Church Etiquette.

As all persons are not as perfect
in church etiquette as they might be,
the following suggestions may NOT
be out of place -
Attending divine Worship is not
Ike attending a public show, but
though in this fast age there are
some whose conduct makes the diff
ference appear but small.
First, then, there is DO etiquette
for any place like the etiquette of
common sense; it aVails when the
rules of the Chesterfelds and the
Hickmaus often make one ridiculous.
In entering a church with q lady,
precede her when ascending aud de-
scending stairs, as also in seeking g
seat. In the latter case it is espe-
ciaIly polite-you act as a sort of
shield to her modesty, and then you
save her the confusion of selecting a
pew.
It is proper, if you ars a believer,
to kneel or stand at prayer, accord
ing to the custem of the church. To
disregard these is vulgar-at least,
it shows too much false pride, or too
little reverence for the requirements
of Christianity.
Excessive whispering during SER
vices is decidedly vulgar. 1t is
sometimes necessary to address an
undertope remark to your companion
! or companions, but seldom.
Listen to the servioe-espscially
the sermon. In this age of church
opera, called music. you cannot help
hearing that part of the ceremony
it would wake a Van Winkle. Blu
the sermon you may not sleep over
or disregard. It is wrong. Appear
to hear if you do not. A good way
is when the minister is dull and you
can't listen-which happens often
enough to make a ruls-to study
phrenology-exsmining the bumps
of heads before you. An hour may
thus be passed politely aud pleasant
ly.
If you chew tobacco. do not use i
in church. It is annoying to those
around you, and then the ssxtor
gives you jesse.
Never leave church during ser.
vice, unless it is absolutely necsssa.
ry-as in sickness. house on FIRE,
or q professional call.
1t is vulgar TO come late. Some
times it is unavcidable-a person
wisees to display new dress. watct
chain, or perhaps a beau. It viii
occur sometimes that q poor gOos'
wants to be driven from his seat
then it is proper enough also. These
causes, and the like, excuse late com
ing and the congregation endure
them. Any other delay is uneudur
able.
Dress as plainly as possible. w
do not mean that a lady should sp

to attract attention TO your style. or
that you want to marry. or that, like
poor wheat. there is not weight
enough about your head to keep it
still.
Don't look too pious in church Ell
ther-it is IS suspicious as too much
levisy. Religious worship is neither
joke nor an emetic. If you feel ex-
traordinarily devotional, begin to
think about putting something ig.
the treasury and it will shorten your
face quickly, and spread over it the

One Of the sweetest thoughts, and
one of the cherished ideas Of all the
nOblest men of the country is that the
hearts and minds Of our women are
entirely pure. No man, whose good
opinion is worth having, can love or
respect a woman who will permit an
impure or indecent thought to find
expression through her lips. no mat
ter how rosy and beautiful they may
be. Iteven shocks one coming from
the lowest class of women. Heaven
preserve the women of our sunny
land from all taint and contamination.
