CHINESE POLITENESS.

| have read or a little incident
that strlkingly illustrates Chinese
polltcneSs. A gentleman, dressed
in silk and satin, went to call on a
friend. His fncnd being absent,
he sat down to await his arrival.
While waiting, d rat ran along a
beam over his head and upset
vessel of oil, pouring the contents
over his fine rooes, literally running
them. lust then the host came IN
and seeing the SAD plight OF his
guest exclaimed: Dear me!-what
is the natter"
The guest replied: 20 nothing
at all; II is of no consequence
whatever. While | was sitting
here IN your great hall, your hon
orable rat came running along on
your exalted beam and overturned
your excellent OIL on these mIser-
able rags of NINE"
1t is not even necessary to show
that such pollteness is not sincere.
Real polteness has for heart the
kindness which Can only flow from
Him who is lover. I. Bryan.
