Ease in Society.

I'd rather thrash wheat all day
in the barn." said Reuben Riley to
his sister, as lie adjusted an uncom-
Portable collar about his sun. burnt
neck, ethan go to this pcsky party.
| never know what to do with my
self, stuck up there in the paror all
the evening. If the fellows would
pull their coats off, and go out and
chop wood on a match there'd be
some sense in it" t.. t.
"Well, l hate it as bad as you
do, Rube," said sister Lucy. The
fact is, we never go nowhere, nor
see anybody, and no wonder we feel
so awkward when we do happen to
stir out" ..-
The remarks of this brother and
sister were but echoes of the senti-
ment Of many other farmers boys
and girls when invited out to spend
a social evening. But poor Lucy
had not hit the true cause of the
difficulty. 1t was not because they
so seldom went any place, but be
cause there was a wide difference
between their home and company
manners. The true way to feel at
ease in any garb is to wear it often.
If the pleasing garb of good man
ners is only put on upon rare occa-
sons it will never fit well, and nev-
pr seem comfortable.
Learn to behave properly at home,
to cultivate yourselves. Do not
sit, or stand, or lounge about in an
gainly attitudes, but acquire man
ly, erect, graceful bearing. / have
never seen such vigorous, hearty
manhood in any class as among
cultivated farmers sons. Let ta-
BILE manners be especially looked |.
efter, If you are so unfortunate as
to have a mother careless in this
regard, you must do the best you
can to remedy the early defect in
your home training, Note care
fully how well-bred people behave,
and do your best to initiate them.
1t is noble to be an imitator of that
which is good and beautiful. Above
all, if you wish to be at home in
society, fill your brains with ideas.
Set your mind to work. Wake it
out of the sluggishness it would
naturally sink into, if you were on
y plodder and nothing more,
oy good, stirring thought you
90 into society with something in
four mind worth talking about, you
will not fail to find listeners who
will treat you with respect, and
where you are well received you
will not fail very soon to find your
self at ease.- Country gentleman.

! LIFE Take it like a man. Take
it just as though it was, as it is, an
earnest, vital, essential affair, Take
it just as though you, personally,
were born to the task of perform
ing a merry part in it-as though
the world had waited for your com
ing. Take it as though it was a
grand opportunity to do and
achieve, to carry forward great and
good schemes, to help and cheer a
suffering, weary, it may be, heart
broken brother. The fact is, life
is undervalued by a majority of
mankind, 1t is not made half as
much of as should be the case
Where is the man or woman who
accomplishes one tithe of what
should be doneY Who can not
look back upon the opportunities
lost, plans unachieved, thoughts
crushed, aspirations unfulfilled, and
all caused from the lack OF the nee
essary and possible effort? If we
knew better how to take and make
the most of life, it would be far
greater than it is. Now and then
a man sands aside from the crowd,
labors earnestly, steadily and con-
fdently, and straightway becomes
famoue for intellect, skill, greatness
of some sort. The world wonders,
admires, idolizes; and yet this only
illustrates what each may do If he
takes of life with a purpose.

Preclsicns in Business.

Haney's Journal relates the fol-
lowing:
On a certain Saturday night the
clerks Of the Bank of England
could not make the balance come
out right by just one hundred
pounds. This is a serious matter
in that establishment-notthe cash,
but the discrepancy, however sligh.
An error in the balancing has been
known to keep a delegation Of
clerks from each department at
work sometimes through the whole
night A hue and cry therefore
was made after this one hundred
pounds. as if the old lady in
Thread-needle- street would be in
the Gazette as an insolvent for the
want of it. Luckily on the Sunday
morning following, the clerk-in

Diving for a Fortune.

j A certain beautiful Lady of TIN
Lake"-of the Bois de Boulogne-
had won the affections of young
/ English nobleman, whose purse
was as large as his heart and as
, open as his mouth. Perfect bliss
was one consequence; Others took
the form of diamonds, Cashmere
shawls and opera boxes. But late
ly "mylor" was compelled to return
to England. Unable to live out of
the beams of Armida's eyes. he
wrote her to come over to him, and,
nothing 10th, the docile fair com
piled Her excellent mother ac-
companied this innocent little lamb
kin on her travels, and under her
arm carefully bore a small casket.
1t contained one hundred thousand
francs in bank bills-her daugter's
fortune-and it was necessarily very
precious to her heart. And so the
good mother and the good daugh-
ter, and the 100000 francs, went
from Paris to Boulogne, and from
Boulogne to Folkestone. But 10 4
when they had all three reached
peyfde Albion in safety, and the
English lover undertook to escort
the ladies from the boat to the pier,
the awkardness of the young inSp-
laire caused the best of mothers to
make a stumble, and into the water
went the best of boxes Tab,eau

Don't make fuss about it.! It's

for the money in the morning.
Here was a lover, indeed perfect
Prince Prettiman. The best, etc.,
proceeded to dry her eyes; her
precious and innocent one was
again wreathed in smiles, and the
party sat down to cozy little lunch
at the chief inn of the town. But

was the response of the soiled dove
of the parent bird. But he would .

particularly young lovers, are so

forthcoming, he forced open the
lid and found--a syringe! Not 4

the ladies returned to Boulogne by
the next boat. The brute absolute

MEAN MEN.-Henry Ward Beech
er says ofmean men: 81 have great
hope of a wicked man slender hope
of a mean one. A wicked man
may be converted and become a
prominent saint. A mean man
ought to be converted six or seven
times, one night after the other, to
give him a fair start, and put him
on an equality with the bold wick
ed man. I have known men who
thought the object Of conversion
was to cleanse them as a garment
is cleansed. and that when they are
converted they were to be hung up
in the Lords wardrobe, the door Of
which was to he shut, so that no
dust could get to, them. A coat
that is not used the moths eat; and
a Christian that is hung up so that
he shall not be tempted, the moths
eat him; and they have poor food
at last.

The Language Of nature and experience

pleasure Of food, the beauties of Landscape,
the joys Of companionship, the riches Of
literature, or the honors Of station and re.

effect of foul, injurious fosd, entering the
stomach, is to derange the digestive organs
and produce headache, loss Of appetite,
unrefreshing sleep, low spirits, feverish
burnings, etc, which are symptoms of'that
hOrrid disease, Dyspepsia, which assumes .
thousand shapes, and points toward . mis-

ncr's majority over Grafton is about
1000, and over johnson over 5000.
The result Of this election is truly
gratifying. The gentlemen (im-
mortal forty-sevcn) who called out
Capt. Conner understood him in tho
beginning. The masses of tho peo-
pie, as his real character and ability
are developed, appreciate him; and
lot the future DO what it may, Con-
ner by his bold stand in defence of
our people, his unqncstioncd ability.
and o~ratorical powers, has justly
won a place in the hearts Of our
people that time cannot effaco, and
VIC, now predict that if he is given
his scat in Congress, (of which We
cannot doubt), that he will DO the
bright gifted member from Texas,
whose voice will be heard in tones
of thunder for Texas. He has the
brains and the courage to do it.
Amid the disasters attending the
election Of other State officers, VIC
turn to Conner rs one that can DO
trusted in our gravest concerns.
