BEING Neighborly at the Table
New York Times.

The dinner has always been the
chief meal of the day-most elaborate,
most subs .antial, most ceremonious.
The one best excuse for the late hours
of fashion is that, business being over,
and the days perplexities and labors
shut away behind in the grim down
town office, the husband and brothers
of the family can deliver themselves
freely to the comforts and pleasures of
the household festival, making it
social reunion of no little Importance.
Where this is really done it is warrant
enough, in cities at least, with all the
complicated claims of modern life, for
the dinner hour is apt to be the only
time at which the whole family as
sembles. and, but for that, its mem>
bers might grow up as distant ac>
qusintancss. Any concession OF nat
ural order is better than that, and the
one thing that should be invariably
insisted upon is absolute promptness
and regularity at this meal. In truth,
it is a great mistake not to have this
discipline at all meals; and children
should be taught that they can show
no greater and no more selfish dis
courtesy than in either keeping others
waiting to sit down, or if this cere-
moniousness is excluded, in breaking
the harmony and propriety that good
manners demand, by being late at
table. Respectful, considerate mans
ners are almost out of vogue, and the
children of to-day ride rough-shod
over the proprieties in a manner to
make their great grandparents believe
that there Is no saving grace left in
the world, if their Mortified shades
ever revisit their accustomed earthly
walks, The old-time stiffness and
formahty OF manner may have had its
absurdities, but there is no sweeter
charm in life than the habit of consids
crate regard for the common comfort
and regularity of home-the thought
full difference to others, the affections
ate dependence upon one another. If
this spirit is cultivated, the family
unity, with all its tender and helpful
relations. is assured, and the home
becomes the real center and influence
of the life. There is no better or surer
test of this than the manners at the
table. And, therefore, it is q great
loss to the best training and camera
derie when its arrangements are so
formed as to leave altogether to the
waitress the duty of attending to the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1885-09-11
SAN UNKNOWN MAN, RESPECT
ABLY DRESSED.o


BY THE LATE HELEN HUNT JACKSON Oh. H.'0
unknown man, respectfully dressed
That was all the record said;
Wondering pity might guess the rest;
One thing was sure the man was oead'
And dead. because he'd no heart to live;
His courage had faltered and failed the test;
How little the all we now can give,
nameless sod to cover his breast!
"Respectably dressed the thoughtless read
The sentence over, and idly say,
s'What was It then, since it was not need
Which made him thus fling his life away"
Who never have been for money pressed,
What it costs respectable poor to go,
Day after day, respectfully dressed"
The beggars on sidewalks suffer less;
They herd all together, clan and clan;
Alike and equal in wretchedness,
No room for pride between man and man.
Nothing 10 lose by rags, or by dirt,
More often something is gained instead;
Nothing To fear but bodily hurt,
Nothing to hope for save daily bread.
But respectable poor have all to lose;
For the world 20 know, means LOGS and shame;
They'd rather die, If they had 10 choose;
They cling as for life to place and name
Cling and pretend, and conceal, and hide;
Never an hour but its terror bears;
Terror which sinks like guilt to one side,
And often guiltier ceuntenance wears.
tsRespectahIy dressed" to the last ay, last,
Last dollar last crust, last proud pulse beat;
Starved body, starved SOUL hope dead and past;
What wonder that any death looks sweet.
Gan unknown man, respectfully dressed"
That was all that the record said,
When will the question let us rest,
Is it fault Of ours, that the man was dead:
Independent.
