PoLIrENEss BETWEEN BRorHEn, AND Sis.

PoLITENEss BETWEEN BROTHERS AND SIS
rERs.-By endeayoring to acquire habit Of
Politeness, it will soon become familiar, and
SIT on you with ease, if not with elegance
Let it never be forgotten that genuine polite
ness is great fosterer Of family love; it al
lays accidental irritation. by preventing harsh
retorts and rude contradictions; it softens the
bolsterous, stimulates the indolent, suppress
ses selfshness, and, by forming habit Of
consideration for others, harmonizes the
whole.
Politeness begets politeness, and brothers
may easily be won by it to leave off the rude
ways they bring home from school or col
iege Sisters ought never to receive any
little attention, without thanking them for it.,
never to ask favor Of them but in courte-
Gus terms, never to reply to their questions
in monosyllables, and they will soon be
ashamed to do such things themselves. Both
Precept and example ought to be laid under
contribution, TO convince them that no one
can have really good manners abroad who is
not habitually polite at home.

AN AUcTIoNEER CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
Smith, the auctioneer, is popular man, a
wit and gentleman. No person is offended
at what he says, and many hearty laugh
has he provoked by his humorous sayings
He was recently engaged in sale of vene-
rable household furniture and I" fixins." He
had just got to "going, going, and half, a
half, going" when he saw smiling counte-
nance, upon agricultural shoulders, wink at
him. A wink is always as good as a nod to
a blind horse, or to keen-sighted auctionecr,
so Smith winked and the man winked, and
they kept winking, and Smith kept "going,
going, going" with lot of glassware, stove
pipes, carpets, pots and perfumery, and final
ly the lot was knocked down
"To-a who" " said Smith, gazing at the
smiling stranger.
"Who' Golly!" said the stranger, 81
dunno-who-"
"Why, you, sir, said Smith.
Who, me!"
eyes, yes, you bid on the LOT, " said Smith.
"Me, darned if did," insisted the stran-
ger.
''Why, did not you wink and keep wink
ing?"
winking! Well did; so did you wink
at me. thought you was winking as much
as to say, keep dark. I'll stick somebody in
that lot of stuff" and wiDked as much as
to say-'l'll be darned if you don't, mister.

Increase of Gold.

The New York Herald says " for the cur
rent year, from the impulse given to emigra-
tion to Australia, we think it within the
bounds of moderate production to say that
the total yield of the mines Of that vast
country will be equal, and perhaps far beyond
the imperial sum total of one hundred mil
lions Of dollars. From California we may
count upon fifty millions, which added to the
estimate for Australia, will make solid ad-
dition to the basis of the currency of the
world of one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars through the course Of the current
year.

sTe One of the prettiest of Christmas
customs is the Norwegian practice of giving,
on Christmas day, dinner to the birds. On
Christmas morning, every gable, gateway
or barn door, is decorated with sheaf of
corn fixed on the top of a tall pole, where
from it is intended that the birds shall make
their Christmas dinner. Even the peasants
will contrive to have handful set by for this
purpose, and what the birds do not eat on
Christmas-day, remains for them to finish at
their leisure through the winter.
