the haughtiness of duchess. She
dressed well and richly, and her man
ner when sitting before her machine
was that of grand woman of society
who eondescended to play occasionally
on the piano. She had much the air of
-a-wuinan who was employing the men
in the office to take care of her millions
and make out her accounts. Mr.. Bulles
always felt as though he ought to ask
her permission to smoke, and was al
most afraid to ask her to take down
any of his correspondence. What work
he dared to give her she did as well as
it could be done, so he had nothing
uEattrst- except her pride. He ode
ternined finally to break down her
pride. lie had been uncomfortably inn
pressed with her dignity, now she
should learn what it was to feel that
Way toward him.
So the next morning he called her in
and, after debating few business let

paper, please. Are you ready? Let me

Good sense.

II will preserve us from censorious-
ness; will lead us to distinguish circum-
stances; keep us from looking after
visionary perfection. and make US see
things in their proper light, It will
lead us to study disposition, peculiar
tiles, accommodation; to weigh consc-
ouences; to determine what to observe
and what to pass by; when to be inn
movable and when to yield. It will
produce good manners, prevent us
from taking freedoms and handling
things roughly; will never agitate
claims of superiority, but teach us to
submit ourselves one to another, Good
sense will lead persons to regard their
own duties, rather than to recommend
those Of others,--St. Louis GlobeSpem-
