SINGULAR ABSENCE AND RETURN, OF A IoUNG

her whereabouts
On Saturday morning last, after an absence
of seucf months the young lady returned to her

Refinement and Coed Manners.

| A refined species of civility is some.
times expressed by the term poli,eness."
/ which Is an exterior indication of good
manners, and may be defined as that
mode of behavior which not only gives no
| offence, but which affords agreeable SEN
sanons 10 those around US In our inter-
course with the world. This species Of ci-
Witty Is imperative. No one posses the
right TO give offence by language or &C.
tons 10 others and all are bound to con-
duct themselves agreeable to the reason
able and set rules of society. Some
severe writer's on morals have confounded
poiiteness with insincerity. They seem
to imagine that the act of speaking grace
tuiiy TO another is necessarily mere GRIM
ace or an empty flourish signifying moth
ing In many instances, with insincere
people. this may be the case, bt.t II is nor
SO with those of we'll regulated minds
1t is always better 10 speak politely-that
Is, with extreme proprlety and delicacy-
than coarsely, illhumoredly, or imperti-
nently. Pollteness of manner should,
therefore, by all means bs cultivated for
It is refined ciVility, and will spare both
ourselves and others much unnecessary
pain, besides adding greatly to the harmo-
ny of society.
Civilized society has, in course of time.
instituted certain rules In the code of po-
likeness. which though in one sense of lit
tie actual value, IT is the duty of every one
to learn. because by knowing and acting
upon them, life can oe made to glide On
much more smoothly and pleasantly
These rules are sometimes called the
rules of euduette and among them is
that of honor 10 the female sex. Women
are physically weaker than men. They
are uuable TO defend themselves from
insult or injury, and il would be consider
ed indellcate for them to do so, even IL
they possessed the power. For these and
! other reasons, II is only simple poll,eness
and sign of good sense 10 render any

IN what is called good society, women are
treated with exceeding delicacy and def
ference, they are olierd the best seat,
or the only seat if there be no other -
allowed to walk next to The wall, or a,
he farthest point from danger, IN the
street; never rudely jostled against in 4
! crowded thoroughfare and are always
parted from with respectful bow. All
this is considered essential in good man
ners. A. the same time, as respects
those who receive these attentions. it is
expected that they will not " give them
selves foolish airs or presume on the
forbearance and kindness of the stronger
sex.

Every part of a mans person testifies
to his predominant feelings and sentiments.-
but the eye, as the window of the soul. is the
best index of the prevailing emotion. Ii speaks
of sickness or health, sorrow or Joy, purity or
guilt. There are eyes all innocence, as well as
organs out of which restless gRomes and de-
mons peer. Some eyes threaten like loaded
and levelied pistol and others are AS insulting
as kissing or kicking; some have ex-
preston than blueberries, while others are As
deep a well which you can fall into. Then
there are noses of mark. The nasal organs of

WALKING AND PuRE AIR.-Anaxmines taught
that air is mind. Sume one else says air is the
hidden food of life. Plutarch seems to incline
to Anaxinines opinion, remarking perhaps the
reason why there Is sympathy OF feeling on
varl"us subjects, arising from breathing the same
air. Air Is an exhalation of all numerals of the
globe the most elaborately finished of all the
works OF the Creater-the rock of ages disin-
tegrated and fitted up for the life of man. All
classes of men affim this. Sidney Smith says
TO public speakers, that If they would walk ,
miles before speaking. they would never break
down. In English Universities, boat races,
horseback rides, and ten mile walks are a part
of the educational means for physical develop
ment Plato says walk in the open air viii
