Why, they are right down there somewhere. 1 wus ns ing them not five minutes ago.’ The Major warfcjpd them to trim off a horse blanket at the barn, and he marched into the sitting room and up to the family work-basket. 01 coprse they were there. He turn bled a ball of yarn, a paper of pins, a hall-made garment, a button-box, and a pin cushion off on the floor, made a dive among the bodkins, worsted, threads and darning need les, and the shears did not turn up. He stood the work basket on its head, but it was no good. Then he went over to the what not and raked off three or lour photographs, rats tied down a lot of shells and knock ed off two books, but the shears were not there. He was red in the face as he went ro the hall and call ed out: ‘I can’t find hide nor hair of them, and i don’t believe yon ever had >*ny.” ‘Now look again—that’s a good man,’she replied, ‘I know they art right there.’ Tb.e-(Major got down on hands atul knees and looked under the lounge.

Friendship should be encouraged, not discour aged. Never say anything if you, wouldn’t have your words repeated. Bat, beg pardon, perhaps you never did say much of anything. Never try to equal the smartness of your smart interlocutor. It is not his province to recognize smartness in another, but to astonish with his own. Never tell all you knew to a stran ger, even if he regale you ever so copiously with his affairs. Think you he would be more careful of year reputation than he is of,his own. Never Buy, when retiring, “I will get up early to morrow,” for doesn't the. (iaod.Book say all liars shall have their parts, etc ? . Never jam your finger in the door; for to swear is neither bruve, polite nor wise. Never call a man a liar; for the eye is a tender organ, and the sense of viston a precidus one. Never ask a lady to piny u'pon the piano unless you intend to be polite enough in listeu At tier playing. Af ter having talked incessantly during her performance— Never add hypocrisy to boorish- n< ss by seeming to 1 be pleased with what yon thought more contemptible than ydiu Contemptible prattle. Own up that you only asked her to piny out o.» politeness, and failed to listen out of impoliteness. Never read your literary prodne tibns fo another unless he press you ‘fo redd them./ Rymembef the golden fuly. ?■.. Never refuse the fruit wlje.n it first- passed you, bu^iiQj that all wifi show thfcir politeness by taku..g 1 In* enialk^-Uiferiwr apples wt)d- pears, leuVhig 'he best for yours«lf th- next ft tile ron^ri4-'*' only is*tfl1s tileao, but 5 you ,to'ijy.*yvere3’'tUh^te the'pblde iies.s^)f yotii dionyauy. Nrver look ot*'r the ahouldrr of u iMKo who is writing. Uuve tnuid.up* On your health ; he may furget him- SHI. Never pin the mucilage brush in your tnksraiid. Trite, the temptu- tinu is great; bu' remember that oloe luirss is nexf to godl ness. NeVet attempt to wipe an origi nal ar icle unlrkH your ceissors are sharp. Everybody lik- * an incisive writer. Never talk of vouriolf in a couati v wiieie forty ndti millions ol people are bent on talking oT themselves. Never ask u question unless you iiitei ed to pny attention to the an- sw*r. There is no pleasure in life comparable *° the joys of airing our knowledge. Give your friend nchance to air his. Hewitt love you with a love surpassing that of a woman. Never say that you have heard lie- lore what your friend has evidently taken great pleasure in telling you. His delight at finding you equally well informed with himself may not be so great as you bad imagined. Never look a gift horse in the mouth while the donor is present Alter he is gone it is a duty. The proper study lor the horseman is the horse. Never ask for n second picoe of pie, little boy, unless you are sure of getting it. It is the best uot to get people in the habit of refusing you things. Never muke any distinction in your horse-car gallantry in favor of youth and beauty—if you can help it. Never tell u secret to a woman If you can’t keep it yourself, why ex pect she will be able to keep it herself P Never say dye to a barber. Let him alone for starting that subject or he is not the barber we take him lor. Never fret about to-morrow’s weather. If to-day's weather is pleasant, enjoy it. You may be so fortunate aa to escape to morrow’s storm by getting smashed on the railroad or blown up on the steam boat. Never tell u falsehood when you may just as well keep your mouth closed. Never—that is hardly—. Beg par don, but wonder this did not hap Pinafore. to The Ton Prosperous States. [Cincinnati Sun.] The States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis sippi, North Carolina, South Caroli na, Tennessee and Texas are known as the cotton states, since thb cultiva tion of cotton absorbs the labor of the husbandman in that region of our country. The total population of the ten states in 1870 was 8,223,000. The close of the war lound them im poverished. Their property* was de stroyed. We of the north next overran them with carpet-baggers, who stole from them, interfered with their state gov ernments, oppressed them in many ways. The inhabitants ol the cotton stiiteR waited as patiently as they had fought courageously, and at la&t re gained the control of their own af fairs. From that time the onward marc); of the cotton belt, towards (lie most unprecedented prosperity lias not fullered from ani instant. The year of 1878 whs a prosperous one for them, and they justly rejoiced over thp result. For the year undjng on June 30, 1870, rhe domestic exports from the United Statea umpuiued in .value to a total of $718,003,777. Of'thisvuR sum the ten cotton states', ftnh then- scanty population, rtre credited with $ 102$04,250 fiyV their cotton 'alone. Ov r 22 per cei:L of the'value of our exportation was .'vueiveu. for a .crop grown by lejoct20,/per Ot'uur population. • w ' * T’bt- ASi-nCt-ft-t-i’ -of V: rginht'ff'l^Vatjb’d $20 ?

Let us make life one broul smile Iwuys having 11 little of the cheer* fulness in our countenance to bright- n 'he weary way ol lhe unlor unate ml cheer and lighten the loudened art of the afflicted 'and sorrowing There is a time to lie sad, and a tune to tie Wis*-; m lime in which 10 love, and a time to despise, a time >r laughing as well as for Giving, the latter is not generally practiced at purler entertainments); n time for living us well as for dying; a tune for mirth as well ns lor sedateness; a ime for nonsense us well us for great ness. Amiability i9 shown in the counte nance; a beauty of the highest order is acquired by having the counte nance habitually under the influence ol amiable feeling, and in the fre quency or unfreqnency of these in dulgences greatly depends the form ing of a plen8untor unpleasant coun tenance, the indelible frown or tho cheerful smile. An amiable soul al ways wears a beaming smile, which is ever reudy to broaden into joyful laughter, and often bursts o«t, tilling the room with the stimulating and priceless medicine of cuchinnution. The following illustration will show what, if laughter were put to a test, it could do for a person. It is stated of a certain prominent man in Scot land, who, lying at the point of death with an iuternal tumor, seeing his man-nurse asleep in the chair, and not being able to call him, raised a pillow and struck the somnolent watcher in the face with it. causing him to wake suddenly and with great fright upset himself with the ehair, making such a noise as to cause the doctors, who were holding a consulta tion in au adjoining room, to rush in a body to see what was the master, ’l he scene appeared so indicrous to the dying man that he laughed so heartily us to break the tumor, there by saving his life. Give ns mirfhfnlness and laughter —not a vialful, not a glassful—hjit a big hearty soulful; it is good fgr spleen, for dyspepsia, for hysteria, fallen fortunes and melancholy for tens of thousands of aches, pains and irritations of humauity. I recom mend the never-failing remedy of cachinnation, and harmless, humor- ous or witty remarks that would en dure the luxury is not to be despised; even small talk, if it be pleasant, timely and to the point, has its place iu the highway of life. There is a time when it is folly to exhibit wis- dorn when a little nonsense and droll saying is very palatable and when st-dateness and gravity ought to be kicked out of doors. A physician would cut a poor figure in a ball room unless he left his professional language at home, but we have seen men who are above all this who were too wise and lofty for humorous talk: they were all sapience on gravity. ' ‘With mirth and laughter let our wrin kles come. W by should a man whose blood is warm within Sit like a graudsire cut in alnbastor? Unwise.
