To violent language she was welI accustomed; but sober or other- wise, she had never heard him utter a word against the MacTavishes -until now. 1 "Come, dad," she said after a short silence, during which time she decided it would be better tosay nothing of what was uppermost in her mind until morn- ine--" Come, dad; something has vex- edt'you to -night- You will be better in the morning.

All householders who have the means of giving pleasure in their homes are ex- pected to use them hospitably, and, if their place of residence be at all attrac- tive, to have people staying with theta occasionallyfor &short season during the - course of the year. Thewant of hospital- ity is a Churlish selfishness which the tra- ditions of our ancestors have taught us to despise. _ It must be remembered that a gen r- - al invitation to one to come at rev time is no invitation at all, and the Or- son froxn whom a visit is really .wanted will be begged to come at a certain dalte, and the time and duration of the ex- pected Visit will be distinetly stated,so as to save embarrassment all round. . A very long visit is not to be thought of anywhere, except -apon especial mi- derstancling ; and if no time is specified for the visit, a week is supposed to be - intended. No guest of any breeding will ever be self -invited; for no one outside. of the house can be -expected to know quitethecondition of things within, and a self -invited guest may be the rnest Malapropos thing in the world. When the guest arrives,. her room, will be in readiness for her, warm and cheerful, if in winter, cool and with flowers in- it if in summer-tirrie. Writing materials, envelopes, and stamps will be in the room, and a novel or two to amuse her, aud to relieve you on occasion. The first duty -of hospitality is to see that:there is. nothing wanting to the guestia comfort; theu to her amuse- ment. She is to be allowed the utmost freedom, thus giving her to understand that she is at home ; andshetvill coin- plimenther. hostess the most by show- ine herself at home and at her ease. r'A young lady will be very particular in her manners towardthe gentlemen of the house where she visits, and vill on no account lay herself' open to the charge of forwarcluess or flirtation. I3ut a gentleman will remember that it is Itis duty- to forget his own pleasures in those of the guest of his Wife -or moth -7 cr. A hostess will be expected if ha the city, to take her gaeet out with her to the customaav annatements, and to give her a patty of _some -sort ; or if in the country, -then to add to the party one or more out -door excursions. On these oc- casions the guest will held herself- as a member of thafamily in a way, quietly. and. unobtrusively endeavoring to enter- tain the guests of the hour, and if, the hoatees is obliged to busy herself in pre- paring for the entertailunent, will beg to to be allowed to make herself of use.. A guest must remember that she is net there simply to receive pleasure; it is quite as much her part to give it --all the more so if she wishes to be remember- eaagreeably or to be invited a seem& time. Although . it is right that a guest should feel and appear to be ret,heme,as we- have said, yet there are 'decided hounds to her ease. She will, for in- I .stance, never ask for anything that is not on the table, and she will never tale the liberty, unless requested to do so, of suggesting any but the most trivial anaus-einents. She Must conform to the hours of the house ; and we suppose there is nobody who will be making via - its at all who is likely to commit the great rudeness of criticising the friends of the family. Finally, he hostess will every day, ualesa she has a housekeeper to relieve her of such duties, glance into her guest's room to see that ithashad prop- er care; and when the guest goes to her room for the night, she will find that the- washing -closet has been attended to, as in the morning, water jar E replenish- ed, slop jars eraptiet, soiled tewels 're- moved, the dress pillows and coverlet removed from the bed, and the clothes turned; down. For 'lite rest, the Old English rule holds everywhere, and comprises in it- self the whole body of the law, as it bids 118 " weloorpe the coming and speed the parting guest." • A Good Story of Judge Story. A good illustration of the equal power of two vote is given. in a story, which seems to be common property, of Judge Story, which he was very fend of tell- ing. _ Oneksolcl and. stormy electon day, he felt it his dutyeas usual, to go to the polls. I He ordered his carriage for this pnrpose, but just as he was getting in a sudden thought struck him. Turning to hi$ colored driver he said: Have you voted yet?" . " [d,MassaStory, 1 was drive you first." "Well," replied the Judge, do you intend. to vote for?" "I shall vote for A.," an driver. "Well," continued the Ju ing, "I should vote for B,; put up the carriage again, a both stay at home and p votes." The coachman was equal at the ballot box with t Judge. Sexn's Retort.

There are seasons when talking meet , whether we, have anything t )say -or not; when the ball must be 1 ept ing; when a pause ia the con creation is almost as fatal as it protes .ed note, and we are to weary or disririted to hold our own, but feel it a blesed pried- 3 1.ge to listen.

A Well-TraiT) ed Mouse: It is a curious yet histOridel feet that prisoners who are sentenced for life often train some insect or animal, which becomes the one solace of their prison hours. One of the most curious cases is that of Anderson, the murderer, now itt one county jail, awaiting a new Wale He some time ago caught a mouse in his cell, caged hiin, and hoe carefully - trained him. -Anderson will hold a string suspended. from his fingers, and in broken English command the mouse. to "up, like it sailor," where-upen the little animal will lay hold Of the string with hi.s feet and 'climb to the prison- er's hand. The mouse will also. sit at command on hie hind legs on a tea, cup, will crawl up the prisoner's face through his moustache and. over his .nose, and finally jurap, frora the man's headto his hand, corn.pleting his perforinandes with a, graceful bow. One of - the most interesting things concerning the his- tory of this !little acrobat is the great love it has for the prisoner. When An- derson was moved a few weeks ago to another and darker cell the Mouse was lost; and although carefully solight af- ter by the keeper could not be founcl. Andersen was deeply grieved ov'e the disappearance of his tiny corapanion, which he fearedhad been killed, and even the prison- officers expressed re- gret that the little 'Creature should. have dropped so completely and mysterious- ly out of the usually -dull routine of prison life. Great was the joy, there- fore, of Anderson and. of all when one day the mouse made its appearance at the do ir of A.n.clerson's new cell, and running in resumed its accustomed place by the prisoner's side. It is said that the little animal seemed aa greatly rejoiced as its master -over the reunion. -.Yew Haven Register. • .
