The code of etiquette throughout civ
ilization is predicated upon the code of
morals, and wherever it is examined in
all those details which affect daily life,
it will be found that it is not only
formed by the requirements OF the
greatest convenience, but by those of
the rule of doing toward others as we
would have them do toward us. Aris-
totle long ago said that manners were
the lesser morals and it is more strictly
true to-day; and the visitor from the re-
mote bacSwoods who has common-sense
and Christian principle. and uses both.
will hardly commit much offense in the
best society. In fact, it is second-best
society that laughs and sneers; the best
will see and suspect nothing ridiculous,
since il knows the character Of non-es-
sentials, and all that could offend in
that line is reserved for the litter OF
the lower grade of feeling and conduct.

JeNNYS WHITE ROSE.

1t wss in the sweet June afternoon the busy
housewife sat
All alone, save on the hearth-rug dozed the sleek
gray household cat;
For the small feet. wont to patter on the spot
less kitchen floor.
In the sunny summer weather chased the daisied
meadows DER.
Out of doors the noisy swallows twittered un-
derneath the caves,
And breezy joy had set a-quiver all the ancient
poplars leaves,
While the shining ripples chased eacn otner
through the tender wheat
And the breath Of clover blossoms from the now
ing fields came sweet.
In the quaint old garden there were roses, white
and blush and red;
There were ranks OF gay Sweet Williams ana OF
pinks a snowy bed;
Balm with cups of sweetest nectar that the va
grant bees loved well,
And a clump Of fringy southernwood that gave
goodly smell
BY the open window, with her mending basket
by her side,
YEARLY the shining needle long the busy house
wife piled:
YEARLY, with many sigh, for Jenny's heart
was out of tune
win the Bi1ohess OF INC suhs-'iHo "a 'i-S 'S'S
June afternoon.
All, it was the same old story woman's work
was never done
Always one dull round OF labor from the dawn
till set OF sun
