Backing Down.
A man look umbarge at on ailu' i
which appeared in a paper publish
ed in the town in which he resided,
as personal, the other <lay, and in
an irate manner entered the office,
and inquired of the first one lie met
who wrote that article, showing the
paper, and pointing to the one in
which lie took exceptions. _
“Said he,” (raising his voice in a
loud key, and with clenched fist
high in the air), “I want to see the
editor that wrote that article.
“You do,” answered the young
man interrogated.
“Yes I do,” answered the stran
ger, angrily. “It is satisfaction I
como for, and will have it, and be
fore I leave ,hcre, too; do you hear
and understand that i
“All right,” said tho young man.
“But before I call him, I would like
to ask you if you ever saw the gen
tleman before.”
“No, of course, not,” was the sav
age answer. “Why do you wish to
know?”
“O, nothing very particular. I
thought if you did you would not
care to sec him ”
“That’s just what I come for,
young man; and there will be fun,
you bet.”
“Well, nger, I tell you before
hand, lie is a powerful man, stands
six feet two in his stockings, weighs
near two hundred, and owns two
fist that strike tremendous blows; |
when angry, his eyes flash fire; his
tread is like an elephant, and he
can lift a threc-hundrcd-pound
weight with perfect case, and top it
over his shoulder as easy as I could
a base-ball. No one dare approach
him in angry mood, for they would
be in danger of their lives. He has
held an elephant’s trunk for ten
minutes, ca’n put his arm around
the neck of a ho:si a'd turn him
over with comparative ease. Ho
lias done powerful things,l tell you,
stranger, Besides, lie always car
ries a six-shooter, and is an excel
lent shot, scarcely missing the bull’s
ey e one time out of twelve. Stran
ger, he is the counterpart of Sam
son of old.”
During the young mans brief re
cital of tho personal of tho editor
that wrote that article, the stranger
turned very pale, trembling all over
backing all tho time towards tho
door, out of which lie suddenly
darted, and has not been heard of
since, doubtless deeming it wiser to
depart quietly than to encounter a
formidable opponent.
Our Girls.
It, is a study worthy of an artist
to look at a group of our Southern
girls sitting and talking together in
any public assembly, or a private
party at an evening gathering.
There is in the girl of only fif
teen or sixteen years of age, so
much genuine grace and case, dig
nity and self-possession of manners,
that it astonishes while it pleases.
They know exactly how to smile;
the polite smile of constrained at
tention, the happy smile of pleased
attention, the sweet smile of glad
welcome to some fortunate arrival,
and the polar smile of iced dignity
on one who intrudes upon a favor
ed companion in a tete-a-tete.
We reflect, do these sweet and
happy faces carry their sweetness
and happiness into the home-circle?
Is it smiles or fretfulness. there?
The first duty of politeness is to be
polite at our homes. The first law
of amiability is amiability to father
and mother,'brother and sister. The
most beautiful charm that can
adorn character is the charm of a
tender reverence, a sweet affability,
a loving sympathy, a polite and
graceful demeanor in the privacy of
the home- ircle.

Man was kreated a little lower

It is dreadful easy to be a phool
