POliteness.

There are two points of politeness in
which a great many people are deficient
One is hardness in fulfilling social en-
gagements. An invited guest to dinner
or supper, who, the hour having arrived,
fails to be on time, is to all intents and
purposes wanting in one of the plainest
requirements of common politeness, I'M
less his hardness is unavoidable Anoth-
err phase of impoliteness is that which
manifests itself in the theatre, the opera,
or the lecture, where, for sometimes
half an hour after the exercises have
commenced, late corners are constantly
annoying those who, mindful of the com
fort of others, are in their seats at the
time announced for the play, opera or
lecture to begin. 1t may be deemed un-
fashionable by those tardy ones to come
in with the common herd" or it may
be constitutional with others never to be
ready when they should, but in neither
case can justification be found. If among
our many readers there are intended
especially for them, we beg to assure
them that they are mistaken. The impo-
likeness referred to is too general to
admit of individual application. They
are intended for all who are guilty of
breaches of social or public etiquette of
which we have written.

The Annual Chestnut.


Now the maiden is beaming with happi-
ness,
As she searches for autumn leaves to
Press,
With her beau in the maple grove,
But the season no joy to her papa brings;
At home he's anathemizing things,
And joints and elbows around he filings
As he sets up the parlor stove.
The toll has given him crick in the
back,
His knuckles are barked and his face is
black.
And he thinks its time to quit,
For he find it difficult job to do
He has tried each section and elbow, too,
In every way he's mad clean through,
For he can't get the pieces to fit
His face overspread with a gloomy
frown.
Thoroughly disguised he sits him down
His miserable fate to deplore,
But his wife in the coal cellar rummag-
ing,
A section of stove pipe to light doth
bring,
IT'S tried and is found to be just the
thing
And his weary labor is DER.

The Tale of Ten travellers.

Ten weary, footsore travellers,
All in woeful plight,
Sought shelter at wayside inn
One dark and stormy night.
"Nine beds-no more" the landlord said,
'IIave to offer you
To each of eight single room,
But the ninth must serve for two"
A din arose. The troubled host
Could only scratch his head
For of these tired men no two
Could occupy one bed.
The puzzled host was soon at ease
He was clever man
And so to please his guests devised
The most ingenious plan

In room marked A two men were placed
The third he lodged in B ;
The fourth to C was then assigned
The fifth retired to D;

In F the seventh
The eighth and ninth in q and H
And then to A he ran,
Wherein the host, as l have said,
Had laid two travellers by,
Then taking one the tenth and last,
He lodged him safeIin 1.
Nine single rooms-a room for each
Were made to serve for ten,
And this it is that puzzles me
And many wiser men.

FOR THE CHILDREN N,
True ChiVaIry.

The following lines, headed, "a Sol
diers Story" are taken from volume of
poetry by the Rev c. D. Bell, D. d., of |
the Church of England. The story de-
scribes how a body of English soldiery, |
which had been forced to retreat before
overwhelming numbers, discovered that /
the wife Of wounded comrade had been
left behind. Her pleading cry for help
was heard by them and Immediately
the word of command was given, Halt
Halt !" As they hear the stern command
Silently turn our men, and stand.
"What man will 90 on foot or horse,
And save a life from death, or worse ~
Our Captain sprang from out the rank,
Stuck spurs to his horses flank
The snorting steed, in mettled mi ght
Started, and dashed right down the
height,
We saw them in the currents tide,
Cleaving the waves to the other side.
Rife and rifle sent forth its ball,
Bullets like rainprops round them fall.
And the waters hiss, and flash, and steam
Under the shot that rutiles the stream.
Our Captain, caring not, rode on,
Till at length the other side was won.
He reached the shore without a wound
And climbed the bank near the French
mans ground,
Then pricked his horse, and gained the
Mace
Where the woman stood with awe-struck
face
And terror in her strainng eye,
Lest he had only come to die.
He bent an instant STOPPING low,
He swung her up to his saddle-bow
He turned in haste his horses head,
And plunged again in the rivers bed.
Our hearts beat fast as we saw him come
We hardly breathed, stood still, anc
dumb
But he rode not now a ride of death,
There was no need to hold our breath !!
The French had dropped their musket
No bullets whiz, no ring of ball,
Came whirrng on our Captains ear
No cause lie had for care Or fear;
For the cheer from the British lines tha
rose
Was echoed back by our gallant foes,
Whose hearts were stirred by that BRAY
deed,
When our Captain bore IN painting stee,

A TALK WITH BISHOP CHATARD.
The Condition Of the Pope's Health and Some
Interesting Facts About Him.

by reputation, when lived in Rome" said the
Bishop, except by his writings, which spoke for
him. He is polished scholar and great litera-
teur. He has even written beautiful poetry.
He was then cardinal living at Perugia.
How old is he? Gioacchino Pecci was born in
Carpineto, March 2, 1910, so the Pope is nearly
seventy-fve years old. He has never been
robust man, but always of delicate health, and
is the two hundred and sixty third Pope. He is
Of nervous temperament and of great energy.
It is said of him that when engaged upon any
subject he will continue at it day and night,
frequently not retiring before morning. It is
perhaps because he is writer that
TX was When he has anything to
say he usually writes and commits it. 1t is
scholarly and beautiful, but lacks the grace and
ease Of extempore effort. When not pre-
pared, he often seems to labor for tae word.
Pope Plus was grace, and ease, and majesty in
speech. His wit was charming l heard him
once speak against Bismarck to q delegation Of
German students. 1t was a grand speech, re.
markable not only for its vigor, but forthe grace
of gesture and vocal information that accompanied
the words Pope Leo is more intellectual than
Pope Plus was. The late Pope led a different
kind of life, had different gifts, was less the
student"
The reporters eyes fell, as he was leaving
upon steel engraving, the central female figure
in which was encircled by child angels. ut is
from a painting made by ffteenth-century
artist" said the Bishop, and, pointing to the
heads of the child angels he showed the hair in
number OF them hanging over and almost COW
ering their foreheads. 'You see, said he, that
bangs are by no means modern institution, but
were in vogue nearly 400 years ago."
