VIt is often said that the laws of SOO- ial :etiquette consist rather in stating what ought not ti, be done than in what ought to be done, The most common breaches of good manners are commit- ted by those whose actions interfere in one way or another wit,h the rights or pleasures of others. Tlrouv,htlestmes--- shall we not. rather my selishness; lies at the root of so much of wretched, Hess and unhappiness of the world! We .all can help bear another's burdens, to a great extent, by making our inter. course with our fellows one of courtesy and sympathy-the one cannot exist without the other. It begins with the wee ones. They are never too young to learn to respect mot only one another's rights, but those of parents and dependents, to be unsel iljslines and affectionate, one toward atv other. Hence they early learn to lis- ten attentively, or, at least, with a show of attention, when their elders are speaking to them; they also learn that to interupt, or not to give a fair share of attention to their companions when speaking, is selfitsh, and is to be guilty oi rudeness. As they grow older, they see for themselves chat absent alluded- .ness is impolite. They learn thatieven if one is bored, cruortesy demands that the well bred man or woman-be it in parlor, lecture hall, or church-should still listen and do their best to apprec- iate what is_being said. It often hap- pens that the attentive listener is more 'ndmired than the brilliant talker. Upon the same principle, they are taught to avoid the seMish thoughtless ness which leads some people to forget themselves, as they cluster. together, two or more of them, in the middle of the sidewalk or of a store; or at the en- trance of some public place, to the in- convenience of passers-hy. At old Mount Holyoke boarding schooi, in days gone by, there were two rules strictly enforced; the one was that upon girls meeting in halls or corridors one party must turn and walk on with the other; there must he no clustering and thoughtlessly blocking the way for others. Those girls, one may be sure; always carried out the same rule upon the street in after life, thereby display- ing a. mark_of good breeding. The other rule was that no scraps of papers or litter of any sort was to be thrown out of the window to fall upon the lawn beneath. This is something that even guests are occasionally guilty of, though not, if their Childhood’s training has shown them the seltishness of it. And so it is; but they are manners of the heart and mind, ruthertlmn a mere lip or hand service taught by form and acquired by money True social culture is based upon politeness, good temper, and true heartedness, where kindly fiel- ing and wmm consideration for every one are returned with good wishes and good fellowship. This being the case, the fault ie distinctly with us if we are not instinctively courteous when it thus hes within reach to le so. If we choose to strive to bass all our actions and movements upon unselfish motives, the Izétbit of doip, so will lmve been formed are we are aware, and We will do the, right thing at the right time, politely and graciously, as unconsciously as we draw our breath. Habit is second na. ture, Comparatively few will be the occasions of stumb'ins,r over some of the written or unwritten rules of social eti, quette. These have all had their origin in the feeling of kincilinees and sym- pathy toward our fellows; and conse- quently that instinct will usually be suffieient to guide Might.‘ There are some rules, however, which vary with circumstances and conditions, as in dir. ferent countries, and "tdiferent epochs in the same country; but, even if one stumble over these, it may be gracefully done, so to speak, for one whose move- ments are always, at heart, actuated by politeness will not be. readily erubar- rassed, owing to his habitual calmness in the consciousness of ldoing what is right. The days are gone by for children to be taught; to say "Yes, ma'am," and q No, ma'snr" These are now used on- ly by menials. A polite deference of manner must, however be impressed upon them to keep them from giving any impression of pertnoss or too great freedom of manner. These children, when they fiad a stranger upon enter- ,ing the room, will not stare, or bite their nails, or edge up against their mother and inquire in a whisper who the stranger is, eyeing him suspiciously all the time. Neither should the tnoth- er have to say, "James, are you not go- ing to come and speak to Mr. Blank l" No! The wise mother, will accustom herself to notice the entrance of her child, and either then or at the earliest available moment afterwards will say gently, "James, let inc introduce you to Mr. Blank," or, “Mr. Blank, this is my little son James," always taking This is why wise and gentle mothers inch and poor alike, consider it one of their greatest responsibilities and pri- vileges to look well after the social up- bringing of their sons and daughters- 'first, in the home circle, in their man- ners and deportment one to the other; and next to the outside world. The: Education of Children for Society. We often hern- the expression. "She has seen good soeiety," or, "They are a family:of good social standing." What is theZmPaning of "society"? It is gen- erally understood to be a world in which manners play an important part. Thus, as such children grow up,their father will have taught his sons that what most characterizes a gentleman is thoughtfulness for others. They will have learned that the gentleman ‘not only refrains from saying or doing any- thing, either at home or abroad, which he knows is questionable, but that he also refrains from anything which oth- ers may consider questionable. They have long ago learned that such bits of toilet performances of cleaning or cut- ting the nails, picking the teeth, or pulling out stray hairs elsewhere than in the privacy of their own dressing room is grossly rude, and no 'Excuse me,' or 'By your leave,' will make it al- lowable. They know that it is selfish, ness which hinders a mau's taking the trouble to stand aside to let a lady pre- cede him entering or leaving a room; or which keeps him in his seat while she is standing, be it in parlor or rail- way train. They always, as young gentlemen,;remove the hat not only when meeting an acquaintance on the street, or on coming into the house, but at Other times, or when tendering a seat to a lady in a street car. and, again, when she acknowledges the kind ness by a bow or word of thanks; when meeting a woman on a staircase, or in an elevator, or a hotel corridor; or when kissing thehmothet' or sisters. They attend to the graceful custom of rising when a lady enters the room and of re- maining standing until; she is seated; of opening the door. or gate for a lady, and then stepping aside while she en- ters, These they have been accustom- ed to do for their mother and sisters, and they now give grace and 1inish to the young men's demeanor. These children do not disregard the courtesy that is often neglected by girls and boys in the matter of sending a note at once to aeknowledge a gift, To delay is like delaying to say Thank you.' if the donor Were pierent. The gift may be only one of flowers, sent because one hasjust cume tome, or is just going away, or in “new, or for a birthday. Then do not but}, Oh, I shall we Frank or Lucy Soon, and I will wait until then to empress my thunks,' but a polite little 'sore-a sim- ple one with a. few “(lids of thanks, or perhaps a pleasant word about the choice of flowers is "dded-is sent at once, and then if the. donor comes there is no objection to speaking again about them. The mother, also, will have taught the daughter, both by example and precept, that it is selhishroess and indelicacy which permits a girl to talk about her personal affairs in This mother, will take great, care to impress upon her children habits of personal nearness---ttaaching, them,even while little, how to do things for them- selve, sucths brushing their own teeth and hair, until they will usually tuke a pride in it, and will not be satisfied if tinger and toe nails are not kept clean and trimmed, and shoe laces and but- tons in order. Reining; steadily in mind that she does not wish to make prigs of her children, but to have them good, natural, healthy, and happy, her wise mother-love devises many and many a way of helping them to remem- ber their politeness in the midst of oth- er things. Nor does she ever forget to point out to them that it all means kindness to others, and unselfishness on their own part. Then, for instance guiding their table manners, she will have them make n practice of observ- ing whether their neighbors require something which could be passed J? helped to them, and "Mother, I think Florence would like a little more fruit," will be received by an approving, smile from mother, and a grateful “Thank you" from Florence. This mother will also watch over her children’s voices, showing them that a coarse or shrill voice is no part of the lady or gentleman, and furthermore, that no one ever need have other than a. gentle, clear tone in speaking. Her children will not need to be shown the rudeness of letting it shop door shut in the face of the next comer: Her young daughters will instinctively shrink from the woman who reads her let- ters upon the street or street car,- who drops her purse, her gloves, her hand- kerchiof, 1n " public place; who appears unduly anxious to: tell the names of distinguished persons to whom she has been introduced; or who takes pains to mention the fact that she has been abroad, or to California, or the World'ts Fair, for the sake of impressing those around her with a sense of her impor- tance. These young girls will be quickly able to judge of the manners of a woman (whatever her heart may he) who dresses conspicuously; who talk of her 'gentleman friends' or her 'lady friends'; who talks much of her: 'mam, mu and papa' instead of 'my mother' or 'my father'; or if she be one of those women who have formed the habit of kissing each other in public places, for has not their mother shown them that A kindJoolr, a. warm pressure of thehand a tender inquiry, are all that is tleCeSli- any! care to present the younger to the old- er. The child will come forward with alittle hand extended and a look of welcome on his Gee, and murmuring a .ittle word of greeting; then, unless he Is detained by the stranger. he will pass quickly to his chair, or to other occu- pation in the room. How much em- barrassment and ackwardncss in later life may not such a mother spare to timid children if she train them in this wa.) in early years. ASTONISHMENT OF HIS CLIENT and all onlookers. Just as Barnaby concluded Bruce, whispered in the ear of his client, "lie got him; your case is safe!"arsd approaching the jury he commenced his reply to the slaughter- ing argument of his adversary. Bruce gave a regular history'of the ancestry of his red-coated witness, proving his patriotism and devotion to the country and his character for truth and veracity 'But what, gentlemen of the jury,' broke forth Bruce iuZu loud strain of eloquence, while. his eyes tlashed fire, ‘what are you to expect of a man who stands here to defend a cause based on no foundation of right orjustice what. ever; of a man who undertakes to des.. troy our testimony on the ground that my witness wears a red coat, when gentlemen of the jury-when-when, gentlemen of the jury-here Bruce made a spring, and catching Barnaby by the bosom of his shirt, tore it 0pm, displaying hiszgred flannel-Coen Mr. Barnaby himself wears a red flannel coat concealed under a blue one?" "The effect was electrical. Barnaby was beaten at his own game, and Bruce gained the caso." "This is a beautiful morning, Mary,” said Mr. Fulton graciously as he took his seat at the table at Farmer Hum- sted's select country boarding house. The daughters ure educated also by her example that to dress ftthe plea. sure and admiration of one's family is to dress well requires less an outlay of money than it does attentive care and thought. Their mother has always in, sisted that their appearance at the first meal of the day should be tasteful and neat. She allows them to use jewelry very sparingly, and never in the morn, ing at home, on the street, or when shopping, They know that while a well chosen ring will adorn any hand, a number of rings is in questionable taste. They are encouraged by their mother to cultivate the natural charms of youth by means of fresh air, good exer. cise, plenty of well-cooked cereals, and an average amount of physical work, which bring with them health. happi. ness, content of mind, and give to the body nature's own beauty, which is most pleasant to look upon. The re. sult of such an upbringing is that her daughters are a constant source of do. light to their painstaking mother-well bred, quiet, and refined' in puhlic; bright, natural, and affectionate in pri- vats. Any man is proud to be Been with them, and could select them from a thousand: public places. Thry are taught that the refined woman guards her hearth- stone, its annoyances, its sorrows, its joys, as carefully as she does the sa- credness of her religion. Even if her heart be heavy, she knives at. all times to give to the critical public a cheerful Gee and manner. Me tells Mow " (Tlunllmz om Lawyer “as Benton by Ills Own Taetics. One evening a convivial party Dan- ielWebster and other distinguished lawyers were present, and the C0nver- sation happened to turn on the legal profession. “When I wnsayoung, pram- Ctioner," said Mr. Webster, "there was but one young man at the New Hampshire bar of whom I was afraid, and that was old Barnaby. There were but few men who dare to enter the lists with him. On one occasion Barnaby was employed to defend the title to a. piece of land, his opponent being'alittle, mean, cunning lawyer named Bruce. Bruce's case was looked upon as good as lost when it was asoer- mined that Barnaby was retained against him. The suit came on for triai,and Barnaby found that Bruce had worked hard and left no stone un- turned to gain the victory. The testi- mony for the plaintiff was very strong, and unless it could be impeached the case of the defendant was lost. The principal witness introduced by the plaintiff wore a. red coat. In summing up for the defence old' Barnaby com- menced a . FURIOUS ATTACK ON THE WITNESS, pulling his testimony all to pieces, and appealing to the jury if a man who wore a red coat was, under any circum, stances, to be believed. "And who is this reduooated witness," exclaimed Barnaby, "bat a descendant of our common enemy, who has striven to take from us our liberty and would not hesitate now to deprive any poor man of his land by making any sort of a red. coated statement," "During, the speech Bruce was walk- ing up and down the bar greatly excitr ed and convinced that his case was gone, knowing as lleadid the prejudice of the jury against anything British. While, however, Barnaby was :gesticu- lacing and leaning forward.to the jury in his eloquent appeal his shirt bosom opened slightly, and Bruce accidentally discovered that Barnaby wore a red un- dershirt. Bruce's countenance bright- ened up. Puttingihis hands in his pockets he walked to the bar with con- tiderice, to the "Yes, sir, itis," replied the wait ress.
