POLITENESS.

One Of the English infdels was so struck
with the politeness and good feeling mani
Tested in ST. Panl's writings, that he affirmed
il St. Paul had said that he himself had per-
formed miracle, he would believe it, because
he deemed st. Paul too much Of gentleman
to tell an untruth. Whatever we may think
OF this remark, we cannot but be struck with
the power which politeness had over the in
fidel. And as this inidcl is nat an exception,
II may be well to show some few Of the adj
yantages of being polite.
|. We conform 10 The Scriptures. If St.
Paul taught politeness by his examples
did he in his writings, He tells u.s. Inhonor
we must prefer one another" Here is the
great secret OF politeness, viz, inrgetiulness
OF self. In another place he SAYS, j" BE cour.
teous," in other words-be polite.
2. We make friends. Nothing 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 pleased
look, the eratified smile, show US we have
gained friend.
3. We increase our usefuiaess. One reason
why ministers and good christian people have
no more influence, is on account Of their sour
face and forbidling countenance. They look
as il they 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 ol others going out to
them, aud thus influence over such people is
lost.
4. IL gice success. Let any man who has
goods TO sell, or office to attain, be kind and
poiite-no sham, like that put on by the po-
litleians-and his goods are srld aud his Of.
tice reached, ten times sooner than the man
who looks mad and cuts you up US as he cuts
oil his calicues aud cloths.
Politeness, OF all things earthly, costs the
least. But its power, II is not saying too
much, IS tremendous. As Sidney Smith sal,l
OF Daniel Webster, g he was steam engine
in troasers,' 80 we say Of the really genuine
polite mamie, too, is a steam rngine-his
power in this particular sphere. S wonderful.
lie. other thing brings anything like equal.
will accomplish good in the world.

vocation. As the material interests of society
demand that we should have thrifty mechan-
les, adventurous merchants and enterprsng
capitalists, so the moral, social, political
and religious wants of the race require
teachers. statesmen, authors and clcrgymen.
1t is as invidious as it is false, therefore, for
one class to say to another, in the spirit of
the Pharisee, "stand aside, am holer than
th0u." The present wants of society call
for the man Of action as fully as its future
development calls for the man Of thought.
The vast and complicated machine Of human
affairs would come 10 a dead lock without
either. One wheel is as necessary as The
other, aud as noble, II there is any question
Of nobility at all. Let each man lufI his
vocation, taking care to perform his work
fully, and not be, as many are, carcature
OF his class; for the man Of action should
not degenerate into mere miser, nor should
the man OF thought pass into crazy dreamer
or ldealoglst. PhA Leiger
TERRIBLE PANTHER FIGHr.--A few evenings
since SIS William Pate, well known in these
parts as a kickapoe Ranger, was mcandering
the crooked trail from this town to Port
William, he was halted By a respectable look
ing iootpad, in the shape Of fall grown male
panther, and requested to stand and deiy-
er." Mr.. Pate objected to the sury man
nerIn which the demand was made, and
informed his tiger like majesty that his
property, all tuld. consisted OF an empty
bnttIe aud bowie knife, both Of which he
stood in need OF, and, as he was in a hurry,
hp wOuld he obliupd In the upntlpman IN
retire. As that was not what Mr.. Panther
desired, and as lie showed his teeth and
gradually insinuated himself towards Mr..
Pate, Mr.. Pate waxed wrothy, aud let Mr..
Panther have the bottle over his pate, with
all the nervous energy of a strong arm. That
act being considered By Mr.. Panther as
declaration of war, he closed in on our Pate,
who being some himself, and thing 10th
for an engagement now that his blood was
up, seized his beligerant opponent by the
scap-lock with his left hand, while he
applied the shining steel viii, the right toI
the sleek vest Of his antagonist. In a
few moments Panther had as beautiful a
slashed jerkin" as one would wish TO see.
while Pate, still in the ascendency, stood BY
minus coat, hat, brceches, some hide, part
OF an ear, and considerable hair; actual,
nothing left hut boots and bowie knife. But
our friend was victor, and nothing daunted
he shouldered his enemy and carried him
home, where he was measured by several
neighbours, one Of whom has kindly furnished
us with the full measurement Of the animal
