Civility as an Investment.

There is a proverb which runs: "Civ-
ility costs nothing" and the point made
is, that every one who has business to
transact can afford to add civility to his
stock in trade. AS it costs nothing, it in
wolves no increase of capital, while it
vastly and pleasantly facilitates trade
and profit Sometimes on entering a
store or counting-room the customer is
met with manners which seem to say,
''Now then, be quick, your coming is an
interruption which must cease as soon as
possible" So actions speak, while words
are few, and every desire on the part of
the customer is met as something which
should be frowned on and repressed. The
unfortunate would-be buyer feels that he
is put at disadvantage; that he is an
unmannerly intruder on another mans
premises. If he is at all of modest dis
position, he feels very much ashamed of
himself that he should dare to want
anything. He either retreats with an
apology or accepts something he does
not want, with an inward resolution nev-
er to be caught in such dilemma again.
There are business men and women
who make fortunes simply by their civil
ity. Their wares or their services are no
better probably than the stock in trade
of their crusty neighbors. But, having
undertaken business or adopted pro-
fession, they are wise enough to know
that whatever is to be done successfully
must be done with good grace and with
a good will. They do not show by their
behavior that they consider everybody
an intruder, but act in the persuasion
that everybody may be friendly. They
do not treat people as though they were
in hurry to be done with them at once
and forever, but as though even a casual
caller may be cultivated into an acquain-
tance and made constant customer.
To neglect the small courtesies of life
is to ensure neglect for yourself, And
the reasons that some persons are sue
cessful and others not, is often found in
in the fact that the successful invite
strangers to become friends by civility,
while the others repel even friends by
the want of courtesy

The Wrong Color.

Red, the most vivid of colors, is s54pecu-
liarly stimulating to the organs of vision,
but a blush on the cheek does not always
give pleasure or denote innocence 1t is
sometimes the indication of anger, or
pride, or conscious error, as it is of mod
esty, nor is it the undertaking sign of
health-it glows with more brilliancy in
the face of the inveterate sot than in the
natural complexion
An amusing anecdote is related of
lady, who piqued herself on-the beauty,
freshness, and pure white of her COM
plexlon, attending chemical lecture.
She had not been there long when sud-
denly her face was observed by all pres
ent to become perfectly blue. Uncon-
seious OF the change, or of the attention
directed to her ghastly features, she
smllingly continued talking to her ac-
quintance, and, if she remarked the won
dering eyes turned towards her, doubt
less attributed their gaze to the fairness
of which she was vain
At length one of her companions ven
tured to whisper in her ear the strange
and alarming alteration that had taken
place, which, on her making a precipi-
tate retreat, was attributed by the lectu-
rer to its true cause.-The cosmetic which
she had used being affected by some salt
or acid employed in his experiments had
the marvellous transfguration.

From the Gallipolis Journal
Be Wise.

The Prohibitionists of Jackson county
have entered the field as a political or
ganization. Their object, the suppression
of intemperance, is a worthy one, but let
US apply a few practical thoughts to the
movement, and thus learn what the
outcome is to be- If it win be evil, in
stead of good, then there should be a
turning back movement rather than a
forward one The Frohibitionists have
nominated good temperance man nam-
ed Scott, for Representative. The Re-
publicans have nominated equally as
good a temperance man by the pane of
Harrison. The Democrats have not yet
named their candidate, but he will be
presented in due time, and when presen-
ted, he WILL without doubt, be found with
his party upon this question. And what
is that? We will let Hon. John G,
Thompson, the Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, explain
it, as he is authority in all such matters.
In his place in the Senate, a year ago last
winter, in a discussion upon this very
subject of temperance, we heard from
him this utterance: Tire Democracy Of
Ohio favor free trade in all things, and
especially ia Egu0p. We are sure we do
not misquote him, for it startled others
as we'll as ourself.
Now, what IS to be the practical result
of this Probationary movement in
Jackson county? We presume it will be
agreed to by every one, that either the
Republican candidate or the Democratic
candidate is to be elected. The Republi-
can candidate will be elected if the Re
publican vote is not divided. But sup
pose it is divided between Harrison and
Scott, what then? The result IS as plain
as the nose upon a man 5 face-tree trade
IN liquor, so far as Jackson county can
make it.
This is the practical working of this
movement in jackson county, and it is
wrought out by the indiscreet policy of
men, who, we doubt not, sincerely prefer
a totally different result They act from
pure, good motives, but their plans lack
that wisdom which works good results
This question is in like manner serious
ly complicated in other counties besides
jackson, and, as it is a question of vast
Importance to the good of the State, and
to the people thereof we ask for this
| view oft the careful and oonsiderate at
tention of all friends of progress and re-
| form. We all desire lessening of the
evils of intemperance, the result of the
present unlimited sale of that which in
| toXicates, and which makes demons OF
| intelligent souls, but that lessening can
never be reached by division Of the eff
| forts of those who seek such a reform.
| In union there is strength, but house
| divided against itself must fall. Failure
| in a movement of this character means
misery and pauperism to millions. What
a responsibility ! Think of it, and then
! be wise.

Practical Education.

Reader, look around you for moment
and answer these questions; Among
those whom you are in the habit of call
ing intelligent and educated men and
women, how many know anything at all
of punctuation How many can tell you
the rule of three? How many can tell
you where Afghanistan is, and why Eng
land should be interested in preventing
Russian aggression in that direction
How many can properly capitalize the
letters they write? How many under
stand book-keeping2 How many write
readable hand? How many can com
pose ten lines without glaring grammati-
cal errors? How many can spell twenty
words you propose without making ridic-
ulous mistakes 2 Yet all of these intelli-
gent, educated refined gentlemen have
studied at school the higher branches
can exhibit a light acquaintance with
Latin, and mayhap have not forgotten
the Greek alphabet. They are not the
kind of educated people we believe in.
We want the body of the people to have
a good, honest, complete English educa-
ton; after that, whatever you please.
We believe that one Horace Greeley, un-
derstanding English and having ideas, is
worth more to the country than a million
Of the superficial scholars who are SO nu-
merous in all walks of ife.-Los angeles

Parents who Err.

Those who cling to the good old ways
of their childhood, and who will not be
lieve in the superior utility of anything g
new. Those who believe that teacher
who can read, write and cipher, can
teach the elements of an ordinary educa-
tion as well as one who is thorough
scholar. Those who think it economy to
send their children to cheap schools.
Those who believe that good teachers
and thorough instruction can be had at
low rates of tuition. Those who are too
busy to visit the schools where their
children are attending. Those who
think they have done their whole duty,
when they have furnished their scholars
with books and sent them to school.
Those who always lend ready ear to
the most trivial complaint of their chill
drcn Those who animadvert justly or
uniustly upon the conduct of the teacher
in the presence of the children. H
Those who employ teacher in whom
they do not place confidence. Those who
labor under the impression that a child
should never be sent to school if the said
child dislikes the teacher.
Those who are chagrined and show
their chagrin if their children are CEN
sured; and who without examining their
own conduct lay the blame of their chill
dPen's backwardness upon the teacher.
Those who imagine, because they have
brou 4ht up a family of children and been
with them every day, that they know
more of the character of children than
the man who has hundreds of them
under his care, of every variety and
description. Those who are too busy TO
watch and train and mould the charac-
ters Of their children in the right way.

Punctuality in Business.

How often have we heard business men
| censured for tardiness in keeping their
| appointments, or for failure in keeping .
| their engagements for the delivery OF
| goods, etc. Tailors, shoemalzers, millin-
| ers and dressmakers seem to receive the
! lions share of this censure; but it is by
no means confined to. them, being appli-
cable, more or less, to parties engaged in
almost every branch of trade.
The lack of punctuality is seemingly
one of the least excusable evils to which
humanity is addicted 1t is astonishing
after all the bitter experiences to which
people have been subj ed and the an
noyances which associations, and even
whole communities have suffered through
the lack of this one quality, which seems
so necessary to the smooth running of
the machinery of every day life that it
should receive SO little attention in daily
affairs. Its value cannot be estimated
by a single occurrence, or by one days
duration, but by its constant recognition
in the innumerable transactions of life
time
Every man is to some extent depend
ent upon his neighbor, let his position in
life be what itsmay- 1t will be thus seen
how important it is that his every en-
gagement should be promptly met, in
placed in one another. On the other
hand, the failure of, or delay in the per-
Torrance Of his duty, in this respect, not
only possibly inhicts injury upon those
with whom he deals but also upon him
self by indulgence in SO pernicious a
habit Fse
Punctuality is of the utmost Importance
to the success of every one, and the only
reason for the lack Of it in some persons
is a want of energy or earnestness. They
make rash promises without due oonsid-
Grafton as to whether they can fulfill
them; their procrastinating spirit makes
them late in everything they attempt to
do. Besides being source of continual
annoyance, such persons seldom rise to
any eminence in life; we lose confidence
in them, and thus the reverse of emil
nenee is generally the result in their
case. This fact, together with the record
of many distinguished men, who have
attributed their chief success to the OBJ
servance of punctnality, should be eau
ton to all to make no promises OIL en-
gagements which they have not at least
reasonable prospect of fulfilling. By
the observance of this suggestion they
will establish for themselves a reputation
that will be at least pleasant, and can
but be beneficial. -..,.

Teasing.

We were in a family not long ago
where there were several children of va
rious ages, who all seemed to love each
other very much. but where the elder
ones appeared in taking delight in teas
ing and veXing the little ones. For in
stance. John took up little Nellie in his
strong arms and made believe that he
would throw her out of the window, just
on purpose to hear her scream and see
her terror As he went to Lucy's chair
he gave one of her curls a tWeak that
brought tears to her eyes, and with one
sweep of his hand he scattered the pieces
of Freldy's disseeted map, which the lit
tie fellow had nearly put together after
half an hours patient working. But bad
as he was he was not the worst. Anna
who besides being a girl, was old enough
to know better, had discovered a little
secret Of Lucy's which she told to the
others in such way as TO make the SEN
sitive childis face burn and to give her
heart such a hurt that it was long time
in healing. And it was all in fun r.
Now there is no doubt that John and
Anna both loved their brothers and sis
ters dearly. John would have fought
anybody who tried to injure them. Anna
would, and did often, put herself to great
trouble and inconvenience in taking care
OF them and dong things to please them.
And she did it cheertully, too. And that
made seem ali the more strange that
they should be willing to grieve and an
noy them just for the sake of sports.
And, after all, we could not see where
the fun came in. Terror and anger and
tears are surely anything but funny. And
it occurs to US, now we think of it, that
there is no fun which is not funny on
both sides. Play ON one side and pain
on the other is not at all the genuine ar
ticle And another thing strikes us as
being very curious about the matter, and
that is, that those who delight in doing
such things always play their tricks upon
somebody who is younger and weaker
than themselves. And we know the
name for that. Yes, these inveterate
teasers may be pretty generally set do6n
as towards. There is teasing which is
altogether pleasant and proper, and caus-
es nobody suffering; and very safe rule
to go by in all cases is to put yourself in
the other persons place and ask yourself
if you, being in their circumstances,
would like the same thing to be done to
you.-Ad0ance.

How to Quit a Habit.

From all that we are able to learn, the
habit of chewing tobacco is much more
difficult to reform than that of smoking;
but in most instances smoking can be
substituted for chewing without serious
inconvenience. If a man who smokes
wishes to rid himself of the habit, let him
diminish week. by week the number of
cigars or pipes smoked daily. If he
smoked regularly six cigars day, it does
not seem to us that it would be any very
great hardship to bring down the num-
ber to five. After smoking FIVE cigars
daily for week, let him reduce the num-
Der to four, and after the lapse of anoth-
er week to three; and so on, reducing
the daily allowance each subsequent
week by one cigar, until he comes down
to none at all.
If the subject be chewer of tobacco
instead of a smoker, let him quit chew
ing and take to smoking for a month, or
such length of time as may be necessary
to make him feel quite as comfortable as
before the change was made. From this
point let him proceed as in the first ex-
ample.
But suppose the offender ohews and
smokes both. This is truly a bad case,
still not quite desperate. To such one
we should say: First stop your smoking;
then, after few weeks of chewing only,
quit that and substitute smoking in place
of it. This accomplished, you can pro-
ceed as in the first example.

A Fable with a Moral.

A woodpecker who had bored multi
tude of holes in the body of dead tree,
was asked by robin to explain their
purpose.
As yet, in the infancy of SCIENCE" re-
piled the woodpecker, 81 am quite unable
to do SO. Some naturalists affirm that l
hide acorns in these pits; others main
tain that | get worms out of them. l
endeavered. for some time, to reconcile
the two theories, but the worms ate my
acorns, and then would not come out
Since then have left science to work
out its own problems, while l work out
the holes. I hope the final decision may
be in some way advantageous to me, for
at my nest have number of prepared
holes, which l can hammer into some
suitable tree at a moments notice. Per-
haps l could insert few into the scien-
tific head"
t"No-o-o," said the robin, reflectively,
II should think not. A prepared hole is
an idea; l don't think it could get in
