The Decline of Good Manners.

The Countless de Bassanville, who is responsible for the Almandch du saUoir UiVfe, admits the decline of good man. ners in France, for which she thinks Anglomania is to blame to a great ex- tent, and does her best to remedy the evil by laying down a code of etiquette and behavior of the most comprehen- sive description, embracing rules for the various incidents of social life from the correct way of raising mans hat down to the usage to be followed in christening ship or unfolding table napkin. According to this lady, who piques herself on being one of the old school, and therefore an incontestable authority, the ladies are as muck to blame, if not more so, than the men. How is it, she asks, that now that la dies have ceased to be as ignorant as blow boys, now that they are we'll read in astronomy, travels and poetry, and can talk glibly on the evolution theory or the latest change in the ministry how is it that men avoid the society of ladies and spend their time the at clubs or in still worse company This is 8 question in which our own country women are equally interested, and which our monitress and guide above mentioned answers by charging the ladies with a want of common polite ness toward the male sex. How few ladies, nowadays, are we'll bred enough to respond by slight inclination of head to the politeness of man who makes way for them, whether in the street or on crowded staircase! How often do they exercise Christian chari- ty when 8 cavalier, in spite of all care and diligence, happens to have the
 misfortune to tread on their volumin- ous trainsq The reward he gets for his apologies and pleas for pardon is too often only black look, if not less gentle and more audible rebuke. This being the case, it is high time to start on crusade for the restoration of good manners and amiability, and the best and most elementary advice that can tbe given to both sexes, for perhap both are equally defaulters, is not to be too sparing with what has been called he small change of courtesy, whichs costs so little and goes so far.- London Globe r--.-. -..f , ..,

Word for the old Folks.

"Old age in this country is certainly Q very ,unlovely thing" was the remark /; the speaker implying by the epithet 'sunlovely" that absence of deference to years which characterizes the Amer jeans as contrasted with respect and tender care for the aged which is the practice in most foreign countries. Unfortunately there is too much truth in the allegation, for who cannot recall instances of neglect and disrespectful mention of the, 'sold man" in almost every grade of society? As the chill dren developing into men and women, the family hearthstone, which ought to be the topical point around which the rays of domestic affection should concentrate and warm what is good within us, is too often deserted for pur- suits which the habit of the times has made congenial. It is @ melancholy outlook to the reflective person in the region of his prime to dread the ap- proach of days which take from life so much that is attractive and leaves nought in it's stead. He looks around among his friends and tries to under stand what the writer meant to convey when he spoke of a ''green old age. D In European Countries, notably France and Germany, we can gather much profit, and among other things the ten- der grace to make glad the old heart to compensate for waning powers and capacity for enjoyment. There the old grayheaded father is the patriarch, is consulted on all important affairs, his advice is sought and followed, and def erence paid to all his wishes. How common it is among Germans to see the entire family with the venerated head and his aged spouse enjoying with equal zest those outdoor amuse- ments of which this sometimes slug gish nation is SO fond. Nor need we be ashamed to follow the example of the Chinaman in this respect, although we scorn to admit him on the same scale of civilization as ourselves. While we may have no predilection for his sacred pig-tail, nor justify him in his indifference for female children, yet in the practice of some of the domestic virtues he is our peer. An oriental father while he lives never loses con- trol of his "boys" be they ever so old, and in that benighted country one never hears of the ''old man" having to give way in business or in the coun- cils to the rising generation. It is com mon to cover up our shortcomings in the general assertion that this country is too young to pay much attention to the cultivation of the arts, that the rush of business excludes everything which does not contribute to the az gregation of this worlds goods, and after that comes the refnements oi older nations. Let us hope, however, that word for the aged dropped now and then may take root in the hearts oi our people, and instead of finding nothing but the "unlovely" in the old, we might soothe with the kind word help with the strong hand and send them on their way rejoicing, feeling within us the benediction winch tho poet voiced:
 -''blessing on your frosty pow,
 John Anderson, my Jo."
