Courtesy at Home.

Courtesy is that delicate attention
to tho feelings of others that leads
US to avoid any act or deed that can
cause them pain or inconvenience
to give to others tho kindly care
that will add in every way TO their
ann fort an = ha----
around Us in state OF pieasantteel-
ing. Where can It's influence be
more grateful and more lasting than
at homo Who can SO well appre-
ciato the pleasures of courtesy as
those with whom we are In daily
intercourse Consider the charm
that would BIO diffused in our homes
if every member made 1t rule to
observe all the kindly oourtesics of
life, making the Same effort to be
agreeable to each other as they
would feel bound to make in a 80
clal circle of friends or acquaintan-
ces. Many young persons who are
the very pink of politeness in COM
pany, at home, are potulanb rude
and tyrannical, keeping the atmos-
phere that should be serene, cloud
ed and dull carrying the face that
beams with smiles outside, gloomy
or Indifferent inside giving abroad
smiles OF courtesy and carrying
gloom and rudeness home TO greet
those who are dearest to them. Ma
ny parents who are the life OF every
company which they enter are dull
and undressing at homo among
their children.
Talents or accomplishments that
will charm circle Of friends will
surely mako homo happier If dis
played there.
The young man who will carry
costly boquot to a more acquaintance
and allow his sister to move heavy
piece OF furniture unalded, is not q
true gentleman # his manners
abroad are the most polished in the
world. 1t is the true, Unborn polite
ness OF the heart that will make him
carry to his mother the book she
has expressed desire TO read in
vite his sister to pleasant walk or
drive, play for an hour with the lit
tie ones, assist his younger brother
with difficult lesson, and refrain
from any rudeness, sarcasm or vul-
garity that can wound or annoy
others. Happy Is the homo whore
seIashness is not allowed TO enter
and whore gentle, iorbearing oourte-
sy is the rule OF all, whore the hap
piness of all IS the consideration
each one. There the father enters
p. to find his coming expected with
!, loving welcome, to give his praise
b. for moritorious acts or words, and
D rocoivo tho respectful affection OF
:. his children. There the mother
}. rests from weary work in the active
O willingness OF her children to share
her burdens. There sisters and
s brothers unite in loving emulation
}. to win the smile Of their parents, to
mako each other happy by loving
words and tho thoughtful acts.

Take the story of Niobe. What
commentary on aproud and boast
iul spirit And the story will show
that 1t would be very easy thing
for the ignorant to use this illustra
tioa IN an awkward and meaning,

NiObe was the Queen of Thebes,
She had much to be proud of not
only of her husband, Amphion, of
great fame-her own beauty, noblli-
ty OF her descent and greatness OF
her kingdom-but also she was the
happiest of mothers. Gallant sons
and fair daughters did her honor.
In an evil moment she boasted
of her greatness and her good for
tune. Her heart was lifted up she
declared herself too good for For
tune to subdue she might lose some
of her children, but she could not
lose all she was too high for the
gods to bring her down.
Scarcely had she made her boast
when Diana flew down to the earth,
her bow in hand, her quiYer filled
with arrows.
One by one her brave sons were
transfxed by the unerring huntress.
Struck with astonishment, and
filled with an agony she could not
express, she knelt over her lifelcss
sons, and lifting her palid face to
heaven, exclaimed /:
"Where now is your triumph ?
am richer still than your
Her grief had made her braYe and
mad. t.. - ...-
The sisters, her daughters, stood
around the bers of their dead
brothers, in black -robed garments.
One of these now fell, struck by an
arrow, and fell upon the corpse of
the brother she was bewailing. An
other, trying to console her moth
or, suddenly ceased to speak, and
died. And thus all, till her seyen
sons and seven daughters lay dead
around her: and last of all, her hus-
band fell dead upon the eorpses Of
bis children

vas or told in marble, is full of IN
struction. 1t fascinates the behold

us in prosperity, teaching very eff

happiness can ever be secure from
the shadows of adversely!
The ancient statute which embod-
les this story Is regarded as taking
rank with the LAGOON. 1t Is repro.

l went INTO the stting-room of a
country boarding.houso one day,
and on the door leading to room
within | saw a little slip bearing the
words "No admlttance," and | said
to myself: "a good idea, The
house mother here keeps the inner.
most Of homo sacred from strung.
ers. And she does right"
1t occurred to me at the same mo-
mont that there was a little sermon
In that small slip-a guide to young
housekeepers-and that if at loast
an understood ono admittance"
were placed on certain rooms in
many homes, their owners would be
happier.
Heaven forbid that any one should
refuse to shelter the homeless, or
feed the hungry, and certain de.
gree of kindly clvllity is due to ev-
cry decent neighbor; but 1 have al.
ways agreed with an old lady who
once made in my hearing tho re-
mark; "Company belongs in the
parlor, I keep it there. Ii doesn't
pay not to-"
Indeed it does not. In every
ncighborhood are men and women,
young ard old, who hover about the
dnnra Of well kent homes roads -,
enter in and be found there, morn
ing, noon and night, not for love of
their hosts, but because their lives
are empty of employment, and "vls
iting" passes the time, or because
a free hotel is an economical stop
ping place.
They are not your friends, but
simply tramps of gonteel sort in
good clothes. 1t is not a matter Of
charity to feed them it is not Il
pleasure; but, if you are not care
full, they come.
If from the first you do not invite
them "into your parlor," and show
them plainly that there is no admit
lance to your family sitting-room,
your bedrooms or your kitchen,
you will never be safe again.
1t IS no breach of hospitality to
decline the close acquaintance OF
uncongenlal people. 1t is a social
duty which you owe to your family
to haye place apart which you
never ask any but dear friends to
enter; to have time and place for
home duties and pleasures.
When a family live IN a little cot

AUNT CLARA MORRIS.
Sketch Of the Bright, Kindly Little
Woman who Keeps the Knick-
Knnck Stand at the CapitOl.

Every man, woman and child that has WIS.,
tied the Capitol building of the Nation has
seen the little aged and frisky, but polite and
good-humored, Aunt Clara Morris, who keeps
notion stand on the right OF the passage
leading from the Senate to the House on the
House side. She keeps a THOUSAND AMI one
articles for sale, and no persons permitted to
pass her stand without her attracting their
attention to her many curiosites. She has
the wall back of her stand decorated with the
photographs of our statesmen past and pres
ent. She commenced business at the stand
she now has just twenty years ago. Senators
and Representatives raised a purse to start
her in business at the time, which has placed
her beyond poverty's door for all future time.
She has by industry and close attention to
business been able to build a block of four
houses, has bonds on deposit and is educating
her two sons in her native country, France.
She is always at the Capitol, whether Congress
is in session or not A better friend or a
kinder hearted soul than Aunt Clara cannot be
found as long as things go her way. Although
60 years old she moves about the Capitol
with as much alacrity as a girl OF 16, and
promises to be with us thirty years longer.

Summer LOngings.
All, my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting for the May
Waiting for the pleasant rambles,
Where the fragrant hawthorn bramble5
With the woodbine alternating,
Scent the dewy way.
All, my heart is weary waiting
Waiting for the May.
All, my heart is sick with longing,
Longing for the May
Longing To escape from study,
To the young face fair and ruddy,
And III the en- thousand charms belonging
All, my heart is sick with longing,
Longing for the May.
An, my heart is sore with signing,
Sigh.l for the May
Signing for their sure returning,
When the summer beams are burning,
Hopes and flowers that, dead or dying,
All the winter lay.
All, my heart is sore with sighing,
Signing for the May.
All, my heart is pained with throbblng,
Throbbing for the May
Throbbing for the seaside billows,
Or the water wOOing Willows,
Whore, IN laughing and in sobbing,
Glides the stream away.
All, my heart my heart is thrObbing,
Throbbing for the May.
Waiting, sad, detected, woary-
Waiting for the May;
Spring goes by with wasted warnings
Mooniif evenings, sunbright mornings
Summer comes, yet dark and dreary
Life still Gibbs away;
Man Is ever, ever weary,
Waiting for the May

The statement recently published that
nearly 500 manuscripts arc received ey-
cry month by The Century Magazine and
lis junior colleague, St. Nicholas, empha-
sizes what every editor has had occasion
10 know, that there is no lack Of aptitude
and activity in the United States Bu'
outside q small circle Of trained writers,
the literary product has proven that the
mass of literary aspiranis have an ahuR-
dance of crude ability, which shows itself
in freshness Of thought and idea, yet have
not adequate power of literary expression.
However, an encouraging 81 ign of improve
ment. in the latter particular, is reported
from The Century Office, where it is said
that The manuscripts offered by unknown
writer's during the past six months show
a marked advance in literary merit. The
editor of The Century recently had nov

wrote to withdraw an article before il
had been accepted, stating as the motive,
that on reading the last number OF the

siIls TOR Harmony.

The voice of the Courier is still for hAr-
mony between democrats.
The division between democrats in this
District is without proper foundation,
and therefore no substantial reasons ex
ist why the two elements should not be
harmOnized. OnIy the ambition and stub
bOrn-mindedness of aspirants and their
influences perpetuate the division.
This article is written before the cleo
tion, and before it is known which cam
didate is elected And before knowing
the result, We beg that there may be no
rejoicing on the part of the victorious
wing over the democrats who have voted
on the defeated side. The bu * and body
of either wing are at heart true and sin
cere democrats. This family quarrel has
been precipitated upon the party, and
democrats honestly differ. All the crow
ing. shouting, Dragging, bonfres and can =
non shooting of democrats over democrats
is out of order, and can only tend to
widen and perpetuate The breach We
beg all sincere democrats, no matter for
hHOul y Ou hahC hbAIbs ~ NbAAH "a AHA9s
There are some to be sure, who sre act
ing and voting as democrats who IN fact
are not democrats, and this el lement want
the division to be perpetuated. They are
generally known however by democrats,
and their action weighed
The Courier has contended for years,
and still contends that the sure way 10
harmonic the party was to organi &c
through a primary election, and let the
primaries be on the regular election day
in August. We commence now, and shall
so continue until the next Congressional
ssion, to urge this view on the party,
