A WEATHER PROPHET.
The Tortoise Knows When 1t Is Coin
to Rain and Always Makes
for Shelter.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to be
afraid of rain, but it is singularly so.
Twenty-four hours or more before rain
falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for
some convenient shelter. On bright,
clear morning, when not cloud is to be
seen, the denizens of a tortoise farm
on the African coast may sometimes be
seen heading for the nearest overhang-
ing rocks. When that happens the pro-
prietor knows that rain will come down
during the day, and as a rule it comes
down in torrents. The sign never fails
This presentation, or whatever you
may call it, which exists in many birds
and beasts may be explained partly
from the increasing weight of the at
mosphere when rain is forming, part
ly by habits of living and partly from
the need of moisture which is shared by

to despair of her future, so long as her
people do not abandon hope. An element

pie are upheld by that consciousness of
right which is tower of strength in it.

er culture endows them with all the DOW
er of resistance that such inward posses
sion implies. Besides, there is still some
hope that the monarch, to whose broad,
human sentiments the initiative of the
recent Peace Commission was due, will
guard the country against serious evil.
Indeed. it is said that even in Russia,
among the royal liberal circles. there is a
pronounced sympathy in favor of Fin
land. Everywhere the danger threaten
ing this able and well-beloved member
of the European family of nations is
painfully felt. At the same time it is
hoped that the popular expression of
sympathy will not only inspire the people
of Finland with hope, but will also work
a lasting impression upon the bareau-
cracy of Russia For no gentry can be
permanently Indifferent to the unanimous
moral vote of humanity at large, irrespec-
tive of nations and parties. If, therefore,
the Finish question may be regarded as
one affecting all mankind, America sure
ly will not be content to stand in the
background. Should not the valiant and
legitimate struggle of an able nation in
behalf of constitutional liberty and higher
culture meet with the sympathies of the
American people?"

THE CHARLESTON REUNION.

The recent reunion of the Confeder-
|ate veterans in Charleston was. of the
four which we have attended, in our
opinion, decidedly the best To begin
with, Charleston is of all places in the
south the most appropriate city in
which to bring together the survivors
of the Lost Cause; for it was within
her borders that the gigantic struggle
of thirty-six years ago had its incep-
tion--it was the birth place, as it were,
of "The storm Graded nation that
fell :" and like pilgrims to. Jerusalem
and Mecca, the grizzled old warriors of
thirty odd years ago must have been
animated by the same feelings as those
pious travellers, as they trod again the
soil SO intimately connected with their
blasted hopes. Unlike Nashville and
Atlanta, the Confederate spirit, with
out being disloyal to the stars and
stripes, prevails in this city by the sea !;
and in the very atmosphere which they
breathed, the veterans felt the inspir-
ing principle of the past. We had often
heard of Charleston hospitality and
cordially, ircidents Of its refined, cul-
tured and well-bred society, but our
Experience with these charming peo-
pie far surpassed our expectations. We
have never in our life passed a week
more pleasantly, entertained as we
were by some of the most noted fami-
lies in the city. We shall always have
a tender place in our heart for this
ancient municipality, for it, Richmond
and New Orleans are the only real rep
resentatives of the old south. **x

COMMON POLITENEss.

Dir. Glenn says In Wesleyan
Christian Advocate: Everyone
who has been thrown with them
generally has experienced some
thing OF the pleasurable influence
OF Q polite man or woman, or boy
or girl. The presence of polite
person is a perpetual contribu-
ton to the happiness and strength
of the world. 1t not only puts
people in a good humor, but tends
to make them look up and reach
out after the better things of life.
Everyone is more or less disposed
to invoke blessings on the petite
individual in whatsyer relation of
life he may move.
On the other hand, the beorish,
Grabbed, discourteous person car
ries gloomy and miasmatic clouds
with him wherever he goes, and
people approach him as seldom as
possible, and get away from him
as soon as possible. He awakens
depressing emotions and often the
most disagreeable and damaging
resentments. Blessinge never as
sociate themselves with such
man in the mind of anyone, and
it is often, hardrto keep down the
impulse to invoke the opposite.
Two gentlemen met in bar
Der shop not long ago, the one an
officer of the state and county,
the other man Ct large expert
ence in national and even inter
national affairs. The latter said,
in substance, to the state officer:
II like to go into your office. You
and your men, are always SO po-
lite that it is a real pleasure to be
about you" The official thanked
him and said, eyes, we try to be
polite to everybody, and We
ought to be. Politeness costs
only little healthy exercise, and
is worth great deal. 1t facili-
tates business, and makes our
work pleasure" Then, after a
pause, he said, 81 have had to
turn off two or three young men
who, | found, were not disposed
to be courteous to people, and
whom could not induce to change
their manners. / will not have
man in my Office who will not be
a gentleman"
This conversation was very
pleasing to our ear, and though
the parties perhaps did not know
that what they said was noted or
would ever be recorded, and yet
we give it this publicity because
it was healthy and inspiring, and
because we hope that it may COM
municate itself to some other in
dividuals and offices and may be
a benefit to them. There are-l
many offices and business houses
into which it is a pleasure to go.
The atmosphere is always invigo-
rating and helpful. But there
are some others where-well, we
never go to them except when we
are compelled to go. And then
we always want a good brisk walk
for some time after. in the open
air, SO as to be thoroughly disin-
fected in body, mind and spirit.
Cultivate the grace of at least
what is known as common polite
ness, and then add as much as
possible.
