TWO VIRTUES DISAPPEARING.
Loyalty and Chivalry Seem to Be
Out of the Fashion.

LOYALTY seems to be one of the old
fashioned virtues which of late years
have become almost obsolete-loyalty
to ones friend, ones guest, even to the
members of ones family. 1t seems to
belong no longer to the ethics of mod
ern life. "Yes, l am very fond of-so-
and-so,' is the usual preface, but
and then follows the usual criticism,
which is generally exaggerated, is
often unldnd, and almost always gives
disagreeable impression of the per-
son discussed. In old daysit used to be
considered bad taste to eriticise either
guest or host, but such intimate inter
course nowadays seems only to give an
added opportunity for satirical remark
1t is literally true as society is at
present constituted that person who
speaks we'll of friends is voted n bore,
while tongue that spares no one gives
its owner n decided popularity. Oddly
enough, however. the listeners who en-
Joy the gossip which in the nature
of things is necessarily ill-natured,
never seem to realize while they laugh
over the shortcomings of mutual ac-
| guaintances that they themselves will
| be the next victims, for it may be taken
as a well-proved rule that person who
says sharp things of one friend will not
| spare another. Every one of US is
vulnerable, and if our intimate friends
cannot "be to our virtues very kind, and
TO our faults little blind" whom can
we trust? We shall have to end by
flowing our enemies" and praying TO be
delivered from our friends" like
Job of old.
If loyalty has become obsolete among
the women of late years, the men might
well plead guilty TO another indiet-
ment-chivalry with them has certain
| ly died out. 1t used to be said of
American men that they were very
Bayards in knightly homage to their
womankind. But where now is that
boasted consideration? Women are
dragged into print and have their most
private and sacred affairs discussed
without any redress. 1t is not so very
long ago that courtesy toward the sex
in public conveyances used to be the
rule Now it is the exception, and the
tone Of careless indifference prevails
even in matetrs social. Politeness to-
ward women simply because they are
women is now conspicuous by its alb
senee, and there is a give-and-take sort
of manners in vogue that is very def
cient indeed in the respect shown of
wore. Perhaps this is not altogether
the fault of the men; it may be that the
women have brought this state of af-
fairs on themselves. Hthe new woman
had not appeared it is possible that the
old-fashioned gentleman would not
have gone out of existence, and that
our men might have remained preux
ehevaliers-but whatever the cause.
and wherever we may look for the rea-
son. it cannot be denied that another
very desirable virtue has become prae-

A LITTLE WORD.

All. me. these terrible tongues of ours.
Are we half aware of their mighty powers3
DO we ever trouble our heads at all
Where the Jest may strike or the hint may
fall2
DO we ever think of the sorrow and pain
Some poor tortured heart has to live Ger
again.
When some light-spoken word-though for
gotten tomorrow
Brings back TO life some past shame or
sorrow9
What names have been blasted and
broken,
What pestient sinks been stirred.
by a word In lightness spoken,
by only little word,
A sneer, a shrug, or a whisper low,
They're poisoned shafts of an emhushed
bow
Shot by the coward. the fool. the knave-
They pierce the mail of the great and brave.
Vain is the buckler of wisdom and pride
To turn the pitiless point aside.
The lips may curl with a careless smile,
But the heart drps blood, drps blood the
while.
All, me, what hearts have been broken.
What rivers of blood been stirred,
BY a word in malice spoken,
by only little word.
A kindly word and a tender tone,
Only TO God are their virtues Known
They can bring the proud, with ahteet head.
They can turn the foe a friend instead
The heart close-harred with passion and
pride
Win fling at their knock, its portals wide:
And the hate that hllghts and the seern
that sears
VIII melt IN a fountain Of ehtldlike tears
What lee-Nound sriefs have been broken
What rivers % love been stirred.

PHYSICAL DO-NOTHlNGS

Persons Corporeityf

A respected citizen of Buffalo, pro.
fessional man, who devotes many hours
Of every day, and often of the night, to
hard mental work, never walks when
that dull and wasteful occupation can
be avoided. He was never on horse.
and but for a moment on a bicycle, on
memorable occasion. He has never
played ball, cricket or tennis, and in.
dulges in no athletic sport or practice

eat and sleep well, and the machine
works smoothly. Go along with your
marbles, and polo, and trundling baby
carriages on two wheels, and let US

the general subject of athletics and
bodily exercise is not often openly
ayowed, but it is practically exemplifed
by thousands of men in this country
and by not few well-known persons
even in England, where outdoor recrea-
tion is a sort of religion.
The chief example of all the physical
do-nothings is, of course, Lord Maeau
lay. During an epoch when, at our
principal seats of education, athletic
pursuits were regarded as a leadingob-
iect of existence rather than as means
of health and recreation, it requires
some boldness," says Sir George Tre-
yelyan, "to confess that Macaulay was
utterly destitute OF bodily accomplish
ments, and that he viewed his defcien-
cies with supreme indifference. lie

nor skate, nor shoot. He seldom crossed
