Politeness at Home.

True politeness is founded on con-
sideration for others, yet it is so much
q matter of form or habit that polite
ness is sometimes shown whore there
is no consideration it is sometimes
neglected where there is affection and
every reason for kindly consideration.
Thus, in the intercourse OF near rela.
tives made familiar with each oIher
by daily meetings, there is naturally
less formaiityi than between people
who are only thrown together by
chance for few hours or days ct
long intervals. But along with the
laying aside Of formaiity, some ne-
cessary features of politeness arc
sometimes sacrificed by relatives and
very close friends. The youth who
is careful to salute his lady friends
and acquaintances according TO the
usages ofgood society sometimes fors
gets to pay the same respect to his
sister, not because he is wanting in
afiectionate regard, but because he
has grown SO familiar with her that il
seems awkward to him to treat her in
any formal way. Yet when he meets
her 10 company he should. out Of his
consideration for her, be markedly
polite and attentive.
Although politeness necessarily
follows to great extent set forms, it
should have its origin in affection for
the individual, Or, In q more general
way, in consideration for others.
When the young man begins TO be-
have at home with less politeness
than he exhibits abroad, there Is much
danger that gradually be Will lose
tbat consideration for his immediate
relatives which he should have and
exhibit. lie may begin by entering
The family room without formal greet
ing absorbed in his own thoughts
OF purposes, he will soon begin 10
leave his sister and his mother TO
look out for themselves in the smaller
affairs Of life. and gradually but surely
he will cultivate a selfish disposition
in home affairs that will make bin q
bad or indifferent son or brother.

Stop Whining.

What is the reason that some PEG.
pie are always whining and making
poor mouth. as if they were the
most afflicted under heaven, when
they are really highly favored |?
Here is mar for whom nothing ever
seems to be right; if it is not one
thing it Is another thing, and be is
poor miserable sinner. So he is,
but possibly not in the sense he meant
it. Or there is wOmn who never
can zee the bright side Of anything :;
if her husband has work, then he is
ovetworked il he is slightly III. then
he is almost corpse; If he has one
hundred dollars at free disposal, he
has nothing. And so it goes on.
Why do not men and women claim
ing 10 he Christians, followers OF Him
vbo gave mp every thing for poor hu-
manity. stop such silly behavior and
quit themselves like men and be
strong? Such whining is not only
unchristian. but silly, indicative Of
menta! weakness. Alas that so Of
ten is accompanied by bitterness.
Or ID it purely physical affection
caused by the liver? Would ,hst it
were, for then we could have more
patience with the manifestations. But
it is sign that the heart is not right

pels the blood through the veins but

Too little value is placed on time
on the farm. In manufacturing es-
adjustments. where large numbers of
men are employed, it is we'll under
stood that the loss of q few minutes
on each man would be sufficient to
change profit into a loss. On the
