Civility costs little, and pays in the long
run, \ story at the expense Of Lawrence
man who had a small party under escort
form tins city TO q seaside resort, is then
est illustration. Arrived at the railroad
terminus, there was only one hack. The
Lawrence man wanted the exclusive use Of
1t FOR himself aud three persons whom he
considered himself houored by escorting.
IN elderly lady, very plain in appearance,
desired seat inside, aud that the Lawrence
man should accommodate her by riding
upon the box with the driver. lie was firm
IN his purpose though, Of monopolizing the
hack, and the hack-driver, with an eye to
business, auciioncd of the use Of the yehi-
Gle, finally making bargain with the Law
renee man for six dollars The hack rolled
away with the Lawrence man trumphantly
in possession, leaving the old lady standing
upon the depot platform to make her way
as best she could. In the evening the Law
renee man was relating TO a company Of ac-
quaintances his experience with a trouble
some, fussy old Irish woman at the station"
gentleman who was standing by, we'll
known as quite prominent in business affairs
IN New Hampshire city, remarked that
the Lawrence mans experience was indeed
singular, aud that there was, too strange
coincidence. MY mother" he said, an
elderly lady upwards Of eighty-fve, came
down from home this afternoon, and she
was telling us at tea that she had great
row about getting hack at the station,
with a drunken, insolent, red headed Irish
man, There seems TO be a good deal OF
trouble about hacks this afternoon" The
Lawrence man took, and SO did the by.
ISLANDERS. The story got bacl, to Lawrence,
aud if YOU ask him now about that fussy
old Irish woman from Nashua" the Law
renee man will probably ask how your fam
lily are and if you aren't glad that there has
been such pleasant change in the weather

Perhaps one of the most positive proofs
we have OF tle souls Independence OF the
body is our great need of love and Of some
thing TO love Were We mere animals
creatures doomed to perish after few years
of life in this world that which contents
the brute would also content us. To eat
and sleep well. 10 have au easy time of it

an these things, aud health to enjoy them,
and yet be utterly Wre,ched Neither can
mental food satisfy MS. some one TO love -
is our hearts cry.
When the atmosphere of tenderness is
about us We rejoice when people are harsh
and unkind we suffer We begin life wish
ing to love all people, and believing that
they love as. Our dear ones grow fewer
but, as long as reason lasts, We must have
some one--we must at least imagine that
some one loves Us. The parents, sisters and
brothcrs-that dearest friend whom We
promise to love and cherish until death parts
us-these come into our lives and fill them
mp. Afterwards come the little children
frail. helpless babies, who need our care so
much and friends to whom We are not kin,
yet who grow dear 30 us.
Some have many loved ones, and some
but one. Heaven help those who have none,
though they are generally 10 blame for their
empty-heartedness- kindness wins love.

Friendship is good deal like china. 1t
is very durable and beautiful as long as it
is whole but break it, and all the cement
in the world will never quite repair the dam
age. You may stick the pieces together so
that, at a distance, it looks nearly as well as
ever, but it wont hold hot water. Ii is al
ways ready to deceive you if you trust it,
and it is, on the whole, very worthless
thing, fit only to be put empty on n shelf
and forgotten there. The finer and more
delicate it is, the more utter the ruin. A
mere acquaintance, which needs only a
little ill-humor TO break it up may be
coarsely puttied like that old yellow basin in
the store-cosct bnt tenderness, and trust, and
sweet exchange of confidence can no more
be yours when angry words and thoughts
have broken them than can those delicate
porcelain tea-cups which were splntered to
pieces be restored TO their original excel
lence. The slightest crack will spoil the
true ring, and you had better search for a
new friend than try 20 mend the old one.
And all this has nothing 10 do with forgive
ness. One may forgive and be forgiven, but
the deed has been done and the words said /;
the flowers and the gliding are gone The
formal "making up" especially between
two women, is of no more avail than the
wonderful cements that have made cracked
ugliness of your china vase that you ex-
pected to be your "joy forever" Handled
delicately, washed to purity in the waters of
truth, confded TO no careless, unsympathiz-
ing hands, friendship may last two lives out ;
but it does not pay to try and mend it.
Once broken, 1t Is spoiled forever.

Don't, Girls.

Don't think that yards aud yards of rib
bons, ruiiles and lace, will add one particle
TO your value. Don't make a walking mil
liners shop or jewellers store of yourselves,
covering all that is of true merit within you
with that which will only attract the shall
low-brained. Don't think sensible people
are 10 be deceived with vain show they
look for beauty of heart and mind. Don't
flatter yourselves it is smart 10 affect ignor-
anee OF manual labor, or to be ignorant of it.
Don't give the subject Of matrimony a
thought while you are in your teens, except
TO qualify yourself for the responsible posi-
tion ii places you in you need all Of that
time of your life to fit yourself for it, You
need TO study books, the laws of life and
health to be well experienced in the culn-
AIRY art as perhaps the happiness and health
Of hundreds are depending ON your knowl-
edge OF this Don't give your time and
talents to the world, or to seeking the things
of time aud sense that perish with their
using. God has created you for nobler
parpose, and made you accountable for
what lie has given you. Don't sell your
birth-right for mess Of pottage.

Women and Letters.

Women are more apt 10 keep old letters
than men are For this reason do they
especially need advice upon this subject.
This is an uncertain world Hearts change
men and women die but the senseless ink
aud paper, if not given to the flames, remain
TO confront, in the most unexpected moment,
those who have used them. A letter, full
of affection, or, still better, of love, seems so
much part of the one who has written it,
that to burn it seems like indifference or
cruelty. With what melancholy pleasure
do we, years after they are written, read over
old letters How hard il Is to clean out aud
"put TO rights old cupboards, closets and
boxes in which are stored letters from our
dearest and best beloved, some of whom the
grave, cruel yet kind, holds some sleep,
perchance, in oceans depths, while some
alas are parted from us forever by remorse
less fate-more cruel than grave or ocean
wave. Yet, withal, this is one of the pleas
ures that stern duty calls upon us to forego
Loving words, the first trembling hope, the
last solemn asseyeation, the earnest pro
testation of unchanging affection, the piece
of gossip now seemingly harmless, should
all be given to the friendly fire. Their de
struction win occasion few passing heart
aches but their preservation may cause pain
and modification unspeakable.

that he must be like the awful, beautiful white

young lady stopped the white horse, so that
Deb could look across, and up aud down.
There is so much Of it," said Deb, softly,
thinking of the crack Of it that she had
seen between two houses for fifteen years.
For the crack seemed to her very much like
fifteen years IN a high-chair: and a long.
broad-shouldered, silvered river seemed to
her very much like this world about which
she had wondered.

great Androscoggiu pealed the time Just
over her head, and swallowed her up in

ror, and then she flushed with terrified de-
light
Did it pray, or cry, or laugh Deb did
not know. Il seemed TO her that if the
white horse would carry her into the great
heart of that bell, she need never sit in a
high-ohair at a window again, but ride and
ride with the young lady II seemed to her
like forever and forever.
They turned away from Androscoggin

speak there were so many lights.
And still she could not speak when they
rode into Brick Alley, and Jim McMahoney
and her mother and the children who did
not wonder, came out TO meet her and take
her back to her high-chair.
She was too happy to speak, She need
never wonder any more. She could re-

writer in the Metropolitan says We
once asked an old Winnebago squaw how it
was that she cured her sick family by simply
covering them every day with fresh EARTH
leaving only breathing spot for their noses
and She said Earth our mother Earth
made She, aud earth take good care to make
she papooses strong; squaw mother make
she papooses sick earth mother make she
papooses well again She can't tell white
squaw any more Now this poor Indian
woman was wise according to her lights.
Without knoWig why, she saw that the
earth was a friend 10 her children and there
fore gave them to il, healing embrace If
the mother be fortunate enough to live in
the country, she has the cure for many of
her children's ills quite at hand Encourage
baby to play in the fresh earth, preparing it
properly for its enjoyment and cure, with as
careful an eye to the comfort of the little
thing as you would if it We're to take any
other sort Of bath. If ithas no old dresses,
make it a suit of cheap print, tie upon its
head light hat, that will protect its eyes
from discomfort, and give it freedom to
delye in the warm, soft earth, where the sun
shine can comfort and inyigorate it. Ii it
is city child, and circumstances forbid a
trip to the country, for the sake of the weak
eonvalescent, have a sand heap made on the
warm side OF your yard. Instinct will teach
it to dig, and digging hardens the muscles
and gives strength to the bones, while from
the heart of the earth rises a subtle and
strong power of healing, that we can neither
explain nor understand for ourselves, though
we have both seen and felt its potency.

Poisoned Stockings.

The recent introduction and extended use
Of colored or striped stockings and the evil
effects experienced 10y the wearers of them,
have served to direct the attention of the
physician and analyst to the question of the
dyes used in coloiing them. The Pail Nal
Gazette, in noticing the evil effects Of wear
ing colOred hose. cites several instances where
the first symptoms were intense irritation in
the skin Of the feet, swelling, and an i'll
famed appearance then an outbreak OF wa
terry hlistcrs of all sizes, from groups of the
size of hcmp-secd 10 single blisters on the

severe attack the patient was rarely able TO
walk for three weeks and after one attack
passed off it was often followed by another
of a milder type. In one case n gentleman
was obliged TO wear cloth shoes for upward
of eight months, and with other patients the
system has been so impregnated with the
poison that blistors have re-appeared at in
tervals, not only on the feet, but on the hands,
ears, etc, for more than three years. There

Teaching Children Courtesy.

Many mothers forbid their toddling chill
dren any intercourse with other little people
because they suppose it is not time for then
to fully comprehend the courtesies of life
This is the very reason why they should be
taught TO be polite and considerate at the
earliest possible moment. We have seen

lesson bestowed upon child is exactness OF

But to teach child TO tell the truth requires
a process of incomprehensible reasoning
while an inhiction Of pain upon another
child has its immediate results, and the child
can both see and feel the consequences of It's
unkindness. 1t is very curious to observe
little people when they first meet. They
usually look at each other sharply, but spec
ulatively, and, after proper deliberation, de-
eide upon their line Of action. II is either
war or peace, but never entire indifference.
