A moment af ter I heard the rolling of w heels. “Fare thee well, honest'I'oni,” said I, and I sunk quietly back into my elbow chair. My little finger ached—no wonder—and tl;i! pain gave tny thoughts a turn. A singular custom this of shaking hands, so mused I, ami an old—the seal of an un written bond of fellowship between soul ami soul; abused often, doubtless—and so aifi the sacred rites of our religion. Would i could fathom its origin. A reason it niu.>^t have had, for, let atheist say wdiat he [ilea- ses, men did not even begin to shake hands by chance.

See here is a large one. What may that grand junction betoken ? Matrimony' I know not. l*aimistry, I’ll none of tliec. Thou dost not tell me why I should ;;ive my hand to my friend, nor why withhold it from mine enemy. I must try again.” “ The hand of the laborer and of the kit- che:iwetKh is hard—that of tlie lady and of the Lilly's dangler soft as the breathing of the sweet South.” The man of choler thrusts you forth a lean and meagre ma chine, thut almost rattles as y.'U touch it— the pletlioric man holds heavily out a great slice of blubber, split into segments by a meat-axe—the good-natured iiuin akme. shows you a haml. The gripe of the rude peasant and of the iron soldier, is lik^ a vice —that of Ihe carpet-knight and dandy, like the toldin:^ of a lady's kerchief alx.ut the fingers. The man of buiness seizes your hand in haste, and throws it away w ith a jerk —the idler raises it leisurely, and, haviog retained it a space, lets it fill iistb'ssly from his grasp. nere,tiien,isclnira ter. .More over, the proverb declares that ‘ a cold hiujd lietokenetii a w arm heartand the converse IS equally tine. Here is character again. I have It—wh-'ii we give a friend our liaiuJ, we present bim, as it were, w iih a certili- cnte, signed by Dame Nature herself, which assures limi, ‘such as you leave U"',you will find us,’ or, it may be, ‘siic!i as you let't us, you iiave found us.’ A very pretty theory. Vet have I known a good easy-tempered soul grow meagre, and a moiose, snappish, vinegar soiiled man grow fat. A winter's day too many may give the most jihlegma- tic of mortals and chilling rxlenial symlxd of svarmth the liveline.ss within. 1 am out, ance mere; I must try again.” 'I'he proccss of joining hands brings us _ into sometliing like frienlly contiguity.— I IVjf a tweak of the nose brings us nearer, ; and a twist of the ear, u'arcr :-till.
