CUSTOMS OF CITY TANTIyY COACHMEN

CUSTOMS OF CITY TANTTvY coAoHMEN
A correspondent thus writes of New
York coaching: "The fresh air, the fine
horses, the delightful sense of rapid
motion, the charming scenery, the
slight but interesting incidents of the
journey, splendid appetite which the
substantial lunch at Yonkers abundantly
satisfies, and, sometimes, the good
fellowship of my fellow. travellers, go to
make up what may be most emphatically
pronounced "a good time But as l
pay my So for my seat, or tip the guard
with a trust in God dollar, I cannot
help asking myself what fascination
there is in driving which induces my
friend, the wealthy owner of the equip.
age, to make coachman of himself and
spend laborious days in whipping up
four horses at an expense that would
pay regular driver handsomely.
"There was once mad lord who
drove the Guilford coach in England,
and, if he took fancy to his passen-
gers, would give them tremendous
supper at his own expense, at the end
of his journey. There was some fun in
that. 10 study the characters of his
chance acquaintance and see how they
warmed up over the wine was excellent
amusement for the mad lord. But the
coachmen OF TaLtivy never think of
giving nor accepting suppers, except
from their friends, and as they sit mum.
chance during the journeys and take no
part in the fun which often goes on be-
hind their backs among the passengers,
I am at q loss to know how they get any
enjoyment out of their daily routine.
Having booked and paid for my seat,
I light my cigar, decline to recognize
the person who drives in any other capa-
city than as coachman; tip him and
the guard at the journeys end, and
think that he is rather a snob for taking
my money. His excuse is that the Eng
lish noblemen do the same thing. Ny
excuse is that having paid for my seat
ought not to be called on to pay any
more. Fancy feeling the engineer on a
railway train Sometimes the drivers
attempt to enter into conversation with
me about society matter but 1 will
not permit it. II they choose to mas.

If they want to play at being coachman,
they shall be coachman as far as l an
concerned. / should no more think Of
talking stable in society than would Of
talking society to man who deliberate

man out Of his place and pockets his
wages. II there be any practice NOR:

In all labor there is poetry, if We can
but find it, containing its deepest mean
ing and its truost realities. One me-
chanic sees nothing beyond his tools
and their daily use; another beholds
the civilization and refinement which
his work il daily spreading One mer.
chant measures his business only by
his yearly account of profit and loss;
another sees it in the extension Of COM
rlerce, the employment given to labor,
the triumph of honest principles. One
physician looks at his profession only

and popularity; another beholds suffer.
ing assuaged, disease overcome, sani.
tary habits enforced, healthful living
secured, happiness increased. Ono
woman sees in her house only an arena
for hard work and physical comfort;
another sees exquisite pictures of the
possible happiness, honor, development
and value which may be cherished
within it, and may issue from it to
bless society and strengthen the nation.
T. is only as these higher truths of labor
become wildly pictured in the inlagin-
alton chat labor itself can rise TO its
true position. Its poetry is its best
reality and ennobles all its prose OF
hard work or dry details.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Fortune unmasks men.
1t is the worst wheel that squeaks the
most.
Better three hours too soon than one
minute too late.
Experience is the name men give to
their follies or their sorrows.
Discomfort is the want of self-reli
ance, it is the intirmity of will.
Good breeding shows itself most
where to an ordinary eye it appears the
least.
Stay not until you are told Of OPP
portunities to do good; inquire after
them.
The worst education that teaches self
denial is better than the best that
teaches everything else and not that
Opportunities are very sensitive
things; if you slight them on thei,
first visit you seldom see them again.
Self-respect is the noblest garment
with which man may clothe himself
the most elevating feeling with which
the mind can be inspired.
The law of the harvest is to reap
more than you SOW. Sow an act and
you reap habit; SOW habit and you
reap a character; SOW character and
you reap destiny.

SICILlAN GIRLS,

Young girls in Palermo, Sicily, are
kept close to their mothers sides, and
even two together may not walk in the
streets by themselves. To our way of
thinking, the bonds might be little
relaxed with advantage to all concerned.
1t is surely an unnecessary amount OF
surveillance which demands that n girl
may not stand in balcony three stories
above the street without duenna to
watch over her, or that she may not be
chaperoned by friend, but only by n
RESPONSIBLE relation. She is less rigor-
ously held than was the French girl OF
thirty years ago, but she has nothing
approaching to our Western liberty
And in this, too, Palermitan society is
like English society of two generations
back, before the new era of independ-
ence and unrestricted intercourse had
set in. The men are attentive, but in
what we should call an old-fashioned
way. 1t is attention, courtesy, care, but
not comradeship. Ladies are still
creatures to be kept somewhere in seclu-
sion, somewhat isolated from general
contact, but to be kept we'll and to be
cared for.
If you take a lady home to her hotel
or her apartments you are expected to
90 up with her to the door of her room.
There is no leaving her at the street
door and to the mercy of the porter,
but she must be consigned in safety to
the keeping of her own. Ladies seldom
or never walk in the streets, save on the
sacred silent days at Easter, when no
wheeled vehicle is allowed in Palermo
The very poorest of the gentry have
their carriage, which, indeed, is ne
cessity in this climate; and when they
shop, the man comes to the carriage
door with his wares the lady does not
descend. Mail Gazette.

Luminous photographs are attracting
much attention in Europe. When they
are examined by daylight they look like
ordinary photographs; but in the dark
they are beautifully phosphoresccnt, the
deep shadows being black and the light
er portions glowing rs with hidden fire
The general effect is lovely, and so
popular are the productions that the
invention is being rapidly developed.
