TRAINING CHILDREN.
The Importance of an Early Cultivation of
POliteness and Grace.

POliteness and Grace.
A child's truest and best happiness
does not consist in making his individ-
ual well-being the pivot upon which
the whole household machinery turns.
He will be better, not worse, for lit
tie judicious letting alone occasionally,
and for being taught that there are
other people to consider before him
self. While mother should always
have quick and hearty sympathy for
juvenile trials and perplexities, she
should at the same time exact from
the child corresponding consideration
for her own occupations and annoy
ances. The sympathies, like other
spiritual development, require diligent
cultivation.
In the minor moralities the principle
of careful early training holds good.
The politeness that is now significantly
styled old-fashioned might be reintro-
duced with benefit to those who prac-
ticed it and to those who are favored in
receiving it. The graceful Difference
to elders and to women is something
that is rarely acquired in mature years.
A boy OF five is none too young to be
taught to pull off his cap when he
meets an acquaintance, to remain un-
covered in the presence of ladies, to
step aside to allow them to enter or
leave a room first and to remain
standing until they are seated. There
is an ease of bearing gained by early
drilling in these regards that makes
unmistakable the difference between
the man whose courtesy is ingram and
the one with whom is is veneering,
no matter how skilfully the latter may
have been applied.
The table manners of children car
not receive too close attention, and YET
they seldom have adequate care be.

EORGETFULNESS.
An Amusing Incident Illustrative Of nr.
Lyman Beecher's Character.

Lyman Beecher's Character.
1t would seem that the trait of for.
getfulness is hereditary, and can be
cultivated like toy pigeons Mr..
Beecher's father, the venerable DR.. Ly-
man Beecher was, as is well known,
often absent-minded and forgetful, as
men who think very earnestly are apt
to be. When he was the president of
Lane Seminary it was very poor, and
found difficulty in adequately support
ing its faculty, so that Mrs. Beecher
was often sadly stratened pecuniarily.
The old story goes that at one time,
when she received sum of money, it
was the occasion of great rejoicing, as
it would enable them to pay a bill for a
carpet which had been too long stand
ing. So she committed the money to
her husband, charging him to attend
to the payment Immediately, In the
evening the doctor returned from the
city in high spirits and described mis-
sionary meeting he had attended, in
which was much enthusiasm, very elo-
euently reporting the addresses which
had been made. Doctor" interrupted
Mrs. Bcechcr, "did you go and pay for
that carpet to-dayP" Carpet! what
carpet?" responded the doctor "Why,
the one gave you the money to pay
for this morning" "There!" said the
doctor, feeling feebly in his vest pock-
ct; "that accounts for it. At the mis-
sionary meeting they took up contri-

THAT WIFE OF MINE.

iDhe met me at the door last night,
All dainty, fresh and smiling,
And threw her plump arms round me tight
In manner most beguiling.
Then, In her sweet, impulsive way,
She hugged me, as she kissed me,
And told me how the live.long dav
Shed thought of me, and missed me.
She helped me of with coat and hat,
And led me, still close -clinging,
Into the dining-room, and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal was perfect; frcsh-cut flowers,
The fire light, warm and rosy,
Made all seem bright; swift flew the hours
And we were, oh! SO cozy!
Then, after dinner, she and l
Sang the old songs together
, I'VE used to sing In days gone by
My heart was like feather
tOur happiness made earth a Heaven.
And now, as l review it,
/ recolicct twas past eleven
Almost before we knew 1t.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me;
Softly she smoothed my hair, and when
kissed her did not chide me.
She fOndly pinched my cheek. and SO.
Her dimpled hand upon it,
She whispered: Darling, do you know
need new spring bonnet?n

Why Mrs. Clamwhooper's Green Parrot
Refused to Talk.
Mrs. Clamwhooper, an elegantly.
dressed lady, followed by servant in
livery, bearing cage in which there
was a green parrot, entered the estab-
lishment of New York bird dealer.
II bought this bird of you six
months ago, and he hasn't spoken a
word yet. When l bought him you
told me that he would repeat every
word he heard" SAID the lady, indig-
nantly.
''Well, l say so yet He-will repeat
every word he hears" replied the bird
dealer, calmly.
But he doesn't repeat a single
word"
That's because he can't hear a
single word He is as deaf as post.
You forgot to ask if he could hear, and
l forgot to mention it. NV motto is
Honesty is the bestpoliey. Morning,
ma'am.n

The baseball season opens rather
spiritedly. The first reports naturally
come from the sunny South. In a game
played at Charleston, S. c., between
the Charleston and Philadelphia clubs,
the eenter-fielder of the Charlestons
broke his knee-cap, which will disable
him for life, and another member Of
the same club lost a valuable finger.
As these casualties occurred early in
the engagement it is not surprising to
learn that the visiting club s:ored a big
victory.-Chicago Tribune.

RUM AND THE TOTLERs.
chicago Socialists Answer the Plea
of the Temperance Union.

Oh the Temperance Union.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-The Socialists held
meeting yesterday afternoon. T. j.
morgan read an open letter to the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and clergy of Chicago from the working
men In mass meeting assembled, in which
ne denied the charge that the working
men OF tnls city or country were especi-
ally Incorporate. Complaints OF dis
crlmlnation in the treatment of E'wine-
betuddled club men" and ''beery work
lngmen" were made, and it is claimed
that in all the humorous Socialistic
pals and, picnics no person had
YET Deen arrested. THAT intemperance
exists among us we must acknowledge,
though we claim and can prove that it is
the result and not the cause of the envir-
onment and ASSOCIATIONS that we are COM
PEELED 10 endure" 1t states that the prin-
clpal causes of intemperance are heredi-
tary social customs and industrial con-
0!tlons, and makes what it claims to be
an adequate explanation of each. "Tbe
cure Tor lntemperance must begin with
an improvement of the social and indus
trial condition of workers. 1t is
useless and it is illogical to talk
OF cure that begins anywhere
else." 1t Is asked that the ''monev wasted
upon the heather" be devoted to the es-
tablishment of baths, gymnasiums, read
ing rooms and music halls" In the dis
cussion which followed, the establish
ment of coffee houses was advocated, and
the statement was made that ''the clubs
in the city consumed more liquor, and
did more gambling than the poor men and
gambling houses combined" after which
the paper was adopted as the sense of the
assembly.

Westchester was totally burned this
evening, The building was two-story
brick structure about 100 by 200
feet. and consisted of carpenter
shop, engine room, stocking manufac-
tory, blacksmith shop, dormitory
for men. and repair shops. The
main building, which is heated by steam.

ton, therefore, of the engine house de-
prives the protectory Of heat and power
TO operate the machinery outside of the
engine house. The loss is about $4,000.
