Pgr kitchen. Geouirte hospitality is twice 'Messed; it blesses hise that gives and au" him that receives ; but the greater bless- ing is to the giver, for it is a universal aes principle that he who makes others happy receives a double blessing. It ue was, therefore, -a rich legacy that a CO countryman, famous for the old style 10 of entertaining hie friends, gave as a utt dying request to the heir of his es-. Pa tate: in My son, keep up the hospitality of Y° the house." ' eir But Nye must hasten to .suggest a few of the principles that should govern us bei. in clispensing hospitality. First of all, it should be done heartily. There ha "n nothing that gives a guest so much a° pleasure as hearty welcome. It is as wa rauelt better than roast turkey as the tha temperate zone is hotter than the frigid. "11 We have driven tlel rnilea of a cold win- he ter'a day to see a friend., and meeting egr° him at the barn his hearty shake of the "6 hand, and cordial " Glad to see you," the took the cold shivers out of us; but• _wit they returned when, on entering the a lo house, his woman -not to call her lady, der for lady means dispenser -seemed as f.b11 i cold. as a marble statue, and, though 18' she got us an oyster supper, and gave 7a° ns a feather bed, her frigid manner- I P coald but make us suspect that we were not welcome. In contrast with 'et° this ie the hearty reception we alms 's liste . net front au old friand, a gentleman of the old achool type, who grasps our hand with a will and ejaculates : "Bight glad to see tam ; you have come just in time to share a dish of potluelt with us. I wanted to see you and show you nay Cotswand- eld sheep Suffolk pigs." Such a welcome gives to potluck and pumpkin, pie a zest which without it roast beef and plum pudding eau never possess. As Solomon puts it, Better a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stallecl ox and hatred therewith." ia not neeessaay that hatred should. 'accompany the stalled ox to make the dinner inferior to one of herbs. A cold indifference produeee the same effect choose,and he is in no hurry about mak- ing his way through it. He has only to avoid those inhospitable localities he as marked with a black spot on the ap whieh he oarries in his mind where eisdicity associations have introduced e ungenerous practice, 6f scattering ckets to be bestowed in shape of alms. owhere, indeed, in our wealthy and aritable country need be have any ap- ehension of being pinched by hunger. read may be had almost anywhere for e asking, and he turns up his nose at unchei from the loaf, a,nd even look Rance at fragments of cold meat. He ows away about his person everything at oats be bartered for beer,and chucks ntemptuously into the nearest hedge w the superfluity of those broken vice els that he has crammed into his nte pookets on principle. The tramp, fact, lives exceedingly well and if 1.1 consider his upbringing, and the cumstances of his existence, many a h gourmand might envy him slum - a al fresco, 11 hours, and gentle exer- e not overdone, are perpetually put - g an edge on his appetite. As a boy, d. before he could fend for hinaself he s in the receipt of many more kicks n half -pence, and was kept on some - ng shorter than half -commons.

As it all through the pleasant season hid dering life is a perpetual pic-nic. It robable thathe is no great amateur hem beauties, preferring the bench re the ale -hops° door, where he can n to the echo of the laughter from the bar and the trolling of the skittle balls in.the alley, to the murmur ofhalf hidden brooks and the soft cooing of wood pigeons. Yet even in taking his ease at his inn he seems to be guided by same rude instinct of the picturesque; at all events be has ,the good taste to look for shade, and that cool freshness of the green which weighs gently on the sirtking'eye-lids, Sun-tanned and weath- er-beaten, ragged .and dust-stainedevith his open shirt bosom and his hobnailed bluchers, he might sit out the central figure in some village group by a mod- ern English imitator of the Dutch mas- ters.-Blechl000d's Magazine.

Arrita ing, her first thought was, of course, of marriage,antI she was joined in the holy bonds to Emanuel Anthony, of Hartford; who got very weary in about six months and, like the first man, Bly,in this city, departed in two days to have his board and waShing in another locality.

What Comes of Forsaking the Farm. Thousands of hard-working and en- terprising men, who have accumulated a little money on their farms,have been seized with an insane notion that any business, would pay better than farming, and have sold their farms, which had always provided them with a substantial. living, and perhaps with some surplus, hastening to trade cen- tres to inVest their little capital in some of the many delusive schemes for mak- ing two dollars out of one in an infinite- ly short space of time. Farmers who are in comfortable circumstances should be contented in "letting well enough alone ;" let their ambition be rather to improve and perfect a business which they are acquainted with, than grasp ° at something beyond their reach and capacity. Let them remember that 45,000 well invested in farm and stock and. crops will, combined with industry and economy, afford a better support to their families and. themselves than could be derived from the income from #20,000 111 cash or bonds, in the average city.' Let them bear in mind that the city resident is obliged to pay two or three profits on everything he or his family consumes; that in times of scarcity and high prices for breadstuffs and provisions, his income may remain the same, without nieans of increasing it, while the expense of living is largely enhanced. In conclusion, there are drawbacks to every occupation and business, but it will be found that the ownership of improved farm land, and its occupation by industrious, intelli- gent cultivators of the soil, combines more of the elements of true wealth, comfortable subsistence, independence and certainty of result than any other calling. • A bollector's Stratagem. While collecting not long since, Mr, Jo:I:neon had the -following experience -at a fine mansion on the West Side: A little "girl responded to the ringing of the door -bell, , and in reply to Mr. johnson's inquiry as to whether her mother was at home, said: " lYIaanma says for me to tell you she ain't in to -day. She's gone out." " !" remarked the imperturbed collector, without moving a muscle of his coontenance, "please go and ask her. to tell you where she has gone." through the hall toward a rear room, shouting " Mamma, he wants to know where you're gone to." A smothered exclamation and a blow, followed immediately by a child's shriek of terror, was heard, a door was after- wards loudly slammed, and finally a, very red-faced woman, bearing fifty cents dee for the Post for one quarter appear- ed on the scene,and deposited the money in the collector's hands as a peace -offer- ing. • The Way a Thing is Done is What Counts. An old darkey, who was asked if in his experience prayer was ever answer- ed, replied: "Well, sale some paa'rs is ansud an' some isn't -'pends on sv'at you ores fo'. Jest arter the wah, when it was mighty hard scratching fo' de culled breddern.
