The Rev. Henry Ward Peecher, in
his lecture on "Tha wastes and burdens of

years, and as the Average life is but SO years,
there must be waste of AZ years." There
is much of truth in this statement. II q
man be unfortunate in business, it is at
tributed to the violation of some commercial
law. Now, if person be taken of in the
prime of life, oughtit not to be attributed to
the violation of some physiological law? If
people only knew better, they would live
better and longer; but how can they profit
by that which they know not Of? The only

The sofa which has reached England
from Italy, and which was believed to
have belonged to Shelley, is now conclu-
sively shown to be the one he used in
Pisa. Al his death it went to Mrs.
Shelley who, on leaving Pisa, gave it to
Leigh Hunt. When Hunt left Pisa he
gave it to MI. Charles Brown, and Mr..
Brown, when he returned to England,
sold it to Baron Kirkup, the painter.
" Landor," says Kirkup, "always laugh
ed at me for paying the value of Brown s
appra User, who had percentage on the
price and therefore raised it accordinglv."
1t is known that Shelley slept on this
sofa the last nights that he remained in
Pisa before his fatal VOYAGE.

onions, strain, and when cold wash

clean saucepan; sweeten and flavor it
with some orange flower water, or any
other essence. Beat up the whites of
eggs until they are quite firm and crisp,
like snow. Put tablespoonful at
time into the boiling milk, turning
them after few seconds. Arrange
in a pyramid in deep dish. Let the
milk get cool, and then make custard
with the yolks, and pour around. The
whites should be beaten in cold place.

piece of rump steak about three-quar-

and beat it with the cutlet-bat, sprinkle
it with pepper, dip it in oil, and broil it
over clean fire. Turn it after it has
been on the fire minute or two, and
keep turning it till done; eight or ten
minutes will do it. Sprinkle it with
salt, and serve with small quantity Of
finely minced parsley and a piece of but

Courtesy in Business.

As We paid our four cents for pa
per in the Office of one Of our large
dailies, the other morning, a pleasant
" Thank you," from the clerk greeted
us. We have thought much about it
since. We should not have considered
it discourteous if our money had been
taken mechanically; four cents is a very
small sum. But it was much pleasanter
as it was; and the little incident set US
to thinking on the subject we have put
at tho head of this article.
Would it not be much better ali round
if there were more Of courtesy intro
duced into our business dealings? We
go into some shops and offices where
there seems to be. the most utter indif-
ference whetheryour wants are supplied
or not. We sometimes meet officials on
railways and steamboats, who are almost
brutal in their manner, as if a gold band
round the cap gave them the right to be
overbearing and insolent. And then
again, we find others quite the reverse,
ready to answer civil questions civily
and to promote the comfort of those
who are temporarily under their care.
1t is needless to say that little courtesy
goes great way in making things smooth
and agreeable.
This lesson of courtesy is one, it seems
to us, that young persons entering in
any capacity upon business life ought
to learn. There need be nothing fawn-
ing or simpering about it. >, 1t is best
when thoroughly manly or Womanly.
But it certainly is most easily acquired
in youth, and it will stand its possessor
in good stead in all after years. The
courteous clerk will rightly be the favor.
ite clerk. We know. that the homely
old proverb is in one sense true, that
" fine words butter no parsnips," words
do not take the place of things or &C.
tions. But it is also true, as the Scrip.

away wrath" This politeness in man.
