We know the baby to be very
far from perfection— in fabtj it is
decidedly ugly; it will not do for
Us to tell the doting mother oUr
iroptession of her son and heir.
When she holds him up delight
edly, and excldims, "Is he ndt
pretty?” we haVe not the heart
to say that, in our estimation, he
is very ugly. We do Violeuce to
.our condience, and say, ‘Yes, he is
very pretty.” We must say some
thing, for silence would be con
structed iuto dissent. Or course,
we told a deliberate falsehood; we
did not Wish to hurt the mother’s
feelings on a point tender with all
mothers, so we did eVll that good
1 might come of lt< We must be
careful, howeVef, dot to eXpiess a
contrary opinion to our frieuds,
bearing in mind people are some
times disposed to malicious repeat-
log.
We see the carriage dreven (ip

and her numboroiis ‘olive branolt-
We would rather be put iu

hate to entertain an troublesome a
company at lunnli an Mm, Jones

lady blurts out, ‘1 did not Ifrtow
Whether you wanted to see us oi
unt,' what can we shy but yes, we
are Very glad to see Mrs. Junes
and the children even though we
said one moment betore as we saw
her read,round face at the carriage
window, ‘-1 do declare, how pro
voting I There is that horrid Jones
woman and those detestable Jones
children. 1 wish they were at the
bottom of the Red Sea." Then we
clear our face ot its I row ns nod go
smiling into the parlor, amt kiss
Mrs. Jones and each little JoDes,
and respond with warmth, to Mrs
Jones' remark, we are Very much
pleased indeed to see herself and
her interesting family.-‘-What are
we to do, we say; We cannot Is:
impolite to a visitor, and must be
polite even at the expense of truth.
A friend asks our opinion con
cerning tbs beamy and becoming
ness ot hCt new bonnet. We have
said iu private We thought it a
-perfect fright' and made Mr
Brown look ‘hideotts.’ To the
wearer of the bccnOt we say in
response to her query, ‘It is very
pretty and becomes you exceeding
ly.’ We had too much tender
ness and tow much* politenVis ti
tell her that herr fifteen dollar bt>n-
yet was anything but a hive of
bonnet, we did not wish to rimke
her dissatisfied with her purchase
and plant thorns amhl the ruses
which were heaped on the crowd

only harm, to cloud hoi perfect

conceit of a new bonnet, and we
did not desire to see Mrs. Brown
in tears in otlr par lot. We told a
falsehood, of course, but our mo
tive was good and we quieted our
conscience.
The old gentleman who unin
vited takes tea with Us every night
is warmly welcomed, although we
daily preface him coming by wish
ing him‘at Jerico.’ Tho distant
cousin, who writes a yearly letter,
announcing a visit of indefinite
length, receives a reply, it will
give us pleasure to see her. We
had been looking forward with
dread to that letter, and said a
dofcen times “what a bore 1 ' oitr
coilsin's visits were, and how we
wished she was a distant cousin in
mote ways than one. We could
not, of bourse tell her, her visits
wete unaccepable; she was entitled
to politeness, even if we hud to
pay it at the expense of truth. It
would uot do to tell the awkward
young mad who spilt the couteuts
of the gravy dith over our best
silk dress what Ohr fbellug rtre to
him, We accept his regrets smil
ingly, aud blandly say it is not of
the slightest consequence. At
home we rave over the’ accident
and cao find no words strong
enough to spedlt of the awkward
ness of the young.
While these falsehoods are dic
tated by politeness— good thlug
in itsell—they give an air of insin
cerity to our words, aud ways,and
a leeling of insincerity even with
our best friends. It Is to be des
plofetl that human nature is so
sensitive that it shrinks from the
the truth, the whole truth, aud
nothing but the truth; and a pity
that so pure a thing as politeness
is compelled to' walk hand in hand
with so foil! a thiug as falsehood,

“If I Join tHo Church, May I
Dunce.”
“If I join the church, have you
any objection to my dauciug?’’
Such Wat the question of Mary
W-* ,addressed to her pastor,as
lie Was speaking to' her about mak
ing a public profession ot religion
She was about eighteen years of
age, ot high standing, intelligent,
cultivated, thoroughly a lady in
feeling nnd manner,and surround
ed by alt that makes life attract
ive and pleasant.
Having been IrUpefUlly convert
ed,after much thought and prayer
she had decided to Uolte herSelf
with the ohtirCh of which Mr. A—
was tlfe pastor. But before so do
ing, she asked him in the conver
sation ulhfded to : ‘'If I join the
church Mr. A - 1 , have you any
objection to 1 my dancing ? I am
very fond of it, and (eel very un
willing to give it- up. What do
you think ot it 7"
“I will answer your question by
another," said her pastor. 'Sup
pose there was a large and lash-
ionahle party, or u public hall in
town, and you wOVe invited to it,
And atippoMr you' had accepted the
luvilalton,' liwt that,going at rath
er a late hbtSV, as you eulerud the
room, you found dll engaged in
the dance, uMll that you saw mo,
your pastor, taTfiVig part in it, and

dancing is right and a good tiling ! After.severrl years of a vejv good
why should I not enjoy it ah well ■ Matured, loose way of doing business;
as you? And if in its tendencies
it is wrung and evil, why should
you engage in it, or wish it tiiore
than 1 ? A tniuistor is but a good
itian trying to do good to men.
And there are not two standards,
ohe for hint, and another for his
Church members; not two rllles of
Christian living, one for you, and
another for him. If ha is to lie
spiritual, aud set a holy example,
and to come Out from the world
and be separate; dnd shun world
ly amusements,ar* not you ? And
if such amusements are right and
proper for you am a follower of the
8uviour,why are they not for him?
And why * should you, or any
member of the church, wish trt
be or do what you would not like
to see him be or do?”
Rhe thought a moment seriously
and then said : “It is plain to nio
now. I will netfer dance again 1'
And ! she never did.—Sabbath.
