On Good Manners.

The Importance of fine and cul
tivated manners cannot he over-es
timated. Such cultivation is to b,
obtained by association with thos,
who are cultivated, and we shonl6
properly consider the Importance
OF securing such associates for our
children. Behavior is all import.
ant. Posture should be studied
An awkward man is graceful when
asleep, or when hard at work.
When our mind is occupied we
naturally assume a proper position.
Great power lies in the voice. One
man, by his tones, can animate a
regiment, while another has no fol.
lowing power.
There is an immense difference
between a heavy and a genial char
acter. The youth Of America gen.
orally appears hurried and i'll at
ease, yet no life is so short but there
is always time for courtesy. Per-
feet self-command Is the REST of
manners. The example of the
Quakers Is commendable. They.
when sitting down to meals, spend
a minute or two IN silent prayer
Such a course prevents laughter
and unseemly conversation, and
gives them an opportunity to start
their conversation anew from adj
vantageous grounds. The changes
10 ones experience is manifested in
their countenances, even IL we are
not sufficiently subtitle to under |
stand them. A lady loses much of
her power when she endeavors TO |
express an undue admiration of an
object. Be temperate in our ap-
oroval and we shall be credited
With meaning what we express

"Well, l might possibly make it

"Tbat makes, with the S155 left,

the ready Amelia.
"You may add to that SIS, which
you could readily save on amuse-

years of such economy would en-
able you to buy nice little house
of your own, where with q frugal
wife, you could both live very COM
fortably, for what it costs you to
live by yourself now"
If Henry is anything like the
man he ought to I've, he will say at
this juncture that the very wife to
live in such a house is the young
lady who has herself suggested it,
and will forthwith proceed to act
upon her advice. There are, with

This is an inquiry which every one
should have truthfuiiy answered before
he starts on his Journey, and little care
taken in examination OF routes will in
many cases save much trouble, time and
money.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has achieved a splendid reputa-
Iion IN The last three years as the leading
Passenger Route to the West, Starting AT
Chicago or Peoria, 1t runs direct through
Southern Iowa and Nebraska, with close
connections To California and the Terri
tories. 1t is also the short line and best
line to Quincy. Missouri, and all points in
Kansas and New Mexico. Passengers
on their way westward cannot do better
than to take this route.
This line has published pamphlet en-
titled "How TO GO WEST" which con-
