Value of POIltcness.

There is nothing which adds so
much to a young mans success in
life, next to honesty Of purpose, as
the practice Of good breeding wher-
ever he goes-on the sidewalk, in
the buggy, as well as in the parlor.
If you meet man who refuses to
give you haffthe road, or turnout on
the sidewalk, you may class him as
a man with no sense Of justice in his
soul. When we speak of polite men
we do not wish to be understood as
referring to one who bows low and
takes off his hat to the ladies and
men of position, but we mean the
man who always carries a smile on
his cOuntenance, and who never
turns his face away from the poor.
We mean the man who has a kind
salutatiOn when he meets you in the
morning, and a pleasant good night
in the evening ; man whose voice
is always void of offense. Such a
man is bound to succeed such man
will find friends. Young man, be
polite.

A few weeks since, a railroad col
llsion on one Of the roads leading
out of New York killed, among
others, passenger living in an in
terror town. His remains were sent
home in good shape, and after the
funeral the attorney Of the road
called upon the widow to effect Il
settlement. She placed her figures
at $4,000.
ooh, that sum is unreasonable"
responded the attorney. "Your
husband was nearly fifty years old ?"
eyes, sir"
"And lame ?"
"Ycs."
"And his general health was
poor? ,"
"Quite poor"
"And he probably would not have
lived over five years ?"
"Probably not, sir"
"Then it seems to me that two or
three thousand dollars would be a
fair compensation"
"TwO or three thousandp ~ she
echoed. "Why, sir, l courted that
man for ten years, run after him for
ten more, and then had to chase him
down with a shot gun to get him be-
fore a preacher. Do you suppose l
am going to settle for the bare cost
Of shoe leather and ammunition ?"
