To act naturally is the first law
of etiquette. The next is to make
othefs feel at ease in your presence.
Politeness cannot well be acqmre'l
after maturity. It consists in a tie
sire to please, and although many
have had the rouglr edges knocked
off by contact wit h refined society
i and a studied rehearsal every day,
(the great majority of those wl j at
; tempt an outward shov.' of lood
pirceding succeed only in ui iki
j themselves ridiculous. Puli’pVi-i
j springs from the h”R , anti' i
i good acting on the . tLe
[felt to make itself felt. There are,
i however, a few little tilings that
(■ean lie practiced without study, and
their oEsdtvnnce will add very much
to vour deportment.
You should avoid the use’ of
words or the discussion of subjects
■it all remote, in the presence of
j those who may le your inferiors in
education or intellect,
Be careful not, to use the perpen
dicular personal “P’Jtoo much, it
betrays egotism.
Never correct any one in public
for the misapplication or wrojig pro-
nunciatiou of it word.
Do Tibi be ‘boisterous or loud in
your I&tJgiia&e, a hollow vessel
makes the greatest noise.
It is very impolite to show a dis
position to monopolize the conver
sation, particularly when there.arc
older and more experienced persons
present. A modest yielding with
out any show of impatience, will el
evate you in the estimation of all
present.
An observance of politeness and
courtesy at home, will make it a
matter of ease when abroad.
To say. at the tabbypass nun’ or

It is not proper to use your knife

You might with the same pfo|-iety.

your pace and drop in behind, and
it both should make the same move

It is not proper for a lady to bow
across the street in cities unless to
a very intimate acquaintance. In
country towns it is allowable.
lu conversation never anticipate
your companion's language or
thoughts by supplying him with a
word. A good listener is more
highly esteemed by a great majori
ty than a good orator.
On going into a Church, theatre]
or dinner, precede your lady, and ;
on c< ming.out let her precede you. j
As to which side you should take .
on meeting ladies on the street, you
should bt governed by convenience
on the part of the lady. If she
should be walking on the out.dde
of the pavement it would certainly
he an inconvenience to her to cross
over, and vice verAa, so the rule
should bo to pass to the side that
will least incommode her, while she
should keep her course undisturbed.

TIIE YOUNG MEN OF THE
SOUTH.
The following eloquent appeal to
the young men of the South, is
from the pen of Gen. D. H. Hill „•
“Now is the auspicious time to
begin in our desolate but still beau
tiful Ponlh, to correct false notions
about the servile nut re of work.’—
Thhse with us who have no need to
work with their own hands general
ly belong to that class who shrank
from the hardships of the march,
and the dangers of the battle-field.
Their purple and fine linen teH of
speculation and extortion, the wid
ows tears, the orphan’s wail and
*1 -■ d.ad soldier's bloc 1 l Awin’. 1
vuh them ! Pevertv is now iho
badge of nobility. It speaks elo
’•quently of heroism, patriotism,
oblivious of self and selfish interest,
generous sacrifice of everything
noon the altar of the eomlpfry. No.
blazoned coat of arms ever so plain
ly proclaimed honorable blood as!
does that old faded uniform. Take!
heed. O, ye heroes of many a hard
fought field, lost yon shrttdd bring
a stain upon your bright escutcheon
There is a Cowardice which shrinks
from duty as woil as a. co • nrdiee
which shrinks from danger. ’Tis
just as mi manly to fear “the
world's dread laugh,” as it is to
fear the shut and shell of an ene
my's battery. It is just as ignoble
to neglect the obligations at home
as to evade the Service owing to the
doiwtrv. You have been true to
the land of your birth ; be true bo
those who are bone of your bone
and flesh of your flesh. Your moth
ers, wives, (Mid sweethearts have not
J blushed for your want of manhood j
j in the field : let them not blush for
vour effeminnney And slothful ness
[at the fireside. But we believe hi!
the' enduring manhood of the South- j
soldier. We believe that he will I

privations and peril. He is no soft
ling to be crushed by hardships and
to be cut down by trouble. The
"lion in the path of tho timid an 1 ir
resolute is hut a contemptible cur
to him.”
Tuf. Douglas Slit.—The par
ticulars of the suits now on trial in
Chicago, in which the sons of Ste
phen A. Douglffsclaim certain real
estate property in that city, are'
published as follows: It is alleged
that Mrs. Do.pglas was indneed to
convey the property to one T hom
as $. 'r>o7oLins for the satisfaction of
merely nominal debts, with the un
derstanding, not expressed in the
deeds, that Dobbins was fb be sim
ply a trustee of the property for
the benefit of the heirs; hut Dob
bins, it is said, lias sold the proper
ty in his own name, and riot as
trustee, and appropriated the
cecTb to his owu use. It is further
alleged that Dobbins lias paid large
sinus of money to Mrs. Douglas.

POLITICAL FUTURE OF Pre
sident JOHNSON.
There is considerable speculation
at this time about the political fu
ture of President Johnson, if he is
to have any future in American
polities, A Nashville pap.or, iu »
strong article, prediets that he will
i'O the next Demooratic candidate
for Governor of Tennessee, and
elect id, and that lie will then suc
ceed Mr. Fowler in the United
States Senate, where he will be a
tremendous large thorn in the side
ol tno Radicals, He will lie an ug
ly customer to them, and giv<
them a deal of trouble. More im
probable tli ngs hare happened
than the carrying out of this prn- !
gramme. We do not believe that
it is the intention of Pregiden’
John-on to retire into *oh«euriiv
when he leaves tho lElu'te House
His mental structure is such that
lio cannot lead an inactive, useless
lifu. i! he were disposed to ; and
besides lie is strong and vigorou-u
both mentally and physically and
lias several years of hard work in
him yet. If he enters actively in
to politics in Tennessee ho ean rev
olutionize that State in spite of all
the Radicals ean do to prevent it.
On the stump lie is the most pow
erful man in this countryand Ins
can speak to the people as no oth
er man can. He has faith in the
people and faith in himself, and
ha® never yet been beaten in a po
litical contest. If he becomes the
D"mocr" tic candidate for Govern
or of Tennessee there will be live
lier times there than have bees
seen since the close of the war.—-
John Quincy Adams re-entered

The Art of Liriug
Living is becoming a problem
even in America, and a thousand
jnow schemes, or old ones under
■ new names, are proposed to solve if,
Until within a few years, high liv
ing has been so easy in this coud
try, food so plentiful, money so
readily obtained, that few realize
the possibility of a change which
would increaso values to such an
extent as to make care and econo
my, those two words about, which we
know so little, imperative, in order
to preserve a respectable status as
a nation and as individuals.
It is very hard for us to learn
economy, however, as a people wo
arc lavish and wasteful, eating
twice ns much as we need, throwing
a pay in the preparation and dispo
sition of food as much as we eat.
Lavish of fuel, lavish of light,
reckless of the residue of every ar-
tide of domestic consumption, ser
vants follow in the footsteps of th<i •
masters and mistresses, and learn
to throw away or to appropriate to
their own private benefit whatever
j the carelessness of employers place
witl in their reach.
The Atlantic Monthly recently
had articles upon co-operative
house-keeping, but we think a bet
ter beginning might bo made by
opening a crus ale against the sin
of national and individual waste
fulness. So long as this continues,
co-operation will do lit-le good; the
unthrjft and dishonesty which mark
the details of domestic life will bo
carried on upon a broader basis, a
larger scale, and tho advantages of
a co-operative movement, to which
individuality has been to a certain
extent sacrificed, mainly lost.
Let us try to cultivate simple and
less luxurious habips. Instead of
trying to got rid of work altogether,
use labor-saving machines and get
rid of the superabundance of ser
vants. Let women a least superin
tend their own households—find out
whore the leaks are, and stop them,
train children to less self-indul
gence and greater usefulness; less
to the idea of being fine ladies and
gentlemen, and more to the means
of earning au honest livelihood.
Earn your bread and then eat it.
Tins comprises the whole art of
living ; but don't buy and don't eat
more than you earn or more than
you need,— Exchange.
