There is this important difference between love and friendship; while the former delights in extremes and opposites, the latter demands equalities. About the year 1768 the beats and calls of the drum, then used in tbe service, were put into a permanent shape. The tattoo, or beat of the drum calling soldiers to their quarters at night, was once called * tap-too,’ from the Dutch word signifying ‘ no more drink to be tapped or sold.’ We make our worst mistake when we begin to correct the mistakes of our friends.
