Farm Itosthitality.
na Aer.exmannis mitre
If there is any class of meta who obey
the ApOStietS ii5nncfion, "Use hospi-
tality one to another -without grudging,"
' we fully believe it is farmers, especially
on our frontier and in the sparsely
populated districts of the older portions
of our comrtryn is true as it is singu-
lar that much in the same ratio as men
huddle together in cities and. villages
-they 'become regardless of neighbors
and strangers, and shut their doors
against there. 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

ehension of being pinched by hunger.

Rance at fragments of cold meat. He

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

cumstances of his existence, many a

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

his experience prayer was ever answer-
