PunctualIty.

THE words punctuality and punctuation
both come from the Latin word punctupa,
q point, and the value of both may be said
to consist in placing points exactly in their
proper locality, We AL know how nee
essary it Is, in order to understand the
printed or written page, that the comma,
semi-colon and period should mark the
proper divisions, and also the unfortunate
mistakes which the want of these little
points, or their careless displacement,
may produce. Much more essential Is II,
both for our well-being and that of others
that we learn correctly and exactly to
punctuate our time. The evils Of finish
ing an important letter too late for the
post, of arriving at the depot Just aSter
the train has started, Of failing 70 meet IN
urgent engagement, or to zee . valued
friend, or to obtain the physician ON whose
presence life may depend, are 20 obvious
that their frequency may we'll be matter
of establishment. The evils that are the
most manifest are not the only injuries
that result from unpunctnality. Money

all labor demands time, there
fore he who wastes the time Of others by
his Hardness is guilty OF positive dishon-
esty., he has detractsd By, % much ftom
anothar's power u labor, thus vdepriving
the community Of the good thst might
have been rendered, and the individual

Punctuality II then ainiofal duty, and its
violation may in no wise be regarded as q
light matter, only involving inconvenience
to few, but must be looked upon as =
breach Of honesty. 1880 |
A press of dudes il often pleaded - an
excuse for unpunctuality. But We usually
find that the punctual man il he who &C.
complishes the largest amount Of business
in the best manner, while 1t Is chiefly the,
idlers Of society who are addicted 70 this
fault. There 4 indeed, class Of busy
idlsrs, who, perhaps more than any others,
fAil in this virtue of punctuality. They,
look ct their work In the aggregate, and
are frightened Ct it, bulk but, having no
system, though they may. begin it with
fsryor, they suffer one part TO ovcrrun the
time of another, and room get into con.
fusion. Neryously busy, and exhausted
with Unnecessary friction, they yet &C
complish far less than others, who, BY eys.
tenn and regularity, pursue their av0ca.
tons with comparative ease. System iA
indeed, the soul of punctuality. A. the
arrangement of the authors thoughts,
ideas and words into their natural divi,
sions is the foundation and cause of his
punctuation, 90 the systematic arrange,
ment of time lies at the root and is the chief,
source of phnctuality. Life is long enough
for all the proper purposes Of life, if they
are only arranged with forethought.
Time is not the only thing In which
punctuality is requisite. In the matter of
payments that may not be legally enforc-
ed, though justly due, the lack of this vir.
tue is ever producing grievous injuries.
If the anguish of disappointment that is
frequently experienced by the poor when
their rightful dues are withheld or delay
ed by thoughtlessness or neglect, could be-
opened to the view, it would reveal 8 pic,
ture of injury and wrong that would sad
den every heart. And into every duty thif
element of punctuality enters. Every
known duty faithfully and punctually per-
formed, is . means of elevation to the INF
dividual and of benefit to the community
while one who suffers himself to procras
innate duty and put off what is hard or UNI
pleasant, will gradually lose both hi
selfrespect and the esteem of Others,

A Story with . MOral.

ONCE upon time there was . king who
had three sons. They were all three ex-
actly alike, and they all three loved the
same princess.
When the elder brothers heard OF the
younger brothers love, they. seized upon
eycry opportunity of ridic...ng him, ana
putting him down, just as the naughty
sister did Cinderella. !,
The Princess Anna was young ana
simple. hearted, and fell in love with all
three Of the brothers. ~ 80
When the three princes went to ask for
the hand Of the fair Anna, the worthy OLD

A Story the Great Snowman DOesn

P. T. BARNUM tells, in his autobioe3'
raphy, a great many stories Illustrative
of his own sharpness, but omits as many
more in which the laugh happens to be at
his own expense. One of these omitted
incidents occurred in the spring OF 1865,
when Barnum was a member of the
Connecticut House of Representatives 1t
was the second week Of the session, and
David Clark, of Hartford, being in town
the Legislature met in New Haven that
year-gave very elegant dinner at the
Savin Rock House, In honOrof Gov. Haw-
ley, who had just been inaugurated.
Twenty or thirty gentlemen were invited,
among them p. T. Barnum, and Ike
Bromley, now of the Hartford Post, then
editor of the Norwich Bulletin, and Repre-
sentative from Norwich. Barnum, as
usual, was very conspicuous, doing most
Of the talking, and making himself a.
conspicuous as possible. Brom., who had
never met the Snowman before except
once, casually, at the beginning of the
session, was a good deal disguised with
him. y.
BY and by, after the dinner had been
disposed ~of Mr.. Clark proposed the
health of Gov. Hawley, and the Governor
responded in little speech. One or two
other distinguished gentlemen were toast
ed and responded, and then Barnum's
health was proposed. The great show
man rose with the manner of man who
was to say the funniest things of the
evening, and was confident he could fill
the bill, and with an air Of mock embar-
rassment began:
"Mr. Chairman-You know am not
in the habit of making speeches." Here
he commenced examining his pockets, as
if looking for his manuscripts; not find
ing any, he turned to the gentleman near
him and inquired: s ,,7
"Who's got my notes?"
The question had not left his lips before
Brom., sitting away at the other end OF
the table, without lifting his eyes from the
nuts on his plate, shouted in answer
Chauncey Jerome!"
The entire crowd happened to know
that story of the Barnum-J erome failure
how each accused the other of dishonesty,
and how Barnum had come out Of It rich,
while Jerome, an old broken down man,
WAS left without dollar in the world.
The effect was electrical. The crowd
stamped and yelled until the dishes danced
and Barnum for the first time in his life
was really embarrassed. He had not any
thing TO say. After . while, when the
uproar had sufficiently subsidized to give
him chance, he managed to say, he
lowed the gentleman from Norwich one, "
and with few words sat down. But he
was extinguished for the evening, and
gave up for once the position Of head
centre.-N0rscich, Conn, BULLETIN.
