On the Read.

ROUND THE DINNER TaBLE -— FRIENDSHIP, FALSE AND TRUE,

Yus, those eight who sat round the dinuer table were a world in miniature-— ‘three of the stern sex, ard five of the gentle.” Let us look at them:—No. 1, shape of a man, looks nigh four-score, hair, silver white, an odd fish, like a child, not the sort ‘for of such is the kingdom of heaven” by any means, but like a silly child. He wished to appear as a gentleman, but failed in the impression. He had read much, thought much, seen; much, donned the garments of learning, tried to look as wise as a sage, but the effort was dotage. He was a mixture of mathematics and the classic drama, rudely shaken by specimens of slang. He had evidently waded through Rousseau and Voltaire, gained some know- ledge of Moore, Byron and Pope, and was not unacquainted g¢with Kepler, Boyle and Pascal. True, he did not mention their names, but his notions of religion, were a mixture of the piety of the last three, with the infidel philosophy of the first two, with-

out the slighest poetry, good, bad and in- different of the central trio. He displayed a wonderful fund of affection—the ladies were ‘‘pets,” (the ladies gave a “‘not for]; Joe” smile. Wittigigms and repartees of a sort, pervaded with conversation, plenti- fully sprinkled with **You know” and ‘*they say ; both miserable liars nine times out of ten, Hecould be extremely grave, but with the gravity of an idiot, or of brains muddled with rum ; and his levity was of that distinguished type, which made him ridiculous as a vendor of oracles and bon niots—poor old man! Old age is something when a man gets there, he cannot very well help. It may be honorable or despicable, just as we make it. Years may be full of nobility, aud silver threads a crown of glory —we could almost worship such;—butfwhen an old man claims to be the possessor of rational intelligence, and turns out to be only a miserable compound of egotism and affectation, under cover of which he pre- tends to superiority, sensible people are apt to view him as he is—a poor old pigmy :—

‘“‘Pigmies are pigmies still, though perched on

Alps, And pyramids are pyramids in vales.”

No. 2:—A dude of the first water, and an official dude at that. From the crown of his head, down his whole length, he was adude. He voice was the voice of a dude ; a mixture of the nasal twar of a verdant Vermonter, and the chio of a Nova Scotia bull frog. All the ideas in his head seemed to be concentrated in that particular line, which constituted the part- ing of his perfumed wool—he occasionally scratched it in a thoughtful way. He tried hard to be a gentlemanly dude ; and, Oh! so modest and retiring, with a deep regard for the pronoun I. He seemed con- scious that we all needed just such enlight- enment as he could impart, and yet he cruelly failed to inform us as to the quality and price of the corsets he wore—they peeped through a refractory shirt front. His watch appeared upon tlie scene, nearly as often as as a forkfull entered bencath his ‘‘Buckinham dye” moustache. He yawned with profound indifference, left the table in a hurry, tilted his chair back on two legs, leaned against the wall, gave the carpet a new shape, picked his teeth to impress upon us the fact that he had just finished eating ; picked his nails with a miniature jack-knife, as an example of cleanliness and good manners, and when tired of all these varied performances, almost accompanied “race after meat” by playing reveille on a hole in the sole of his left shoe, as with a far-off, listless expression he sweetly sang :

“Over the garden wall,” &c.,

only his accent was ‘‘so peculiarly’ know,’ that he called wall ‘‘vall.” The other seven of us bade him good bye,” in tones of par- oxismal gladness. After all, his dudeship was a careworn, jilted-looking thing—old, this side of thirty.

[If the above description does not do justice to the full glory of the article, I humbly crave pat jon. It is several days since | saw it, and consequently may have forgotten the extra touches. ]

No. 3.—Most of the time, mute as an oyster. Lovked as if he was a kind of “care for nobody, nobody-cares-for-me” individual. Bad idea, when carried too far. On this occasion every bit a listener; very little of a speaker. With a face as serious as an Egyptian mummy, he was basy thinking. During conversation the pigmy and the (departed) dude had put the cloture on ; couldn’t get a word in edge- ways. Managed to clearly explain that he was an anti-dude, then finally said some- thing funny, which put the company in best of humor; and became as dumb as an unhatched chicken.

Now, about the ladies. Let thei rest. George hasn't a particle of ro! to find this time. Never met this ‘ ’ before, and may never meet them ca Would like to. They had spent some time on the Island, and departed recently on the Boston boats. Some of them were natives of this ‘‘garden of the Gulf.” Thev ranged fim, say 20 to 70, each one evidently a lady in both mind and manners. Their presence commanded respect. Their conversation displayed the wisdom and cultivation of high intelligence. There wasn't a silly giggler in the number. An hour of such company is worth a gold

mer at once a lady exclaimed, ‘* I had a letter from a New York friend to-day.” Then another one chimed in with the words ‘*Miss , can you really tell me hat! kind of an article a friend is, and’ what friendshiy is Who knows | the meaning of the sigh which | accompanied the questions he gentlemen | were appealed to. No. 1 gave an ecstatic | grin, and twittered out, **’pon iay word it) is a question hard to answer, think I am my} own best friend.” No dpubt; yet pei aps) his statement might be questioned. No. 2 had. vanished. No. 3 said ‘‘no one isa

respect, and none other can practice genuine friendship.” “Quite right,” said the lady of 70, “but most of ithose who profess friendship claim te be true;” then every voice was hushed as age and ex- perience proceeded:—‘“‘I think if we niace the true friend, we wiil find out what friendship really is, or ought to be. 1 have travelled much in the o'd world as well as in the new, and met with hosts of friends, the majority fickle and pretended ; very few real and true. The word friendship has become too common,and frequently ihe name of friend is applied to both men and women, whose actions are mere common- place civilities without any genuine feeling. Some people have so little feeling and spirituality, that even home does not in- spire them with a sense of true friendship. Some people’s friendshiy is a_ tissue of falsehood and deception. Friends, so- called, will- meet over a cup of tea, and breathe secrets, which they retail: with pre- tended horror or sorrow, butt Which in reality are only slander and scandal. Ghis sort of a friend would kiss you, and stab you. Others will smile upon you sweetly, and be ever so agreeable with you im private ; but in presence of some who may have defamed you, to whom they wish to appear as friends, they pretend to shun you, and actually condemn you as bitterly as those whose defamation of you they have liste ned to; and this is a very slippery sert of a friend. Some, again, if they have any worldly gain to reap, will court you and flatter you with a show of friendship altogether too sweet—they have a vast deal nore regard for your dollars than yourself, Some so-called friends are even we natural affection ; come to them with : fuil purse, position and health, and they will tolerate you, smile upon you, , their mouth is ever full of welcomes, they are goody-gvody all through to all appearance ; but just try them with an empty purse, be out of means of tilling it, and get sick on their hands, and you will find how scanty is their stock of friendship, and how mean, avaricious and selfish they are. They would sell Joseph any time. Such friends rank among the most contemptible beings on the footstool of God. ZOthers again look entirely to your outward appearance—an old hat or an old coat is quite sufficient to play havoc with their friendship—you are too shabby a friend altogether ; or a dress ever so neat- ly patched will shock them. Well, you may~~be a good fellow, or an excellent woman, and they like w patronize you; but it wouldn’t do to show much friendship for you in public. Then there are any quan- tity of so-called friends whose friendship is only to be gauged by the amount of selfish- ness, knavery, two-facedness and avarice which their hearts can contain ; there is nothing real, devoted or unwavering about them—all these and many more 1 could

full of them, so full that one is in danger of sometimes believing that there is no genu- ine friendship in it. Still, there are men and women in the world capable of true friendship, among both relations and ac- quaintances. You may try them as gold is tried in the fire, and they prove genuine. I think I am not saying too much—the wisest have admitted it-—that the true friendship of devoted women has been the means of saving many a member of che sterner sex, and true men wil! never try to shun their company. Men have likewise sometimes proved true tu erring sisters here are many ‘“‘friends” not to be trusted; but there are some who may be. The true friend will never display unworthy envy, and will not greet our little fauits and foibles with angry words; will delight in our happiness, and meet a kindred spirit with a heart full of gladness. Should others malign us, they will not staid tame- ly by and listen to our condemnation with seeming pleasure. We can confide in them, »}teJl them our little troubles, take counsel with thei. Empty flattery wili not come from their lips, and the tongue of ridicule will never wag against us. No matter how others may ridicule us, slander us, or try to pick holes in everything we do, the true friend who believes in us ami understands us is only all the more faithful and firm, pitying our errors, if we have thoi, and telling us of them with language of gracious charity. Their interests in the smailest things as well as the highest and nobiest are ours, and ours are thews. Our feel- ings, sspirations and happiness are dear to each other. Our hearts beat as one. | have been a long time in the world and met few such true friends, and little of such friendship, so I value them very highly indeed. Now—if your New York friend is like that, try and be the saine yourself.”

‘“‘| have been 40 years in the world,” said No. 3, ‘‘and only rect one or two up to your standard outside of the family circle.”

‘**May you have many more,” gracious reply.

‘*T have been almost twice as long in the world, going on for 80, and am — I must explore for them yet,” said No.

** You should not be_ aa at that, my dear sir,” was the answer.

Oh, that You! It told the tale. Pity printer's ink cannot convey the tone of voice, the power of expression, the strength of empliasis in that ** You. It was an earthquake.
