Something for Everybody.

/
When you walk in the street with lady.
keep your hands out Of your pockets, and
your cigar out of your mouth. We would
sooner be caught Stealing than in the act
of smoking while walking with a LADY,
Don I change sides with heron crossing the
street it is qniie as proper that you
should fall through cellar doors and other
traps set by careless people, as that she
should. Always take the right hand when
you meet another person, and don't stop.
At table take the dish the host offers you.
and don't pass it to the nearest neighbor,
eyenif a lady it is ungenerous to reproye
your host or hostess to his or her face
There is point where selfsabnegation be-
comes fudeness, and this is precisely that
point. The person who gives the enter
tainment has perfect right to say which
shall be served first. Don't offer your
chair to- a newcomer, uffessit is the only
one of the kind and the best in the room.
Rise when another guest leaves the house
where you are entertained, but do not
follow to the door. You may thus
spoil more cordial leaye-taking Don't
sit cross legged inpresence Of ladies, or in
company Of ceremony. Keep your fingers
out Of your button holes, and yours hands
from off your lap. Make yourself as COM
Portable as you can without incommoding
any one. Your host, if a gentleman, al
ways likes to see his guests comfortable
and contented. Be neither pump nor a
pdmper, but alternately resume both con-
ditions. Ask and answer questions with
diplomatic propriety. Speak we'll of peo-
pie, or speak not at all. Nothing indicates
greater defect of colloquial ability than VII
ituperation, slander, or angry defamation,
Maintain repose if the earth quakes.-
Don't squeeze lady's hand, for besides be-
ing a vulgar demonstration of affection,
ladies often wear rings The slightest pos
sible pressure is in good taste. But there
is difference betweenthe respectful and
the really kind, scarcely perceptible pres
sure of the whole hand and persistent
grip that leaves the fingers white for an
hour, and a lady disguSted with you for a
week. Always wear a clean shirt and col
lar, and do not fail to use tooth brush.
ALI of which is respectfully submitted to
those who would be recognized as persons
of good breeding. .s,f s. akr.f s.fF4el fia

A LITTLE foo Rine.

aware, it is the custom for planters at the
South to purchase clothing for their slaves
by the wholesale and as, of course, they

the good. An acquaintance of ours tells
US that on one occasion he laid in a box of
shoes, and distributed them among the ne
groes. A few day afterwards, "Old Bob,'
a favorite servant, found that the shoes
that had fallen to his lot were bursting out.
So, going to his master, he said 3: fss1

Many instances have been given by trav-

much, also, has sheen written TO prove their
sagacity, s'toi make one believe, at times,
that they must. be endowed with an instinct
which approaches nearly, if not quite, to
the reasoning faculty of a human being
Be this, however, as it may, we very much

exceed in affectionate devotion the follow
ing incident, which was told to us a few
days since at Saratoga, by the soldier to

placing his mouth close to his ear, uttered
loud snort, Now thoroughly awake he
sprang up, and as the horse turned for him
to mount, he saw, for the first time, that
his comrades had all disappeared, and that
the enemy were coming down upon him at
full gallon. + Once mounted, the faithful

A Chicken Diet.

Among the patients which Dr. LIT,
had at one time, was one to whom while
still under the Doctors care, it chanced
that he with Doctor S., and num-
ber of other friends, was invited to gen.
tleman's dinner party, given by a mutual
acquaintance. The principal dish was fowls
and as the patient set on the right of the
host the platter was passed to him first
The man helped himself very freely-more
SO than politeness allowed-not only to the
annoyance of the host, but of DR.. 5
also, who happened to sit at the end OF the
table. and began to think his chance was
slim. Gazing for few moments at the
contents Of the patients plate, the blunt
man asked, in tone of half rebuke, halt

The Victory that Overcomes the
World.

| Victory over self, is victory over the
world 1t is not the outward enemy, but
the traitor within, that storms or UNDER
mines the citadel of spiritual life.g Alas
| that the gates are so often unbarred for the
hosts of evil to enter.di Alas that the soul
should so easily surrender, and suffer itself
| to be laid waste. AS in the conflict of ma
tioDs the conquering army reinforces its own
! strength by the munitions of war taken from
! the vanquished foe, so does the victorious
soul gather new force from every struggle
| with temptation. Us aia5ggs g.nsa g.a.
Yet the victory is gained, not by self-con-
6dence and spiritual pride, but by humility
and self-abnegation. The humble soul alone
is truly Strong, and safe from fall. What
outward power can abase him, who, while
he reverences the nature God has given him
still is lowly in his own eyes esteemlng
others better than himself?Ho What cir
cumstance or condition in life can be adj
verse to him whose will is merged in the
will of God Oh, the strength that grows
from self-renunciation! Oh, the peace that
flows in upon the will subdued, when the
man, though "lord of himself" through en-
tire mastery over his affections and passions
feels that all bis strength is in God, and in
the might of Him who overcame the world!
TO him the tide of life flows like a broad
rivers peaceful might" through sunshine
and through storm bearing steadily on its
appointed course. His abundant peace is
not stoicism Like that of his divine Mas
ter, his heart is the home of all sweet aHec-
tions He is still u being of smiles and tears
tenderly alive to the joys of human sympa-
thy, both in giving and receiving the bless
ed charities of life. At leisure from etern-
