TIE base pieces for the monument Of the late
Z. Y. Bright, Eaq., are completed aud may be
seen At the marble yard OF ". VI. Daugherty, on
Market Square. The monument when finished
viii be, perhaps, the most beautiful In design, Of
any in this section Of country. Its cost will be
$1,000. There is probably no marble yard out
side the c;y,wherc better work Ia turned out, than
that of Mr.. Daushcuy. Better workers In mar
BILE cannot be found anywhere than Mr. paugh-
erty, and our old friend, John A. Taylor, whose
good taste In eating and designing, it appear,
does not diminish any in his advanced years.

Do not try too hard to be polite.
Never overwhelm your friends by
begging them to make themselves at
home or they will soon wish they were
there. Show by your actions rather
than your words that you are glad to
see them.
Have enough regard for yourself to
treat your greatest enemy with quiet
politeness. All petty Sights are mere
ly meanness and hurt yourself more
than any one else.
Do not talk about yourself or your
family to the exclusion of other topics.
What if you are clever and little more
SO than other people, it may not be that
other folks will think so, whatever they
ought to do.
1t may be interesting TO you to talk
over your ailmeut, but very tiresome
to others to listen to.
Make people think you consider them
clever and agreeable and they will be
pretty apt to have a pleasant impress
ion of yourself.
Treat people just as you would like
to have them treat you.
1t is much easier to lose the good
opinion of people than to regain it
when any one does not care for the good
opinion of others he or she is not worthy
of respect.
Do not excuse your house, furniture,
or the table you set before your guests
1t is fair to suppose their visits are not
to your surroundings.
The whole machinery of social inter-
course is very delicate and intricate and
1t is our business to keep all places Of
possible friction well supplied with the
Oil of politeness.

Colerldge was such slave to liquor
that he had to be kept an unwilling
prisoner by Christopher North on an
occasion when some literary perform
ances had to be completed by certain
time and on that very day, without
taking leave of any member of the FAM
lily, he ran at full speed down the av-
enue to Eleray, and was soon hidden,
not In the groves of the valley, but in
some obscure den, where, drinking
among low companions, his magniii-
cent mind was soon brought to level
of the vile.
DeQuincy was such slave to the use
of opium that his daily allowance was
Of more Importance than eating. An
ounce of laudanum day prostrated an
imal life during the afternoon. 1t was
no unfrequent sight 10 find him asleep
on a rug before the fire in his room, his
head on book, and his arms crossed on
his breast. When his torpor from the
opium had passed away, he was ready
for company until about daylight. In
order to show him of, his friends had
to arrange their supper parties so that
sitting until three or four in the after
noon, he might be brought to that point
at which. in charm and power of con-
versation, he was so truly wonderful.
Burns was no less drunkard than
Coleridge. 1t was the weakness ofs
Charles Lamb. And who can remem-
ber the last days of Poe without ire
pressible regret? He was on his way
to Baltimore, and was found by gen
tleman who knew him, in state of
beastly intoxication, unconscious as
log, and died that night in the rawlings
of delirium tremens!
Douglas Jerrold was devotee of gin;
so also way Byron. Steele, the brilliant
author of the Christian Hero, was a
beastly drunkard. Men wrote of him,
that he would dress himself, kiss his
wife and children, tell them about his
pressing engagements, heel it over to
grocery under the " store" and have a
revel with his bottle companions.
