ENcAeING 1rANNERs.

There are a thousand pretty, engaging little
ways, which every person may put on, without
running the risk of being deemed either affected
or foppish. The sweet smile, the quiet, cordial
bow,the earnest movement in addressing friend,
or more especially stranger, whom one may
recommend TO our good regards, the inquiring
glance, the graceful attention which is so capti.
vatiug when united with tpossession-these
will insure Us the good regards of even cbnrl.
Above all, there is certain softness of manner
which should be cultivated, and which, in either
man or woman, adds charm that almost entire
ly compensates for lack of beauty. The voice
can be modnated to inronate, that it will speak
directly to the heart. and from that elicit an
swer; aud poiteness may be made essential 10
our nature. Neither is time thrown away in
attending to such thing, insignificant as they

PROMISES.

There is sort of people in the world OF whom
the young and inexperienced stand much in need
to be warned. These are the sanguine pro-
misers. They may be divided into two sOrts.-
The first are those who, from foolish custom
of fawning upon all those they come in compa-
ny with, have acquired n habit Of promising 10
do great kindness, which they have no thought
of performing. The other are sort of warm
people, who, while they are lavishing away their
promises, have really some thought of doing
what they engage for; but afterwards, when the
time of performance comes, the sangnine fit be-
ing gone off, the trouble or expense appears in
another light; the promiser cools, and the exPec
tant is bubbled or perhaps greatly injured by the
disapuointment

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Wholesome sentiment is rain, which makes
the fields of daily life fresh and odorons.
Intellect is not the moral power; conscience
is Honor, not talent, makes the gentleman.
That state of life is most happy wherein super
fuities are not required, and necessarles are not
wanting.
Pride destroys all symmetry and grace, and at-
than the small pox. F
Self.loye is at once the most delicate and the
most tenacious of our sentiments mere no.
thing will wound it, but nothing on earth"wlll
kill it.
You cannot fathom your mind. There is a
we'll of thought there which has no bottom. The
more YOU draw from it the more clear and Plen-
tifu it will be.
Years are the sum of hours. Vain is it at
vide Intervals to say, "I'll save this year., 1t at
each narrow interval you do not say, "Ili save
this hour"
knowledge may slumber in the memory, but
it never dies; it is like the dormouse IN the lVeo
tower, that sleeps while winter lasts, out awakes
with the warm breath Of spring.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists-in the
heart. They only deny its worth and power who
never loved friend, or labored to make friend
happy.
The triumphs Of truth are the most glorious.
chiefly because they are the most boodiess ot all
victories, deriving their highest lustte from the
number of saved. not oil the SLAIN.
II ia useless to look forward to a future state
of prosperity, if The present be not occupied to-
ware 5 laying the foundation OF it, Many cling
10 distant hope, and reject progressive GER
tafnty.
Anger is the most impotent passion thatinfiu-
ences the mind of man; it effects nothing 1t nn,
derlakes and hurts the man who Is possessed
by il, more than the object against which it Ia
directed.
Ills one of the singular facts of the present
state Of society, that the qualities which in theo-
ry we hold TO be most lovely and desirable, are
precisely those which in'prsc1Iee we treat win
The greatest contumely and disgrace
When one sees family of children going q
school in clean and welImended clothing it tells
great deal in favor of their mother; one might
vonch that those children Learn some valuable
lessons at home, Whatever they may be taught al

our MOTHER.

Children oughtto loye,robey and honor their
naTents. Let your mother, in particular, who in
your tender years has the more immediate charge
of YOU, be ON earth the most sacred object OF Your
canfidant. Conceal nothing from her, but make
her acquainted with the company which you
keen, The books which you read, aud even The
faults which you commit. Happy IS the son;
and rticularly the daughter, who are not afraid
10 communicate to their mother their more se-
cfet thoughas. While they remain thus artless
nd nndisenised, they are free from danger
Children obey your parents in yonth; but when
ever YOU are no longer under their care, let not
