GOOD MANNERS

George William Curtis in Harper's Magazine.
But fine manners no code can teach.
If they are conscious they become artifi-
cial and are fine no longer. A man
indeed may be taught to avoid grossness
and impudence and not to mistake them
for ease. The youth who puffs cigar
cite when he is walking with a lady, who
is free and easy instead of scrupulously
courteous in his address and tone, may
be told that he is merely ungentlemanly
and vulgar; and if he choose he may cor
rect his behavior; certainly he would cor
rect it if the lady showed him that she
required the correction. The impudence
of young men generally reflects the weak
ness of young women. If they required
courtesy there would be little insolent
freedom of behavior upon the part of
their cavaliers.

SIMPLICITY IN DRESS.

From the London Queen.
Dress an average woman in 4 close
fitting serge or quite neutral tinted tweed;
give her spotless linen collar, and cuffs
to match; take away chains and gewgaws,
and tell me if she ever looked better, un-
less indeed it were in a pink cotton cam
brio, on a summers morning, with rose
at her throat instead of a brooch.
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity
costly simplicity if you will-but let
every dress be one-idead. and let no un-
necessary OF extraneous trifleS be intro
duced into it. And after simplicity, or
rather as a consequence of it, comes fresh
ness, that most desirable quality, which
to a woman's clothes is much the same
as a fair healthy skin is TO her face; so
that to say of a woman "She always
looks so fresh is to pay the highest of
all compliments to herself and her milli-
ner.
Take your complexion first. Are you
fair, with blue eyes? Then you can wear
every shade of blue, from azure down to
violet; but if you have gray, green, or
brown eyes, you will only create a dis
cOrdance if you suffer mOrsel of blue
near you. On the other hand, perfect
ly fair, green-eyed woman adds wierd-
ness and charm to her fairness when she
arrays herself in all the paler shades of
green. and she reigns triumphant in the
knowledge that not even the clearest-
skinned bruno dares to emulate her.
For brunes, scarlet and amber, white
and orange, though if there be the faint
est tint of yellow in the skin, orange may
be only ventured on at night. Some wo-
men who might come under the heading
of blondes, stand vivid yellow and orange
well; still there must be certain amount
of color in the face, and a skins trans
parently fair. But up to the age of 40,
and frequently beyond it, the healthy,
fresh-looking woman is at her very best
in white, as often oddly enough, judg-
ing by the law of contrast) she is at her
very worst In black.
Give her white morning wrapper, or
a cotton dress, or even a white muslin
bib to her dark dress, and she looks fairer
and more rosy than in an unrelieved win
Ter gown. Many a woman sitting up in
her white bed, with only white cambric
and embroidery about her, will strike
one as sweetly pretty creature, who in
dark clothes would never arrest our at
tention.

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Affectation is at best deformity.

Affectation is at best deformity.
Consideration is due to all things.
Man, man is thy brother, and thy
father is God.
Utter not as true, that which you can
not vouch for.
Let your anger set with the sun, but
not rise with it.
The greatest of fools is he who i'm
poses on himself.
There is a foolish corner even in the
brain of the sage.
If you would teach secrecy to others
begin with yourself.
In order to Judge of another's feelings,
remember your own.
Poverty is the test of civility and the
touchstone of friendship.
The secret of making ones self tire
some is not to know when to stop.
Pleasures are like poppies spread; you
seize the flower, its bloom is shed.
Make the most of time, it flies away
so fast; yet method will teach you to
win time.
Books are lighthouses erected in the
great sea of time.
If a man blows his own trumpet, can
his opinions be sound?
Never speak or act in anger until you
have prayed over your words or acts.
Successful love takes load off our
hearts, and puts it upon our shoulders.
Never retort sharp or angry word
1t is the second word that makes the
quarrel.
Were we as eloquent as angels, we
should please some more by listening
than by talking.
He is rich whose income is more than
his expenses, and he poor whose expens-
ses exceed his income.
l can easier teach twenty what were
good to be done than be one of twenty
to follow my own teaching.
When men are sorely urged and press
ed they find in themselves power which
they thought they had not.

ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN.

\. J. COnant, the artist, during some
interesting remarks, in New " ork, recent
", on personal "reminiscences of Abra-
ham Lincoln" related one story which,
he said, he had himself told Lincoln,
and which the latter used ON several oc-
casiOns, on two of which he had been
interrupted before he got to the point,
and" said the artist, ''if there was any
thing which annoyed Mr.. Lincoln it was
this. 1t always caused him to remem-
Der the man from whom he got the stO
~. The story was of Missouri man
who went to stable to get horse to
take him to convention to which he
was going as delegate with hope of
nomination. The stable keeper was of
different political persuasion, and gave
him horse which he calculated would
break down before he got there. His
calculation proved true, and the man
lost the nomination. On his return to
the stable the disappointed Missourian
asked the stableman if he was training
that horse for hearse. The man said,
Kinder guessed he wasn't Well said
the man, if you are, he'll never do it,
for he wouldn't get a corpseto the cemete-
ry in time for the resurrection This stO-
~ Lincoln had twice tried to tell-once
from the rear of train, and was carried
away by it before he got to the point,
and second time, when present at
gun testing, when the gun was fired just
as he reached the Missourian's reply"

ABOUT CHEAPNESS.

Detroit Tribune.
Cheapness is relative term. An ar
ticle may be very cheap to man receiv-
ing $3.50 a day which would be dear to
a man receiving but $1.25 day. The
workers of Europe have no money to
buy the things that are cheaper there
than in America. All their low wages
90 for the real necessaries of life, which
are dearer than in America. 1t is plain
to be seen that if we buy from them what
they can t afford to buy themselves, and
throw ourselves out of.work, we will re-
duce ourselves exactly to their condition.

THE CHEAPER WAY.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The Southern project for prescribing
an educational qualification for voters,
which is expected to cut off nearly all
the negro vote, and possibly may have
the same effect on considerable proper
ton of the white vote, need not be mat
ter of dispute between the North and the
South. The North has the right to ex-
press its opinion on the abstract policy
involved; but its rights will not be i'm
perilled by such step, and its relative
power in the general government will be
increased thereby.
Under the Constitution any State can
prescribe an educational test for suffrage;
but under the Constitution, also, the pro-
portion of voters cut off by that test will
be matched by the reduction of the pro-
portion of representation to which that
State is entitled in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Suppose that an educational
test should be established in the South
which excludes 80 per cent. of its present
voters. That test would reduce the rep
resentation of the South in the House
just 30 per cent, with exactly the same
reduction in the representative electors.
The ignorant voter is an undoubted
evil and peril; but this and other con-
siderations as to the difficulty of taking
the ballot from him after he has it, will
make it well for the South to consider
whether it is not cheaper to educate her
citizens than to disfranchise them.

As THE rays come from the sun, and
vet are not the sun, even so our love and
pity, though they are not God, but mere

THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE.


Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, 9th.
The ohio State Journal should console
itself with respect to the final failure of
the tally-sheet cases, with the reflection
that as the guilt in the forgeries can not
be personified- it is not identified with
individuals must belong to the Dem
ocratic party. The party has been found
guilty. We do not know that the party
was assisted in a material way by the
success of the prosecution in this city,
but our judicial system was vindicated
by finding or two that were in accord
ance with the law and the testimony
1t was a desperate struggle, lasted long
time, and required the application of Or
ganized public opinion. The open ques-
tion is whether the hanging of the Mont
gomery, the acquittal of Allen o. Myers,
and the dismissal of the other cases is to
be considered vindication of the Cleve-
land administration. Allen O. Myers and
Lew Bernard were in Washington last
night, perhaps to report to the President
on the subject.

do it in. One yawns, one procrastinates,
one can do it when one will, and there
fore one seldom does it all; whereas

must, to use vulgar expression, buckle
to it; and then they always find time
enough to do it.
