Courtesy in The Family.

If any one doubts whether the family circle is
frequent witness Of want Of due courtesy,
even among its well disposed members, let him
apply one test which to us seems perfectly safe
that is, which never unjustly casts censure, tho
often too liberal in its acqnlttas, viz. Would
you speak thus to husband wife sister, brother,
child, &c, if a stranger was PRESENT.
We of course do not refer to the thousand in
stances in which parent unbendS himself to
engage in the sports and irolics of his child, nor
to language uttered in the way ofjudIcious disci-
pine, but to ordinary intercourse as among com
panions and associates
Not only will this test condemn all rudencSs
on the part of equals in age and condition, bat
Of parents in their intercourse with children, and
of teachers with pupils. The 81 will" and Il
wont" so obnoxious on the part of children, no
one defends, though our ears do, even now, hear
some times from those almost or quite at years
of 'treedom," language equally impertlncnt ad-
dressed even to the aged. But such gross instan-
ces of Improperly are too universally ccnsurabIe
to need comment. Not only is it wrong for
children to use such language to parents, or pu.
pills to teachers, but it is equally wrong for pa.
rents and teachers thus to address children and
scholars 1t is uncoureous, and they have nc
right to set such an example before the young
A parent or teacher has no more right to tram
pie upon the rules Of good breeding and kind
ness than any body else. In some respects such
an example from them is fraught with the great
est possible evil.
The language of refinement only should be
tolerated in family or in schooI-room, and
81, al eh,,
to violate this rule.
Our public tables, the coach, car, and steam
boat, would net exhibit so much Of the ludcrou'
nor Of the offensive, if this rule was strictly OBJ
served in the family circle and the school room.
If parents would always exhibit courtesy il
their intercourse with their children, in most ca
SEES children would be courteous to each othe
and to their associates and acquaintance.

The Signs Of the Times.

A new comprehension of the Christian spirit,
"a new reverence for humanity, new feeling
of brotherhood and of al mems relation to the
common Father,-this is among the signs of our
times. We see it do we not feel it! Before
this all expressions are to fall. Society, silently
pervaded by this, is to change its aspect of uni
versal warfare for peace. The power of selfish
ness, all-grasping and seemingly invincible, is to
yield to this diviner energy. The song of an
gels, On Earth Peace, will not always sound as
fiction. o come, thou kingd Am Of Heaven, for
which we daiypra Come, Friend and Savior
of the race, who didst shed thy blood on the
cross to reconcile man to man, and earth to
Heaven! Come, ye predicted ages Of righteous
ness and love, for which the faithful have SO long
yearned Come, Father Almighty, and crown
with thine cmnipotence the humble strvings Of
thy children to subyert oppression and wrong, to
spread light and freedom, peace and joy, the
truth and spirit of thy Son, through the whole
earth
