ENGAGING MANNERS. There are a
thousand engaging ways which every
person may put oD, without running the
risk of being deemed either affected or
toppish. The sweet smile, the quiet, cor
dial bow, the earnest movement in ad-
dressing friend, or more especially a
stranger who may be recommended to US,
the graceful attention which is so capti-
waiting when united with self-possession-
these viii insure us the good regards of
all. There is u certain softness of manner
which should be cultivated, and which,
in either man or woman, adds charm
that is even more irresistible than beauty.
AN artist writes to the London Dirt Jour-
nal calling attention to the extraordi-
nary beauty of certain Irish scenery but
little known to tourists" He says: "The
combination of mountains, valleys, rivers
and lakes, and the exquisite cOloring,
should be felt. There is a world of art,
con dm0re work in Ireland for artists,
whether the district | have named be
taken, or the Conemara route, or Wick
low. The peasantry, and the very ami
mails, are unique, and harmoniZe admira-
bly with works of art. 1t is strange how
much artists have missed this mine of
artistic natural wealth"
A WIFE of Detroit, seeing a paragraph
in the papers to the effect that 'matTi-
monial couples in Illinois get divorced
just in order to have the pleasure of fresh
counting and a new honeymoon" induced
her husband, after much persuasion, TO
consent tn a divorce '1ust for the fun of
the thing" When the divorce was OBJ
tanned, the ex-husband was astonished to
find that the ''courting" and honeymoon
ing" of his wife were TO be done with an
other fellow. He doesn't think divorcing
for fun very funny after all. His wife
sees where the laugh comes in, but be
never did have an appreciation OF humor.-
THE Paris Figaro warns its readers
against placing too mulch confidence in
the announcement of a hotel whose
proprietor informs the public that Eng
lish, German, Italian, and Spanish are
spoken here" An Englishman, it says,
who lately descended" at the hotel in
question, and could find no waiter pos
sessing even the most rudimentary &C
quaintance with the English language,
asked for the interpreter, and being told
that there was none, demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. "By whom, then," he in
quired, "are English, German, Italian,
and Spanish spoken" "By the travellers,
sir, who come to the hotel" was the re-
ply.
A GENTLEMAN of veracity relates that
some years ago he witnessed the ''charm-
ing" of a squirrel in Uchee swamp, Rus
sell County, Alabama. He spied the lit
tie animal capering about in a strange
kind of manner, and upon looking around
saw the snake with his eyes intently set
upon the squirrel. The snake made no
attempt to strike, and the squirrel would
come near enough to rub against the
monsters throat. The gentleman pro-
cured a stick and struck the snake terri
BILE blow across the head, which made
him writhe in agony. The squirrel, six
feet off, fell down at the same time, and
seemed also to suffer intense pain. Blood
gushed out of the snakes mouth and
simultaneously out of the squirrels, and
finally both died at the same moment.
