The ruin OF mullitudes OF young men
can be directly traced u the terrible evil

acquaintance who was naturally endowed
with the rarest abilities and the finest

JOSEPHS BROTHER.
A STORY EY BRET HAErE

They didn't call him Tom, or JACK, or
Harry, but always spoke of him rs 80

singular that they didn't say "Joe." in
stead Of ''Joseph." when speaking OF or
TO the man.
The two had wagon in tho band.
dragging itself toward the Black Hills
day by day and mile by mile. They
messed by themselves, scarcely spoke eX-
eept to each other. and their lives and
their actions were a sort of mystery to
the rest, who were Jolly set. drinking,
carousing, lighting, playing cards, aud
wishing for brush with the Indians.
Some said that Joseph was fugitive
from Justice, and that he wouldn't ira
ternize with them tor fear OF betraying
himself when interrogated. Oilers
thought he felt too proud TO mix with
such society, and between the two theo-
ries be had nearly all the men thinking
IN of him before tie wagon train was

"He keeps his brother hidden sway in

Good Manners.

Young folks should be mannerly. How
to be so is the questions Many good
girl and boy feel that they can't behave
themselves in the presence of company.
They feel tinid, bashful and self dislrust-
ful the moment they are addressed by a
stranger or appear in company. There
is but one way to get over this feeling.
and acquire easy and graceful manners;
that is, to do the best they can all the
time at home, as well as abroad. Good
manners are not learned by arbitrary
teaching SO much as acquired by habit.
They grow upon us by use. We must
be courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gen.
tlemsnly and womsnly at home. and then
il will become a kind OF second nature TO
be so everywhere. A coarse rough man
ner at home, begets habit Of rough
ness, which we cannot lay of if we try
when we 60 among strangers. The most
agreeable people we have ever known IN
company are those who are perfectly
agreeable at home. Home Il The school

"How Could You 1sH Me ?''

IL is said OF the late Governor Briggs,
OF Massachusetts, that he requested a
lady whom he met at psrty, and who
took him 10 task for declining to drink
wine at the table, to think over the fam
lilies OF her acquaintance, and note the
effects OF intemperanee among them.
Sac accepted the challenge, and in
little time responded with, 80, Governor
Briggs how could you ask me to do such
a thing at party | am appalled,. IL

quite right, and will never ask you to
drink wine, nor even call you ianatical

Now read the above earnest extract
carefully. and then think over in your
mind how many families OF your ac-
q1ainlance have been distressed and
cursed, in some way or other, by strong
drink On what q multitude OF hearts
and homes can testify to-day TO the awful
blight and wIthering curse OF the intoxl-
eating cup. Look at the vast army OF
drunkards in our land marching on to
fearful death and endless ruin. Think OF
it! Tramp. tramp, tramp. p.-on they go

Hints TO writers and speakers

William Cullen Bryant once gave the
following excellent advice to a young
man who offered him an article for the
Ercniag Post:
My young friend, observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your article. think if you will study
the English language that you will find
it capable of expressing al! The ideas that
you may have. l have always found it
50, and in al that have written | do not
recall An instance when | was tempted to
use q foreiln word, but that, on search
ing, | found better one in my own
language.
BE simple. Unaffected; be honest in
your speaking and writing. Never use
long word when d short one will do.
Call spade not well known oblong in
strument of manual industry let home
be home not residence; place, not
a locality; and so of the rest. When
short word will do. you always lose by
using a long one. You lose in clearness,
you lose in honest expression OF your
meaning: and in the estimation OF all
men who are competent TO Judge. you
lose 10 reputation for ability.
The only true way to shine, even in
this false world, is TO be modest and un-
assuming. Falsehood may be a very
thick crust, but in the course OF time
truth will find place TO break through.
Elegance OF language may not be in the
power of all of us, but simplicity and
strai are.
Write much as you would speak /;
speak as you think. Ii with your INFERIOR
speak no cosrser than usual; but If with
your superior, speak no finer. BE what
you say, and within the rules OF prudence.
No one was ever q gamer by singulsrity
of words or in pronunciation. The truly
wise man will so speak that no one will
observe how he speaks. A man may
show great knowledge of chemistry by
carrying about bladders of strange gases
to breathe. but he will enjoy better
health and find more time for business,
who lives on common air.
Sidney Smith once remarked, latter
you have written an article, take your
pen and strike out half the words. and
you will be surprised to see how much
stronger it is"
