VaIus OF Time.

He who every mornin G plans the trans
actions of the day, and follows out that
plan. carries on thread which viii guide
him through the labYrinths of the most
busy life, the orderly arrangement of his
time is like ray of light, which darts it.
self through all his affairs. But where
no plan is laid-where the disposal of
time is surrendered merely to the chance
of incidents-all things lie huddled IN
one chaos, which admits neither Of distri-
button nor review.
The first requisite for introducing or
der in the management of time, is to be
impressed with q Just sense of its value.
Let US consider well how much depends
upon it, and how fast 1t flies away, The
bulk of men are IN nothing more CAPRI
cious and inconsistent than in their ap
probation Of time. When they think of
1t as the measure Of their continuance on
earth, they highly prize it. & seek with the
greatest anxiety to lengthen 1t out; but
when they review it in separate parcels,
they appear to hold it in contempt, and
squander 1t with. inconsiderate profaslon,
at the same time complaining that life IS
short"
Among those who are so careless of
time, we cannot expect to find order much
observed in its distribution; and, by such
fatal neglect, how many materials tor Sc
we're and lasting regret are they laying up
in store ior themselves The time which
is suffered to pass away in the midst of
confusion, bitter repentance seeks IN vain
to recall. What was omitted to be done
at the proper moment, arises to be the
torment Of some future season. Manhood
Is disgraced by neglect of youth. Old
age, oppressed by cares that belong 70 3
former period, labors under burden not
its own At the close of life the dyin g
man beholds with anguish that his days
are finishing, when his preparation for
are the effects of disorderlY waste of
time.-BLAIR.

French Politeness.

I had heard, as every one has, of the
politeness for which the French of all
classes are famous; and reaolved strictly
to test it.
On one of the crowded boulevards 1
saw, one day, a woman who might be of
any age from sixty to eighty, sitting bow
ed as with infirmity, over a stall loaded
with apples and oranges; her wrinkled
face the color of time-stained parchment,
her eyes half closed, and her whole ex-
preston betokening stolid sadness and
habitual suffering. l made no offer to
buy. but doffed my hat to her, as one in
stinctively does in France when address,
ing any woman, told her was stranger,
that l desired to reach such a street, nam
ing it, and begged that she would have
the goodness to direct me thither.
1 shall never forget the transformation
that toak place while I was speaking
The crouched figure erected ftself; the face
awoke, its stolid look and half its wrink-
les, as it seemed, gone; the apparent sui
lenness replaced by a gentle and kindly
air; while the voice was pitched In a
pleasant and courteous tone. 1t said,
Monsieur will be so good as to cross the
boulevard Just here, then to pass on
leaving two cross streets behind him; al
the third cross-street he will please turn
to the right, and then he will be 80 kind
as to descend that street until be shall
have passed the cathedral on the left
Monsieur will be careful not to leave thii
street until he shall have passed the ca
thedral and another cross-street; then h'
will turn to the left, and continue until h'
reaches fountain. after which and 81
on through sundry other turnings anc
windings
I thanked the good woman, but begged
that she would have the kindness to re
peat her directions, as feared to forge
them. This she did, word for word, wltt
the utmost patience and bo1lhoDaSe, &C
companying her speech as she had don,
before, with little, appropriate gestures
I was sorely tempted to offer her a piec'
of money. But something restrained me
and I am satisfied that she did not expec
it. So l merely took off my hat secon'
tine, bowed, and bade her farewell. Sh,
| dismissed me as gracefully as q grand
dame of the Fauburg st. German nigh
some visitor to her gorgeous boudoir.--
