There is nothing moro difficult to at
tain, or necersary to possess, than perfect
good breeding. which is equally inconsis-
tent with stiff formality, an impertinent
forwarlness, and awkward bashtulness.
4 little ceremony is sometimes necessary;
a certain degree of firmness is absolutely
so, and an awkward modesty is extreme
" unbecoming. In mixed companies,
whoever is permitted to take part in them,
is f.r the time at least, supposed to be
upon a footing Of equality with the rest,
AMI consequently every one claims, and
very justly, every mark OF civilIty
and good breeding. Ease is allowed,
but cacelessness aud negligence are strictly
forbidden. There is nothing so unforgiv-
ing as seeming inattention to the person
who is speaking to you. We have seen
many persons, who, while you are speak
ing to them, instead of looking at and
attending to You, fix their eyes upon the
ceiling, or some other part OF the room.

"save my father, my husband, my son.
my brother, my neighbor," that will
shake the very earth, is not at all improb-
able, and Col Manson informs us, and a
most important information, that our SOL
diers are getting very tired of this war
and restless as to its designs and ultimate
benefits.
This latter information is not Of small
moment. The recent action Of Congress
ON the slavery question, so diamotricaly
opposite to that for which our gallant
soldiers were called into the field, is en-
ough to alarm every one, and as Col.
Manson truly says, has greatly strength
cncd the arm of the rebellion. and as
greatly weakened our own. Had jeff
Davis taken Washington City, driven
out Congress and the National Authori-
ties from there, deeper aad darker gloom
could not spread its pail over the peo-
pie than now prevails in consequence of
the action ct these authorities on the ss-
very question. The people powerless to
act, unwilling to place themselves in a
hostile attitude to their own Government,
ready and willing to sustain in all which
is right, Just, noble, they are on the eve
Of despair, and hopeless as to the future.

IRISH SMARrNEss.-Somewherc IN Ne
vada Territory, an Irshman took job
from a minister, of filling up portion
of his grounds with earth Pat was to
receive six dollars day for the benefit
of himself, horse and cart, till the job
was completed, and the parson agreed to
furnish his son to help. Well, Pat tired
the experiment of killing two birds or
more with one stone. He took cellar
to dig in another part OF the town, and
was to receive six dollars day for the
services OF himself, horse and cart in do
ing the Job. But the cream of the joke
was, Pat hired the parsons son out to
the cellar owner at two dollars and hall
a day, and pocketed the money himself
Pat thus had a mighty "fat take;' he
dug the cellar and filled the parsons lo
at the same time, making twelve dollars
a day, and then added two fifty for th'
labor of the sou. If the people don't lie
up on the Yankees now, there's no justic'
