Mr. Wilkie Collins was recoived by tho TLotos Club Baturday night, and that attention was followed by n dinuer givon to moot tho anthor at the Cen- tury, by Mr. Connnt, of Harpcr's Weekly, in charmmng fashion. Tho potite author looks like n roduced copy of Secretary Stanton, with black oyes, shnrp and merry, aud o bright, cordial fashion of his own. Tho flancur cluba take kindly to tho part of RECEIVING. The fates forbld auy ono should think the august Contury was mennt in that phrase, Dut the mystic Lotos aud the casy Arcadian altor- nately Jure notable etrangers to their rites. Tho Lotos gave n reception to Mr. Bradlaugh, who brings lotlers from Miss Kato Field,—as ardent & sympathizor and nssistant in Republicanism abrond s Graco Greenivood was beforo her. T'ho Areadinn saw tho affair and went two bottor,— quotation from Jolm Paul's Tribune letters,— with Lionors to Salvioi before hie hnd shaken tho duat from his feet, and & foto to Mme. Nilsson. Tho pretty parlors of the ‘club-houeo, closo Lo tho Clarondon, whore Grand-Dukes and prima- donnas lodgo, wero brilliant, the latter ovening, with ladies in full dress, windows and arches framed deop in green studded with roses, sere- nade at 11, calelum-lights on tho balcony, aud the dive in white sillk and blush- roses in the centro of it, taking hor death of cold bowing to her sdmirers. Dut tho managers hardly look back to tho ovoning with unalloyed content, An evening journal which takes an interest in tho doings of tho Club could not for- ‘bear intimating its dissatisfaction by coldly ro- marking that persous wore presont whose names SHOULD HAVE BEEN IESERVED for a differout occnsion. The presonce of Mr. Bradlangh to meot Mmo. Nilsgon, and in sort di- sido tho honors with her, was not the only piguant fact of the evoning, Some suporb gen- tlemen marked their senes of tho courtesy duo the stage in socicty by escorting lndies whom olhor goutleman werd not proud tholr wives should meot, When an opera-manager signifies his desiro that a prima-donoa should have tho cclat of a club-recoption, togother with his willingness to aesist with tho bills for tho occasion, a cortain Jatituds is allowed as fo invitatious, and peoplo are tolerated ag artists whoso presenco isnota favor otherwiso, In the present case, the recop- tion was & spontancous compliment from the Club, whogo invitation reached Mme, Nilsson across tho Atlantie, and tho Committeo, wha aro outlemen not merely in & conventional sonse, fi)uint that in futwure members shall pay ro- gord to npposrances, stricter, if anything, than they do in their own pmrlors. Tho altornative svould bo the dissolution of any club, whosa in- timates regard itus a compromise betweon the liborties of the green-room or studio and the courtesies of the drawing-room.

Ton DieN. e THE THEORY OF RE-EXISTENCE. An article in & late magazino, widely copled, upon the subject of living our life over ngain, has doubtlous led many to think upon a matier which has, during our lifetime, coma to most of us in one form or anothor. Of course, the ox- tent to which the mind will dwell upon such snb- jocts, driven to take refuge in old theories and wild vagarios by its own internal forces, drifting this way and that way as the moods vary, must dopend mainly upon the porson himself, Ono, imagntive, radienl, and strong, will find pleas- urein pushing aside tho weods from long-tangled paths, or in hewing down tho heavy timbor that standa to some an impnseable barrier to mental advancement ; another, whose woll-ordered digestion will prevont too free indulgence in fancy, ia slower to act, and, never quito willing to goout of the way of consorvatism on any raised question, will follow carefully, and with wary feet, the londers, ‘While, ns ling been nsgorted, and a8 obgorya- tion and experionce teach ug all, none is willing, absolutely willing, to lose his hold upon o lifo filled with uucortaintios and anxieties, it is be- caudo of the grepter uncorteinty which attachos to what follows, True, the suicide, made des- perato by the misory or ruin which inevitably stares him in the face, with o falso courage born of tho occasion, or & cowardice which malkes him dodgo tho isue, choores what to him is tho lesser of two great ovils, and passes to tho other sido.

As thero is no day ab- solutoly without its sun, sp_there is no life bo- roft of God,—no Loart from which all {uy lag been shut out. Who of us has no ploasant momories to chorish,—no bright spots to keop green,—no days to which we turn with glndness, liviug them over agniu iu thought, conscious that, for ono hour at [east, wo know happinoss in its rarest fullness ?

Among the many curiouscountrivances that caught my oyo was Lovojoy's Metallic ‘Woather-Iouse,—n little invention constructed upon philosophieal principles, and depond- ing for its changes upon tho olectrical conditions of tho atmosphere. Deing vory de- sirous to test ils accuracy, I humbly besought John llenry to buy one; but Lo rathor im- periously told me, after looking ateadily at mo for sovornl seconds, that hiis monoy had all gone to soed, but, if I wanted that little concorn badly enonigh to forego the purchasa of tho bluo sash I'd been saving up my bee-money for, ho'd no objections to carrying it home for me. Ho car- ried it. In my spare minutes I've watched it carefully, and nm conviuced that it is all it olnims to bo; it does its work accuratoly and well; yob thero are certain features nbout it that scem to me vory objectionable, and of a nature to de- mand attontion from all true patrons of art; so bear with mo while I unburdon myself to you.

Instead of adopting tho courso suggested, Lo tells mo that it is no affair of his, If the public chooso to_allow a slandorous invention to bo palmed off upon thom as & thing worthy their consideration,—then, in their unthinking greedi- nees, indoree it without question,—Ne ehall make no offort to dobar them tho privilege; doed, 1n hig opiuion, it is not a matter for indi- vidual interforonce ; and, when I asked him if | tho public is not composed of individuals, Le, by #omo poculinr contraction of the muscles, raised his feot to an anglo of 85 degrees, watched tho curls of smoko that rose from his elgar until 1 they mingled with tho moro rarefiod air abose Lis head, and blandly romarked, “In somo cases,” Bofore I presontmy objections, lot mo describo tlio littla object,—for I will assume thnt evory- body has 5ot seon one, 'T'ho little housc-shaped tin box contains the vory useful combination of thermomotor and barometer,—the baromotrical portion being indicated by the two figuros stn- tioned at tha openings bolow aud on cach side of the thormometer, with which they are connected by menns of o wire.

Lvery day this little ono goes into the wood-shed ad- fm"mg the houso, where a largo, vonerables looking rot makos it appearnnco, when the in- nocont-looking child procoade to feed it from hior ohubby hand. 'The parents havo caught thoir little one “focding its protege sovornl times of Into, yet, on the approach of auy othor than the 1ittlo girl, tho rat scampers off to it hole. Sav- eral offorts have beon made by tho child's pa- ronts to dispateh the singular compaunion of their darling, for it was feared that tho child mey gob bitten by it. Last Sunday tho rat showod its afoction aud guards isn cars of the litllo ono's comfort, ns the following will show: 'The child's mother put it to sleop in ils cradlo in thekitchen, going to another room in tho house, loaving tha ulnaging child alone. .

Wishing to malie sure, tho lady quietly called hor Lus band, and tho twostood watching thoprocendings for at lenst ton minutos. Everytiman fly daredte alight on the littlo ono's faco that old rat's friendly tail would brush it away, lile tho guard. ian angol hovoring about us, who, wo beliove, ia constantly brushing away dangers that threaten oor mortals, It was thought safo by tha child’s paronts to loave tho child in charge of its singuler nurse, and for ono hour the little ona slept.

Each time when Jote alono, with the shod door partiully open, the old rat would entor and take up its position over the top of tho cradlo, watehing the little slecper, and brusbing away the flies who dared to troublq its procious chargo. —— A oy ut the Wood-Pile, From the Danbury News, Thoro was & boy in a Nelson stroot yard cut- ting wood youtordny, and he worked ot it ins stiikingly hatural manner, First he pet tha stick on one ond and propared to striko it, when it tumbled down, ‘Then ho stood it up aud pui & aliver undor tho wonk sida to sustain it, und lifted tho ax for tho blow, when it tumbled again, As ho hud got the ax up quito n waya this time, and was fairly quivering with oxpootn. tion, tho reaction was not plenvant.
