WASHINGTON'S RULES OF
CONDUCT.

One of George Washington's early
copy-books contains list of hum
dred and ten "Rules of Civility and
Decent Behavior in Company and
Conversation" Here are a few of
them:
Every action in company ought
to be with some sign of respect to
those present.
When you meet with one of great
er quality than yourself, stop and
retire, especially if it be at a door, or
any strait place to give way for him
to pass.
They that are in dignity or in office
have in all places the presidency;
but whilst they are young, they ought
to respect those that are their equals
in birth or other qualities, though
they have no public charge.
Strive not with your superiors in
argument, but always submit your
judgment to others with modesty.
Be not hasty to believe flying re-
ports to the disparagement of any.
Take all admonition thankfully, in
what time or place soever given; but
afterwards, not being culpahle, take
time or place convenient to let him
know it that gave them.
Think before you speak; pro-
nounce not imperfectly, nor bring
out your words too hastily, but Or
derly and distinctly.
Speak not evil of the absent, for
it is unjust.
Make no show of taking great de-
light in your victuals; feed not with
greediness cut your bread with a
knife; lean not on the table neither
find fault with what you eat,
Be not angry at table, whatever
happens, and if you have reason to
be so, show it not put on cheer
full countenance, especially if there
be strangers, for good humor makes
one dish of meat feast.
Let your recreations be manful,
not sinful.
Labor TO keep alive in youI breast
that little spark of celestial fire called
conscience"
These are not unwise rules; they
touch on things great and small.
The difficulty with most boys would
he to follow hundred and ten of
them. They serve, however, to
; show what was the standard of good
manners and morals among those
who had the training of George
Washington.-&. Nicholas.

LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG.

John Russell Young gives the fol-
lowing account of Llncoln's manner
Of delivering his famous speech at
Gettysburg : "Mr. Lincoln rose,
walked to the edge Of the platform /;
took out his glasses and put them on
He was awkward. He bowed TO the
assemblage in his homely manner,
and took out of his coat pocket a
page of foolscap. In front of Mr..
Lincoln was photographer with his
camera, endeavoring to take pic
ture of the scene. We all supposed
that Mr.. Lincoln would make rather
a long speech-a half hour at least.
He took the single sheet of foolscap,
held it almost to his nose and, in his
high tenor voice, without the least
attempt for effect, delivered that
most extraordinary address which
belongs to the classics of literature.
The photographer was bnstling
about, preparing TO take the presi-
dents picture while he was speaking,
but Mr.. Lincoln finished before the
photographer was ready. | remem-
ber it was a beautiful October day,
and there were four or five thousand
people present. Very few heard
what Mr.. Lincoln said, and it is a
curious thing that his remarkable
words should have made no particu-
lar impression at the time. The no.
ticeable thing was the anxiety of all
on the platform that the photogra-
pher should be able to get his pic
ture. / remember we were all much
disappointed at his failure, and were
more interested IN his adventure than
in the address,"

Remember, Boys Make Men.

When you see Il ragged urchi2
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trousers,
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding;
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget it;
For remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents,
Do not in your anger speak.
You must sow in youthful bosoms
Seeds of tender mercies; then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitage,
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With his eyes aglow 18th joy,
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him boy?
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With brow all clouded, when
He said they were too thoughtless
To remember boys make men.
Let US try to add some pleasures
To the life of every boy;
For each child needs tender interest
In its sorrows and its joys;
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They'll avoid gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere
And remember, boys make men.

We have many false ideas about

We have many false ideas about
reverence. We should be shocked,
for instance, to see market woman
come into church with a basket of
eggs on her arm; we think it more
reverent to lock her out till Sunday,
and surround the church with respect
ibility of iron ratings. | believe
that it is truly reverent, when the
market-woman. hot and hurried at
six in the morning, her head much
confused with calculations of the
probable price of eggs, can never
theless get within the church porch,
lay the basket down on the very
steps of the altar, and receive thereat
as much of help and hope as may
serve her for her days work.

WASTING TIME.

Many of our young men, we fear,
do not realize what valuable time
they are losing in idling away their
days OF evenings, spending them IN
frivolous pastimes or demoralizing
indulgences. 1t should not be for
gotten that day or an hour lost is
lost forever. The young should turn
their attention to the getting of in
formation, and they will become
fond of it, and find therein the great
enjoyment of life. The facilities for
intellectual improvement are now so
great as to be open to every one.
The press lays the wealth of the
worlds knowledge before all, and
does it so cheaply that there is no
excuse for not availing ourselves of
it. Books can be bought for an al
most nominal price, while free libra
ries are open almost everywhere.
There is so much 10 learn that is full
of interest and pleasure that when
we once get into the paths of knowl
edge we pursue them with ever in
creasing delight. This being so. it
is sad sight to see so many of our
young men wasting the precious
hours of their youth in drinking at
restaurants or gossiping at stores OF
street corners, instead of storing
their minds with the information
that would add so much to their
worth and standing.
DIDN'T Goa woman entered the
police court the other day, leading a
boy about II years of age by the
hand, and as soon as she could get
the ear of the judge, she said:
"Your Honor, l believe this boy
will have to be sent to the Reform
School,
SIS he bad boy?"
''He is that. l can do nothing
with him.
"Does he run out nights p
"Well, l can't say as to that;
but he calls me names, refuses to
mind me, and has several times brok-
en- my windows"
"And you want him sent up?''
"Yes, SIR
sis he your only son?''
"Oh. no, sir. He's the only son
of one of my neighbors, and I've
been waiting two whole weeks to
capture him."
The hoy didn't go up.

One day, when the administrator

OHe uay, With lhc auHlniotiaeoi
was at the farm, she had few
words in private with him. and the
next day he came again, bringing
with him a lawyer and two men of
such unquestioned position and char
acter that even the Hiland heirs did
not venture to interfere with them.
Mary Ann was going to make her
will.
Great was the Indignation of the
family; but, as Mary Ann said grim
ly, "they couldn't help themselves.
They sat in solemn conclave in the
best parlor, erect and stiff as if at
funeral, while In Mary AIMS room
the legal formalities were arranged,
and her last will and testament was
duly executed.
''First of ALL she said, II want
five hundred dollars set aside for
monument for father. l want
him to have zeal handsome one,
and / know the others won't get him
anything decent. Then | want the
rest of my share tied up, SO that no.
body kin touch it, and kept for moth
er's benefit as long rs she lives.
When she's gone, the rest of them
kin have it. But | want her TO be
comfortable and l know jest how
they will use her, if they get a
chance
There was cessation of hostili
ties among the Hilands after the
signing of the will until Mary AIMS
death, and then they quarrelled fierce
ly. They wrangled both in public
and in private. The admins
traitor said that he had never seen
such avarce displayed. The probate
Judge rebuked them openly in court
for their unseemly contention. Hope
less of ever settling the estate amica-
bly,, the administrator procured al
order from the court to sell every
thing at public auction; and, at this
sale, the wool, which had caused Ste.
ven Hiland so much distress and al
last had cost him his life, was
sold at forty-five cents a pound. A
broker had offered several cents more
for it few days before the sale, hui
, the mutual distrust and jealousy o.
. the heirs were too great to admit o
any arrangement for accepting th'
offer.
Long before the final settlement O
the estate, not one of the children
would speak to any of the others
, and they separated and went to thei
own homes, apparently deadly enc
mics. However, "blood is thicke
than water" They did not max
> friends outside their family circl
!, easily; and, after little while, the
made up their quarrel, and were o.
good terms again, with only an occa
sional rupture to show how fond the
were of each other. Mrs. Hiland Sc
lected to 60 with her son to the West
and, thanks to Mary AIMS bequest
she was able to spend her old age
# great comfort.
