Fine manners show themselves for
midabe to the uncultivated man. They
are a subtler science of defense to par
ry and intimidate, but once matched
by the skill of the other party they
drop the point of the sword, and the
youth finds himself in a more trans
parent atmosphere wherein life is &
less troublesome game and not a mis-
understanding rises between the play
ers.
Manners aim to facilitate life, to
get rid Of impediments and bring the
man pure to energize. They aid our
dealing and conversation as railway
aids travelling, by getting rid OF ali
avoidable Instructions of the road and
leaving nothing to be conquered but
pure space. These forms very soon be-
come fixed, and a fine sense of prOpri-
ETY. is cultivated with more heed, that
it becomes a badge OF social and civil
distinctions.
Besides personal force and so much
perception as constitutes unerring taste,
society demands in it's patrician class
another element which it significantly
terms good nature, expressing all de-
grees of generosity, from the lowest
willingness and faculty to oblige up to
the heights of magnanimity and love.
The secret of success in society is a
certain heartiness and sympathy. A
man who is not happy in the company
cannot find another word in his mem-
DRY that will fit the occasion. All his
information is little impertinent A
man who is happy there finds in every
turn Of the conversation equally lucky
occasions for the introduction of that
which he has to say The favOrites of
society and what it calls whole souls
are able men and Of more spirit than
wit, who have no uncomfortable ego
tism, but who exactly fill the hour and
the company, contented and content
ing, at a marriage or funeral ball
or jury, water party or a shooting
match.

Emerson on
|bakeSpeare

Shakespeare is as much out of the
category of eminent authors as he is
out of the crowd. He is inconceivably
wise; the others, conceivably. 4 good
reader can in a sort nestle into Platos
brain and think from thence, but not
into Shakespeare's We are still out
of doors.
For executive faculty, for creation,
Shakespeare is unique. No man can
imagine it better. He was the farthest
reach Of subtlety compatible with an
individual self, the subtlest Of authors,
and only just within the possibility of
authorship.
Things were mirrored in his poetry
without loss or blur. He could paint
compass, the tragic and the comic in
differently and without any distortion
or favor He carried his powerful eX
ecution into minute details, to a hair
point, finishes an eyelash or a dimple
us firmly as he draws a mountain, and
yet these, like natures, will bear the
scrutiny of the solar microscope.
| Shakespeare, Homer, Dante, Chau
Ger, saw the splendor of meaning that
plays over the visible world, knew that
tree had another use than for apples
and corn another than for meal, and
the ball of the earth than for tillage
and roads; that these things bore a
second and finer harvest to the mind,
being emblems of it's thoughts and con-
veying in all their natural history a
certain mute commentary on human
life. Shakespeare employed them as
colors to compose his picture. He
rested in their beauty and never took
the step which seemed inevitable to
such genius-namely to explore the
virtue which resides in these symbols
and imparts this power. What is that
which they themselves say? He con-
verted the elements, which waited on
his command, into entertainments. He
was master of the revels to mankind.

Prud ence

Prudence is the virtue Of the senses.
1t is the science Of appearances. 1t is
content to seek the health of body by
complying with physical conditions and
health Of mind by the laws of the in
tellect.
Prudence does not go behind nature
and ask whence it is 1t takes the laws
Of the world whereby mans being is
conditioned as they are, and keeps
these laws, that it may enjoy their
proper good. 1t respects space and
time, climate, want, sleep, the law of
polarity, growth and death.
Nature Furnishes any neglect of pru-
dence. If you think the senses final,
obey their law. If you believe in the
soul. do not clutch at sensual sweet
ness before it is ripe on the slow tree
of cause and effect.
In regard to disagreeable and for
midable things prudence does not con-
sist in evasion or in fight, but in cour-
age. He who wishes to walk in the
most peaceful parts Of life with any
serenity must screw himself up to resO-
luton Let him front the object of his
worst apprehension, and his stOutness
will commonly make his fear ground
less.
Truth, frankDess, courage, love, hui
mility and ali the virtues range them
selves on the side of prudence or the
art Of securing present we'll being.

Stray Thoughts
By En- erSOr7

Men cease to interest us when we
find their limitations. The only sin is
limitation AS soon as you once come
up with a mans limitations it is all
over with him. Has he talents? Has
he enterprise? Has he knowledge? It
boots not Infinitely alluring and at
tractive was he to you yesterday, a
great hope, sea to swim in; now you
have found his shores, found it pond,
and you care not if you never see it
again.
Behold there in the wood the fine
mailman! He is a palace of sweet
sounds and sights. He dilates, he is
twice a man, he walks with arms
akimbo, he soliloquizes, he accosts the
grass and the trees, he feels the blood
of the violet, the clover and the lily
in his veins, and he talks with the
brook that vets his foot.
Every appearance in nature CORE
spends to some state of the mind, and
that state of the mind can only be de-
scribed by presenting that natural ap-
pearance as its picture. An enraged
man is lion. cunning man is fox,
q firm man is rock, q learned man is
a torch. A lamb is innocence; snake
is subtle spite. Flowers express to us
the delicate affections.
Colleges have their indispensable Of
fice-to teach elements. But they can
only highly serve us when they aim
not to drill, but to create; when they
gather from far every ray Of various
genius to their hospitable halls and,
nv the concentrated fires, set the
hearts of their youth on fame.
What is the hardest task in the world?
To think. l would put myself in the
attitude to look in the eye an abstract
truth, and l cannot l blench and
withdraw on this side and on that. [
seem to know what he meant who said,
mo man can see God face to face and
live"
A man cannot speak but he judges
himself. With his will or against his
will he draws his portrait to the eye Of
his companions by every word. Every
opinion reacts on him who utters it.
Truth is our element of life, yet If a
man fasten his attention on a single
aspect of truth and apply himself to
that alone for a long time the truth
becomes distorted and not itself, but
falsehood, herein resembling the air,
which is our natural element and the
breath of our nostrils, but if stream
Of the same be directed on the body for

TRANSPORTATION Facilities.

NORTH Gottlieb Saphir, a journalist,
and one of the wittiest men of the
Jewish race in Germany, once criticised
King Ludwig's verses so sharply that
he was ordered to quit Munich within
twenty-four tours.
The~court chamberlain waited upon
the journalist, and asked:
'Do you think that you can get
away in that timer
'Yes, l think So" Saphir said; "but
if my own legs can't take me quick
enough, I'll borrow some of the super
fluous feet in his majesty's last volume
of verse. "--Household Words.

Is not prayer study of truth-a sal
ly of the soul into the unbound infinite?
No man ever prayed heartily without
learning something. But when a faith
full thinker, resolute to detach every
object from personal relations and see
it in the light Of thought, shall at the
same time kindle science with the fire
of the hottest affections, then will God
go forth anew into the creation.
He'who does a good deed is instantly
ennobled. He who does a mean deed
is by the action itself contracted. He
who puts off impurity thereby puts on
purity. If man is at heart just, then
in so far is he God. The safety of
God, the immortality of God, the maj
esty of God, do enter into that man
with justice.
Idealism sees the world in God. 1t
beholds the whole circle of persons and
things, of actions and events, of coun-
try and religion, not as painfully ac-
cumulated, atom after atom, act after
act, in an aged creeping past, but as
one vast picture, which God paints on
the instant eternity for the contempla-
| ton of the soul.
Under the general name Of commod-
ity l rank all those advantages which
our senses owe to nature. This, of
course, is benefit which is temporary
and mediate, not ultimate, like it's
service to the soul. Yet, although low,
! it is perfect in it's kind and is the only
use of nature which all men appre-
bend.

Danger of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and grip
is their resulting in pneumonia. If reason
able care is used, however, and Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy taken all danger will
be avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease, It will cure a
cold or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by j. T. Bennett.

his position being that of catcher,
and right well did he fill his part
until an accident compelled him
to put in another man. Mr. Cum
ningham visited THE HERALD of

Hall, and was very much surprised
to find us so well equipped. He
said no had no idea tina. such an

come so much attached to the
mountain people that he feels more
at home here than on his native
bluegrass.
