TRUE PoLITENEss- YoUR HEART
IN THE RIaHT PLAcE.-One cannot be
polite and well-mannered without kind
feelings and q good heart. All the
rules for etiquette, all the hand-books
and Guides to Society" are worthless,
if you have nothing within your soul
which teaches you to do unto others as
you would have them do unto you.
You may learn to bow and to shake
hands according to the best rules of
department; you may pay calls at ex-
actly the right time, and understand
the corners of your visiting cards
thoroughly; but if you have spite in
your heart, and envy in your soul, you
will never be truly well-mannered.
If you desire to boast, to be conspic-
uous. to monopolize attention, to hurt
the feelings of innocent people. and to
SOW dissention between friends, you
cannot make lady or gentleman of
yourself by any number of airs and
greces. 'i
If you are kind and good, and wish
people we'll, and prefer to say pleasant
things when you can, you will be polite
without trying to be, aud only silly
people will criticise any hearty form Of
welcome, any effort to make them COM
Portable, that may occur.
Or course you may learn much by
observation and by associating with cul-
tivated people; but true politeness can
never be learnt by one whose heart ia
not in the right place.

p" Better take it, sir. A regular bar

And the proprietor of E. Jackolin's s
Trunk and Saddlery Emporium, on
Trade street, thrust his hands deep
down into his trousers pocket and as
sumed the insinuating grin that is sup
posed to facilitate business.
"But wasn't expecting to pay 40
much, hesitated Mr.. Earnest Elton, O
portly, middle-aged gentleman, with
gold eyeglasses, a spotless suit of fresh
broadcloth, and irreproacbable linen.
" I had limited myself to"
"Only two Of 'em made, SIR" per-
suasively broke in E. Jackolin, lower
ing his voice to whisper. "Couldn't

five dollars! It's enough to make one
laugh. Look at all them zinc bindings,

1t certainly appears very strong
and seryiceable," said Mr.. Elton, re-
flectiyely, feeling his chin. " And,
perhaps--although I had limited my
self to eighteen dollars"
You'll never feel the difference, sir"
said Mr.. Jackolin. "Dear me, mon
ey spent for a valuable article is as good
as an investment. Win you have your
name painted on the end, sir? We do
it gratis"
"No, I won't" said My. Elton, rath-
er curtly. 81 don't believe in adver-

A Ten THOUSAND DOLLAR DAUGHTER.
On certain day, on Pennsylvania
railroad, belle of o thriving Pennsyl-
vania town, the daughter of q wealthy
lumber merchant, was travelling in the
same car with q shrewd old citizen of
her native town and ON agreeable gen
tleman from the West, who tells the
story. .ts @ ,.....r. M
The latter had been talking to the
belle, but as the night drew on and the
young lady grew drowsy, he gave up his
seat to her and placed himself beside
the somewhat cynical Pennsylyanian.
The latter began conversation by point
ing to o high mountain. past which
they were whirling, and said:
" You see that mountain? Six or
eight years ago it was covered with %
fine forest as ever grew, and worth
ten thousand dollars and upward. Now,
without tree, covered with stumps.
the land is scarcely worth q continental.
The net produce of that mountain lies
over there in that seat" and he pointed
to the recnmbent belle, "that is nv
calculation. 1t has just absorbed all
OF that lumber, which her father owned.
to raise and educate the girl, pay for
her clothes and jewelry, bring her out
in society and maintain her there.
Some of you young men, If you were
given your choice between the noun
tain yonder, as it now stands, and the
net produce on that seat, would take
the net produce; but as for me, give me
the stumps." )" " 11

A SUICIDAL ScoRpIoN. Tho statement
that scorpion, when driven to bay by
its enemies and unable to escape, will
kill itself by blow from its yenemous
sting has usually been regarded as rather
mythical. A well-attested instance.
however, OF this suicide-insect has been
published by DIR. de Bsllseme. The
writer states that. having captured a
scorpion, he converged the rays of the
sun on it's back by means of a burning
glass. The insect became turiously en-
ragged, and finally raised its sting and
struck itself, dying within half d min
ute afterward. .'s

value OF a dollar have been found by
the soldiers. / am engaged prospect

Creek, and followed me here. They
are Jo%urneying into the Hills from all
directions, and offer me every assist

matter how valuable the mines may
be, the future great wealth OF the
Black Hills will be its grass lands,

districts, until the negotiations now
pending shall be consummated. AS
