In the Drawing Room.

1t has come to be more and more q
maxim of good manners, not to men,
ton good morals, that scandal is never
to be ralked in the drawing-room. So
thoroughly is this recognized, that if a
woman is heard in good society talk
ting of unpleasant personalities she is
at once set down as an accident of the
place, and not as one either to the
manner born or who has been long
enough with people of good breeding
to acquire their repose and taste.
Very likely many of these high-bred
people in question, who are to the
manner born, hear gossip and scandal.
and perhaps lend to them a too willing
ear; but it is in privacy, in the depths
of boudoir or chamber, vice paying it's
well.known tribute there to virtue in
the hypocrisy that whispers it in the
dark, as it were, and will not listen to
it more publicly. And it is to be con-
fessed that of the two evils the indis-
criminate encouragementof eyil-speak-
ing is the greater, for the hypocrisy
Injuries ones self, but the opposite
course Injuries ones self and many
others besides.
The forbidding of the enjoyment of
scandal in public is, at any rate, an
acknowledgment Of it's vulgarity, if
not of it's wickedness. 1t proclaims,
too, the fact that society thinks we'll Of
itself and it's intentions. and has a
standard of some loftiness, up to which
it endeavors to live, and that it recog-
'nizes an interest in the possible ill-do-
ings of fallen mortals as something in.
trinsically low and coarse, and calcu-
lated to hurt its own structure, all in
terest in such facts any way as indica-
tive of an order of taste not to be de-
sired, and its possessor a person not to
be associated with. 1t may be simply
as a sybaritic precaution, ease and
pleasure beings so much surer when no
uncomfortable suggestion thrusts in
an ugly head, that unpleasant topics
of an unwholesome nature are tabooed
in ihe conversation of the finest
drawing-rooms. But whether this is
50 or not, it is plain that good society
would like to be optimistic; it would
believe in no evil and would speak no
evil it has found that the essence of
the golden rule and as the voice of
scandal violates all its notions, it has
laid upon such utterances within its
borders the penalty of oStracism.-

Made of The Right Stuff.

On the corner of one of the business
streets of the city, the other morning,
shoeblack hadju finished polishing
the shoes of well-dressed and gentle
appearing man. The latter was unfor-
tllnate in having a deformity which
compelled him to wear ashoe on one OF
his feet with an exceedingly thick
sole, thus endeavoring TO make up me,
chanically for what nature had denied
him. "How much shall 1 pay you"
he asked the boy. "Five cents, sir"
10. but you should have more than
five cents for polishing my, shoes,
said the gentleman, tapping the thick
sole significantly with his cane. No,
sir,n said the boy; ''five cents is
enough. / don't want to make no
money out O. your hard luck.' The
customer handed outs coin. laid his
hand OH the youngsters head Tor u mo-
ment and passed on. Who says the
days of chivaIry are over?--EN-

Government Of Children.

Seated on the street, a gentleman
came up, looking into one of these Ell.
ticing shops, where CONNECTIONS were
displayed in their accustomed way.
Said he, "Let's 60 in," as he was lead.
ing little two year old boy, while two
nice little girls were following, all his
own children, and be proceeded to'buy
some apples which he desired for them
and which he thought the most whole
some. The little boy, however, seeing
that there was no candy in the pur-
chase, urged his pa to buy him some.
On being told that candy was not so
good for him as he thought, the boy
commenced crying, ~ want some
candy" AS his pa started home, the
the little boy, on getting out in the
street cried the louder, II want some
candy" Whereupon his pa, a man of
nerve, took him back into shop and
in the far end of the same admlniiter-
ed such punishment as was necessary
for correction, and the little fellow
went home in as good order as little
boy could under the circumstances.
Now, instead of turning in the first
place, and saying, as many do, 'Son-
ME, pa won't love you if you act, so,
be ashamed" and such nice soothin g
expressions, which are well enough in
place, and buying the candy and spoil
ling the child, he acted as above.
Now, it is not necessary to comment.
There is too much compromising and
yielding to the children of this age.
Too many are left to themselves, to
have their own way and bring their
parents to the same. Herein is the
chief reason why young America is so
wild and wayward as it now appears.

Judge Thomas M. Cooley, the great
jurist and Chairman Of the Inter State
Commerce Commission, sat reading In
his library OH the night Of Jan 10.
when his Negro coachman, armed
with double barrel shotgun, enter
ell. The Judge saw from his looks
that he was insane, but calmly asked
him what was the matter. The Ne.
gro replied that he had decided to kill
the whole family, as they talked too
much and left him no time to think.
The Judge told him that he agreed
with him, and would attend to it, and
so influenced him that he laid down
the gun and departed. The judge
then telephoned the neighbors to get q
deputy sheriff who arrested the coach
man. This is equal to the Duke of
Wellington's famous encounter. A
man of gaunt appearance forced his
way into the room where the duke
was writing. "Who are you?' said
the duke, land what do you want ?'
II am Ap )llyon, and am sent to XIII
YOU" "What !" said the Duke,
pointing to a pile of letters, with all
these letters unanswered! Come
around tomorrow morning and will
be ready for you" The lunatic with
drew. Mr.. Spurgeon was troubled by
one who said: Il am sent by God to
do whatever you wish" "Well," "
said Mr.. Spurgeon, II was wishing
that you would 60 away now )" and
in telling it he says the fellow had
sense enough to be consistent, and de-
parted.

A Fatal Error.

The following amusing fling at the
undoubted interest which many fe.
male church goerf take in their neigh
bors' bonnets, appears in an ex,
change.
An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by members
of his congregation looking around at
late comers. After enduring it for
some time, he said, on entering the
reading desk one day -
Brethren, I regret that your atten-
tion is called away from your religious
duties by your very natural desire to
see who comes in behind YOU. / pro-
pose henceforth, to save you the trou-
BILE. by npming each person who may
enter, and | hope that the service will
then be allowed to proceed without in-
terruption."
He then begrn: dearly beloved"
but paused half way to interpolate
"Mr. Stubbins, with his wife aud
daughter"
Mr.. Stubbins looked rather surpris-
ed, but the minister, with perfect grav-
ity, resumed his eXhortation. Presen-
tly he again paused: Mr.. Curtis and
William Diggle."
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books.
The service proceeded in the most or
derIy manner, the parson interrupting
himself every now and then, to- name
some new conner. At last he said,
still with the same perfect gravi-
ty.
Mrs. Symons, in new bon
net"
In moment he felt his mistake, but
it was too late. Every feminine
head in the congregation had turned
around. Exchange.
