with bright and quito feminine grace. Tht
spirit of kindlncss is made to slime through all
overlaying punctilios as the true basls OF good
manners.

charm which tzuo politeuess sheds over its
possessor is not easily described; yet it il felt
BY every one, aud invariably responded to by ths
best feelings Of their nature.
It il the secret sympathy,
