SPECIAL HoNoB.-Eycry person
should cultivate nice sense of hon
or. In Il hundred different ways
this most fitting adjunct to the true
lady or gentleman is often tried.
For instance, one is the guest Of a
family, where, perhaps, the dOmes-
tic machinery does not run smooth
". There is sorrow in the house,
unsupported by the outer world.
Sometimes 1t is q dissipatcd son
whose conduct is q shame and grief
TO his parents; sometimes a relative,
whose eXcentricities and peculiari-
ties are a cloud on the home. Or,
worst Of all, husband and willie may
not be IN accord, and there may be
often bitter words spoken and harsh
rccriminatiOns. In any of these ca
ses, the guest is in honor bound to
be blind and deaf, as far as people
without are concerned. II gentle
word within can do any good, it
may well be said but 10 90 forth
and reveal the shadow of an unhap-
py secret TO any one, even your
nearest friend, is an act Of indelicacy
and meaness almost unpGTalicllcd.-
Once in the sacred precincts of amy
house, admitted into its privacy,
sharing its life, all that you can see
and hear is sacred trust. 1t Is real
ly as contemplate TO gossip of such
things AS il would be 10 steal the
silver or borrow the books and for
get to return them.

\ Good RepHtation 40 Have.

\ young man had volunteered,
and was expecting daily to be or
dered to the seat of war. One day
his mother gave him an unpaid bill
with money, and asked him TO pay
it. When he returned home at night
she said: ''Did you pay that bill:'
"Yes," he answered.
In a few days the bill was sent in
a second time.
Il thought" che said to Acr son,
chat you paid this"
Il really don't remember, mother;
you know rve had so very many
things on my mind"
"But you said you did"
"Well," he answered, 'if l said l
did, | did"
He went away, and his mother
took the bill herself 10 the store.
The young man had been known in
the town all his life, and what opin-
ion was held of him this will show.
81 am quite sure, she said, "that
my son paid this some days ago; he
has been very busy since, and has
quite forgotten about it; but he told
me that day he had, and says if he
said then that he had, he is quite
sure he did"
"Well," said the man, 81 forgot
about it: but If ne over said he did,
he did

A Little story on GraHt.

The Roanoke (Va.) Times pub
lished the following:
A good story is told ey one of tn
Methodist ministers now in this
place attending conference. We dc
not recollect ever seeing it in print
and we think il too good to be lost.
1t is as follows:
During the war 4 'COnfed.' was
captured by the Yankees and hap
pened to be taken 10 Gen. Grants
headquarters. After being ques-
toned by the General the old Con
fed asked him where lac was going.
Il am going,' says Grant, TO Rich
mond, to Petersburg, TO Heaven,
and, it may be, will go 10 HE'LL
After eyeing the General for sew
cral moments, the old 'Coufecit' said:
Gen. Grant, you can't 90 TO Rich
mond, for Cen Lee is there; you
can't 20 TO Petersburg, for General
Beauregard is there; you can't 90 to
Heaven, for Stonewall Jackson is
there; but as to going 10 Hell, you
may get there, for | know OF no
Confederate in that regiOn.'

The art OF conversing well stands
next to genius. Society rarely dis
eliminates between the brilliancy
which shines with a borrowed lus-
ter and the sunlight Of genuine or
iginality. We are all apt to be cap
tivated with tribes. We don't 90
down deep into the hidden nature
of things. But so the word goes;
and it is but a piece of folly for us
TO rail at the world for il. Instead
of growing vexed because most
people are prone 10 see the crystal
rather than the diamond, an earnest
effort should be made TO be truly good
and worthy ofappreciation. And this
is not a hardship. Montague tells
US that "the most fruitful and natu-
raj exercise of the mind is couver-
sation.-I find the use of it more
sweet than any other action OF life"
1t is as susceptible Of growth and
cultivation as any other gift. It's
growth, too, bears an exact ratio 10
the degree Of care bestowed upon il.

DEATH.-Death is but kind OF
welcome servant who unlocks with
noiseless hands life's flower encir-
cled door to show 90 us those we
love. Mourn not the living dead /;
they who have passed from this life
to one Of higher activity. They who
walk with us day aud night, calling
us away from sordid cares 10 things
that perish not; they are not ''dead'
but they are dead whose aimless
souls reflect no glory on their path.
Our father waits to greet us beyond
The sea of death. When the waves
break ON the shore of the life eternal
be will come TO bear us in safety to
our homes.
