"A City Eralaed Tor Ats Good Manners md
Harmonious Surroundings.
If wishea to teach an awkward
child, yo or girl good usanaers by
example, should send him or her to
Florence. says d writer TO Truth (Lon-
DOM. I mere may be Ill hammered per-
SONS there, but / never saw one. Poor
people behave with the suave dignity
(which used in England to stamp the
lady or gentleman. Most persons are
brainy, but cleverness is not eager TO
shine. 1t is very subdued and more oily
than corrosive. The charm Of Florence
steals on one like the wit Of its clever
inhabitants. The senses are soothed liz
all directions By harmonious manner
and objects. Architects understood Chi
aruscuro not less than the great painters
and sculptors. One never wearies of the
streets and public buildings. Their as
poets constantly and strongly vary. &C
cording to the course of the sun. Lights
and shades at 10 in the forenoon are
wholly different from what they will
be at 4 in the afternoon. The Floren-
tine women have interesting though not
beautiful faces. But one has only to
walk into the market to see country
girls who would have done for models
for Raphael's Virgin mothers. One is
struck in the galleries with the nice
Judgment with which the pictures are
hung. What more lofty in sentiment
than the tomb Of Lorenzo de- Medici?
Loftiness is an attribute Of Florentine
architecture, palatial or domestic. Tie
doors of private houses might pass in
England for portals. One feels them to
be great facts in their way.
Talking of harmonious things re-
minds me Of the Boboli gardens. Is
there a spot in England, the land Of
stately and lovely seats, that at all ap-
proaches them? In situation and tran
quill, generous lo~yeliness l can only
think Of one-the Duke of Northumber-
lands terraced gardens at his place in
Surrey. The Boboli Eden, where the
Prince and Princess of Naples still court
~seclusion, has the advantage over the
Surrey paradise of being under a reveal
ing sky. Every shade Of greenery, every
floral hue, is well brought out. One sees
the faultless texture Of statues and
fountains mellowed by time. In SO
strong a light a well ordered design is
required, and one has ii. The marbles
are the climax. They are to the horti-
cultural beauties as brilliants to the
lace and satin Of a fine woman's dress.
Florence is not what il was in the
grand ducal days. Still, it retains the
air of a capital with a long and illus.
trious history. The ladies' dresses are
only provincial when measured by the
Paris standard, to which Italian wom-
en- above the peasant class generally
submit-more's the pity. Paris fashions
only suit Frenchwomen unless applied
by French hairdressers and femmes de
chambre. An English or a German face
under a Paris hat or bonnet is at a
dreadful disadvantage if the hair has
not been first dressed by q French art
iste c~apillaire. He places the hat,
through the medium Of the hair, in
harmonic Gus relation with the face. /
fancy these French coiffeurs are not
much employed by italian ladies.

Called Upon Again.

No doubt most true Christians have
much sweet peace and many bright
and happy days in this world, but their
peace is like that of the mariner who
has battled with the tempests OF the
night. but when the morning comes the
sky is bright and the sea unruffied. and
with light and happy heart he voyages
onward to the desired haven, or like the
soldier who has made the march and
fought the battle and gained the vic
tory. and, though enjoying the soldiers
rest and with it the sweets OF triumph,
knows not how soon the bugle may
sound and he again be called to strug'
gle with the foe.

There must have been a bit Of canine

See how men throw overheard the
lading of the ship when it becomes a
question of saving their lives. Reason
teaches them that the less precious
must go first. They do not throw over
first their gold and then their corn.
neither do they lose their lives to save
their ingots. So let us. above all
things, care for our souls and their
eternal interests.

Of underworkes, they feel and speak

difference, especially in certain sorts
of service. II is peculiarly vital ele-
ment of Christian service. God cares
much more for the spirit than for the
form Of work done for him. and in a
large measure the work itself is given
us to be done in order to afford oppor-
tunity for the cultivation Of a right

Judge with Care.

1t is extremely difficult to disasso-
ciate the individual and the act. We
may as well be frank and say that it is
an impossible task. An act becomes
the interpreter of the hearts purpose
where the intention is not to deceive.
Straightforward purpose within pre-
sents itself outwardly in clean. broad,
generous living. 1t must always evil
dence itself in deeds of tenderness, phi
lanthropy and holy sacrifice. Pure liv-
ing in the breast. in it's outward flow,
pours upon the world the sweet bless
ing of pure living. The individual is
correctly judged by the fruits of his
living. All criticism becomes harsh. dis
honorable and un-Christian which for
gets the outward act in it's rush to
climb back into the cha mber of the
soul. where purposes are born. There
alone should be heard the footsteps of
the Divine.
