INCoNyENIENT ETIQu ETrE.-A pro-
lessor in one Of our Western colleges,
whose bodily presence was weak, but
who, having II tall spirit, was determined
to bate no inch Of the respect due to his
Office or himself, disapproving also Of the
lax convcntionality OF the " frontier"
requested the students whenever they
should meet him, DIR. H., their friend
and professor, TO take of their hats. This
enactment did not suit tho Western tenn
per, and stirred slightly the Western
pulse. No remonstrancc, however, was
offered, and the doctor, who had been
visited by misgiyings as TO the result,
breathcd freely, felt that the rough point
was rounded, and feicitatcd himself upon
his lirmness
Returning one evening from n supper
party, in an unusually genial mood, DIR.
II. ascendcd the long flight Of stone steps
leading to his room. When about half
way up he deserted Mr.. g., from St.
Paul, coming down, both arm caspod
round II bundle Of kindling wood. AS he
drew near, the doctor uttered his bland
good evening"" (the rising English in
llcction managed to II nicety,) touching
his hat as he spoke. The Minnesotian
returned the salute de ri0ue,r, unloosing
as he did 50 the fatal iagots with fall
like thunder. Hop, skip and jump
could not save the unfortunate doctor,
when, sent surely by his evil genius, at
this moment who should appear upon
the scene but Captain X, the one-armed
hero from Wisconsin, with his Saturday
nights pail Of hot water.
Because his friond was in grief, should
he pass by him? Beholding his chief, for
the moment stripped of office, capering
upon the stairs, should he refuse to sa-
lutte him2 NE, 10 whom regulation 4"
was both law and instinct2 Never and
his faithful left " sought his hat. Away
went the pail bump thump splash |!
dash
"Conlound you both !" roared the un-
fortunate recipient Of college honors,
rubbing and wringing by turns.
Hot water is known to be an emolIient.
1t may have expedited the doctors recov-
cry. Certain il is that, after few days
secusion, during which there came fre-
quent puns Of camphor and opodeldoc
from his quiet room, and like horns
from clf-land family blowing" the echo
Of much din and ghostly laughter from
distant halls and corridors, the professor
again stood before his class.

HOW 10 MAKE a READABLE
PAPER.

The great secret of the success of a
newspaper is not SO much rs to what the
editor puts in its columns as to what he
leaves out. In connection with this fact
we give place to the following pleasing
and truthful paragraph from an Eastern
exchange: Looking back quarter of
Il century, one of the most pleasing pa
pers that we still keep fresh in our mcm-
ory is the Yankee Blade, before its re-
moval to Boston from Gardiner, Maine.
1t was then edited by legal gentleman
named Mathews-a Yankee blade that
could cut like Damascus two edge
sword, when he was in the mood, but
who rarely wrote fifty consecutive lines
upon any one subject. His forte lay in
scissoring," dovctailing," "appropri-
ating," or whatever else you may please
to call it. Every good thing he found
atloat he picked up and uscd-sometimes
furnishing and making it reflect new
light anon, tearing it to tatters with his
satire. We never tired of reading what
Mathew furnished. 1t was not "length-
encd sweetness long drawn out" but
quick, sharp, pungent, or caustic, and al
ways gentlcmanly. We were reminded
of the old Yankee Bi0de recently in con
ming over the pages of Rev. ID. ID. Chap
ms Rtcjfc Cturchmdn. Our reverend
friend likewise believes in the "scissors,"
and commends their judicious use, albeit
he writes more .or his paper than is good
for his physical health. Speaking Of a
cotcmporary, the Standard Of the Cross,
he says: Our copy Of the Stamford, every
week, after our scissors have got ut it,
looks like torn -llag-Very little
OF the original is left And this leads us
to say that the largest sheet, in the way
OF a newspaper, by no means is always
the best; neither paper that has the
most original matter in it. That is the
best paper which has the most good
things in it, como from whatever source
they may; and this is the secret of the
excellence Of the paper above mentioned.
Some papers seem to think it beneath
them to copy an article from II cotcmpor-
airy, or are afraid to let their readers
know that there are any other papers,
apparently; the result is that such arc
apt to be stupid enough, are platitudos at
best for no one brain can produce read
able paper, and out-of-the-way matter
readers do not want. Ii an article is u
good one, and has been often copied, it is
proof that it should be copied again, The
art Of "scissoring," we are constrained
to think, is II rare onc-quitc rs rare, if
not more so, than the art of writing,
Too often this is forgotten, both by odi-
tors and readers"

FALSE HUNuLITY.-Dr. Watson tells
a very good story of Sister Scrub, who
was given to hospitality, and the very
bad habit of running down everything
she had in the way of meat and drink, rs
if she would by this plan induce her
guests to praise them the more. Elder
Blunt had endured this kind of aflliction
several times, and undertook to put an
end to it. " Putting up" at Brother
Scrubs one day, his horse was cared for,
and he was shown into the best parlor,
where everything was as nice as new
pin. Mrs. Scrub was sorry her house
was upside down, and it wasn't tit for u
minister to sit down in, but she was glad
to see him, and would try to make him
comfortable. The dinner came on, and
Mrs. Scrub declared the dinner was 50
mean and miserable she was ashamed of
it; and when she was in iull blast with
her dcprecations, Elder Blunt jumped up,
said he couldn't and wouldn't stay in a
house where everything was in such
state; he would so where he could find
something fit to eat, and n decent place
to eat in. In spite Of all they could do,
the Elder insisted on having his horse and
quitting the house. Sister Scrub wcpt
sore over her fault and being heartily
ashamed and cured, the Elder in due time
returned and ever attcrward found n good
homo with Brother and Sister Scrub

WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.

For pleasure or pain, for veal or for woe
'ris the law of our being-wo reap as we SOW !;
We may try to oyado them, do what we will,
But our acts, like our shadows, will follow us
still.
The world is n wonderful chemist, be sure,
And detects in moment tho base or the pure;
We may boast of our claims to genius or birth,
But the world takes II man for just what he is
worth.
We start in the race for fortune or famc,
And then, whom we fail, tho world bears tho
blame;
But nine times ont of ten tits plain to be seen,
There's a"scrow somewhere loose" in the
human machine.
Arc you weariod and worn in the hard, earthly
strife?
Do you yearn for affection toswecton your lito?
Remember this great truth has often been
proved,
We must mako ourselves loyablc, would we
be loved.
Thongh life may appear as dcsolato track,
Yet the bread that we cast ON tho water comes
back.
This law was enacted by Heaven above,
That like attracts like, and love bogets love.
We are proud of our mansions of mortar and
stone,
In our gardens arc flowers from cvcry zone
But the beautiful gracos which blossom within
Grow shriyeled and die in the Upas of Sin.
We may make ourselves heroes and martyrs
for gold,
Till hellth becomes broken, and youth
becomes old.
All did we the samo for a beautiful love,
Our lives might bo music for angels above.
We reap what wo sow-oh, wonderful truth !
a truth hard to learn in the days of our youth.
But it shines out at last, as tho " hand ON the
WALL"
For the world has its debit" and "crodit 3"
for all.

A CERTAIN Doctor T, of town
north of Clyde, was strong and decided
Presbyterian, and his Indy love was rs
strong and decided Baptist. They woro
sitting together one evening, talking OF
their approaching nuptinls, when the
doctor rcmarkcd:
81 am thinking, my dear, of two
events which | shall number among tho
happicst in my life"
"And pray what may they be, doctorP"
remarked the lady.
"One is the hour when | shall call you
my wife for the first time"
"And the other ?'
alt is when we shall present our first
bairn for BAPTISM"
What sprinkled ?"
" Yes, my dear, sprnklcd."
"Nevor shall bairn of mine DO
sprinklcd, Doctor TT"
" Every bairn of mine, Miss Mach
shall be sprinkled."
"They shall be, hey ?"
" Yes, my love-"
" Well, sir, can tell you, then, that
your barns won't be my BARNS. So
goodnight, sir !"
The Indy left the room, and the doctor
left the house. The sequel was no mar-
riage-no barns.

AN old fellow who is noted, up town,
for his suffering, as well MS for his
shrowdnoss in making u bargain, stopped
at grocery and enquired
"llow m-m-many t-t-turkeys have you
g-g-got?"
" Eight, sir" replied the grocer.
"T-t-tough or t-t-tender2"
"Some are tender, and some tough"
was the reply.
81 k-kecp b-boardors," said the new
customer. "P-pick out the fGfour tt
toughest ones, if you p-p-p-pIease."
The delighted grocer very willingly
complied with the unusual request, and
said in his poitest tones
"These are the toughest ones, sir"
Upon which the customer coolly put
his hand upon the remaining four and
exclaimed :
"I'll t-t-talle M-M-these %
