LETTER WRITING.
The Art Lost One to the Present Day
scrIbblers of Hasty Notes.

u
Scribblers of Hasty Notes.
Every one knows, of course, that the
actual number of letters passing through
the mails of every civilized country is
greater, rather than lessS year by year.
But every one also feels that these let
tiers are no longer letters, in the true
sense, at all. They are amplified tele-
grams, bald and bare statements of fact,
and they have the loose and disjointed
and careless phraseology of the tele-
graphic message That sense of the fit
expression, the graceful concept; that
feeling for the lucid and connected ex-
position of the ideas, for the balance of
the parts, of q letter, for its compost
ton, In short-the very term is pre-
Adamite to the end of the century ear
that used to preoccupy the best letter
writers of another generation have gore
from our present day scribblers of hasty
notes, as though such musty things had
never been.
The only people who compose" their
letters now are cultivated, old ladies.
Their college bred granddaughters, in
tellectually armed and professionally
equipped. exhibit productions in that
line, Of which, for the most part, it
might be said. as Henry James re-
marked of the notes OF invitation Of the
London society woman. that they have
nothing in common with the epistolary
art but the postage stamp.
1t may be held that such an accom-
plishment is not, after all, of tho great
est value But behind 1t there is an in
stinct. deep seated in the race, that a
widespread habit Of careless writing af-
fects very directly the thinking of peo-
pie. And this, one cannot but believe to
be the case. 1t takes no intellect to put
plain facts into honest, self respecting
phrases But it takes self restraint and
attentiveness, and these lead in time TO
q disciplined and coherent way of look
ing at life.-"The Point Of View" in

An Allisator's Lesson In Etiquette.


Tabby, the cat, manifested great curl
ositv, not unmixed with jealousy, when
Beelzebub, the alligator, was installed
as family pet. And she acquired the
unkind habit of walking up to him at
every opportunity and showing her dis
pleasure by deliberately cutting him
with her paw. Then she would retire,
showing evident satisfaction, as if she
had performed duty.
This was done once too often, for
Beelzebub had evidently harbored in
his memory her former insults, and this
last one proved too much for his injured
spirit His eyes flashed with yellow
ish light, and when Tabby was walking
away he scrambled after her, seized her
tail and chung to it viciously. This
frightened the bully, and she started on
arace around the room, taking aerial
flights over chairs and tables, with Beel-
zebub desperately olinging to her tail
When we released the panic stricken
Iabby, we were surprised to find that
Beelzebub was none the worse for his
wild experience, and with widely dis
tended jaws he breathed a general def
ance, but Tabby had received lesson,
and she never molested Beelzebub again.

A Boys Conscience.

Every boy, no matter how hasty or
wrong headed he may seem, has in his
heart teacher who can always show
him the way to do right if he will listen.
to what it tells him. Where the voice
comes from or who gave it power to
speak in boys heart one cannot say
here But it is there, and although he
may refuse to listen to the voice Of his
mother or to any outside voice telling
him Of the right and wrong of his &C.
tions, he cannot altogether disregard the
still, small voice which is always with
him and which sometimes he cannot
refuse to hear. Perhaps the voice may
be very faint at first, but if we try to
listen it will surely come and speak
louder and clearer in the heart Of every
boy who wishes to find a higher, better
way than he has ever known before
