Their numbers are estimated by legions,
therefore a few touches of their leading
characteristics, are sufficient for they are to
be found in all circles. They are highly
respectable family, and being exempt from
human foibles themselves, have no charity
for others. They are also an ancient fami-
ly; indeed their lineage may be traced
back to the era when the Evil One first ar
raigned the justice of the Almig hty, and
like their great ancestor, they are still full
filling their mission, in scattering blight
and discord.
Physically they are subject to an over
flow OF bile, which am told by those bet
ter versed in anatomy, has a tendency to
warp the natural sweetness of ones tenn
perament However that may be. know
they are generally wiry and nervous, acute
in observation and gifted in caustic sar
casm. They have an accurate knowledge
of the depravity of their associates, and
with laudsble zeal, point out all discovera-
bic defects.
Are you minister then always re-
member that your ability, style, manners,
moods, features, costume, are all public
property, and Of course discussed and pick
ed to pieces by gossips of as many COM
plexions as Argus had eyes. If you are
dignifed in your bearing--''too stiff and
reserved to be popular as a minister, sighs
one. If pleasant company or congenial
circumstances of any kind induce you to
forget yourself. as to indulge in a jest,
''too much levity," groans another. If
you are physician and have Mt beard as
long as Turks, and an unlimited amount
of brass. don't expect a call from one of
that family. for they would not trust a sick
duck TO the care of an inexperienced up
start like yourself Are you so unfortu-
nate as to be teacher aud have any repu-

will fly, else what becomes of your bread
and butter ? But if you would have
choice draught of the essence of vine
and vergrice, just compliment s.

in dress, in the hearing ofa feminine Fault

you, as to her friends age, and the power
of cosmetics, her awkward gait, and i'll

yourself doubling your own visual powers.
Speak then, of some one whom you con-

a significant shrug that speaks volumes,
''she hopes that the lady's husband app:e-

Occasionally. you meet travelled gen.
tleman in the family. He never loses an
opportunity Of convincing you that he is
cup to a thing or two.' His conversation
is plentfuly garnished with slang. He is
or tries to be supercilious in his manners
but am inclined to think him the mos
harmless of the species, for being posses
sed of thimblefull of brains, and such
heavenly opinion of himself, he affects the
patronizing make-y ou feel-good air. An
