Politeness.

One of the English infdels was SO
struck with the politenass and good feel
ing manifested in ST. Paul's writings,
that he affirmed that if ST.. Paul had said
that he himself had ever performed a
miracle, he would have believed it. be-
cause he deemed st. Paul too much of a
gentleman to tell an untruth. Whatever
we may think of this remark. we cannot
but be struck with the power which DO.
liteness had over the in6del. And as this
infidel is not an exception, il may be well
10 show some few Of the advantages of
being polite.
l. We conform TO the Scriptures III
St. Paul taught politeness by his example,
so he did in his writings. He tells us,
A." In honor we must prefer one another"
Here is the great secret of polteness. viz:
forgetfulness of self. In another place
he sys, Be courteous in other
words, be polite. -.
2. We make Misunderstanding SO
wins upon strangers as true politeness.
A little attention, shown in stage, or in
the cars, or at public table. costs us very
little. But what an effect it has upon the
persons to whom the attention is shown
The pleasant look, the grateful smile,
show us we have gained friend.
8. We increase our usefulness One
reason why ministers and good Christian
people have no more influence, is on c.
count of their sour face and lorbidding
countenance. They lock as if thew said
-" Keep away from me-" But if they
allow The vulgar TO approach within reach
of their majestic presence. there is a
pompous manner or way they have which
prevents the hearts Of others going out
to them, and thus influence over such
people is lost. e t s..
10 A.. Ngiues SUCCESS. s.-Let any man who
has goods to sell, or Office to attain, be
kind and polite; no sham-like that pu
on by the politicians-and his goods are
sold, and his Office reached, ten times
sooner than the man who looks mad, and
cuts you up as he cuts off his calicoes
and clothes. '.a0. ID 5nsi
Politeness, of all things earthly. costs
the least. But its power--it is not say.
ing too much-is tremendous. As Sid
ney Smith said of Daniel Webster, I" He
was steam engine in irowsers," so we
say of the really genuine and polite man
--he, too. is steam engine his power
in his particular sphere is wonderful. He,
other things being anything like equal,
will accomplish good in the world -,

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN CALCULA
TONS

TIoSs.
The black republicans boast Of their strength in Penn
sylvaua and say they will carry for Fremont The M
correspondents Of BENEFITS Herald writing from
that State confidently predict this specimen
the figuring upon which such conclusion Is based may
Be in the following taken from late letter written
At Pittsburg:
From somewhat extended intercourse with the bes,
posted up leaders Of the several factions whose
estimates kindly presented TO me feel warranted in
Masking the statement that this county will record At the
ensuing election republican majority OF tbirtyegh,
hundred votes As 10 the general presidential election
fusion between the Fillmore and republicans here
icing esteemed impraccability variety OF opinions
obtain. Assuming that the Rght will be triangular one
which do not believe myself having wandered about
the State Of late in different directions enough assure
70 the eontrary-the following furnished from the
most discreet may be stated the several party
computations, viz Fillmore, 10000 Buchanan 10000
Fremont $4,000.
In the approaching State contest after a travel Of
nearly fifteen hundred miles in middle eastern and west
Pennsylvania and the fest fullest
with the several parties in nearly every section incline
very decidedly TO the conclusion that the gombined oppo
son forces will carry the State by the majority enume-
rated in my Indiana COMMUNICATIVE twelve
thousand
Il win Be that the aggregate vote for President Is
estimated at $4,000 The interest felt in the ensuing State
election Is great that the full vote Of the State will h,
brought out According therefore 70 this prediction ~
$4,000 majority for the fusonsts the democratic vote
would be 2l55OO and that Of the opposition 22750O Now
to reach the figures down as The estimated vote OF the
three presidential candidates must subtract $500
from the democratic and $4,000 from the usionsts These
hgures added make 10000 for Fillmore leaving $4,000
for Buchah4n, and 1914 900 for Fremont
The absurdity Of this calculation viii be seen At once
and must be acknowledged BY al reasonable men IL il
simply ridiculous 70 suppose that 265Oo democrats ser
voting the State ticket, would turn round and vote for
Fillmore against Buchanan They win do nothing Of the
kind All the votes received by Fillmore must be taken
from The fusion vote at the State election Buchanan viii
be nearly II not quite 10000 stronger than the democratic
vote on the f4h and that day the democrats are
hdent Of carrying the State by At least 1000 majority
