COURTESY IN TRAvELING.-No-
where is well-bred courtesy, or the
lack of it, more observable than in trav-
cling. On the steamboat and in the
cars the quiet observer easily detects
those who have been educated under
refined influences, or those who, with
out special cultivation, are possessed
of native politeness. 1t is not educa-
ton alone, nor wealth, that makes one
pleasant travelling companion. There
must exist kindness of feeling toward
strangers, general recognition of equal
rights in the comforts and conveniences
provided for the public, and quicken
ed discernment for the needs of others.
Summer journeying in crowded boats
and cars is test of both patience and
politeness. Thrice happy are they who
pass nobly through it, for their own
sakes, for the comfort of companions,
and for the reputation of poor human
nature in general.

No Time to Read.

/" have no time to read, is the COM
mon complaint, and especially ofwomen,
whose occupations are such as to pre-
vent continuous book persual. They
seem to think, because they cannot de-
vote as much attention to books as they
are compelled to devote to their avoca-
tions that they cannot read anything. But
this is great mistake. 1t isn't the
books we finish at sitting which al
ways do us the most good. Those we
devour in the odd moments, half doz-
en- pages at time, often give us more
satisfaction, and are more thoroughly
digested than those we make partlc-
ular effort to read. The men who
have made their mark in the world have
generally been the men who have IN
boyhood formed the habit of reading at
every available moment, whether for
five minutes or five hours.
1t is the habit of reading rather than
the time at our command that helps US
on the road to learning. Many of the
most cultivated persons, whose names
have been famous as students, have CIV
en- only two or three hours day to their
books. If we make use of spare min
utes in the midst of our work, and read
little, if but a page or a paragraph,
we shall find our brains quickened and
our toll lightened by just so much in
creased satisfaction as the book gives US.
Nothing helps along the monotonous
daily round so much as fresh and strik-
ing thoughts, to be considered while our
hands are busy. A new idea from a
new volume is like oil which reduces
the friction of the machinery of life.
What we remember from brief glimpses
into books often serves as stimulus to
action, and becomes one of the most pre-
cious deposits in the treasury of our re-
collection. All knowledge is made up
in small parts, which would seem insig-
nifcant in themselves, but which, taken
together, are valuable weapons for the
mind and substantial armor for the soul.
Read anything continuously" says
DR.. Johnson, land you will be learn
ed" The odd minutes which we are
inclined to waste, if carefully availed of
for instruction, will, in the long run,
make golden hours and golden days
that we shall be ever thankful for

THE SHAH's HAREM-There are
three ranks of women in the harem, the
Begun, Canum, and Katun, or princess
es of the blood-royal, the mistresses
and the slaves. The guards hold the
most important offices in and about the
harem, and are divided into three grades
First, those who are placed at the out
er gates and never come within sight
of the women secondly, the blacks
from the coast of Malabar, who act as
messengers and the third composed of
women, commanded by some antiquat-
ed matron, who receives orders direct
from the prince himself. Most of the
ladies are Georgian and Circassian
women of low birth, but from the de-
scription Of two they must possess rare
charms. There are three European la
dies in the harem at present, one from
Paris, and two English blondes. From
all accounts it is not the life of roses
we have been led to believe; the rules
are so severely strict, and the punish
ment for the slightest otfense is carried
to an extreme point.
1t is said that Abbas H., finding that
his favorite had deceived him in tri-
fling matter, ordered fire to be made,
and caused her to be burnt in his pres
ence AS the ladies follow the king to
his other palaces, or to camp in time of
war, they travel at night guarded by a
troop of cavalry, who are directed to
keep every male exceeding the age of
seven years at proper distance. From
all accounts many would gladly return
to their homes, and many is the Gagged
bird who signs for the mountains and
green fields of her youth, longing to es-
cape from the prison life their position
forces them to lead. There is one ia
vorite, one special pet among them,
upon whom for her beauty, voice and
wit, the prince showers all his caresses );
how weary must the rest be singing,
dancing, or playing before him they
loathe, yet fear, forced to contribute to
the pleasures of their hated rival. Hap
py is she whom the king admires, and
can make him believe she has an equal
passion for him.

WIT AND HUMOR.

"You ought to let me pass here free
of charge, considering the benevolent
nature of my profession" said physl-
clan to toll-gate keeper. " Not so,
was the reply; "you send too many
dead-heads through here now" The
doctor didn't stop to argue the point,
but paid his toll and passed on.
A learned doctor in Washington in
forms the world that bald-headed men

A New England paper tells of a cat
which is bringing up two rats along
with her own kittens, and thinks she
has risen above the prejudices of race.

most sumptous dinner of them.-N. Y.

Texas extends special inducements
to immigrants to settle on its broad
lands. 1t is a very large State, and
matters are kept lively on the borders
by Indian and Mexican raiders and,
according to the statement of the Gov
ernor, u homicides were committed in
one-third of the State during the first
three months of the year. People with
morbid desire to get out of the world
will find the Texas route a tolerably
sure one.-N. Y. EUening Mail.
Dumas the Elder was very proud Of
the large sums paid for his writings.
One evening in the salon of rich finan-
cier the conversation turned upon the
remuneration of men of letters. s.
said Dumas, "am certainly the best
paid. l receive thirty sous a line"
Indeed, Monsieur said bystander,
q have never worked for less than a
million line. What do you think OF
that" "You are joking" Not at
all" "What are you, them" g Con-
structor of railways" The author
laughed; but was little vexed, never
theless.
One of our local judges lately took a
lesson in spelling in Justices court,
when Mr.. Wood was the witness.
"What is your name ~ asked the
clerk.
"Ottiwell Wood,' answered the
witness.
Glow do you spell your name:' p
then asked the somewhat puzzled judge.
Mr.. Wood replied:
80 double 7, 1 double U, E double
L, double U double o d."
The astonished judge thought that
was one of the most extraordinary
names he ever knew; and, after two or
three attempts to record it, both he and
the clerk gave it up, amid roars of
laughter.

TAKE THE OLD oNE.-In the quaint
old town of Burlington, New Jersey,
liveda colored divine, who was known to
his ebony countrymen by the euphoni-
Gus name of Brudder Jacksing."
Some years ago the aforementioned
" brudder," was preaching to his de-
luded brudderin,' when, all of sudden,
getting much excited, and picking up
the elegant new Bible which reposed
before him upon that sacred altar for
the first Sunday, held it poised in mid
air for a moment, when down it came
like thunderbolt to it's former resting
place. This was noticed instanter by
one of " de belubbed,' who, thinking,
perhaps, the whole proceeding totally
wrong, Immediately exclaimed, in a
voice loud enoug to be heard all over
the room: g Brudder Jacksing, if yer
wants to try dat 'speriment ober again,
why, just please to take de old Bible y

DEEP WELL.-At the village of
Sperenberg, about twenty miles from
Berlin, well has been sunk to the
depth of 4l94 feet. A shaft was sunk
in this locality because the known ex-
istence of gypsum there led the explor-
ers to infer that they might possibly
find mine of rock salt. At the depth
of $50 feet they did reach the salt; and
continuing on, they passed through the
salt deposit-3907 feet-without hav-
ing reached the bottom oft. The Dor
ing would have been continued, to as
certain what deposit lay under the salt,
but the mechanical difficulties were too
great. The greater part of the boring
was done by steam.

ID1ors IN CHURcH.-A clergyman
was recently annoyed by people talking
and giggling. He paused, looked at
the disturbers, and said: d" am always

for this reason: Some years since, as
was preaching, young man who sat
before me was constantly laughing,
talking, and making uncouth grimaces.
paused and administered severe re-
buke. After the close of the service a
gentleman said to me: Sir, you have
made great mistake. That young
man was an idiot Since that l have
always been afraid to reprove those who
misbehave themselves in chapel least l
should repeat that mistake and reprove
another idiot. During the rest of the
service there was good order.

as to me; but the work as it stands has
