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 breakfast, after the Virginia fashi-m, al though buckwheat cakes were generally on the table. WashifitgoiPs jihnor par ties were entertained in a vgry hand some style, ilis weekly dining day, for compamy, was Thursday, and his dining hour whs dlways four o’clock in the afternoon. His rule was to allow five minutes for the variation on docks and watches, and then go lb the table, be preaeiit bt absent who ever might. 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 sword, which he wore with inimitable 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 of her.

CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 2S, 1870. 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 per'e Bazar. —<t»- * A woman in Alissouii hung her self because tier husband went to Gab. forum.

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.

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 Magazine. 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 Ind a rubber articles, employing some 500 operatives each, and consuming more than 10.000,000 pounds of gum a year, and the business is considered to be only in.
