Company Manners.


There is no greater education into vul-
garity than home carelessness. A man
or woman brought up under such sys-
TEN is ruined for all the reality of re-
finement in after years. The surliness
too often allowed ut home, where chill
dren are permitted to be snappish, in
jures the manners as much rs it hurts
the mind. Hence we come to company
manners, to sickly sweetness put on
simply for the occasion, to formality of
speech and an oppressiveness of atten-
tions, to an exaggerated politeness that
is so terribly afraid of transgressing in
to liberties as to be absolute bondage,
and to all the silly little afectations be
longing to the condition.
We never know any one whom we
have not lived with, and even then not
always. To be admitted into the Tem-
pie does not include entrance into the
asylum and we may remain for weeks
. in house where master and mistress and
maids are all reticent alike, and may
know nothing of the reality underlying
the surface. People of whom once
knew something, and who were notori-
ously ill-matched, but marvelously po-
lite, could keep their house full of COM
pany, and yet allow none of their guests
to find out that the husband and wife
were not on speaking terms. All the
communication between them that was
absolutely necessary was carried on by
writing. Personally, these two, dispens-
ing smiles and civilities to all around,
held no direct intercourse. Yet they
managed so we'll that no one saw through
the screen.
With company manners and company
dress, there is also company voice
Who does not know that false voice of
society? Mincing or thrown boldly for
ward, flung into the chest or pitched up
the head, it is all the same-the compa-
ny voice, accent, choice of words, and
register-all artificial alike. And there
are company gestures. People sit and
stand and walk, and use their hands ac-
cording to the different degrees Of famil-
iarity in which they stand towards their
society. There is vast deal of compa-
ny .make-believe among us; and if we
would only give half the time we now
bestow Oh Cooking pretty and be-
having pretty" in society, to be sweet
tempered, and amiable, and careful of
pleasing, at home, it would be all the
better for ourselves and our families,
and gain in the way of true civiliza-
tion.-AH the Year Round

Home Politeness.

Should an acquaintance tread on your
dress, your best, your very best, and by
accident tear it. how profuse you are
with your "never minds-don't think of
til don't care at ALL" If husband
does it, he gets frown; if child he is
chastised.
A gentleman stops at friends house,
and finds it in confusion. "He don't
see anything to apologize for-never
thinks of such matters everything is
all right, cold supper, cold room, cry
ing children" perfectly comfortable"
He goes home ; his wife has been tax
ing care of the sick ones, and worked
her life almost out. Don't see why
things can't be kept in better order
there never was such cross children be-
fore" No apologies except away from
home.
Why not be polite at home? Why
not use freely the golden coin of courte-
sy how sweet they sound, those little
words l thank you" or "you are
very kind" Doubly, yes, trebly sweet
from the lips We love, when heart-smiles
make the eyesparkle with the clear light
of affection.
Be polite to your children. Do you
expect them to be mindful of your well
fare, to grow glad at your approach, to
bound away in your pleasure before your
request is half spoken Then, with all
your dignity and authority mingle po-
liteness. Give it a niche in your house.
hold temple. Only then will you have
the secret of sending out into the world
really finished gentlemen and ladies.
Again we say unto all-be polite

Chinese Etiquette.

Etiquette requires, in Chinese conver-
sation, that each should compliment the
other, and everybody and everything be-
longing to him, in the most laudatory
style, and depreciate himself and all per-
tanning to him to the lowest possible
point. The following is not an exagger-
alton: "What is your honorable name?"
& My Insignificant appellation is Chang"
Where is your magnificent palace T'-
My contemplate hut is at Luchan."
+" How many are your illustrious chill
dren ?" "My vile worthless brats are
FIVE" "How is the health of your dis
tinguished spouse y MY mean, good
Tor nothing old woman is well.' Some
thing Of this same policy of self-depreci-
alton prevailed among our own people in
old times. For instance, guests or g WIS.,
itors" at friends house would compli-
ment the entertainment offered; but the
good housewife accepted the compliment
by depreciating everything served Oh the
table, for instance: What a fine table
you have set; your meats are excellent
such fine, light biscuit, your tea is just
exactly right, and what splendid per
serves" Oh no. our cooking is misera.
BILE to-day, the meat is so tough Polly
had bad luck with the biscuits; and oul
tea is rather poor, too; and we failed
a'rfia on preserves" Many of our Older
people will recollect how folks used "tc
go on" in this style in the good old wis
ting days, and they enjoyed it nc
doubt as much as the Chinese who origi
mated and still practice the same Ell
quette. But now how changed. Peopl,
blow their own horns in these latter
days, on the Nasbian principle, no doubt
that " he who bloweth not his own horr
the same shall not be blowed"

been seen to murder white captive chill
drer in their hands. These instantly
met the fate of their warrior braves
The ground was strc~n with blankets,
robes, and clothing, shed by the fugi-
tives. Nearly 1000 animals (horses,
ponies, and mules) were surrounded and
driven in by detachments when the fight
opened. A great many rifles, pistols,
saddles, lariats, brides, robes, &C., were
taken; also, large quantities of ammuni-
ton, dried meat, and other food, all of
which we destroyed. together with the 81
lodges. When the squaws and children
were overtaken, collected together, and
turned back in their flight, they defiantly
and resignedly chanted their war or death
songs. Even the youngest did this, ex-
pecting to be put 10 de atf Capt. Louis
Hamilton, Major ]. H. Elliott, and Bre-
vet Lieut.. Col. A. Barnitz fell in the
fight. Black Kettle had for some time
been disposed to keep peace with the
whites, but had been overruled by his
tribe. At the first sound of horses feet,
when the cavalry approached, he sprang
outside his lodge, and sounded the war
whoop, then shouted that the whites were
coming to kill them all, and that he was
glad of it. Thus he fell, and died with
his faithless braves, though seeking for
the right" The village had no sooner
been taken than swarms of mounted Ar
rapahoe warriors approached at full speed
from their village few miles below,
drawn hence by the sound of firearms.
They began circling around the village,
after their custom-now dashing up and
firing, now retreating in crooked, circling
courses behind hills and knolls They
cut off few of our bravest, but more
imprudent men. Yet, we well knew that
many a pomp-saddle was emptied ere
those few fell. The battle is over, and
the field covered with dead animals and
savages, muddy and smeared, and lying
upon each other in holes and ditches.-
The field resembles vast slaughter PEN
We have 80 prisoners.

A Moral View of Smoking.

Please don't smoke If you have not
formed the habit, keep yourself out Of
temptation. If you are just beginning
to like the smell, perchance the taste, of
a fragrant Havana" don't go beyond
the beginning. If the habit has fairly
got hold of you, shake it off, 1t is much
better, in every way, that you should alb
stain from the filthy, inconvenient, dele
terious practice of smoking. Better for
your pocket; better for your health
better for your intellect, and better fer
yoav morals. And that is just the point
we are after-the animus of our injunc-
ton. And now we know just what will
happen. Nine-tenths of those who read
this will turn at once to not less than a
good dozen of excellent people-pious
Christian people-folks who live virtu-
ously, and make the world better for
their living-but who, nevertheless, do
smoke, and that habitually and persist
emily. But, allowing this to be true
which we do-what does it prove just
what can be proven by the prevalence of
any other deleterious habit-the power
of Divine Grace and we'll settled human
convictions to withstand the tendencies
of evil. A man is not better for being
the slave of foolish or evil habit. He
is, by so much, the worse. Show us an
excellent man who is an habitual smoker
and we will show you one who would be
a better man were he to break the thrall
dom. We have two individuals in our
mind (both ministers of the Gospel, "in
good standing J, both inveterate smokers.
We have met them frequently, and un-
der various circumstances-at home and
abroad, in the pulpit and out of it. They
are strangers to each other, but are both
"good fellows" and have slots of
friends" When they travel they care
fully stow away their wives and babies in
the regular passenger car, while they re-
pair to the smoking car to enjoy their
.avorite weed and the company of all'the
blacklegs and loafers on the train. AT
the public hotels their families have ac-
cess to the parlors, while they are driven
to the filthy bar-rooms. The society into
which their baleful habit throws them is
almost invariably pernicious, and the
habit itself is perpetual stumbling
block in all their efforts to lead others in
the better way. They are in constant
warfare with conscience, which cannot be
smoked into somnolency, and their use
fulness is impaired even beyond their own
consciousness. Wehave heard these men
preach, but never without a constant, un-
defined sense of their unfitness. Their
moral truths always fall short of the
mark. Their exhortations are invaria-
blv tainted with the fumes of tobacco.
When they speak of the powers of Sa.
TAM" we think of the powers of evil hab.
it. When they exhort sinners to repent
ance, we feel ike saying, physician
heal thyself." We like them both-they
are our personal friends-but we cannot
withhold from them kind of pity, such
as we feel for some excellent fellow who
is slave to strong drink. And, to say
/, the truth, so far as the mere habit is con
cerned, we cannot see the difference. s.
we are constrained TO say of our clerica

ANTrDoTE FOR ALL PoIsoNs.-A
plain farmer says: 1t is now over twen-
ty years since / learned that sweet oil
would cure the bite Of rattlesnake, not

cure poisons of any kind, both on man
and beast. I think no farmer should be
without bottle of it in his house. The
The patient must take tablespoonful of
it internally, and bathe the wound with
it for a cure. To cure horse it requires
eight times as much as for man. 1t
