If there is any defect more striking than
another in the American character it is
bashfulness
Young America, In particular, is painfully
affected by it.
An incident is mentioned by correspon-
dent. who was desired by lis aunt to go to
neighbor Shaw and see if he had for sale
any straw suitable for filing beds.
Mr.. Shaw, says our informant, was
blessed with a goodly number of Misses
Shaw, and therefore felt little timid at
encountering them To make the matter
worse, | arrived just as the family were
seated at dinner. Stopping at the doorway,
hat in hand, l stammered out, Mr.. Stra1o,
can you spare enough Shdtg to fill a couple
Of beds 2
We'll, replied the old gentleman. glanc-
ing around at the large family and enjoying
my mistake. j don't know but can; how

Before l could recover, those hateful
Shaw girls burst into 4 chorus Of laughter
and | returned to my excellent aunt.

Truth Adhere always rigidly and un-
deviatingly to truth; but while you express
what is true, express it in pleasing man
ner Truth is the picture manner is
the frame that displays it to advantage. If
a man blends his angry passions with his
search after truth, become his superior by
suppressing yours, and attend only to the
irstness and force Of his reasoning. Truth
conveyed in austere and acrimonious Ian
guage, seldom has salutary effect, since we
reject the truth, because we are prejudiced
against the mode of communication. A
man may betray the cause Of truth by his
unreasonable zeal, as he destroys its saluta-
~ effects By the aerimony of his manner.
Whoever would be a successful instructor
must become mild and afectionate friend.

barefoot, invited him to ride behind him.
After the boy was seated he began to cate

Ny neighbor Coe has spent in the last
twenty years more than FIVE hundred doe

the peighbors are called on to loan sone
tool. y hammer, saw, gimlet, auger,

QUESTION. 1t takes an average of half
an hour, each working day, to borrow
and return tools, aud other borrowed ar
ticles. That is thirteen days year,
worth at least twenty FIVE dollars. That,
for twenty years, is five hundred dollars,
and there is a present prospect of his
continuing on borrowing as long as he
lives. Half the money, laid out in the

the balance at compound interest, would
