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.

Utlt when til 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 We argue it Would do ho good,aud only harm, to cloud hoi perfect I satisfaction.

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, —N.
