Manners.

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be so is the question. Many
a good boy and girl feel that they can
not behave to suit themselves in the
presence of company. They feel tim.
id, bashful, and sef-distrustful, the
moment they are addressed by q
stranger, or appear in company.
There is but one way to get over this
feeling and acquire easy and graceful
manners; that is to do the best they
can all the time, at home as well as
abroad.
Good manners are not learned from
arbitrary teaching, so much as ac-
quired from habit. They grow upor
us by use. We must be courteous
and agreeable, civil, kind, gentleman
ly and womanly, at home, and ther
it will soon become a kind of SECOND
nature to be so everywhere.
A coarse, rough manner at home
begets a habit of roughness which WE
can not lay off, if we try, when among
strangers. The most agreeable per
sons we have ever known in company
are those that were perfectly agree
able at home.
Home is the school for all the bes
things, especially good manners.

Oh, whence comes it? Why is it2 Wherefore, and
what is it?
Shifting the lowly, nor sparing the high;
Worse than the Rinderpest, the sheep-rot is 1t.
Never to cease till the horses all die;
What shall we do for it? What is the best
Cider, warm blankets, or plenty of rest?
Low is the head that so proudly was rearing
And dropping the neck that was curved In his
pride,
Dimmed the fierce eye, and deadened the hearing,
Faint throbs tine once wildly pulsed purple tide.
Snake down his bedding spread the clean straw;
Mix him draught; he no longer can draw.
Nobly he toiled on the route to East Boston,
Or whirled the swift Car DER the Roxbury line;
Strike now the car bell its notes will be lost on
The ears that are chilled and give back no sign.
Disease has now marked him; his powers are
fled;
Care for him kin1ly-he yet is not dead.
Mix the bran mash! If yon ever would use him,
Stir it as never You stirred it beforei
We learn to esteem him in fearing to lose him
Bring the hot water, and steam him some more!
ThereI de is better now;-sponge off that
lip
Harness him up again. Get down the whip

The savages, too, perceiving his object,
used their knives upon it; but after two
days of constant, maddening labor, they
had scarcely removed a splinter from
the rock, and gave the effort up as hope
less.
Still Joseph Provencio survived
through all, as if it was intended that
his punishment should reach the Utmost
limit. Only once Don Roman left his
sight or ceased his exultation over his
sufferings, and that was when he visited
the settlement for supplies; and during
all those maddening days no force of
Apaches passed through the ravine or
came to their relief.
On the eighth day all within that ter
rible chamber were lifeless except
Joseph Provencio. He pleaded for a
single drop of water, a single crumb of
bread, that the avenging father left al
most within his reach he pleaded for
mercy and deliverance, and at last, on
the tenth day of his awful burial alive
he expired.
Peralta returned to the settlement
and induced party to accompany him
into the ravine to witness the truthful
ness of his narrative. He led them to
the awful tomb of the murderers, and
when they beheld the sight within it
they fed from the scene, feeling that
henceforth double terror would, in their
minds, surround the Cajon de Nacosari.

Love Lightens Labor.

A good wife rose from her bed one morn.
And thought with a nervous dread
Of the piles of clothes to be washed, and more
Than a dozen mouths to be fed.
There were the meals to get for the men in the
And the children to fix away
To school, and the milk to be skinned and
And ali to be done that day.
1t had rained in the night, and all the wood
Was as wet as wet could be:
There were puddings and pies to bake. beside
A loaf of cake for tea;
And the day was hot, and her aching head
Throbbed wearily as she said.
IF maidens but knew what good wives know
They would be in no haste to we'd
Jennie. what do you think told Ben B,own2
Gale the farmer from the we'll:
And flush crept up to his bronzed brow,
And his eye half bashfully fell:
1t was this, he said and coming near,
He smiled-and stooping down
And the dearest wife in townl
The farmer went to the field. and the wife.
In a smiling and absent way,
Sang snatches of tender little songs
And the pain in her head was gone, ana the
clothes
Were white as the foam of the sea;
Her bread was light, and butter was sweet,
And golden as it could be.
Just think, the children all call ed in breath,

He wouldn't, know. if he only had
AS happy home as we.
The night came down. and the good wife smiled
To herself as she softly said,
'Tis so sweet to labor for those we love.

another Placer for LAWYERS.

A singular old lady was the late Betsy
Williams, who recently died and left
her whole estate to the City of Provi-
dence, the value of said estate being
estimated at 100000. She was so
tidy that she CO npelled all her visitors
TO take off their shoes She thought
George Washington and Roger Williams
the last named being her ancestor
the greatest men that ever lived; and
none of her guests were permitted to
sit in the presence of any of her numer-
GUS portraits of the Rev. Roger, not one
of them being, presumably, in the least
authentic. Thereligious belief of Betsy
was extraordinary, even in this age of
miscellaneous faith. She maintained a
family altar, upon which, every morn
ing after breakfast, three inverted cups
were placed, which she called "The
Trinity of Holy Tea Leaves" and these
she consulted for an hour daily as
oracles. Not clearly of =" a sound and
dispcsing mind" most people would
say and SO say her heirs-at-law.

FEW OF OUR INSTITUTIONS are accom-
plishing SO much for the general well-being
of society as the system of Life Assurance.
Numberless families have been saved by its
instrumentality from poverty and depend
ence. 1t furnishes an incentive to and the
means for wise provision against the fu-
ture, and the changes which it may have in
store. This system is yearly growing in the
favor of the public, and all classes, whether
rich or poor, are more and more disposed to
avail themselves of the advantages which it
brings within their reach. This is demon
strated by the rapily increasing business of
some of our leading life insura nee companies
The annual statement of the New York Life
Insurance Company, of 346 and 348 Broad
way, New York, just published, makes an
exhibit, with which its policy-holders may
well be gratifed, and of which its officers
have good reason to be proud. The assets
of this Company have increased during the
last ten " ars from $2,500,000 t. nearly
$20, 900 900. The number of policies issued
by it during the last year is s,90s, insuring
| over $24, 900, 900. An annual dividend has
| been declared from its divisible surplus of
nearly 81 5000 Such statement as this
zeal with which the business management
| of this Company has been conducted. The
New York Life has age and experience, and
| is we'll known to be one of the soundest cor
porations in the country, and the efficiency
| of management which has secured it such
success in the past is a sufficient warrant for
| the expectation of continued prosperity in
the future.-Nebo York Tribune.

| dered how any one could want to live
there. The little girl wondered too, but
her father told her they would soon
come to pleasanter streets, and would
see many beautiful houses.
At length, in turning a corner, the
wagon .jolted SO hard that poor Pink
Clover, when she was tossed up, did not
ceme down on the grass again, but right
in the dirty street. No one saw her
fall. She lay there, and the wagon
passed out of sight. Not even to be
eaten by horse" she sighed. Unjust
wither, and be trampled on by careless
feet"
Several hours passed, and the little
bunch of clover lay fading in the street.
The hot sun beat down upon her; the
dust blew over her; but she had not
been stepped on.
A boy came along the street. His
clothes were clean, though patched and
old. He looked sadly down as he walk
ed. When he reached the corner
where Pink Clover lay he saw her
His face frightened; he stopped and
picked her up. {" Poor little BLOSSOM"
he said, and walked on, holding her
tightly in his hand.
He turned out of that street into
one still narrower and dirtier. He en-
tered a wretched house, passed up the
stairs, and went into a small room. 1t
was clean, but very scantily furnished.
A sick girl was lying in the bed asleep.
Her hands were SO thin that every blue
vein in them was visible. Her mother
was bending over her. When the boy
entered she raised her head.
''How is sister," he asked.
"She is easier now," answered the
mother, "but she has been suffering
very much. She longs for pure air. If
she could have that she would live.
The boy held up the bunch of clover
blossoms. "I found it in the street,"
he said "it seems like my poor sister
fading away in the close city. 1 will
revive it if I can"
He placed Pink Clover in a glass of
cool water, and set the glass ON the ta1
BILE. He sprinkied some drops of water
over her, and she felt herself beginning
to revive. She held up her head, and
her fragrant breath stole into the room.
Soon the sick girl opened her eyes,
and saw the little blossoms. She held
out her hands toward them, and her
mother gave them to her. She inhaled
their perfume, and glad light came
into her eyes.
"Ohl dear mother she cried, "I
said if I could only have breath from
the country should get well, and God
has sent it to me in these little flowers"
Then the little clover knew that,
through unthought of ways, she had
been brought to fulfill her mission;
that when she lay unheeded in the dust
she had been coming nearer and nearer
to the work of cheering a human
heart"

Kicking at the door;
Falling from the table top,
Sprawling on the 1oor;
Smashing cups and saucers,
Splitting Dolly's head;
Putting little pussy-cat
Into baby's bed.

Spelling fathers hat,
Hiding mothers preciaus Keys
Underneath the mat
Jumping on the fender,
Poking at the fire,
Dancing on his little legs
Legs that never tire
Making mothers heart leap

Aping everything we do,
Every word we say.

Roaring with a will,
Anywhere and everywhere,
Never. never still.
