OR. THE TWO WEAVE.IS.
A DIALOG OS BETWEEN DICK AND JoHX.
As at their work two weavers sit,
Beguiling time with friendly chat,
They touched upon the price or meat,
So high a weaver scarce could eat.

“ Where’er I look, howe’er I range.

‘And Joe is wearing his winter clothes
all this warm weather, nnd his pants
are patched behind —I saw them,’ said
Howard Oolby, with a very complacent
look at his new spring suit of light
gn*y.
‘I tell von what boys/ said Will
B.own, ‘fet's look to morrow, and sec*
what the old fellow does bring any way.
You know he is always in lira seat 1»y
the time the first. heH rings, and we can
get a peep into his basket, and then be
in season for roll-call.’
The boys agreed to this, but Ned G>l-
Juj*. who had sat quieily eating his din
ner, and taking no part in the conversa
tion. Now he Himply remarked, a* he
brushed the cr «rabs from bis lap, ‘I
can’t »o*e what fun there will be in that,
ami it looks real mean and sneaking to
me. I'm sure it is none of our business
what J«hj brings for dinner, or where he
goes to eat.’
‘You’re always such n granny, Ned
Collins,’said Will Brown, contemptu
ously ‘You’v«* got every *»oe of poor
mint S^Uya motions.’
Ned could not hear to be laugh at
and it in ide him u littie angry to hear
his kind old aunt sneered at. but iiis
*-yes only fl ished for a minute, and then
he sprang up,>h«'Uting, ‘filtrrah, hoys,
fur font b.rtl-!‘ and in five minutes ttie
whole play gi'dtottd %aa in an uproar of
fu i end frolic.
The ID-xt morning, at the first stroke
of the bell, a half-dozen roguish faces
peeped into the school room, and sore
enough, there was Joe Green, busily
plying bis pencil over the problems
He looked in surprise, and then in
*.>rt of bewildered way, took out
couple of aunt Safi's great crispy dowgli
nuts rliei* ‘me of the deli.-ious round
ppshelnd often soon in Ned’s hands,
bread and balters attd boney such as
nolwnly r s Neto hat hers ever made, and
the plump lireast of chicken. It was
dinner fit for a king; so jssir Joe
thought, a«d so the boys thought as
th *y peeped wonderingly from their hi-
d.ng place. Hut Joe did not offer to
taste it; he only sat there, and looked
at it with a pale face, over which the
team began presently to now very fast
Then he leaned his head on his desk
and Freddie Wilson, one of the rttrftrt
boys whispered, ‘I guess he*s praying;’
so they all stole away to tlu> play

Eja Oil.—Accuu its are given in
some of the fore g'l journals of the heal
ing properties of u new oil. It is pasi
ly made from tho yolk of eggs, and is’
said to be much employed by the Ger
raa i colonists of South Russia as a
means of cuiing cuts, bruises, scratches,
etc. The eggs are boiled hard, the
yolks removed and crushed, and stir-
re» carefufiy til 1 the whole substance is
cn the point of c itching tire when lb-
oil separates and may be poured off.—
Hen’s eggs are considered the best and
nearly two spooufiL of oil may be gain
ed from a single yolk.
A Novel Parasol.—A new parasol
has been invented It is so contrived
as to answer alternately the purpose of
a parasol and a screen. The rod in
not, as in ordinary parasols, inserted in
the middle of the circle, which forms
the shade, but near the circumtereuce,

the algebra lesson. It was but the work
of an instant t«» hufry rt?tc ! fbe liille
clothes room, and soon tin* whole group
was pressing around Will Brown, as he
held the mysterious l> isket in his hand.
Among tbiMU, in spite of the reinon-
*7ranee he made the day before, was
Ned Collins, with his fine face fairly
crimson with shame, or sewnething else;
we shall see.
r It is big enough to hold a day’s ra
tions for a regiment / said Harry Colby,
afl Will pulled out a nice white napkin.
Next (mine a newspaper, a large one,
too; and then at the ’oottow of the bas
net, was one little co?d potato; that was
ail. Will then held it with a comical
grimace, ami the b *ys began to laugh,
and cheered as loudly as they dared in
the nclmfH-house.
‘See'here,’ Bawl Hdwtird,‘fief's throw
it a*vay and fill tho basket with
coal and things; it will be such fun to
see him open it.*
The boys agreed, and the basket was
soon filled, and the napVin place care
fully on the top, and before the bell conn
(noticed tolling, they were on their way
down stairs.
Ned Collins was tho last to leave the
room, and no sooner did the last disap
pear, than, quick as a flash, he emptied
the coal into the box again, replaced
the paper, and hall filled the basket,
1 rge as it was, with the contents of the
bright tin pail that aunt Sallie delight*
ed to store with dainties lor her dm*
lig’s dinner. Ned was in hw seat ul
most as s *on as the rest and all tbiou-h
the forenoon ho looked and felt as gail y
as the others, as he saw the sly looks
and winks that were exchanged among
them Noon came, and there was the
usual rush to the clothes*room for dinner
baskets, but instead of going out to the
yard, the boys lingered about the door
and hall Straight by them marched
Ned Collins with his pail on his ann.
‘Hello, Ned,’ said Sam Merrill, ‘where
are y»»u going now ?’
‘Home/ said laughing, ‘I saw
aunt Sally making a chicken pie this
morning, and I am going home to get
some.*
‘A*k me fo go too/ shouted Howard
Colby, but just at that moment they saw
Joe Green cairving his basket into the
schooLn*»m.
‘I should think he’d suspect something.'
whispered W ih Brown; ‘that coal
must be awful heavy.* •
Joe disapjieared in the school-room t
and the curious eyes that peeied
rhrongh the crack of the d»»or w»*re
soon rewarded by seeing him open* his
basket.
. *Hoj»e his dinner won’t be heavy on
his stomach/ whispered Howard Colby.
I’m glad of it, any way,* said Sam
Marrill, *I’ve felt as mean all the fi>re-
noon as if I had been robding a hen
ro4i*r. The Greer s are not to blame for
having only cold potatoes to eat, and I
don’t wilder that Joe didn't want us
fellows to know it.*
‘I like Joe Green the best of nny boy
in school,’ said little Freddie Wilson,
•and I think it was too bad to try and
make r ur. of him/
‘Nolssly asked what you thought/
said Will Brown, fiercely, 'wart till your
opinion is called for.*
The little boy hjoked very meek, and
ate his dinner in silence, but the fact
was Will Brown began to feel uA*"in-
fortable.
•Father siiys Mr. Green was the V.ra
vest man in the company.’said Sa*a Mer
rill, ‘and that he wonl*!*’* tiave been
killed, only be thought of every one

Tom Granger, *1 move and second that
we are ail ashamed of ourselves; all in
favor of thin minion will signify it by
giving three cheers for Ned Col'lin*—
there he comes this minute, brim full of
chicken pie/
The boys sprang to their feet, and,
swinging their caps in the air. gave
throe hearty cheers for Ned Collin-*,
and even Will Brown j lined the chorus
with as loud *4 hurrah as any of them.
Sam Merrill explained the tiling to

Oiir First President's House*
While the Fed ral City was building
the Legislature of Pensylvnnia voted
the President a h«»u**e, hoping perhaps
to keep the reft of government in Phil
adelphin. The house forme’ly occupied
as th»* University of P.-r.syvmia was
accordingly built f**r that purpose. But
as Siam as General Washington saw its
dimensions, and a good while belore it
was fi.iished, he let it be known that he
would not occupy it—that he certainly
should not go t«» the expeme of p«r
chasing suitable furniture for such
dwelling, and hired instead a modest
Imtxxifhforlable residence.
The President ate cornmeal cakes for
breakfast, after the Virginia fashion, al
though l»uck wheat cakes were generally
on the table. W»»hititgon v a tlihner par
ties were entertained in a vgry hand
some style, iiis weekly dining day,
for compamy, was Thursday, and his
dining hour w*8 always four o’clock in
the afternoon. His rule was to allow
five minutes for the variation on clocks
and watcher, and then go to the table,
be present oY absent who ever might,
lie kept his own clock in thebaTl. just
with : n the outer d«*ir, and always ex-
aotly regulated. When lagging men?
l>ers of Congress came in, as they often
did, afipr the gu»*st had sat down to
dinner, the President’s only apology
was : ‘Gentlemen (or sir,) we are too
punctual for you. I have a c«»ok who
never asks whether the company has
come, but whether tbe hour has come.*
He was always dressed in a suit of Wack,
his hair powdered, and lied in a black
queue behind, with a vrry elegant dress
sw» rd, which he wore with inimitable
grace. Mrs. Washington often, but
not always, dined with ttie company,
sat at the head of the table, and if, as
was occasionally the case there were
other ladies present, they sat ea«*h siJe
of her. The a resident sat hall way
from the head to the foot of the table,
and on that side he wool 1 place M rs.
Washington, though distant from him,
on his right hand. He always, unless
a clergyman was present, asked a bles
sing in a standing posture. If a cler
gyman was present, he was requested
both to ask a blessing and to return
thanks after dinner.

The Etiquette of Introductions
The English have always been great
for formal introductions; and the story
is t Id »»f on** wh*», eyeing *ith his glass
a drowning fellow-mortal, refused to ex
tend to him a saving haud because he
had never bee** introduced.
The Americans have followed’ to
a»nie, though perhaps not to this ah.
surd extent the example of their trans
atlantic relatives. We are no! quite so
reserved as they. Democratic friction
has necessa< ily broken up and nsbtved
• dt a go.si deal of the original crtlsli.
nes4 of our nature. Cusual intercourse
between strangers tn America is much
freer than in England. The American
is as wanting as the Englishman is
slNinnding in reserve The proper me
dium is between feooliari y and resist-
««ev. ?n’travelling English constraint
is often fatal to the general ease and
c’leoriiib ess. while American freedtmi is
not seldom subversive of tbe common
comfort. In the dose proximity of a
railway carriage two si rangers can
make themselves mutually agreeable
without any sacrifice of person d riigni
tv, and it.is certainly their duty to do
so. The concessions on such an occa
sion are, course, to be regarded as
temporary. They are drafts at sight
on each other’s courtesy, to l>e paid at
date and received as a finul settlement
which bars all ulterior claims.
The Americans are gen Tally too in
discriminate in their introductions
They seldom allow two strangers to be
together a moment without introducing
them to each other. No presentation
shou'd be made without a regard to the
fitness and probable mutual acceptabili'
y of the ae.ju dntanceship about to be
formed. No two should b.e introduced
‘however closely accident may have
thrown them togeth'T, if they would be
obviously incongruous as intimate asso
ciates. At a dinner or other party mil
the guests are temptiraffily to regard
themselves as acquaintances, and they
require no further introductions -than
the invitations they have received as
the guests of the same host or hostess.—
Special presentations are quite Ui.necsa-*
ry, and when made will indicate the
desirableness of a permanent friendship
In introductions the introduced is
presented to those who are entitled to
precedence from sex, age, rank. A
gentleman, whoever he may be, is thus
always tuk.-n to the lady, a citizen to
the mayor, the mayor to the governor,
and the governor fo the president. In
all cases but purely official or formal
presentations it is prudent as well am |»o«
lite to secure the willingness of those
wlmrn you are about to commend to
each other’s intimacy.
Letters of introduction may bo use-
fnl in a strange Country, as guaranties
of social credit at home, in the case of
an emergency, when, for example, by
sum* mishap or other, th» more valid
banker’s ..no has failed. They have,
however, lost much of their former pow
er as means of getting into society.—
There is so much traveling and conse
quent abundance of these missives that
they have greatly diminished in specific
value If a stranger now gets, in ex
change lor one of these, a polite bow of
the head and a vague offer of indefinite
service, he must needs be satisfied.
Tbe Ordinary letter of introduction is
expressed in a fnir conventioaal phrases .
as, for example: ‘I have the pleasure
of presenting to your acquaintance Mr.
—, whom I commend to your kind at
tentions/ It should be en loaed in an
open envelope, on which, besides the
address, it is customary to write in the
lelt und lower cornet, the Word, ‘Intro
ducing,’ followed by the name and title
in fnll, clettrly inscribed, of the bearer.
When the letter is to be delivered, it
should be sent to the person for whom
it is inteuded with a card, on which
ore the name and address of the person
introduc d. The response should be in
the form of a call and an invitation to
dinner; bn t this latter pait of the civifi
ty is nut to be too much calculated up.
Oil.
A good mar.y people think that tbev
are obliged to give u letter of introduc
tinn to every presentable person who
maj T demand ft, and this has led to the
depreciation of this kind of social cur
rency. It is entirely conformable with
the laws of courtesy to refuse such a fa
vor, merely on the ground of uQ*iIling
ness to take the liberty of presenting
any one to the person to whom the in
troduction is asked. All presentations
to foreign courts are made through ihe
national representatives, und the infor
mation in regard to the various fnrniaii*
ties required is obtained lroin them or
their officials.
The President’s levees at Washington
are open t*» the whole world, ars con
ducted with no m«»re ceremony than an
ordinary reception by any citizen’s wife.
The doors of the White House ina3' be
said to be never closed, and evt?ry ohe
who pleases may cuil upon its occupant
as upon lhat of any other dwelling.—
He must not, however, always sxpect a
personal interview ; this, to be secured,
must be sought in the company of some
dignitary or intimate of the President,
who will thus be able to judge of tho
claims to attention of a Visitor.—IToj

Ease in Society.
“I’d lather thrash wheat all day in
the barn,” said Reuben Ril«*V to hi* sis
ter, as he adjusted an uncomfortable
collar ahwut ids sunburnt neck, “titan
go to this |**sky parly. I never know
what to do with myself, stuck up there
in the parW all the evening. If th«
f< llows wmild pull their coats off, and
go out atnl chop wood on a match,
there’d be some sense in it.”
“Well, I hate it as bad as you do.
Reub.,*’ said sister Lucy. “Tho fact is,
we never go nowhere, nor see nobody,
and no wonder we feel so awkward
w hen we do hap|ien *o stir out.”
The remarks ot this b other and sister
were but echoes of the sentiment o*
m nv other farmers’ boys und girls
wheo iii^pd out to s|»end a 6ocial e’
ning. But p*»or Lucy h id not hit 'the
true cause of the difficulty. It was
not because they so sel lout went to any
place, but because there was a wide
d.ff?rence lietween their home and coin
puny manners. Tbe true way to feel
at ease in any garb is to wear it often.
If the pleasing garb of go;*! manners is
only put on ujam rare occasions, it will
never tit well, and never seem cjinforLa«
b’e.
Learn to behave properly at home, to
cultivate yourselve. Do n<ft s?t, O^r
stand, or lounge about in ungainly at
titudes, but acquire a manly, erect,
graceful liearing. I have never seen
such vigorous, hearty manhood in any
clam as among cultiva*ed farmers’ sons.
Let tab!# manners be especially looked
after. Note carefully how well-bred
penpl behave, and do your best to imi
tate them. It is noble to be an imitator
of that which is goo 1 and beautiful.—
Above all, if you wish to be at home in
society, fill your brains with ideas.—
3<;t your mind to worh. Wake it out
of the sluggishness it would naturally
sink into, if you were only a plodder
•nd nothing more, by good stirring
thought If you go into society with
something worth talking about, you
will not fad to find listeners who will
treat you with respect, and where yon
are well received you will not fail very
soon to find yourself at ease.

During? tell* u* nf % Ml at f,eio-
*rer, in Ireland, which had been curried
there from a distant perish church, end
had to t>e exercised every ni™ht and fee
tened to it» Jxdfrj, or it w«ald, aa it
frequently did, return overnight to its
firmer place of re hlence. If a hell had
l>ecn buried underground it found no
rest in the earth or water; pious sera
heard it ring from time to time, mud
thus lead to their happy return to the
light of heaven and a useful career.—
Thu* it happened in Valencia in 1499 ;
on old woman, who piously came every
evening to say her prayers in a chapel
of the Virgiu, repeatedly heard the l ing,
ing ol a bell beneath her knees. She
was so urgent in her demaud to have
the (hatter investigated that at laat the
pavement was taken up, aad search
was made, und a few feet below, a
large bell und an image of the Virgin
were found, where they had probably
been hid by early Christiana in time
of war.
Nor doea popular superstition forget
the arch-enemy of all churches and of
whatever aids the cau-e of the Church ;
hence the devil goes about eagerly try
ing to injure and destroy belli. Even
the Iitl In bell by which St. Benedict’,
friend used to announce to him his daily
arrivu! with proviaions excited the ire of
SiTtun, and he cmahed it under a huge
rock which Ee threw upon it from on
high. As consecration makes bells
safe against bis machinations ; be pur
sues them especially before they have
been baptized, and many a story is cur
rent in all countries of uuluckly bells
that were cast down from steeple and
belfry because they had oot been duly
christened On tbe other band, bells
have great power over the Evil One,
and can drive him and hia wicked spir
te from the neighborhood as far
their sound can be heard. This special
endowment they owe genorully to some
virtue in the pious man who has cocao
crated (ketts.
Other belle, it is firmly believed, have
a mysterious power of ringing by their
own Volition, generally for the purpose
-of announcing some public calamity or
suddeu death, und of thus warning men
to prepare their minds. It is surprising
to team how general this superstition
is nn the continent uf Europe, and even
in Eng'nnd, und how firmly this fsilh
seems to be estaclished in the minds
otherwise enlightened men. Benedic
tine snd Doininicsii convert* especially
used to boast, in former d-iys, of bells
which would unfailingly announce by
their spontaneous ringing the impend
ing death of ooe of their brethren. The
most fsmous bell of this kind is one be
longing to the Church of St. Nicholas,
at Velilla, in Arragon ; it meuaniea ted
yards around, and beara two croasca on
the outside, one toward the west and
the other toward the east. Whenever
a great public calamity impends On the
lattd it iiegiiia to ling by ileelf a few
months before, and the records of the
town etate repeatedly that carelai
search lisa been made tn many cases to
ascertain if sodden gusts of wind, mis
chievous men, or earthquakes might not
have caused the phenomenon, bat in via
riably in vain. At least time great ca

probably the Lying Bell, in High
