Life will always be to large extent

makes its own little world The cheerful

In this country, which is the grandest
on earth in great many respects. we are
not sufficiently instructed in the art of
manners. We are rather gruf and
some times unapproachable. Manners
do not make the man, as the old pro-
verb says. but manners makes the man
much more agreeable. A man may be
noble in his heart. true in his dealings,
virtuous in his conduct, and yet unman-
nerlv. A eentleness Of manners gives
the finish to the true gentleman. By
good manners we do not mean etiquette.
This is only conventional set of rules
adopted by what is called good So
cietv,' and many Of the rules of ETH
queue are the essence of rudeness. Et-
tiquette does not permit genteel people
to recognize in the street a man with a
shabby coat etiquette is liar in its
mot at home" ordered to be told by
servants to callers at inconvenient sea-
sons Good manners includes many
requisites, but they chiefly consist in
politeness, courtesy and kindness. They
cannot be taught by rule, but they may
be taught by example.

Old age, like time, wears off the gilt,
and like the gilded furniture of ancient
date, people also, become tarnished. At
first the whole future is overlaid with
gold. How brilliant it is. AS the boys
and girls grow up the gilt and glitter
grow dim, until at last with the journey
done, we stand, the present laid bare
before us--no gold there-the trapplngs
of the hoped to be musty and forgotten,
the brilliancy of attainment dimmed and
Corroded. And only this is left to us.
that far away in the past the golden
glow still hangs over the days of long
ago, and for some of us far in the future,
a golden mist hangs Just beyond the
sunset, where the piling clouds form
gates of pearl

Mark the young man who is coarse
and disrespectfu to his mother. No
roseate pathway can be hers who shall
sustain 10 him the relation of wife. Not
the happiest will be the lot Of those who
shall come to be his children Not to be
envied is the neighborhood even in
which he must be reckoned with as a cit
Zen. 1t does not matter what the
mental status of that mother is, how old,
or how bent she may be, or how de-
crept, the man to whom she is mother,
owes her gendeness. kindness, tender
ness and consideration Did she fall
back and did the children with superior
advantages pass her in the race But
think of her tolls and trials, her devotion
and self denial, her mind and her years
tha. she gave, that her children may de
rive the benefit Think of her sacrifice
-no wonder that she fell behind, with
her heart in her home, in the buds that
were hers. There is no rank, no sta
ton. no condition that may exempt d
manly man from kind regard for his

Don't let ali of the sunshine in nature

The citizen., 1912-05-17


Young man, 90 10 work. There is
no time to be idle now You must carve
out your own way in the world if you
would carve it successfully You must
carve out your own way through energy,
perseverance and pluck. Labor is hon
orable, and the ignoble are those who
will not work. Get you a home. Fence
a field and plow it and plant it, and
gather around you the comforts Of q
home. And when you have made a
character for energy and thrift, ask some
young lady to share your home with you.
We would say 10 every young lady,
mark these men who are loungng around
and attempting TO live by their wits, or
on the interest OF their debts; and when
they ask you to share the lot OF an aim
less lite, pass them on, for YOU cannot
afford TO marry man without prosperity
or business habits, unless you wish TO
sell Yourself for a mess OF pottage.
Again we would reiterate, young man,
go to work While ten men watch for
chances. one man makes a chance.
While ten men wait Tor something to
turn up, one turns some thing up; so
while Ten fail one succeeds and is called
a man of luck, and the favoiite of fort
une. Luck and fortune is the result of
honest endeavor, work and toll, and if
you would succeed, go TO work.
There is no happiness in life, there is
no misery like that growing out of the
dispositions which consecrate or desc
crate the home, Home should be SO
truly home that the weary, tempted heart
could turn to it anywhere on the dusty
highway of life and receive light and
strength. What blessing it is when
weary with care and burdened with care
and borne down with grief and sorrow, to
have home to which we can go, and
there in the midst OF friends we love,
forget our troubles and dwell IN peace
and quietness. Home is the chief school
of human virtue Its responsibilities,
Joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes and
soIicitudes form the chief interest of
human life.
Some times a persons tongue gets

known to have been bitten by strange
dogs at Claymont, Thursday, an in view
of the fact that the animals, judging
