Etiquette at Home

The ease and negligee of home often
induce carelessneSs as to etiquette, the
impression being that politeness and
polish are only needed in society, and
that carelessness of manner is appropri-
ate to ho,Ae life. All such views are
erroneous. There is positive comfort
in politeness, and etiquetteisas import
ant at home as abroad. We distin-
guish etiquette as the outward expression
of politeneSs. 1t has to do with forms
and attentions. Children in society
are treated with considerate kindness,
which is always considerably expressed.
There are rules of etiquette which re-
late to the many little attentions and
formulas. These in society are careful
ly graded, and often rigidly enforced.
They may be made onerous, and SO OPP
pressive. But etiquette is clearly de-
fined.
We do not advocate an etiquette for
the home so rigid as to be burdensome.
Yet it may be the means of teaching
politenesS to children. Those who
have an instructive politeness easily fall
in with the rules of etiquette. But all
have not this instinct. Some are care
less, rude, selfish, inconsiderate. These
.ssa discipline. To give this, is not
to lecture on the rules of good order or
politenesS. 1t must be instilled more
by example than precept. And where
the parents are careful to observe the
forms of politeness, its importance is
naturally impressed and its rules speed
lily learned. Therefore, all Difference
that would be shown in public society
should mark intercourse at home. And
if husbands and wives are courteous,
children imbide and practice it. Ex-
ample is the great teacher in this line.
Beyond this courtesy exertsa very de-
Cided influence On character. Trained
to the etiquette OF politeneSs gives bal
ance and evenneSS to character. Its
very inception involves self-control
and conscious restraint. 1t is with
most second nature The forms and
rules are acquired and the habits slowly
grated OF. Where this is done, so
much has been accomplished in the
line of self control, that its influence
extends to temper and habits of mind.
Such persons are apt to be self contain
| ed in all emergencies. Agentleman will
be such under all provocations and
amid trials or tests. Hence children
thus educated receive something more
| than polish. 1t is something to grace
f,,l1v eccOrf a ladv to dinner Or tO
maintain an agreeable conversation, or
toshow, ,at all times the air of good breed
ing; but the value of it all is in the
traits of mind that have been impaired.
A clean person will feel clean, and one
accustomed to politeness will naturally
realize the elevation of feeling that at
tends courtesy. So habits formed al
home are important, and the habits of
courtesy ranks among the first.

height. The tomb is surrounded by a
grass plot, which is encircled by a
walk of white shells. Shrubs and flow
ers beautify the spot and make it look
quiet and bright.
TAYLOR.
The remains of Zachary Taylor have
been moved three times. They repose
now in a public spot in Frankfort, KY.
The body was first placed in cemete-
ry at Washington, then in a lot on the
Taylor homestead, five miles back of
Louisville, and then taken to Cave Hill
Cemetry, Louisville. In 1873 the re-
mains were placed in the beautiful Gem
etery at Frankfort, where they are in
company of many illustrious dead.
FILLMORE.
Millard Fillmore lies buried at For
est Lawn Cemetery, three miles from
Buffalo. The grave is well taken care
of, and in a beautiful spot. A tall
monument contains the inscription:
"Millard Fillmore, born Jan. 9TH, 1900.
Died March 9Th, 1874" The grave is
at the eastern extremity of the lot in the
centre of a grassy space. At its head
rises the monument.
PIERCE.
The remains of Franklin Pierce rest
at Concord, N. H., in the old cemetery
on Main Street. 1t is surrounded by a
neat iron fence six feet high traversed
by concrete paths and neatly sodded.
The monument displays spire, with
cap, die and plith resting on base
of granite three and one quarter feet
square.
BUCHANAN.
James Buchanan is buried at Wood
ward Hill Cemetery, Lancaster, on the
banks of the Conestoga. The grave is
enclosed by neat iron fence. The
spot is kept carefully and is always at
tractive. All around the fence is a
hedge of blooming roses.
LINCOLN.
Abraham Lincoln is buried at Oak
Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, Ill. A
fine pile of marble, granite and bronze
marks the spot. 1t bears the single
word @Lincoln." This memorial is
probably one of the most magnificent in
the United States. The building oftht
monument was begun by Mr.. Lincoln:
friendsin Springfield. 1t was dedicated
October 18th, 1874. 1t is a fitting
tribute to the martyred President.
JOHNSON.
The grave of Andrew Johnson is a
Greenville, Tenn, on spot selected
by himself. A fine granite arch on
broad base marks the site. 1t contains
the inscription, "Andrew Johnson
seventeenth President of the U. S. of A
Born December 29th, 1903; died Jul,
31st, 1875. His faith in the peopl
never wavered." The tomb was erect
ed by the Presidents three surviving
sons.

Mrs. Lee turned her face toward her
husband. There was light in it and
a light in her eye, but there was some
thing in her expression of the counte-
nance that little puzzled him.
"Do you think SOP" she asked quite
soberly.
"What question !" CALCULATED An

the side of the. table where she was sit

replied, as he stood before her.

en- answer. elbow strange that you
should ask me such question:"
eff you would only tell me now and
then, Andrew, it would do me good. y
Mrs. Lee arose and leaned her face
against the manly breast of her hus-
band, stood and wept.
What strong light broke in upon
the mind of Andrew Lee; he had never
given his wife even the smallest reward
of praise in all the loving interest she
had manifested daily, until doubt of his
love had entered her soul and made light
of all around her thick darkness No
wonder that her face grew clouded, nor
what he considered moodishness and
ill nature took possession of her heart.
"You are good and true, Mary, my
own dear wife, | am proud of you, |
love you, and my first desire is for
! your happiness. Oh, if l always see
your face in sunshine my home would
be the dearest place on EARTH
elbow precious to me are your words
of love and praise, Andrew" said Mrs.
Lee, smiling through her :ears into his
| face.
"With them in my earmy heart can
never lie in shadow"
How easy had been the work for An
drew Lee. He had swept his hand
across the cloudy horizon, and now the
bright sunshine was streaming and
flooding the home with joy and beauty.

OFF Clothing.

What becomes of the cast-off inery
of wealthy women? Some have poor
relations who gladly appropriate it;
others give it to their servants; others,
again, send supplies to charitable institu
tions But these instances of gener
osity are rare, for the modern woman
has not so much money as to find more
repugnant. A secondhand clothierin
serts notice in Sunday paper that he
will pay large cash prices for cast
garments in good repair. Madame
drops postal-card in the morning, and
the following day good-patured Jew
ess calls in buggy and buys everything
she can lay her eyes on. Hats, veils,
plumes, collars, discarded bustles, limp
corsets, soiled ribbons for neck and
belt, shoes and slippers that have stretch
ed too big, stockings and gloves that
are season behind the fashion, petit
coats that need binding, disabled para
soils, fans, night-dresses and under
clothes that have become tireSome, steel
jewellery, buckles of jet, pearl and ivory,
belts, retiCules, portemonnaies, and any
kind or style of dresses that are whole,
together with wraps, shawls, sacks,
cloaks and outdoor garments. The
purchaser, who sees regular bonanza
in the pile, gives her from ten to hun
dred dollars for the lot and asks permis-
sion to come again in six or twelve
months. And now for the disposition
of the gaudy raiments. The shoes are
fine custom-made goods, costing from
nine to thirteen dollars, and as they are
slightly worn out, or out ofstyle, it is
not hard to sell them. The dresses are
cleaned, slightly altered and sold to the
girls who frequent these places for fine y
they find it impossible to get elsewhere.
Kid gloves are mended and cleaned,
feathers and ribbons are similarly treat
ed, and, where it is not possible to
clean light dresses, shawls and trousers,
they are dyed black, and sell like hot
cakes.

Old Jones' Philosophy.

Walter BueU, an Clereland Sentinel.
Soap don't cost as much as asdiamonds,
but lots O. people don't seem to be able
to afford both.
A man that needs forty cents worth
of whiskey to give him an appetite for
a fifteen cent dinner always has the dys
pepsia.
l never feel comfortable when there
is man around who smiles all the
time The only dog that ever bit me
never stopped waggin' his tail.
Wen see fellow siftin' two quarts
of ashes and smokin' ten cent cigar
at wan time, 1 know he'll git rich be-
cause he's so Economical.
You show me man that's allus
workin' in politics an I'll show you
one that gets a darn sight more and
better to eat than his wife and children
do.
l don't often ask riddles, but wot do
you think family is likely to have for
dinner when the old man earns eight
dollars week, spends four for beer,
two for cigars and buys rattle ticket2
There's great deal of talk about
folks killing themselves by overwork.
There's many people struck by lightnin'.
Must such critters work eight hours a
day, an dance, drink or play poker ten
more. Then, wen they break down,
their wives put on the tombstone 'Died
of Overwork.
You can't rely on signs. Lots of
folks say that man with big ears is
generous and stupid. When 1 was a
boy l went to a cirkis, an they had a
little mule no bigger than ten weeks
calf. They asked for boys to ride the
critter, an I sez, he's only mule, an
he's got big ears. He must be stupid
an he won't play me no tricks. Wen
they took me home my father licked me
for bein' fool, an said he would like
to give the mule medal.
Wen l was boy we had a big yaller
dog that hadn't as much sense as a
sheep or as much pluck as chipmunk.
The dog wouldn't have fought a cana
nv bird; we knew it and he knew it,
but he kept up an awful sight of buster
ing an blow just the same as if we did
not all know just what it was worth.
Every day a big black cur as cowardly
as our own used to go by with butchers
cart, an them two dogs would run up
and down on different sides. ofthe fence,
barkin' fit to kill an just as if they'd
tear each other up if it wasn't for the
fence. One day the two got after each
other and it happened that some one
had left the gate open SO all of sud
den they came opposite each other with
nothing between. Well, sir, them two
dogs just looked at each other for
minnit, then they put their tails between
their legs an cut sticks in different direc-
tions, as if the Old Nick was after EN-.
There's piles an piles O. men that's
heap more anxious for a fight wen
there's a fence between 'em, then wen
they're on clear ground.

The Mother Hubbard.

Old Mother Hubbard,
She went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog bone;
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare,
And SO the poor dog had none.
To get him some meat
She went down the street
And hastily entered the town;
She was in such worry
She forgot in her hurry
To take off her fancy bed-gown.
Some ladies were passing,
And instantly CHASING
That gown as the very last fashion,
Determined to don it,
And with a new bonnet
They'd set other ladies' teeth gnashing
So now, though not pretty,
You'll find in each city
No lady of fashion without it
But the babies look cute
In the quaint little suit
I'm sure there will nobody doubt it.

The GirdIe Of Friendship.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

She gathered at her slender waist
The beauteous robe she wore;
Its folds golden belt embraced,
One rose-hued gem it bore.
The girdle shrank its lessening round
Still kept the shining gem,
But now her flowing locks it bound,
A lustrous diadem.
And narrower still the circlet grew;
Behold! glittering band,
Its ruseate diamond set anew,
Her neck's white column spanned.
Suns rise and set; the straining clasp
The shortened links resist,
Yet flashes in bracelets grasp
The diamond on her wrist.
At length, the round of changes past,
The thieving years could bring,
The jewel, glittering to the last,
Still sparkles in ring.
So, link by link, our friendships part,
So loosen, break and fall,
A narrowing zone; the loving heart
Lives changeless through them all.
