Judging by Appearances.

Some years ago there arrived ut the
Cataract House, Niagara Falls. an odd
looking man, whose appearance aud
department we're quite in contrast with
the crowds of well-dressed and polish
ed figures which adorned that celebrat-
ed resort. He seemed to have Just
sprung from the woods; his dress,
which was made of leather, stood
dreadfully in need of repair, apparent
ly not having felt the touch of needle
for many long month. A worn.out
blanket, that might have served for
bed, was buckled to his shoulders; a
large knife hung on one side, balanced
by long rusty tin box on the other,
and his beard uncropped, tangled and
coarse, fell down upon his bosom as if
to counterpoise the weight of the thick
dark locks that supported themselves
on his back and shoulders. This be-
ing, strange to the spectators, seeming
ly half civilized, half savage, pushed
his steps into the sitting-room, unstrap-
ped his little burden, quietly looked
around for the landlord and modcstly
asked for breakfast. The host at first
drew back with evident repugnance to
receive this uncouth form among gen.
teel visitors, but few words whisper
ed in his ear satisfied him, and the
stranger took his place in the compa-
ny, some struggling their shoulders,
some staring, some laughing outright.
Yet there was more in that one man
than in the whole company. He had
been entertained with distinction at
the tables of princes; learned societies,
to which the like of Cuvier belonged,
had bowed down to welcome his pres
ence; kings had been complimented
when he spoke to them. In short, he
was one whose fame will be growing
brighter when the fashionables who
laughed at him, and much greater than
they, shall have been forgotten. From
every hilltop aud deep, shadowy grove,
the birds, those blossoms of the air,
will sing his name. The little wren
will pipe it with her matin hymn; the
oriole carol it from the slender grasses
of the medow; the turtle dove roll it
through the secret forests the many
voiced mocking bird pour it along the
air, and the imperial eagle, the bird
of Washington, as he sits far upon the
blue mountains, will scream it to the
tempest and to the stars. He was

A Young Wife's Experience.


was hurrying around the house
this morning, doing up my extra Sat
urdav work as quickly as possible, that
l might sit down with Henry, who was
kept home by the violent storm when
suddenly | heard Henry call me from
the sitting room. found him looking
as had never seen him before, and
Aunt Minerva rather abashed. Henry
drew me down on the lounge by his
side, and, putting his arm around me,
said, "Now, Aunt Minerva, please re-
peat what you have just said to me-"
She tried to speak, but the words re-
fused to come. She was such picture
of confusion that / really felt sorry for
her. At length, finding that she could
not or would not speak, Henry turned
to me, and said, "Annie, Aunt Minerva
has been telling me that you are SO
extravagant in your cooking, and in
some other ways, that you will soon
exhaust my means. And this is not
the first time she has complained of
you in this underhanded way. have
never replied, thinking that she would
perceive from my manner that would
not attend to such talk; but the last
time it occurred, / resolved that the
next time l would call you in direct
ly." And then, turning to Aunt Mi
nerva, he went on: "Whatever fault
you have to find with Annie heresAer,
must be done in her presence. She and
l are both young, and make no pro-
fessions of perfection. We are faulty,
and are striving together against our
defects. But l have confidence in An
nie's judgment, and do not think she
will 60 far astray in housekeeping mat
ters. She may feel that l have the
most entire confidence in her III every
respect, and that l will never allow any
one to even attempt to prejudice me
against her." At this stage of our
first domestic storm, Aunt Minerva
summoned courage to say: "Well, /
must say you are making great fuss
about little matter of advice" Hen
ry replied, at is not little matter of
advice the saddest case l ever knew
of estrangement between husband and
wife was brought about by Just such
interference as yours. l knew of it
when quite boy, and the circum-
stances made very deep impression
on my mind. The husband aud wife
were good people, and truly attached
to each other; but the husband had a
sister, of whom he was very fond, and
at length gave heed to her jealous whis.
perings in regard to his wife. For
many years they were unhappy. A
time of reconciliation and better un.
derstanding came, and the wife had
some years of comparative rest and
happiness before her death, dimmed to
a great extent, however, by the recol-
lection of the undeserved misery which
she had endured for so many years.
Annie cannot, ,ofcourse, expect to spend
life free from trials, but, God helping
me, she shall never suffer from want Of
confidence and love in me"
This scene has drawn Henry and
myself very near to each other; and it
has made me very sorry for poor, dis
contented, short-sighted untMiverva

The Humbug of Early Rising.

All this talk about early rising is
moonshine. The habit of turning out
OF bed in the middle Of the night suits
some people; let them enjoy it. But
it is only folly to lay down a general
rule upon the subject. Some men are
fit for nothing all day after they have
risen early every morning. Their en-
ergies are deadened, their imaginations
are heavy, their spirits are depressed.
1t is said you can work SO we'll in the
morning. Some people can, but others
can work best at night; others again,
in the afternoon. Long trial and ex-
pertinent form the only conclusive
tests upon these points. AS for getting
up early because Professor Cannon
has written letters to the papers prov
ing the necessity of it, let no one be
goose enough to do it. We all know
the model man, aged eighty: 81 in
variably rise at 5; / work three hours,
take a light breakfast-namely, a
cracker and pinch of salt--work five
hours more; never smoke, never drink
anything but barley-water, eat no din
ner, and 60 to bed at 6 in the evening"
If anybody finds that donkeyfied sort
of life suit him, by all means let him
continue it. But few people would
care to live to eighty on those terms. If
a man can not get all withered and
crumpled up on easier conditions than
those, it is almost as we'll that he
should depart before he is a nuisance
to himself and bore TO everybody
else. School boys and young people
generally, ought to get up early, for it
is found that nine-tenths of them can
stand it, and it docs them good. But
let no man torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice
as good a man as he is if he had risen
every morning at daylight. The hab-
it would kill half of us in less than
five years.-N. Y. Times.

the boots off the shelves, from which
he was soon fitted. "How much 2"
Give dollars" "Give me change for
this fifty dollar bill-sharp-quick."
The bootmaker, not having change.
rushed to a money-changer. "Quick,
give me change for this fifty dollar
bill-passenger just off to California;"
And in q few minutes away ran the
Yankee with his boots and his change
off to California, of course. In
about an hour afterwards the money
changer came down to the bootmaker.
Halloa see," quoth he, "this is bad
bill; pay me down fifty dollars at
once"-which the poor fellow, much
disgusted, had to do. Now, how much

CiviIty.


The fact that 'civiIty costs nothing
is probably the secret Of its unfashiona.
bleness. A thing that every one can
have, few think worth having.
Men of industry, of integrity, of
respectable intellectual gifts, are met
at every turn; but your purely civil
man is rdra ovis. We are not speak.
ing of people in their social relations,
but in their intercourse with the out
side world. Many men, who are every
thing that is genial and courteous in
the home circle, become cold, brusque
or irritable the moment they enter
their countIng-rooms, offices, places Of
business, or labor, or whatever else it
may be. The playful, indulgent pater
fdmiIias of half an hour before, sudden.
ly changes into surly ogre, who snaps
up his little palefacad clerk as is he
would make a supplementary break
fast of him. Under such 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 un-
gracious examples. Much dealing
with complicated accounts seem to
sour the disposition. Fractions beget
fractiousness. If you desire a fine
healthy specimen of irrita5ility, take
an ancient book-keeper at the time be
is making out his balance sheet, and
ask him the slightest question not con-
nected with his calculations. But for
all people engaged in strictly sed.
entary occupations one should make
a generous allowance.
Men who hold positions which bring
them into contact with the public, and
place the public to certain extent at
their mercy, have no right to be any
thing but civil. The ticket.master at
the railroad station has no right to
snub you because you do not happen
to know on which track your train is.
The conductor has no right to regard
you with look of disdain mingled
with commiscration when you ask him
the name of the next station. You
were not born on the road, and if
your interrogation convinces him that
you are a natural idiot, he ought to
respect your misfortune, and not be-
try it to the other passengers. The
hackman who gloomily awaits you at
the terminus Of the journey has no
right to hustle you as if you were a
part of your baggage. The hotel clerk
the natural humility of whose disposi-
tion lies buried under that monumen-
tai diamond pin, has no right to treat
you as an inferior. Yet who that has
travelled has not met all these forms of
incivilty? This, to be sure, is only
one side of the story. The traveller is
almost as likely to be exasperating as
the employee of the road or the clerk
of the hotel. But then the traveller
is not paid for being civil, and the 9TH
er gentlemen are.
1t costs SO little and is worth so
much A young clerk with civility
already has stock of goods of his
own. Regarded as mere policy, it is
the next best thing to honesty; and,
like honesty, it is good for its own
sweet SELF An uncivil man is neces-
sarily discontinued mana discom-
fort to himself We beg leave to add
a new sentiment to the copy-book of
the period: Be civil, and you will be
happy.
