1111 How a Standing Collar Won n Suit. All tilings me fair, bo it is gener ally thought, in war, a horse trade, or in a law case. It is probably on that bad rule that the late President Lincoln acted when lie defeated an antagonist before a jury. The anec dote ia tlinn told by Or. Bateman: lie was often pitted against emi nent lawyers during trials in the Sangamon comity Circuit Court. On one occasion he was opposed to a very able advocate, who made a pow erful, cloquont and convincing speech to the jury, and Mr. Lincoln saw that it had been very effective on the mindfi of the jury. The gentleman, moreover, was a man who was very precise in his dress, as well as man ner and oratory. But Mr. Lincoln hud been observ ing him, and saw a Haw in his usually faultless attire. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said “Old Abe,” when he arose to speak, “the gentleman who has just spoken has made a strong argument, lie has quoted the law and evidence, and it is not for me to say that he is wrong. Ho may be correct in all lie has said. But 1 want you to get a good look at him. Is>ok especially nt the upper half, and then, gentle men, tell mo if any man who comes before you with his standing collar buttoned ‘wrong end up,' with the points sticking away out behind his cars, may not be altogether mistaken in all bin arguments. The plan was successful. Mr. Lincoln had broken the spell which the eloquenco of his opponont had thrown over the jury. Hammer and Gavel. More than forty years ago, n writer in Willis, Current Nolen enquired, whence is derived tho proctico of the ehuirmun at public mootings calling to order by tho rapping of a ham mer? And tho ntiswor was that the origin of tho Presidential hammer as a symbol of authority is supposed to he sought for in tho Mjolnor of tho mighty Thor. This is generally supposed to bo the correct doriva- • tion, nor is it to bo doubted that the gavel of the Master of a Lodge, with which ho preserves order, was bor rowed at an early period from the usage of other societies. But when the Masons adopted it, they changed its shape, and gavo it it a peculiar symbolism. Tho gavel of Masonry, is a stone mason's hummer and takos its its namo from its fifrin. Bo Courteous. Thera nro a thousand little courte sies and salutations and compliments of life, but it would ho woll if there wore still mora of them. Bluntness does not moan honesty, and recogni tion of whatever is good in men docs not mean sincerity. It. would he promntivo of happiness if every time men descended in tho morning they would look for that which is comely uml praiseworthy, and singlo it out and toll it. to their wives. Oh, i men would only court aftor they are married as they do before, what joy thero would bo! What praise there would bo distributed in the commu nity. ________ * Home Manners. Good mnnnors are not learned from arbitrary teaching so much as acquired from habit. They grow upon us by uso. Wo must bo cor- toous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentlo- nmnly mid womanly at. home, and then it will soon become a kind of second nature to bo so everywhere. A oouvso, tough nature at homo bo- gots a habit, of roughness which wo can’t lay off, if wo try. whon wo go among strangers. The most agreo- ublo pooplo wo have over mot in com pany are tlioao who are perfectly agreeably at home. Homo is tho school for all the best things, ospo ciully good manners. Value of a Timely Word. A great deal of harm is done through forgetfulness. A little thoughtfulness and care with respoct to others would often save them a great deal of suffering, and aid them ni their work. A man is discouraged in consoquonco of tho ditlieultics he moots with. An encouraging word may bo all that ia nooessary to revive his energies, and to causo him to porsovere. That word was easily spo ken. Thero are those who are per fectly willing to speak it, but they do not think of it. Thoy are busy with their own work. The discour aged one sinks into deeper despond ency, not through their heartless- ness, hut their want of thoughtful ness. A young man is exposed to temp tation. He is about to take a step from which a little influence of the right kind will save him. There are numbors among his acquaintances who could exert that influence. But they do not seo his danger, or are so busy that, thoy must leave him to the care of his other friends. He takes the step and it leads him to his ruin. A little effort rightly put forth would have saved him. Shreveport is guarded on every side by squads of citixens, who com pletely encircle the town and keep out all disiufectcd visitors. A colored man who was lately re suscitated from what seemed death, hut, was only catalepsy, was enter taining his friends with the sights lie beheld in the other world. “Plenty colored brethren in Heav en, I ’spec, Tom?” “Oh, yes!” said Tom. “And* how about hell—any down there?” “Oh, yes, plenty ob dem dar too!” “Any white folks, Tom?” Lord save us, dar ain’t no end on ’em; but gosh, cberv white man done got a nigger holdin r between him and <le lire!” Gath, the correspondent of the Cincinnati Inquirer, interviewing a Southern editor, has this: “Which Houthcni State has the least influence on Houthcni respect, leaving out Florida and Arkansas?” “Kentucky has the least. Virgin ia has the most. Georgia has the ablest delegation in Congress. Gor don is the moat trusted man in the South. Aleck Stephens is the strong est in his locality. Lamar has drop- ]>cd behind. Ben Hill has not mental convictions, hut drifts between praise and passion. A little girl in •Savannah had a S old dollar given her some time since y her father, she prized it very much. When- asked the other day if she would not send it to the yellow fever sufferers in New Orleans, ob jected on the ground that as it was so yellow the people out there would think it had tho yellow fever, and would not. want it. Pa, give me a silver dollar and I will put that in I ho box. Hmart girl.—Savannah Recorder.
