Wo Wlievc this uleisanl aniuspmpnt for i
boys ?tul girls, nnd tomelimes I hose of more
ronture nge, oriirini'ed in Qerir.nny, where
it i< on 11 ctl virl lieMicn, wlticb, ns it is spoken,
has iho Found of jJiillj/kin?which
tuny hnvo boon iho oiiuin of our word, to
which wc hnvc given a Latin '?*rrnit?ali?*n ?
pena?beenuse it infers p peniili'v or foi failure
exneted or won by the l?ot or nvwiige
nient of ihc winning p-trly. With us Iho thing
is mnnnged, however, exceshively clumsy,
mid quite without skill. A person ill company
chances to find a double-mealed til
mond, and hands half the meat lo another,
nr.d says, or miller should say : " Will you
eat a phitopenn with me?" The other may
say, " I ftm afraid," and refuse, or may nocept
one of the tints, nnd cat ii at the same
time the challenging party eats the other.
Thus they separate ; but when they meet j
ngsiin, the onnlhnl can't think lo s:ij' "pliilopena"
first to the oilier wins the fnifoit, '
xnd has a light to name what it shall be?
generally, among children, some trillo ; or
among young folks, some little present, suitable
to the condition of the parties. Thus,
n young lady who w ins a philoppnn of a
gentleman may immediately add, " I v/enr
a.l Li/1* M If llwi riui*lii?fi in ll*r?

street, tlie l.idy may say, "Oh, yes; I sec
von notice tint my parasol is getting old.?
NVoii, then, I accept." mii the gentleman
must never ulluilo to her want of nn article,
but exercise his judgment as to what would
he acceptable. Generally, in our hot haste j
to win philoperin, we forget propriety, and
bccomc rude, in I his land. of thrift niul hut- i
ry. The thing is fur better and nvors pleasantly
managed i-i (Jormunv, and calls into
pxitcisp some oi uie most iiseiui incuniesoi
the mind. When a couple meet the next
time after having ca'.ci) philopena together,
no advantage is token of the other until
one of them pronounces the word 44 philopena."
This is the Warning llint now
the fp"rl is to begin. T,ct ns suppose thai I
a gentleman e.nlls upon a lady ; she invites |
him to walk in, but at the same time speaks I
the talismiinic woid. If he accepts the of- ;
fer to walk in, is lost, unless she removes
the b in bv telling him to go away. If she
nslts ijir.? to lake <>11 his i.at, lie m^st rosp- ]
lutelv keep it on ; if to bo sealed, lie must
stand ; or if At the table she should hand
hiin any article winch he accepts, she wins
the forfeit. At the same time, he is watching
to catch her off her gtnrd?for Che fir<t
acceptance of any offer from the oilier ends
the game. Both ale constantly exercising
their wits to prevent being caught, and (he
uport often goes on all the evening. Perhaps
the gentleman brings n liulo present.,

smooth speech, she loses, for lie immediately
cl.ums forfeit. If neither wins at the first
meeting, the sport is continued at the eecnnd
; and it may happen thai half n dt'ieii
parties meet at the same time, all anxious
to win of their philopena partners?so that
the scene often hecohics ludicrously amusing.
How preferable is this German play
to our ov/n ? And as the sport derived
from philopena is very innocent and pretty, I

The egotism of our American journals,
as a general thing, is perhaps the most serious
drawback upon their usefulness of the
niure elevated sphere of influence in keeping
in thu background the more individualized
" 1," which the editor is in too many
instances anxious to keep prominently in
the view of his readers. A newspaper should

composed indeed of ninny parts, and necessarily

with its aggregate diameter idouo that tho
public has any concern. The personal concerns
of its editors, their likes or dislikes,
