Be COURTEOUS are thousand
little courtesies and salutations and compli.
ments of life, but it would be we'll if there
were more of them. Bluntness does not mean
honesty, and recognition of whatever is
good to men does not mean insincerity. It
would be promotive of happiness if every
time men descended in the morning, they
would look for that which is comely and
praiseworthy, and single it out, and tell it to
their wives. Oh. if men would only court af.
ter they are married as they do before, what
Joy there would be! What praise there would
be distributed among the community! But
the faults of men are generally first thought
of, and are condemned. There are a multi.
tude of little, imperfect, irregular things in
human conduct; and man says: II am not
one of those who 90 around and Aatter folks
I tell them what think of them; if they
have faults hit them strong" But it is not
necessary to be hard and repellant and un.
sympathetic in order to be honest. There is
good as we'll as evil in men, and it is surely as
worthy of gnition.- Christian Union.
s@- It is beyond question that the chief and
all comprehensive method of disseminating
Christian truth in the world is the method of
actual exhibition and practical demonstration
in the lives of men. All other methods are
only auxiliary to this, and depend upon this
for their success. Even the apostle labored in
vain, except as the churches he planted we're
faithful in "holding forth the word of life !"
and on such faithfllness be depended for no
small part of bis rejoicing in the day of
Christ" In that day, if not before, the fact
will be fully recognized that you and all 9th
ers have lived in this world charged by the
eternal Word with the work and responsible.

THE DoCToR's CARD-A San Francisco
corn doctor was summoned by man who
lived four miles out of the city. Hastily
gathering up his case of instruments, files and
acids, he walked through the pouring rain to
the address indicated, and was shown into the
parlor. The physician sent up his card, and
shortly after the door opened, aud fiorid
man, with unsteady legs, entered the apart
ment
"How do, Doc? Take seat. Didn't
think you'd come out in this rain, but you're
regular brick, and I knew it when I read
your card. wish you'd come and live out
here. The whole neighborhood are set of
darned teetotalers."
The practitioner opened his case of instru-
ments, and asked his patient to put up his foot
on a chair. The man assented, remarking
that he never felt more comfortable in his
life He resented, however, all efforts OF the
doctor to pull off his socks, and threatened to
shoot him for attempting to haul his boots
off.
"How can I treat you until I see your
corns ?" cried the chiropodist.
"Corns be blowedP' answered the dweller
in the suburbs. 81 amt got no corns. Don't
your card say, Gentlemen treated at their
own residences?' and I sent for you because
I am out of liquor, and want some brandy
pretty darned quick!"
There was cry of anguish as the doctor
took his largest file and rubbed all the skin
off his patients nose.
