BE COURTEOUS.

There are a thousand little courte-
sizes and salutations and compliments
of life, but it would be well it there
were still more of them. Bluntness
does not mean honesty, and Il recog-
milton of whatever is good in men does
not mean .insincerity. 1t would be
prOmotive of happiness if every time
men descend in the morning they
would look for that which is comely
and praiseworthy, and single it out to
their wives. Oh, if men would only
court after they are married as they
do before, what joy there would be!
What praise there would be distribu-
ted in the community! But the faults
of men are generally first thought of,
and condemned. There are Il multi
tude of little imperfect, irregular
things in human conduct and a man
says, 81 am not one of those who 90
around to iatter folks | tell them what
l think of them; if they have faults l
hint them strong But it is not ne
cessary to be hard and repellant and
unsympathetic in order to he honest.
There is good rs wen as evil in men,
and it is surely as worthy of its rccog-
misunderstanding.

A Christian worker in Chicago did
a very mean, dirty trick in aid of his
cause the other day, ut least it would
have been regarded as a dirty trick if
it had not been Christian work. 1t
was a confidence game to disseminate
the glad tidings of salvation, and was
played in this fashion: A man was
distributing bills of fare for a cheap
restaurant, and laid down his bundle
for a moment to tie his shoe. The
Christian worker came along when the
restaurant runners back was turned,
and substituted a package of tracts
for the bills of fare. The man went
on with his work, and distributed
t:acts headed, " Why Are You Not a
Christian?' r. for his bills of fare. 1t
was a frand on the re~stauranter who
hired the man to cry s'lamb and green
peas-the whole business for twenty
five cents" Referring to the tract,
1t appeared that this dish was to be
had ut the tabernacle. The Christian
confidence game threw the poor fell
low out Of q job.

BLOODY KNIFE COMBAT.

story ola CHASTITY knife-fight comes
from Sandusky, Ohio. The mate of a
schooner that was unloading, swung
himself Tito Il hammock in the cabin
n went to sleep. He left u small
lamp burning on the table. lie was
awakened by Il sharp pain in his side,
and saw a man stading at his ham
mock side with a bloody knife. In
stantly feeling that he had been stab
bed, he sprang up and grasped a
curved Chinese knife, with a blade
ten inches long, and poisoned at the
point. Then he discovered that there
were two foes with knives in the cab
in. In getting ready for a bloody
combat the table was kicked out OF
the way, and the lamp upset and ex-
tlnguished. The battle with knifts
commenced and continued in total
darkness, but this gave the mate an
immense advantage ove his two adj
~versaries, and it made two ADVERSE
ries better for him than only one.
They were afraid OF cutting each other
and, therefore, careful, puzzled and
uncertain. He knew that both were
enemies and, therefore, cut and slash
ed away with perfect abandon. Sc
veral times he drove his knive into
n or the other of them up to the
hilt, and several times he felt their
furious stabs. At lenght he seized an
opportunity and slipped out of the
cabin and left them fighting each
other for Il time, he can't tell how
long, for he went on deck and fell
from exhaustion and loss of blood.
Not a wold was spoken during the
combat IN the cabin. In the morning
when the captain came on board he
found the mate insensible in a pool 81
gore aud saw the crimson tracks OF
the two men who had managed to drag
themselves over the side of the ves-
sci and crawl away somewhere out OF
sight. The cabin was in Il terrible
condition of bloOd-stained and wreck
ed furniture, showing how terrific had
been the midnight combat. The mate,
who is a powerful young Englishman
WAS taken FARO of and revived sufii.
cient to tell the story. He thinks il
was an act of vengeance. Some years
ago he was mate of q vessel trading
between Baltimore and Liverpool. On
