the tributaries of the lake that has
no bar at it's mouth.

COMMON POLITENESS.

1t Is not polite to refuse to &C
commodate another, when it is in
your power. and you can DO it
without detriment to yourself ard
without infringing on the rights
Of others.
1t is not polite to request Of an
other favor you would not will
Iingly grant under similar circum-
stances.
1t is not polite to invite persons
to yonr house when you do not
desire to see them.
1t is not polite to chew tobacco
in the presence Of those to whom
your breath may be offensive
whether in q dwelling.house,
stage coach: a car or q steamboat.
1t is not polite to say through
another to q stranger Or acquaint-
ance at the door, whom you do not
wish to see, that you are engaged
or not at home.
1t is not polite to spit on the
floor ofa church: q dwc!Iing-bouse,
car, in the cabin of l. steamboat
or d ferry boat. The splitting on
the floors Of our cars and ferry
boats has become so common that
ladies have often found it difficult
to obtain seats where they could
prevent soiling their dresses. A
person who uses tobacco, and is
obliged TO spit should never enter
apartments set apart exclusively
for ladies and gentlemen, unless
be is willing to swallow the delect-
able juice.
1t is not polite to con tradict an
other, or rudcly to question the
truth Of his remarks. You should
speak with moderation, and con-
vince with truthful arguments.
1t is not polite, when passing
another on the sidewalk, to turn
to the left; always to the right.
1t is not polite to hurry through
the streets, jarring one person,
jostling another, aud stepping on
the toes of q third.
1t is not polite to use perfumery
about your person. Nature does
not require it in those who keep
themselves clean and pare. When
a person is highly scented, it ap-
pears as If it were done TO conceal
an offensive breath or some other
disagreeab!e smell.
1t is not polite to borrow money,
book or any article and not to
return it at the time designated, or
to wait until called upon by the
owner. Forgetfulness or thought
lessness is not i justifable excuse
when you retain. q moment longer
than the time specified, whatever
belongs TO another.
1t is not polite to use pompous
or bigh-sounding words in con7er-
sation. The more simple words
the better, in which you can con.
vey your meaning and be under
stood.
1t is not polite to notice the de-
fects Of nature in others, or to
speak in their presence of their de-
formity. Cast your eyes on what
is perfect, and speak only Of what
is agreeable.
I: is not polite to beg earnestly
in public for any charitable object.
1t is sufficient to lay your case be-
fore your hearers, and let them de-
eide how much it is their duty to
give. They can judgewithout the
advice or dictations Of another.

R,CH Poor PE1pLE-The title TO

R,cH Poor PEopLE.-The title to
the subjoined is as above, and
though it may appear very paradox
ical, is yet true in every word and
line. There are those in this world
having not a single acre who are
fer happier than the ones who count
their thousands. Acontented mind
is happier itself, and study, appli-
cation, and the exercise OF 4 little
philosophy will be found most
excellent recipe to produce content
mcnt. There is deal OF truth in
this extract, and We give it, hoping
that like seed cast by the way
side, it may spring up i'll SOME heart,
and produce the richest flowers of
happiness:
There are such, and We have
seen them. They are in our judg-
ment, the profoundest philosophers,
and the happiest fellows on the plan
ct. We have been in modest houses
of those who never were and never
will be over-supplied with the wealth
OF this world, and there witnessed
what wealth could not buy-scenes
Of happiness that were real, because
they grew out of contented and dis
ciplined hearts. 1t is easy enough
to be rich-misfortune excepted
Let a person elevate his thoughts,
developing in intellectual and spin
itual parts more than the qualities
that have to do with nothing but
material and earthly existence, and
be will be astonished to find what a
sllrinkage his income is easily cap
able Of undergoing. He will find
that he is obliged to labor for others
less, while he does for himself yet
more and more. There is many q
man, intelligent and refined, who
dwells in apartments Of moderate
dimensions, yet gets vastly more
happiness out of existence than any
millionaire. 1t makes great differ
ence whether one is comfortably sit
uated, and with slender means at
that, or is perfectly wretched with
the care of his accumulated means
in the shape of stocks and bonds"

AN AMERICAN WOWAN'S EX-
PESEENCE OF TEE TURK
G$H i5.ATEE.

Olive Harper, writing from Con-
stantinople, thus lays bare the mys.
teries OF the bath in the far East:
I have read, certainly not less
than fifty times, elaborate descrip-
tions of gcnu ne Turkish baths, by
Bayard Taylor, Ross Broune and
others, and I have always had my
imagination filed with the COM
bined ecstacies of being scrubbed
with hot water and perfumed soap
and iced sherbet, and T made up my
mind not to leave Turkey without
having that delightful experience.
You know thai [ belong to the
softer sex. and that they do not
bathe promiscuously here as in Ba-
den. Long Branch and many other
fashionable places. This Iath where
I went is for ladies alone, not even
the common herd" being admitted,
for the charge is very high.
-Four of us went, together with
two women servants, who carried
our towels, bathing dresses and
lunch. It is an all-days job, and
the ladies all take lunch with them.
On entering we were conducted
tc a large room, where we must un-
dress and leave our things. I think
tl2ore were nearly fifty women there
il all stages of undress, who all
paused to regard us with curiosity
while we disrobed. Men can pull
off their most sacred garments, toss
them in heap, and run about as if
nothing were amiss, but somehow I
felt as Eve did when she had made
the discovery that she was little
too thinly cad for the time of the
year.
\ servant caught up our bathing
dresses and left the room, beckon-
ING us to follow. We ian the gaunt-
let of a hundred pairs of eyes be
fore we reached the divan where I
was laid like a defunct The room
was very warm and grew warmer
perceptibly, though how: I don't
know. until l bean to feel as if I
should sutfocate, my heart beat
painfully hard and I grew very faint,
when one of the women gave me
some lemonade, of which I drank
two glasses. Then all of sudden,
I began to perspire, and I looked
like a pumpkin that had laid out all
night in heavy dew. I felt as if I
was dssolving, and waited patiently
till the end should come, and I
should be but the transparent es-
sence of what was once very sub
stantial body; but that time had
not come. I was so sleepy that I
felt like calling very hard names,
when the woman came and made
me get up, after she had rubbed me
| down like a race horse with a pair

OUR Congressman, Mr.. Burleigh, has not
the extended reputation of Gen. Butler, for
which we are heartily glad; Lut as clear
headed fnancer he is as far ahead of the Es-
sex statesmen, as the latter is Mr. Burleighs
superior in an intimacy with "ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain.' The other
day when Gen. Butler was making his infla-
ton speech, Mr.. Burleigh ventured to ask
him how much more purchasing power is
there in our currency to-day than before Sec
rotary Richardson issued 5000, 900 of the
so called reserve. Butler conld not be brought
to face the question with 10th eyes at once,
but after squirting at il for time replied
about one-torty second part of one per cent
To this Mr. BurleIgh said: sin the panic,
with the balance of trade in our favor, with
gold being exported, the Secretary of the
Treasury thought fit to issue $26, 1000 in
amount of greenbacks, which were then al,
LOT. There were more than seven hundred
millions in the market. He reduced the value
OF these greenbacks five per cent. at once,
which was 35,000.000. and run the Govern
ment in debt s26, 100000 in gold, and that is
the way we stand to-day if you take account

and logic and that there has been a loss of

The Bangor Commercial comes TO us print
ed cup side down." We can only account
for this freak on the ground that its ecstacy
over the Connecticut election has set the
Commercial walking on its head. In its
comments on that result, it says, "Thus the
State is overwhelmingly and thoroughly
Democratic in all its departments. thus
Connecticut stands side by side with New
Hampshire Thus has been virdicated the
wisdom of the grand example Of the Democ-
racy of Ohio last year in ignoring all alliances
and amagamations, and in going into the
contest on pure Democratic principles sus-
tanned by one time -honored organization."-
Which is to say: ''Young Democracy, to the
rear.''

moralizing, and they are bent on having a

why the net income of the road was falling off
