MaIlnor.

Rules of etiquette can be laid down to form
good mannars; but good manner is an unde
Unable grace. With some it is wholly spon
taneous, with others it is partly spontaneous
and partly acquired. 1t bears the impress of
cultivation and refinement in the highest de-
gree; but beneath these is the substratum of a
kindly nature, without which the most polished
manner fails of its effect, and is chilling rather
than genial, provoking distrust in place of con-
hdence. There are many shades OF manner,
and there are many who come near to having
a really good manner, but who fall short in
some one particular. They are too volube
perhaps; and those who talk too fast or too
much approach dangerously near to the gush-
ing school, and are led into saying very much
more than they had intended, or than was dis
Greet; wishing to be very. empresse and very
pleasing, they overact their part, and their
measure is very accurately taken by their
friends. Feasibility of speech being on the
alert to say something complimentary in and
out Of season does duty with some few, but
does not pass with the many as one of the
points of good manner. 1t is merely
species Of fattery and nothing more, and is
always taken at its true value.
There is a certain society manner cultivated
by many people, and which is supposed by
them to be charming and taking. 1t is a very
good counterfeit for the genuine article, but
no one is deceived into taking it for such

MAD RIVER.
From the Atlantic Monthly.l
Traveller.
Why dost thou wildly rush and roar,
Mad River, O Mad River?
Wilt thou not pause and cease TO pour,
Thy hurrying, headlong waters DER
This rocky shelf forever?
What secret trouble stirs thy breast?
Why all this fret and fury?
Dost thou not know that what is best
In this too restless world is rest
From over-work and worry?
THE RIVER.
What woulds't thou in these mountains
seek,
O stranger from the city?
Is it perpaps some foolish freak
Of thine, to put the words speak
Into plaintive ditty?
Yes; | would learn of thee thy song,
With all its flowing numbers.
And in voice as fresh and strong
As thine is, sing it all day long,
And hear it in my slumbers.
THE RIVER.
A brooklet nameless and unknown
Was at first, resembling
A little child, that all alone
Comes venturing down the stairs Of stone,
Irresolute and trembling.
Later, by maynard fancieS led,
For the wide world | painted;
Out of the forest dark and dread
Across the open fields fled,
Like one persued and haunted
tossed my arms, sang aloud,
My voice exultant blending
With thunder from the passing cloud,
The wind, the forest bent and bowed,
The rush of rain defending.
hear the distant ocean call,
Imploring and cntreating;
Drawn onward, DER this rocky wall
Iplunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer to the greeting.
And now, beset with many Ills,
A tulSome life follow;
Compelled to carry from the hills
These logs to the impatient mills
Below there in the hollow.
Yet something ever cheers and charms
The rudeness of my labors;
Daily water with these arms
The cattle ola hundred farms,
And have the birds for neighbors.
Men call me Mad, and well they may,
When; full of rage and trouble,
burst my banks of sand and clay,
And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like withered reeds or stubble.
Now 60 and write thy little rhyme,
As of thine own creating.
Thou seest the day is past its prime;
can no longer waste my time;
The mills are tired Of waiting.
