When friend is carried to his grave
we at once find excuses for every
weakness and palliations OF every
fault; we recollect thousand endear-
ments which before glided off our
minds without IMPRESSION thousand
favors unrepaid, thousand duties un-
performed; and wish. vainly wish, for
his return, not so much that we may
receive as that we may bestow happi-
ness and recompense that kindness
which before we never understood. Let
MS therefore make haste to do what
we shall certainly at last wish to have
done; let us return the affection OF our
friends, and endeavor by mutual en-
dearments to heighten that tenderness
which is the balm of life. Let us be
quick to repent Of injuries which re-
pentance may not be barren anguish /;
and let us open our eyes to every rival
excellence, and pay early and willing
ly those honors which justice will com
pei us to pay at last.

Courteous but unhygienic was the
act of President Mckinley, when he
recently rode bareheaded through the
streets of Boston on bitter winters
day. He is not by any means the only
president who has risked health and
life by the same needless exposure. IL
etiquette upholds or condones the
courteous act, then etiquette should
be condemned. For some reason our
people seem to think that presidents
have no more right to. cover their
heads before a crowd of staring spec
tators than they have to wear a
crown. The wonder is that many of
the chief magistrates of this country
have not died of pneumonia long be-
fore their four years term of Office
expired.
