It is a curious fact that the fondness of late hours has progressed with the growth of civiliza tion ; but it is not dillicult to account for this chango of habit. Four centuries ago tho custom in Knglund and throughout a large portiou of Europe was for tho family to take their meals at tho same timonnd at the same table with the domestics and all persons employed by the head of the house, and this custom was observed by the high est noble its wi'll ns by tho most humble, farmer. Everybody rote about tho same hour in the morniug, and the Indies of the houso Bupvriuleudud the business of tho kitchen. Moreover, as the system of light ing the interior of dwellings was in a very imperfect stale tho nieuun usually resort ed to being Ihe burning of pine torches or of oil and fut iu clumpy lumps, or the kind ling ol a roaring lire it became a necessi ty to make use of as much daylight as pos sible; hence the early hours which, it is said our nncestors were so fond of, and the philosophy of which they embodied iu tho proverbs : "Early in bed and early to rise makes a mau healthy, wealthy and wise ;" and "to rise at live, to dine at nine, to sup at five, to bed at uiite, cuakea a man live to ninely-miiu." They were a hardy race.both male and fe male, living much in the open air, and tak ing a vast amount of physical exercise ; but it is by tio means certain that the du ration of life was greater with them than it is with us ; indeed, it may be doubted if it was so great. And they have obtained more credit for their early rising and retir ing than they deserve ; they had but few inducements to sit up late; they had very little literature, and what they had could only be read by a few ; their music and games were in a rude anil pr.mitive condi tion, ana they were accustomed to gorge Ihemtmlves, aud to drink to such au extent that it would liavo been a diDicult mutter for them to keep their eyes open long after supper. They took four meals a dtty, nil of the m subftnntinl. Henry 1. endeavored to reduce tho number to two, the meal to be taken at :i o'clock in tho morning, and tho supper at o iu the afternoon ; but he wns 1111111)11 to carry out this design. It would have been contrary to nature and very in jurious if he had carried it out, and so it was very properly resisted. Iu hdward III. 's time 1377,) the usual dinner hour was nine in the morning. A century or so later, in Edward IV. 's time (1401 147:1,) tho general hour of breakfast with tho nobility, whose meals were considera bly earlier than those of tradesmen, yeo men, etc., was 7 o'clock ; dinner was serv ed at 10 in tho morning, and generally last ed three hours ; supper followed nt 4, and there was a collation nt 9, befote retiring. This, collation consisted of beer and spiced wine,. Uuriugtho reiuns of Edward IV., Mary,'. Bnd Elizabeth (10741003,) the hours became later. The nobility, gentry and students dined at 11 in the forenoon, ami tupped between 5 and o to tho alter not n, but the merchants, especially those of London, did not dine before 12, and they supped at 0 ; the farmers dined at uoon and supped nt 7 or tf o'clock. .Towards the close of Elizabeth's reign (1000,) the din ner hour was changed from 11 to 12,and this remained tho hour until the time of Wil liam III. (10S8-1702.) The entire change in the habits of the people of England, which took place atcr the restoration of Charles II. (1000,) ( n tributed to iucrcase the lateness of he hours for everything. It becamo fashion able for people of rank and fortune to -have breakfast in bed and lo hold receptions by the bedside. Tho aucient habit of all the members of tho 'household taking their mi-als- together was nbrogated. Domestic followers aud retatiivers came to be looked upon as "servauts,1 and were treated a strangers to the family. They were limit ed to certaiu hours for their meals, and these hours were not allowed to interfero with those of their masters. Ilonco, it be camo necessary to prepare two sots of meals in every household whrra there wero serv ants ono for the' latter aud oue for the fam ily. This lies at tho afoot of tho modern late Lours. As tho apartments occupied during the day by Ihe family had to be cleaned aud put in order so as to be lit to receive them when they rose in the morn ing, the family refrained from rising uutil the domestics had timo to do this. Ano ther cause of late hours has been the vastly improved lighting up of the interior of houses. Even the old wax and tallow cau dles were a great improvement on what went before; then canto tho Argnnd lamp, , and other brilliant Uiuips, chandeliers, and lastly, gas, which have entirely obviated the incouvenience which our encostors suf fered from darkness. The great pressure of business is still another cause. This is bo severe, nowadays, iu large cities, that men engaged in professional und mercan tile pursuits cannot spare the timo to do more Una to take lunch in the middle of the day, so they postpone their dinner un til the close of their day's work. But still another, and, perhaps, a more potent cause thuu all for late dinners, is ton suburban railway. In very large cities men of busi ness are uo longer, ao formerly, compelled to reside ucar their stores or olQct s ; they can uow, by means of railways or horse cars, be conveyed from suburban residen ces to their places of business iu less time than it took their fathers to walk from their town houses ; hence, they have more time to devote to business, if need be, and they retire, when it is over, to their families, it a later hour.

A corres pondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, writing from Memphis, says: 1 heard of n Young lady the other day up iu middlo Tennessee who, as the river men say, has taken another schttto. The story told about her did m soul good, and for the comfort ot otberhult-Btarved dyspeptics like myself. whose tardy Sensatiou is a dec led by means of fried chicken, soggy buiscuits, greasy hash, and sole leather fritters, I'll relato it. For years past as a matter of form something hnnded down from rcruoic antiquity tho oUiccrs of the county fair held in the neighborhood where this young lady lived had been in tho habit of otrering a premium to the lady (unmarried) cooking the beet dinner. It was a dead letter. No- ootiy nad contested tor the premium within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. This year, however, the young lady of whom I am speaking determined to compete for tho prize. Her name I wish I could immor talize it wns Kate Jannway. The fair men set up a stove for her, stretched a can vass to shield horfrom the sun, and about 11 o'clock of the tidtt dav she went to work. The matter had been talked of by every one in the neighborhood, and curiosity was vii up-ioc, crowu collected around tne place whero the stove was set up early In tho morning, and kept increasing, but when M iss Kate herself.a buxum. handsome trirl of nineteen, daughter of the ex-Mayor of mo town, nppcnrcu ou mo ground, and, putting on a white apron and rolling up her sleeves, commenced operations, nil oth er attractions were nothiug. Every one was eager lo see so novel a sight. There was a tree near by which soon becamo black with spectators who had climbed up to get a better view. The branches were, finally, so burdened that one by one they broke, precipitating those upon them to the ground, uutil only oue man was left in the tree. He sat in a lofty fork, with eyes riv eted on the scene below. No amount of Ccrsuasion by those beneath, envious cf his clter view, could induce him to come down even a bribe of 10 failed, lie said ho was bound to see or die. Meanwhile tho dinner preparations went ou apace. Tho savory smell of the cooking food seem ed to iutoxicate Ihe crowd, which pressed nearer and nearer. It took all the police force on tho grounds to keep order. The line arrived for the trotting match, announced ns the sport of the day, but the amphi-lhcalre was empty. The judges (with tho exception of one crabbed old wid- owcr,) the timers all were missing, and so nothiug could bo done. At half-past .two j tho dinner was announced ready, nad t he ! judges, happy men, suited themselves at ' t lie table the crowd regarding them with ill-disguised envy. A roast ol beef, deli - calefy doue, was put steammg hot upon ;ho table, then followed com pudding, whose delicate aroma fell upou tho olfactories of tne excucu crowu yiiKe urtezes ol Araby : d f:ltal to longevity.

' It is ths lack of occu- ate and ate, praising tho flavor of the food, nnd the skill ot the cook al every mouthlul, Dut when, at last, a dish of piping hot ap plo dumplings made its appearance, the for bearanco of the crowd was at au end. They brokejb rough theroiies into the ring with ono acconTarul the duttrpliugs disap peared in a trice. Oue old fellow, proprietor of a store and owner of a big sawmill, proposed to tho young lady on the spot, but he was quick ly coiiared aud led oil' the grounds by two younger aspirants, who made common cause against the aged suitor, sawmill and all. That youug lady was tho centre of at traction iu her town after the cooking feat. She received twenty-iive otters of mnrriage the first week, nnd her fame spread through all tho country around. Au old bachelor fellow down in Grundy comity, with a farm so big that it takes him' all day to ride around it, and cattle on a hundred hills, heard oHier, and made a pilgrimage all the way to that town to learn tho truth. He pot tho eirl. too. although soma of the young men of the plac sued out a writ of.a habeas corpus to prevent her being carried out of tho county. They were too late. This is, I am aware, a rather bad ceding for so good a story, but devotion to the truth compels me to give nothing but the simple, unvarnished reality. She ought to hnve married that fellow who sat up there iu the crotch of the tree so long and at such fearful discomfort. Ho wanted her, nnd ho was .a poor, billious, dyspeptic whom her splendid cooking would have soon restored lo usefulness nud society, but he was poor. Ah 1 Useful Ixfoumatios. Jfow to Cane.
