Unless she can have her own way.
she often gets angry without any cause,
Her play mates all think her unkind,
She waits al On 0st always until she's told twice.
Before she is ready to mind,
She thinks she's abused when allotted tack,
And grumbies about her hard fate
There's a frown on her brow, and pout on her
And Inc name Of this fairy is Hate.
And now for the other, 60 gentle and good,
she is ready TO come at CAL,
Her sweet title face is all dimpled with smiles,
And she 10 the darling OF all.

mamnla,
That she a pet pleasure must miss, rt7.l..
Wipe bravely the tears from ner nttle Drown eyes
And put up her lips for kiss.
She goes about singing from morning till night,
as ge entle and sweet as dove, .
She's the light OF the household wherever ehet

And the name Of this fairy is Love. 1..
And now for question; I've told you thcil
And each in their true colors dressed.

GYillty.

THE fact that "ciVility costs nothing" is
probably the secret of its unfashiOnable-
ness. A thing that every one can have,
few think worth having.
Men of industry. of integrity, of res
pectable intellectual gifts, are met at
every turn; but your purely civil man is
q rdrG dUlS. We are not speaking of peo-
pie in their social relations, but in their
intercourse with the outside world. Many
men who are everything that is genial and
courteous in the home circle, become cold,
brusque, or irritable the moment they
enter their counting rooms, offices, or
place of business, whatever it may be.
TIE playful, indulgent pdter: fdzRiLids of
half an hour before suddenly chang into
a surly ogre, who snaps up his little pale
faced clerk as if he would make supple
mentary breakfast of him. Under such a
master it is no wonder that the clerk in
turn finds it impossible to be civil to any
stranger whom the chance of business
may throw in his way.
AS general thing, clerks in mercan-
tile houses do not stand in need of ungra.
cious examples Much dealing with com.
plicated accounts seems to sour the dispo-
sition. Fractions beget righteousness Il
you desire fine healthy specimen ofirri
liability, take an ancient bookkeeper al
the time he is making out his balance
sheet, and ask him the slightest question
not connected with his calculations. But
for all people engaged in strictly sedenta
ary occupations one should make generous
allowance.
Men who hold positions which bring
! them into contact with the public, and
| place the public to a certain extent a.
their mercy, have no right to be anything
bat civil. The ticket master at the rail
road station has no right to snub you be
cause you do not happen to know OF
| which track your train is The conductSl
has no right to regard you with look o
disdsin mingled with commiserstion whei
| you ask him the name of the next station
You were not born on the road, and
your interrogation convinces him that yoV
are natural idiot, he ought to respec
your misfortune and not betray it to tn
7 other passengers. The hsckman VIII
| gloomily awaits you at the terminus o
! the journey has no right TO hustle you a
il you were o part of your own baggage
! The hotel-clerk, the natural humility q
whose disposition lies buried under ths
monumental diamond pin, has no right (
treat you as an inferior. Yet who tina
| has travelled has not met all these forms c
incivilityS Fhis, to be sure, is only on
side of the story. The traveller is almos
as likely TO be exaspefating as the en-
ployee of the road, or the clerk Of tn
hotel But then the traveller is not pal
for being civil, and the other gentleme
are.
1t costs so little and is worth so much

The Acceptance OF Draf1s.W7

tli The Acceptance Of Drafts.8 d
From tss N. Y: Joaaa!qr Commerce ~
80 We have received the following from
one Of our subscribers: VA, Is T,y4l .
70 ate. Editor Of he Journal Of Commerce;
DEAR SIR; Asyou arc so well acquaint'
cd with all the usages Of commercial aff
fairs, beg TO ask your opinion, or rather
decision, upon the following point, viz;
A draft Is made upon nc from abroad at
three days after. sight 1t is presented lor
acceptance, and the party presenting II
demands to have it accepted then and
there returned to him, or he will take II
back and have It protested. BE isinf0r1n-
ed that he must leave It one day, 'dB Gus.
ltomary, and on the next day he will either
get the draft back accepted or a check for
the amount, BE demurs to this. Who
Is right-he or IT, Your reply will oblige
,!iEi Z 81 Yours truly, iudiI&i@ 7H.
pcThe answer isvery plainS both from le.
gal decisions and direct statutory rcgrla-
tions. Story on Bills, section 237, says
!aWhen abill Is presented for acceptance
the draweeliiS entitled, If hc desire It, to
haye at least twenty1four hours to consid.
er whether he will accept. the BILL or not
and It Is usual in such cases for the holder
To- leave the bill with him for that time.n
Bailey, another hishp authority, says !;
".Uppn q presentmentl for acceptance the
bill should bei left with the, drawce
twenty; hours unless in the int.
rim he either accept, or declare a rcso,
LUTON not to accept" In England, where
the drawee is In doubtful credit, or but
little known, 1t. Is customary 70 leave q
copy Of tie bill, in place OF the original,
but Glis iSalways considered q reflection
On his standing. In, this State the rule,
sanctioned by law, Is to leave tho bill for
one day unless the. drawec chooses to dc.
eide at once. II Is provided hero by
statute that Every person upon whom q
Bill, Of exchange Is drawn, and 10 whom
the same Is delivered for acceptance, who
shall destroy such bill, or refuse within
tWenty.tour hours atler. such delivery, or
within such other period as Tho holder
may allow, 10 return the bill, accepted or
nnaccepted, TO the holder, shall 10 deemed
% have accepted tho same.Y THIS sup.
poses that the drawee has alegnl right TO
such a use aud detention Of the bill.
