IMPORTED AND MA
TuRAI.
2OEITENESS,

Who can tell us the difference between natural
and imported politeness2 And which Is the DesI
for everyday wear?
1t is imported politeness to be unable to eat
With ANYTHING less than silver fork and hnger-
tyiasses 10 ignore cabbage and baked beans, and
to dine when other folks are "taking tea" 1t Is
natural poteness to be on the qui UiUe for your
bashful neighbor's wants; to cat of whatever is
get before you, and make sure thai nobody Is neg
lscted.
The imported article may be seen summing 1T
self or our thoroughfares at any moment IN bal
loon-seeves and light kid gloves; the natural spe-
cimen is sometimes uDsophsticated enough to
help an old apple-woman across the muddy street,
or extend its umbrella on rainy days over the
head of some unprotected sewing-girl.
The importation knows just how and when to
pick up fan OF pocket handkerchief gracefully,
or make bow courteously; he does everything
Just at the right time and would be perfectly self
possessed even in case of earthquake. He thinks
embarrassment little short of crime, and don
know how people can live without delicate per-
fumes and Broadway tailor.
The natural gentleman would rather appear at
disadvantage himself for moment than allow
others to seem or feel awkwark or distressed; he
has 'thank your ready for the slightest service,
and esteems it a privilege to take trouble for
others. He may not understand the intrlcacles
of small talk, but people unconsciousy feel better
and happier for the genuine fund of kindness in
his heart!
The imported article may be the most snowy at
first it has sort of deceptive glitter about it that
stakes in" most spectators, but like cheap calico,
it won't wash and wear. Not that we would BAN
ish it entirely from the land-it is very useful as
an auxiliary. Build foundation of real, natural,
'home-bred courtesy, young men and women, and
then surround it with as many of these artificial
graces as you please. A diamond never yet lost
anything by being polished, but it is rather es-
sential that it should be diam0nd at first. Give
US natural poeness in preference to all the Paris
etiquette that ever crossed the water!

MARCHING TO DEATH-The National Quar-
terly thus depicts a remarkable scene that oc-
CURED some years since on one of the British
transport ships. The commander of the troops
on board, seeing that the vessel must sink,
and there was no hope Of saving his men, drew
them up in order Of battle and as in the presence
of human enemy, bravely faced the doom that
was before them. We know of no more impress
i've illustration of the power of military discipline
in the presence Of DEATH
Look at that noble vessel in yon high sea !!
She has sprung leak all the resources on board
have been called into play for her release from the
deep, but to no avail The waters are gaining
fast on her-beyond human control. She must
sink regiment Of brave, perfectly disciplined
soldiers mustered on deck by quick roll of
the drum; officers and soldiers promptly fill their
rank and file, and shoulder arms See them stand
in serried ranks, and completely accoutered for
long, long march. Not a mourntul dirge, but the
national anthem, is played by the band. The
regimeutal culors hatter in the air-the staff that
supports them is as firm as the stout heart Of the
ensign that holds it. The array OF battle is re-
fected in mournful appt arance the lowering
clouds. which seem anxious to veil the waters,
rippled by the breath Of death Insidiou,y does
the water leap at last over the bulwalks of the
gallant and doomed ship, and down she goes.
The martial voice of the commandant orders,
"Present arms! - rapid succession of orders is
calmly given and calmly executed; the drum beats
quicker and quicker; the muskets thump on the
deck at the last word of command; splash at
their fall, surge of the invading waters, the
drum is silenced, army of bubbles swarms on
the surface, and calm, silent and steady, the last
glare of the polished steel reflects dying ray of
mournful light.

TAKING THE OATH.-A very shrewd, sensible
man, in Maury county, Tenn, who had been a
strong Union man until the Yankees got there,
but who after that, became equally as strong a
Southern man, went to Columbus one day, and
was brought before Gen. Negley. well" said
Gen. Neglcy, "Mr b, you must take the oath be-
fore you go home"
Every well" said B., "just have it boxed up,
General, aud I'll take it out.
"Oh!" said Gen. Negley, you don't understand
me; you must take the oath to support the Gov
eminent of the United States"
"Why, General" said friend B., II have a wife
and several children, and it is as much as can
do to support them. l am a poor man, and l
cant think of supporting the whole United States
that's rather too much"
By this time Neeley became rather impatient
"HeFs," said he handing B. the printed oath,
tread it for yourself"
81 can't read, !" said B.
"Well, them" said Negley, turning to the Pro.
vost Marshal, "give him pass anyhow; he has no
sense"
And thus he went home without taking the
oath. The Yankee General was outwitted that
time. We give this incident as vouched for BY
one of the exchanged Doneson prisoners

story:
"Doctor, if the lame foot won't answer, have
another all-suficient reason-one that you cannot
refuse me exemption for" "What is it ?" asked
the doctor. "Why, the fact is doctor, have not
good sense; l am an idiot" solemnly replied the
applicant "Ah!' said the doctor, what proof
have you of that? What evidence can you bring ?"
