POlitenesS.

Nothing adds more to the happiness
of home life than true politeness shone
at all times among the different members
of the family toward each other.
It is singular fact that most people
treat those they love best with the least
respect; and this is probably the great
cause of inharmony in many homes.
Husbands, do you not remember in
your courting days how particular you
were in your action, conversation and
personal appearance?
And wives, have you forgotten how
you always took care to appear to the
best advantage when your lover was
present?
All! surely many of you, husbands and
wives, have forgotten one thing, and that
is, to cultivate politeness in your homes;
and consequently your children SEEM
ingly have no respect for father, mother,
sister nor brother.
Some may argue that an adherence to
the rules of politeness brings about too
much forma1ity in the home circle. Bet
ter little formal1ty that too much
familiarity in expression or action.
Should son treat another lady with
more marked respect than his mother +?
Should daughter treat another's father
with more veneration than her own?
Is there place in the universe where
the gem Of loving hearts should shine
more brightly than in the home?
Then cultivate politeness; it is that
which will keep inharmony from your
door and bind the household together in
the dissoluble bonds of love.
