PoLrTENEss.-A polite behaviour can never be
long maintained without real wish TO please; I;
and such wish is part of good nature. No
ill-natured man can be long well-bred No gooi
natured man, however unposhed in his man
ners, can ever be essentially ill-bred From an
absurd prejudice in regard to good nature. some
people affect to substitute good temper for it;
hut no qualities can be more distinct Many
good-tempered people as well as many fools, are
very ill-natured; and many men of first rate ge-
MUS with which perhaps entire good temper is
incompatible. are perfectly good natured.

WHO ARE lNrEILTGENT.-Edueatio in colleges
or Academies does not necessarily make one
more intelligent than another, as many of our
most intelligent men never entered either as
pupils.
Many of the ablest men in the pulpit the
forum or the press had very few advantages
when young; many men graduate from institu-
tions of learning, and fail miserably when pitted
against the self educated man in any of the
upper walks of life.
Int t'lllgence arises from early training and the
boy "ho secs his father read newspaper is very
apt to desire to do the same. 1t was just such
stimulus that Henry Clay and Horace Greeley
had; when young, and this fred them to acquire
knowledge and knowledge is power"

kind ever given to the public. 1t aims at Civ
ing an accurate list of newspapers in the United
States and British colonies, their politics, relig

although in the latter particular they can only
state the claims of publishers, leaving others 10

tween three and four hundred pages.

MISSIONARY SEMI-CENTENNIAL AT
 GOSHEN, CONN.

On September 18th, 1919, Messrs. Hi ram Bingham and Asa Thurston were or- dained as the first Missionaries to the Sandwich Islands by the North Consocia- tion of Litchfeld County, at Goshen, Con- necticut. This place was selected, be- cause, chiefly, of the deep interest in for eign missions awakened there early in the present century by the ministry of Rev. Joseph Harvey, D. D., and the residence there for some time of Henry Obookiah. At the ordination, great concourse of people assembled, among whom were the officers of the American Board, and many other distinguished clergymen and civil ians. President Heman Humphrey preach ed the sermon, .: TS A few months ago, the people of Goshen wisely determined to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the ordination by appro- priate services; and circulars were issued, calling home the absent sons and daugh- ters of that goodly town, and inviting all the friends. of Missions to participate in the exercises. +&r
 The morning of the. ,2Sth of September, 1919, was as lovely as possible, and fifty years later foundthe sama sun shining in his glory upon that hill-country of Con- necticut. On.this latter occasion, the peo- pie came together in great numbers, and the day was one long to be remembered. Rev.
