The Gift OF Cheerfulness.

Good and healthy girls are almost
always cheerful. No novelist woult
consider his youthful heroine complete
If ringing laugh" were omitted fro e
the list of her charms: and in real life
the girls who do not laugh now and
then are seldom trusted or liked BY
their companions. Even beauty will
not save them. A belle who fails 20 un-
derstand the jest Of her admirers and
smiles in amiable bewilderment while
other people are laughing il soon left
with no consolation save to wonder
what any body can see in her rivai-a
girl with ''tip-tilted" nose. perhaps, AID
a large mouth and freckles, but the
happy possessor Of . pair Of merry eyes
and cheerful mind. The gift Of gayety
is indeed Of great value; but IL must be
gayety which osfyinates in . kind and
cherry heart mot That which IL born n

THE RUSSIAN STUNOA.
Movement Directed Against tho Spirit
ual Supremacy of the Guar.

| . Movement Directed Against tho Spirit
uai Supremacy of the Guar.
You are already aware that the Arch
bishop OF Odessa ard Kherson few do y.
ago. when Oddessa celebrated its cente-
nary. delivered . speech in which hi
spoke somewhat severely Of the Rus
sian peasants. Archbishop Nikannol
declared openly that 1.-The orthodox Rus.
sian peasants. are in almost every thing
inferior not only to the Lutherans, but
Also to the Jews and Tartars living
among them" and he thinks that this
regrettable state of affairs is due to the
fact that so many hundred thousand
peasants in Southern Russia are con.
verts from the orthodox church, and he
concludes his long and interesting
speech by warning every one against the
Stundists.
This speech has again directed general
attention to the powerful religious
movement known as Stunda, whose adj
herents already number at least 5.OOO..
600. 1t is difficult or impossible to tell
where this movement originated AID
who was its founder. 1t is more thar
thirty years old. and probably the first
impulse was given to it by the Ger
man colonists in Southern Russia, not
directly by propaganda. but, indirect.
~. The orthodox church, which has
always been strongly supported by the
police, has from the first paid great at
tentlon to the movement, but has never
succeeded in discovering its prophets.
AT first the police was simple enough
to think it possible to stop the move
ment by generous use Of prisons and
the knout, but it soon learned that these
measures had quite the opposite effect;
and since then the Stunda has spread
even beyond the southern
provinces. Nor is this to be wondered
at, for remarkable change takes
place with the orthodox peasant who ad-
heres to 1.-The new doctrine" He gives
up drinking, he is better dressed, his
manners are better, he becomes . better
and he soon gathers . little
fortune.
The new doctrine is really nothing
but somewhat modified Luthcranism,
and it has happened often that the
Stundists call themselves Lutherans.
They will not have any thing to do with
the orthodox church, but yet they are
generous enough to give the popes what
hey want for their existence, although |
'nly on condition that they do not preach |
against the new believers. Archbishop |
Nikanor stated in his speech that many |
II the orthodox churches in his diocese |
rave for several years been completely
'mpty. Many Of the more intelligent
priests think that the time il
lot far of when the Russian church will |
'e overthrow by the Stunda. The gov
rnment is not able to combat the stead

Measure might, perhaps. prove effective

EXCESSIVELY POLITE.

Illustrations Of Pheo0meaol Courtoey and
Fulsome Elattery.
1t is possible that there in such thing
IS being too polite; At least, one may
err in the direction Of too obsequious
courtesy. It is said that . royal per
s0nage once asked . courtier what time
it was, and the man replied, with . low
reverence, and with bated breath:
whatever time your Majesty pleases.
Doubtless the King would have been
better pleased with less aattering and
more definite answer.
There is . tradition in . certain house
shat one of its guests was 50 polite that
none Of her preferences could be ascer-
.ained, and the following incident is
always quoted in illustration Of her phe-
uomenai courtesy.
Snow, Kitty" said her hostess, ono
morning, I'VE can either row or drive
This morning; which would you prefer?''
'Thank you, that will bo charming, -
was the non-committal reply, and, Is
her hostess sfterward declared, wild
horses could not have drawn from hes
further avOwal."
Such careful courtesy is often exceed
ingly amusing, and when used by a
Trishman. one can fancy that it would
be provocative Of smiles. An Irish
sailor once called the captain of his
vessel from coffee-house with the nat
tering statement:
ANT plaze yer Honor. the tides 10
waiting for ye!''
Surely the captain might have thought
himself more than the equal Of King
who found by actual experi-
ment, that he was unequal to controlling
the sea.
Perhaps the advice Of . certain dear
old lady applies 70 etiquette, as we'll ~
to other affairs of life. '.Speak the
truth always" she was wont to say.
''but speak it gently."-Youth's Com.
