POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.

Don't speak Of persons, with whom
you are slightly acquainted by their first
name.
Irritability is breach of good morals
as we'll as good manners. Gentle courtesy
we owe to all.
Be punctual. 1t is always annoying
to be kept waiting and often serious
detriment to ones business.
Answer civil question pleasantly and
kindly, even if you are in hurry.
Jokes are dangerous things, to be used,
like gunpowder, with extreme caution.
IF possible, always be at the station a
few minutes before the cars start. Get
ting aboard after the train is in motion
is not favorable to bodily safety, nor to
that calmness of mind which leads us to
act wisely.
Don't be disturbed if you find the best
seats taken. AS no one knew you were
coming, Of course, they did not reserve
one.
Have your ticket in your hand. Con-
ductors havn't always the time to wait
till the portm onnaie, pocket. and travel
ing bag are searched, before receiving it.
We once saw lady, when the conductor
demanded her ticket, dive to the lower
most depth of her travelling bag, where
she clutched something frantically, and,
in blind haste, handed the waiting officer
fine tooth comb, supposing it to be her
ticket, which she afterward found in the
folds of her garments.
When car is crowded, don't gil seat
with your bundles. True politeness is
not amiss, even amid the confusion AND
hustle of a public conveyance. IF an
open window proves uncomfortable to an
other, you will close il.
Don't fidget with your hands or feet
Let alone the watch chain and necktie.
Quiet ease, without stiffness, indicates
gentle breeding.
Whispering in church is impolite. Be
sides showing disrespect TO the speaker,
it is extremely annoying to those who
wish to hear. Coughing should be avoid
ed as much as possible. Sleeping, with
its frequent accompaniment, snoring, had
better be done at home

A MAN DIES OF HYDRoPHoBIA FORTY
YEARS AFTER HAVING BEEN BITTEN BY
A MAD DoG.-The Pulaski IN. Y. Dem
ocrat relates the particulars of the sin
pular death Of one Major King, of the
town of Boylston. from hydrophobia. 1t
appears that about forty years ago Mr..
King was severely bitten by mad dog,
which had no apparent effect upon him
until within the past four weeks, when
he first seemed to act strangely. For a
few days he appeared melancholy, and on
Monday, the 18th inst, after telling his
son he he was going to do something, F."
threw off his hat and coat, ran to pond
near by, and, jumping in, endeavored to
drown himself. His son followed him
and succeeded In getting him out. and in
duced him to return to the house. When
within short distance he tore himself
away, returned again and threw himself
into the pond. By this time some of the
neighbors who had witnessed the strange
proceedings arrived, and with their as
sistance he was secured and brought
home The paroxysm lasted about fse
hours, when he became rational and re
quested the bystanders not to allow him
to hurt anybody. He remained in this
condition for eighteen hours, when anoth-
er spasm succeeded, and after suffering
terribly until Friday night, death came
to his relief.

HOW soon FORGOTTEN.

So lately died SO soon forgotten. IT'S
the way of the world. Men take us by
the hand. and are anxious about the
health of our bodies, and laugh at our
jokes, and we think ike the fly on the
wheel, We have something to do with the
turning of the earth. Some day we die
and are buried. The sun does not stop
for our funeral. but goes on as usual we
are not missed on the street; one OF
two members still hold our names and
forms; but the crowd moves in the daily
circle, and in three days the great wave
of time sweeps over our steps and wash
es out the last vestige of our lives.

CHRISTIAN PURITY.

The nature of Christian purity is often
mistak Sanctity does not depend
upon externals, nor does it display itself
in the sorrowfulness of our looks, or in
the siDgularity of our dress. TO be holy
is not to be wrapt in unearthy contem-
plation, to retire into solitude ana leave
the active duties and trying anxieties of
life to others, as did the anchorites of
the desert. 1t is not to interlard our
common conversation with religious
phrases and passages of Scripture, and
to be constantly adyerting to the feelings
and actions Of the SOUL as did the Round
heads of Cromwell's time or the pietists
of more modern days. 1t is not to in
vest the family circle to which we belong
with the solemnites of funeral, and to
cast upon every one about US the dark,
forbidding frown of a rebuking censor
ship.
No, the essence of true holiness con
s1sts in conformity to tie nature and will
of God, in our being like our Father In
Heaven.
There is moral omnipotence in true
holiness, an energy of moral suasion in a
good mans life, that no sophistry can
elude and no conscience ward off. The
seen but silent beauty of holiness speaks
more eloquently of God and of duty than
the tones of men and angels. The most
thrilling and vigorous appeals from the
pulpit may be evaded, the alarming
providences of God forgotten, and the
most melting exhibitions of the love of
Jesus may apparently fail to convince
and move the soul, but the beauty of
holiness, beaming through the life of a
loved relative or friend, has a might
which nothing can withstand. It is the
gospel glowing In the hearts, beamipg
from the eyes, breathing from the lips,
and speaking in the eyes of believers,
that is the mighty through God to con-
vince the sinners and persuade him to
come to Christ.
If the Church of God were but clad in
this immortal panoply, the world would
soon be subjected to the sway of Him
whose right it is to reign.
