GOOD MANNERS NEED EXPIRES

What is the good of being gold, if
you look like brass?"
The accident of being a superinten-
dent, manager or Overseer does not
give you the right to abuse those
who, being less fortunate than your
self, happen to be under you. Your
position is no excuse for being arbi-
trary AMI offensive to any one. The
hUmblcst man on woman in your en-
plOy may be infinitely your superior
(as many Il servant is far superior to
his or her millionaire MASTERY, and
much moro successful than yourself.
Gentlencss and consideration for 9TH
ers, not arbitrary selfishness, are the
touchstoneS of all true greatness.
One of the great barriers to real
success is the fact that there are few
people who Il bear prosperity.
Many youths are ruined by promo
ton. As Don as they begin to rise
they become Otficious and unbearable
in their conduct.
We help to develop in others, if we
come much in contact with them, the
qualities which are dominant in our
selves, as Like begets like" We
often e a kind-hearted, loving wife,
by her patience and gentleness, chisel
off the rough corners of her uncouth,
ignorant OF brutal husband, who be-
came like a granite block in the hands
of the sculptor who chisels it into
symmetry.
Persons with suave and gentle man
ners, though not noted for goodness,
are often preferred to those who
pride themselves on being good at
heart, but disregard smooth manners
and ~gentlenesS.
1t is therefore of the greatest i'm
pOrtanCe to form early the habit of
being gracious. Good maner are
worth a fortune to the p~OssessOr, and
it is therefore cruel to rid a child, in
its early life, Of the opportunity of
acquiring the expression of a kindly
heart.
1t is easy to distinguish a man or
woman who has been trained in pO-
likeness from one who has grown to
maturity before having the advant-
age of fine examples, of coming in
contact with superior models. 1t is
impossible to cover up, late in life,
an early deficiency in m~anner-train-
ing.
1t takes years of hard work to learn
the delicate principles of poetry, and
how can one expect to become an ar
fist of good manners without years
of painstaking in the technique of
this grand art?
1t is as necessary to learn how OF
express kindly feelings in a gracious
way as to possess them.-Success.

A WIFE'S INFLUENCE.

J0okers-On often see the wonderful
influence a wife can exert for the
GOOD or failure of her husband. By
a gracious, genial manner she may
win hosts of friends for him. In
nearly every walk of life, where he
has to look to the generous public
for a livelihood, she can help him
make the yoke easier and the burden
lighter. A powerful factor in the
world of business to-day is found in
the influence of woman. She it IS
who stands by her husband when the
darkness and gloom of trouble and
depression have settled about him,
and infuses hope into him, and points
the way to a new beginning, no mat
ter how small. She is willing to re
trench in any way to relieve the sad
ness and dependency that are wreck
ing his life.
This is sure to be so where love has
entered into the sacrament of a union
of two hearts. With the knowledge,
the help and the strength that come
from a husband and wife thoroughly
understanding one another, and
working in cooperation, marriage
becomes a veritable heaven on earth.
One of the greatest mistakes is that
of forming a union upon a money
basis. Of course, there are many
mercenary women who can and do
marry for a home and for rich raj
ment, but the kind of feminine heart
q man desires to beat beside his own
is one that cares more for the little
attentions in which sentiment is in
vOlved, than for great offerings rep
resonting only a sum Of money. Be
fore marriage there should be praC-
teal talks which will result in a thor
Ough understanding Of the financial
basis upon which the future house
hold is to be run.
A wife to have influence must never
deceive her husband in regard to the
use of money he intrusts to her. A
man always likes to know that in his
wife he has a real helpmate-a part
ner who takes care of his interests in
the home when he is absent.
Before everything else a wife has
Il right to expect from her husband
tenderness, sympathy and faith.
Sympathy and tact are the qualities
husband and wife should cultivate.
It is after marriage that the depth
and funness of love is tasted and tried
to the utmOst.-Ledger Monthly.

OLD DRESSES.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE :--Thisi is the sea-
son when many old dresses will have
to be renovated either from choice or
necessity and I will give a few hints
along that line that have been help
full to me and may prove so to others.
When it is necessary to clean a
wooden garment it is always best to
send a valuable one to a professional
cleaner; but henrietta cloth, cash
mere, serge and such goods, if Of
good quality, may easily be cleaned

INTERESTED IN FANCY WORK,
MUSIC AND ART.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE here I come
for the first time but I feel like
would like to have a few words with
you. [ like The Progressive Farmer.
and especially am I interested in the
wOman's work. I like to see our
women trying to do something for
each other and I think we ought to
do all we can to help encourage and
raise our farmers to a higher stand
ard. My husband is a farmer and 7
an a new house-keeper.
[ like fancy work and would like
very much to have some sister tell
me something pretty to make: for T
think it nicer to make u own mic
lures, mats, rugs, etc. I am very
fond of music and art. [ play and
draw but do not have as mucb time
to devote to that work as I would
like.
hope some one will write some
on the subject, the habit of exaggera-
ton. SO many people make this evil
mistake and perhaps if a few words
are said against it it will cause some
one to quit exaggerating. Let US try
to live upright lives and obey Gods
teaching.
With sincere good wishes to you
all, close. DENTON.

thousands of credible witnesses that
many a sheep had to be slain by the
soldiers in self-defense. The same
strange malady had attacked pigs,
geese, turkeys and chickens long be-
fore. A portion of Fits cavalry,
being thus assailed, slew and ate six
or eight sheep belonging to an Anne
liza farmer, broke into his COR crib,
and, p~arching the corn on the cob, so
strengthened the inner man that they
were able to fight next day like their
old barOnial ancestors, whose mouths
had once been filled with bOar's meat
and red wine. A small company re
turning not long after, the old man
left his pillow in the furrOw, and,
shutting up to his wOrm-fence, in
quired if General Lee had gained an
other victory. They replied, mo,
no, old man, all is lost; the Yankees
have whipped us at last, and General
Lee has surrendered 4 don't be-
Iieve a word of it." replied the Old
Virginia farmer. General r. E. Lee

that man, Fitz Lee, they call Il Gen
eral l am glad he and his thieving
cavalry have surrendered, but the
real General Lee never surrendors -
and returning to his Old Watts pillow,
the last they heard was, addressing
an old w~all-eyed, switch-tail bag of
bones, "Well Skcwball, you arc all
the Yankees left me, but we'll tickle
our good Amelia ground and make
bread for Kitty and the children.
Wen win the fight yet. General Lee
hasn't surrendered it's only that
hummer Fitz!"

James L. Kemper, the gallant soldier
who, leading his division up the rug
ged sleeps of Gettysburg, fell shot
nigh to death, lived afterward to ut
ter as Governor of the Common
wealth these words at the Inaugural
ton of the statue of StOnewaT Jack

Sooner shall the sun G his
course in the heavens, than his COM
rades and his cOmpatriOtpcople prove
recreant to the parole and contract
of honor which binds them in the
fealty of freedom to the Constitution
and union of the States. We have
buried the strifes and passions of the
past We now ~perpetuate impartial
honor to whom honor is due, and,
STOPPING to resent no criticism, we
stand, with cOmposure and trust,
ready to greet every token of just
and constitutional pa~cifcatiOn. While
calmly differing as to the past, neither
will defle its record each will assert
its manhood, its rectitude and honor,
and both will equally and jointly

glory, of a common and indissoluble
