A DIAI.OROK BETWEEN DICK AND JOHN.
As at their work two weavers sit,
Beguiling time with friendly chat,
They touched upon the price of meat,
So high a weaver scarce cou'.d eat.

‘ Capital Fun.”
It was a little twelvd o’clock, and
ii me l y t>r»*uj' of hi ys were seated on
the young sfr.nss, under the old trees
that sh.-oted the Academy play grounds.
A li’.th' l iter and they wnilld hi scatter
erf in every direction* at their play ; but
first they must attend to the content* nl
well filled pails atid baskets, where their
dinners are stoffcd away. -
‘1 should like to know,’ said llownr I
Colby ‘why Joe Green never comes out
here to eat his dinner w.tb the rest of
us, but always sneaks off somewheie
till we nil get through 1’
‘Guss he brings so many goodisy lie
is afraid we shall mb him,’ s id another.
*PHo !* said Will B-own, throwing
himself Intek on the grass, ‘inure likely
he doesn’t tiring anything at a k I heard
my father say that the family must lie
very badly pinched since Mr Green
was killed ; nnd mother said she didn’t
pity them, for folks hud no business to
be poor mid proud.’
‘Well,’ said Sain Merill,‘l know Mary
Green asked my mother to have plain
sewing to do; but hen folks do that
sometime* that aren’t very poor.’
‘And Joe is wearing his winter clothes
all this warm weather, and his pants
are patched behind —I saw them,’ said
Howard Colby, with a very complacent
look at his new spring suit of light
‘I tell you what boys,’ said Will
Brown, ‘fet’s look to morrow, and see
what the old fellow does bring any way.
You know he is always in Ins seat by
the time the first. beH 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 Col
lias, who had sat quietly eating his din
ner, and taking no part in the conversa
tion. Now he simply remarked, an he
brushed the ernabs from his lap, *1
can’t see what fun there will be in that,
and it looks real mem and sneaking to
me. I’in sure it is none of our business
ivhat Joe brings for dinner, or where he
goes to eat.’
‘You’re always such a granny, Ned
Collin**,’ said Will Brown, contemptu
ously ‘You’ve got every one of poor
mint Sally’s tuitions.’
Ned could not bear to be laugh at
and it mule him u little angty to hear
his kind old aunt sneered at, hut hi*
eyes only fl -shed for a minute, and then
he sprang up,'shouting, ‘fdttrrah, boys,
for foot b-.ttl-1’ and in five minutes the
whole play gultmil Was in an uproar of
ill i mi l frolic.
The in-xt morning, at the first stroke
of the bell, a halt-dozen roguish faces
peeped into the school room, and swre
enough, there was Joe Green, busily
plying bis pencil over the problems of
tile algebra lesson. It was but this work
of an instant to hiifry rtitn ‘-the little
clothes Mom, and soon the whole group
was pressing around Will Brown, as he
held the mysterious b isket in his hand.
Am-mg them, in spite of the retnon*
sirance he made the day before, was
Ned Collins, with bis fine face fairly
crimson with shame, or sixtiething else;
we shall see.
‘lt is big enough to bold a day’s ra
tions for a regiment/ said Harry Colby,
as Will pulled out a nice white napkin.
Next came a newspaper, a large one,
too; and then at the bottom of the bis
net, was one little cord potato ; that was
ail. Will then bold it w-ith a comical
grimace, and the b *ya began to laugh,
and cheered as loudly as they dared in
the itehod-hbiise.
‘See'here/ said HbwaYcf, ‘let”B throw
it away and fill the basket with tsbme
coal and thing*; it will be such fnn to
see him open it.’
The buys agreed, and the basket was
soon filled, and the napkin place care
fully on the top, and before the bed com
menced tolling, they were on their way
down stairs.
Ned Collins was the last to leave the
room, and no sooner did the last disup
pear, than, quick as a Hush, he emptied
the coal into the box again, replaced
the paper, and half filled the basket,
hrge as it was, with the eoßtents of the
bright tin pail that aunt Sallie delight
ed to store with dainties for her d«r
lig’s dinner. Ned was in his seat ul
most ass ion as the rest and all tin nu*:h
the forenoon he looked and felt as gail y
as the others, as he saw the ely looks
and winks that were exchanged irmong
them Noon came, and there was the
usual rush to the clothes-rnnin 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 arm.
‘Hello, Ned,’ said Saip Morrill, ‘where
are you going now ?’
‘Home,’ add N-*d laughing, l I saw
aunt Sally making a chicken pie this
morning, and I am going home to g ( *t
some.’
‘Ask me lo go too,’ shouted Howard
Colby, but just at that moment they saw
Joe Green oairying his basket into the
school-room.
*1 should think he’d suspect something.’
whispered \\ ill Brown; ‘that coal
must be awful heavy.’ *
Joe disappeared in the Bchool-room >
and the curious eyes that peeied
through the crack of the door were
soon rewarded by seeing him open' his
basket.
. 'Hope his dinner won’t be heavy on
his stomach,’ whispered Howard Colby.
But apparently Joe only »Wmhed to
get his paper to read, for he took it by
the corner and pulled, but it waa fast.
H* finked in surprise, aud then in a
s.irt of bewildered way, ti*ok out a
couple of aunt Sail’s great crispy dough
nuts the* -me of the delicious round
pes he h id often seen iu Ned’s hands,
bread and bu.ttei% attd honey such as
nobody’s he6s bat hers ever made, and
the plump breast of chicken. It was a
dinner fit for a king; so poor Joe
thought-, and so the boy* thought us
th -y peeped wonderingly from their hi
d.ng place. But Joe did not offer to
taste it; he only sat there, and looked
at it with a pale face, over which the
tears began presently to flow very fast.
Then he leaned his head on his desk,
and Freddie Wilson, one of the wfiatHtA
boys whispe-ed, ‘I guess he’s praying;’
so they all »tole away to the play
ground without speaking aftotheT wofrd.
•That’s some of Ned Cull in’s work.’
said ill Brown after a while. ‘lts
just like him ’
•I’m glad of it, any way/ said Sam
Merrill, ‘l’ve felt as mean all the fore
noon a* if I had been robding a hen
roost. The Greer s are not to blame for
having only cold potatoes to eat, and I
don’t wonder that Joe didn’t want us
fellows to know it.’
‘I like Joe Green the best of any boy
in school/ said little Freddie Wilson,
‘and I think it was too bad to try and
make r un of him/
•Nobody asked what you thought,’
said Will Brown, fiercely,‘wait till your
opinion is called for.’
The little boy looked very meek, and
ate his dinner in silence, but the fact
was Will Brown began to feel uncom
fortable.
•Father says Mr. Green was the V.ra
vest man in the company,’said Sara Mer
rill, ‘and that he would*’* bave been
killed, only he thought of every one
else before himself.’
•i tell you what,’ said good natured
Tom Granger, ‘I move and second that
wo ate ail ashamed of ourselves; all in
favor of this motion will signify it by
giving three cheers for Ned Collins—
there he comes this minute, brim full of
chicken pie.’
The boys sprang to their feet, and,
swinging their caps in the air. gave
three hearty cheers for Ned Collins,
and even Will Brown j lined the chorus
with as loud a hurrah as any of them.
Sam Merrill explained the thing to
Ned, and lie only said in reply, ‘l’ve of
ten heard aunt Sally say that it was
poor kind of fun that must be earned
by hurting somebody’s feelings,’ and
what nut Sally says is almost always
Our First Prfsident’s House-
While the Federal City was building,
the Legislature of Pensylvnnia voted
the President a house, hoping perhaps
to keep the setft of gOverhrnent in Phil
adelphia. The house forme-ly occupied
a* the University of P.-r.*vv mia was
accordingly built f-wthut purpose. But
as soon as General Wasiiington saw its
dimensions, and a good- while belore it
was finished, lie let it be known that he
would not occupy it—that he certainly
should not go to the expense of pur
chasing suitable furniture for such a
dwelling, and hired instead a modest
hut •cnttoforlahle residence.
The President ate cornmeal cakes for

dining hour whs dlways four o’clock in

five minutes for the variation on docks
and watches, and then go lb the table,

He kept his own clock in tftediaH. just
with : n the outer door, and always ex
actly regulated. When lagging mom
bera of Congress came in, as they often
did, ufipr the guest had sat down to
dinner, the President's only apology
was ; ‘Gentlemen (or sir,) we are too
punctual for you. I have a cook who
never asks whether the company has
come, but whether the hour has come ’
He was always dres-ed in a suit of black,
his hair powdered, and tied in a black
"queue behind, with a v«-ry elegant dress

grace. Mrs. Washington often, but
not always, dined with the company,
sat at the head of the table, and if, as
was occasionally the case there were
other ladies present, they sat each siJe

The Etiquette of Introductions
The English have always been great
for formal introductions; and the story
is t Id of one who, eyeing with his glass
a drowning fellow-mortal, refused to ex
tend to him a saving hand because he
had never been introduced.
The Americans have followed to
*-me, though perhaps not to this al>.
surd extent the example <»f their trans
ntlaiitlc relatives. We are not quite so
reserved as they. Democratic friction
has nect-ssa-ily broken up and rubbed
off a good deal of the original crlisti
nesa of our nature. Casual intercourse
between strangers in America is much
freer than in England. The American
is us wanting as the Englishman is
•Islanding in reserve The proper me
dium is between familiari y and resist
a«ee. ?n travelling English constraint
is often fatal to the general ease and
cheermli ess, while American freedom is
not seldom subversive of the common
comfort. In the dose proximity of a
railway carriage two strangers oan
make themselves mutually agreeable
without any sacrifice of person and ciigni
tv, and it.is certainly their duty to do
so. The concessions on such an occa
sion are, of course, to be regarded as
temporary. They are drafts at sight
on each other’s courtesy, to be paid at
date and received as a final settlement
which bars all ulterior claims.
The Amerijnuß are gen -rally 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 ucceptahili*
y of trie acquaintanceship about to be
formed. No two should b.e introduced
'however closely accident may have
thrown them together, if they would be
obviously incongruous as intimate asso
ciates. At a dinner or other party all
the guests are temporarily to -regard
themselves as acquaintances, and they
require do further introductions -than
the invitations they have received as
the guests of the same host or hostess.—
Special presentations are quite Unnecsa-*
rv, and when made wili 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 taken to the lady, a citizen to
the mayor, the mayor to the governor,
and the governor to the president. In
all cases but purely official or formal
presentations it is prudent as well as po<
life to secure the willingness of those
whom you are about to commend to
each other’s intimacy.
Letters of introduction may bo use
ful in a strange Country, as guaranties
of social credit at home, in the cate of
an emergency, when, for example, by
s<title tnlsliap or other, the mure valid
banker’s ->n-* lias 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 stranp-er now get#, in ex
change lor one of these, a polite bow of
the head and a vague off.-r of indefinite
service, lift ibust needs be satisfied.
The drdinary letter of introduction is
expressed in a f«w conventional phrases .
as, for example : ‘I have the pleasure
of presenting to your acquaintance Mr.
tentions/ It should be en. losed in an
open envelope, on which, beside# the
address, it is customary to Write in the
left and lower corner, the word, ‘lntro
ducing/ followed by the name ami title
rn fall, clearly inscribed, of the bearer.
When the letter is to be delivered, it
should be sent to the person for whom
it is intended with a car-1, on which
are the name and address of the person
introduc and. The response should be in
the form of a call and an invitation to
dinner; bnt this latter part of the civifi
ty is not to be too much calculated up.
Oil.
A good many people think that thev
are obliged to give a letter of mtroduc
lion to every presentable person who
may demand it, 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 unwilling
nesg 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 the
national representatives, and the infor
mation in regard to the various formali
ties required is obtained from them or
their officials.
The President’s levees at Washington
are open to the whole world, are win
ducted with no more ceremony than an
ordinary reception by any citizen's wife.
Tho doors of the White House may be
said to be never closed, and every ohe
who pleases may call upon its occupant
as upon that of any other dwelling.—
He must not, however, always expect a
personal interview ; this, to be secured,
must l>e sought in the company of smut*
dignitary or intimate of the President,
who will thus be able to judge of tho
claims to attention of a Visitor.— JZuj

Ease in Society
"l’d lather thrash wheat all day in
the barn,” said Reuben R-h-y to his sis
ter, as he adjusted ati uncomfortable
collar almut his sunburnt neck, “than
go to this pesky party. I never know
what to do with myself, stuck up there
in the parlor all the eVetiing. If the
fellows w-.nld pull their coats off, and
g-» out and chop wood on a match,
tbere’d be s-nne sen*e in it.”
"Well, I bate it as bad as you Uo.
Reub.,” said sister Lucy. "The fact is,
we never go nowhere, nor see nobody,
and no wonder we feel so awkward
when we do happen *o stir out.”
The remarks-it this b other and sister
were but echoes of the sentiment o*
m nv other farmers’ boys and girls
wlieu h.jwjjpd out to spend a social eVfr.
ning. But poor Lucy hid not hit the
true cause of the difficulty. It was
not because they eo seldom went to any
place, but bee mss there was a wide
d.ff;rence between their home and com
puny manners. The true way to feel
at ease in any garb is to wear it often.
If the pleasing garb of good manners is
only put on upon rare occasions, it will
never fat well, and never seem camforta*
b'e.
Learn to behaVe properly at home, to
cultivate yourselve. Do not sit, OT
stand, or lounge about in ungainly at
titudes, but acquire a manly, erect,
graceful hearing. I have never seen
such vigorous, hearty manhood in any
das* as among cultivated farmers’sons.
Let tab!* manners be especially looked
after. Note carefully how well-bred
peopl behave, and do your best to imi
tate them. It is noble to lie an imitator
of that which is goo I and beautiful.—
Above all, if y-»u wish to be at home in
society, fill your brains with ideas.—
Set your mind to worh. Wake it out
of the sluggishness it would naturally
sink into, if you ivere only a plodder
»nd nothing more, by good stirring
thought. If you go into society with
something worth talking about, you
will not fait to find listeners who will
treat you with respect, and where you
are well received you will not fail very
soon to find yourselt at ease.'

Popular Superstitions Concern
ing Bells.
Ducan'ge tell# us of a bell at Lein
ster, in Ireland, which had been carried
there from a distant perish church, and
had to be exercised every night and fas
tened to it* belfry, or it would, as ft
frequently ditl, return overnight to ita
former place of re tdence. If a bell had
been burred underground it found no
lest in the earth or water; pious ears
beard it ring from time to time* and
thus lead to their happy return ttt the
fight of heaven and a useful career.—
Thus it happened in Valencia in 1499 ;
un old woman, who piously came every
evening to say her prayers in a chapel
of the Virgin, repeatedly heard the ring,
ing of a bell beneath her knees. She
was so urgent in her demnud to have
the matter investigated that at last the
pavement was taken up, and search
Was made, and a few feet below, a
large bell and an image of the Virgin
were, found, where they had probably
been hid by early Ghristiaus in time
of war.
Nor does popular superstition forget
the arch-enemy of all churches nnd of
whatever aids the cau*e of the Church ;
hence the devil goes about eagerly try
ing to injure and destroy belle. Even
the little bell by which St. Benedict’s
friend need to announce to him his daily
arrival with provisions excited the ire of
Batafa, and he crushed it nudor a huge
rock which he threw upon it from on
high. As consecration makes bells
safe against his machinations ; be pur
sues them especially before they have
been baptized, and many a story is cur
rent iu all countries of unluckly belle
that were cast down from steeple and
belfry because they had not been duly
christened On the other hand, bells
have great power over the Evil One,
and can drive him and his wicked epir
ita from the neighborhood as far as
their sound can be heard. This special
endowment they owe genoruUy to some
virtue iu the pious man who has conse
crated tbetfa.
Other belle, it is firmly believed, have
a mysterious .power of ringing by their
o’Wn volition, generally for the purpose
of announcing some public calamity or
sudden death, and of'thus warning men
to prepare their minds. It is surprising
to learn how general this superstition
is on the continent of Europe, and even
in Eng'and, and how firmly this faith
seems to be eata'-lUhed in the minds ot
otherwise enlightened men. Benedic
tine and Dominican converts especially
used to boast, in former days, of bells
whidh Wbtild unfailingly announce by
their spontaneous ringing the impend
ing death **f one of tlietr brethren. The
most ’famous bell oT this kind is one be'-
longing to the Church of St. Nicholas,
at Vdilla, in Arragon-; it measures ten
yards around, ar.d bears two crosses on
the outside, one towaid the west and
the other toward the east. Whenever
a great public calamity impends bn the
latfd it begins to ting by iteelf a few
months before, and the records of the
town state repeatedly tbst carefa!
search iiua been made in many cases to
ascertain if sudden gnats of wind, mis
chievous men, or earthquakes might not
have caused the phenomenon, but inva
riably in vain. At least nine great ca
lamities were thus announced before
hand, of each of which careful entries
,(vel) made at the lime in tlio records of
the town aud of the kingdom of Ana
gOn, and countless explanations were
giv«n by priests and prelates. The
last remnant of such superstitions is
probably the Lying 8011, in High
Street, in Gheht, which still bears that
name because, the people firmly be
lieve, it stil continues, as of old, to
summon the nuns of the convent to which
it belongs inVariably either too soon ox
too late to their devotihiis.— Harper's

India Rubber Ixrxhaustblb.— The
belt ot land around the globe, 500 miles
north and 500 miles south of the equa
tor, abounds in trees producing the gdrri
of ludia rubber. They can bo tapped,
it is stated, for twerity slieeefcsive sea
sons without injury; and the treea
stand so close that any man can gather
the sap of eighty in a day, each tree
yielding, on an average, three table
spoonsful daily. Forty-three thousand
of these trees huve been counted in a
tract of country 30 miles long by 8
wide. There are in America and Eu
rope more than 150 manufactories of

500 operatives each, and consuming
more than 10.000,000 pounds of gum a
year, and the business is considered to
be only in. Ha infancy. But to whatever
