The Happy Men in Hospitality.

The Canadian, as any one will admit who has been his guest, possesses in an eminent and most enjoyable degree the virtue of hospitality. In him are happily blended the best characteristics of the Englishman and the American. The Englishman, hearty as the welcome which he extends to a gnest, still compasses his hojise and his heart round abont with barriers of reserve and suspicion, which it is not always) easy to surmount, or to throw down. The American on the other hand, for all his prompt courtesies and willingness to oblige and to entertain, is often apt to carry what we - might call the hotel and business atmosphere into his acquaintanceships. He entertains royally, bnt it often seems as if he grudged the time and the personal attention which are requisite in order that the gnest may enjoy himself to the utmost. The Canadian, as we have already said, blends in a happy measure the best .traits of his British progenitor and his American neighbor. Philadelphia Record. There was always more iu the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. We shall be obliged at last to oonfess that tbe really precious things are thought and sight, not pace. It does a man no harm to go sometimes slow, for his glory is not at all in going, but in being.— Buskin.
