About Mannetib.
In spite of philosophy and scien
ce, in spite of common schools and
colleges, in spite of the church and
Hum fay-school, there lurks within
each one of us the savage the Scrip
tures aptly name ” the natural
man.” Culture of the heart and
head may tone down his ruder in
stincts, and make his methods of
expression more subtle ;but how
ever refined he may become superfi
cially, he is of the earth, and nearly
related to his humble kinsfolk,the
beasts. He Ims keen appetites. He
hates bother. He loves his case ;
and without his ruler and guide,”
the hidden man of the heart,” he
would speedily reduce manners to
the etiquette observed among the
four-footed folk,who enforce respect
for their individual rights by a vig
orous use of teeth and claws. ln man
tiers, even in the mostempty forms
of etiquette, there is an expression
of the higher nature of man, for
they delicately express his recogni
tion of his own dignity and the
dignity of his fellows.
There is something essentially of
the nature of benevolence in good
manners.” Pleasant words,” says
Solomon, ’’are as honey-comb ; sweet
to the soul, and health to thr hones.’
It is a mistake to regard them as a
mere accomplishment. They are
more than/that, even when the mo
tive that prompts them is self-love
or self-interest. They havens abso
lute value as the bread and eoal a
man may give his neighbor because
lie is secretly anxious to have his
generosity published in the morning
papers. Few human beings areself
yentcred, and there are many men
and women whose estimate of them
selves, and their ability to do any
thing good or useful in the world,
is powerfully influenced, by the
treatment they receive from (heir
acquaintances, If they have limited
means and narrow culture, they are
intensely sensitive to the smaller
courtesies ofsoeial life. It is usclc -s
to say they are foolish. They cannot
change what they call” their feel
ings,”or then - natures,any more
than a cat can clothe herself in
feather s. To them a word,a smile, a
little kindly interest, areas \ it.d a id
valuable as food is to a hungry man,
A certain perception <>f beauty
and fitness,or, as Emerson chara
cteristically names it, “measure,“is
expressed in tine Dinners.!liven this
poreeplion, which is partly intellect
ual. partly sensuous, and a shallow,
selfish man may appear to be well
bred under favoring circumstances.
Hut the good manners that are an
outward expression of an inward
state have certain qualities the
counterfeit never have, and one o
them rs tender tact in the bestowal
ofsoeial mercies. I once saw a good
hearted but foolish and ignorant
woman made very wretched because
when she had moved into a strange
town it well-to-do neighbor called
upon heron a rainy day and wear
ing a rubber cloak. “ Mrs. Blank
would not have called the first time,
dressed in that way, upon any other
woman living on this street,” she
Wept, and she was right. There was
in the lack of formality a covert but
certain indication of the low place
she occupied in her neighbor’s
esteem, and a woman of finer breed
ing and feeding would have spared
her the humiliation of knowing it.
Fine consideration and sympathy
are ingva'md in good manner .
When 1 was a school-girl I was one
Sunday the guest of a girl friend. At
church my friend's f 'thvr met an
fdii mini i-r whom ho had know?,
years before ill the country village
where he wi. horn, and he brought
the old gentleman home to dine
with him. A shy. delicate man.it was
evident the minister had been w ill
ing to serve in the waste ]daces of
the Master's vineyard, where the
hire was small and the laborers few.
for his clothes were pathe'ieallv
shabby.and the simple elegance and
formal serving of the dinner bewild
ered him, and made him nervous.
With tbefruit some finger.bowls
were brought in. and after eyeing
the one bv fib plate a “moment.he!
laised it to his lips and drank oit j
the water. “ Excuse me ma'am" In
said , touching it with his withered
fingers.“ I never raw such pretty
clips before. What do you eall them'?
I would like to buv one for my little I
girl."
They arc plain ruby bowls :1
think that is what they are called.” ;
said the hostess, sipping from he r '
own.“Do not buy one ; 1 have a very
pretty one I should love to sendio
your daughter, if you will be kind
enough to accept it.’’
There was not the moving of an
eyelash. The host glanced at his
wife with loving pride, and followed
her example. Even Master Torn,
aged six. who was ready to laugh
on all possible occasions, and was |
always making inopportune re
marks, gravely from his fingerbowl,
and slipped, down from hjs chair
wltnout <i word, and f heard him
say afterward
mamma have lovely thoughts!
Hhe’s going to give him that pretty
big cup, that’s just like a fingei
bowl with a handle to it. Oh, l hope
he’ll never know what those howls
are for!”
How sweetly patient and calm
arc gentle manners! Courtesy is
often finest when negative; when
instead of seeking to entertain
others, we let them entertain us.
It is a small thiHg to be silent,and
it is often the kindest thing we can
do for a man to let him talk. Gentle
receptivity puts the shyest and
most timid man at ease and at his
best,and to do that is finer pleasure
than detailing one’s own notions
and experiences in the most elegant
and happy periods. Do not be in a
hurry. Emerson says, ’’Hurry is
for slaves.” Ah ! the slaves who are
bought and sold in the market-place
do not hurry. It is the greedy
man, who is free to keep all he can
lay his hands upon, who hurries.
I do not like to go North, because
the men there are in such a mighty
hurry they cannot be civil,”* a
Boutnern man once said before me.
I am not sure that a finer sense of
the sweet kindness that is one of the
springs of gentle manners would not
Fiave softened this criticism, for
the sake of the Northern woman,
alone among strangers, wholistened
to him: hut to a eanpid mind not
puffed up with vainglory the
criticism is suggestive. No doubt
the great prosperity of the North
maybe partly owing to the push
and energy necessary to live in it
and developed by the rigor of its
arcticwinters ; but there is hurry
which is mere clatter and noise
This sort of hurry never accompa
nies the great undertakings of
strong men,but is characteristic <>l
small minds and weak nerves. It Is
rarely graceful or gracious, and al
ways robs courtesy of its finest
charm.
A dignified reserve is a quality <>t

of thought that leads one to talk of I
himself, and to describe bis various |
aches and pains and the remedies
he has used to alleviate them, but
it may be vulgar and self-absorbed
.-elfishness. If I have a headache,
shall I seek to make the day d'sa
greeiible to my friend, and consume
liistime,telling him the nostrums
I have used to cure it? Nay. It may
be lie is sufi'erirg a neuralgia, of
wnieli he is to generous, to complain,
and if 1 mustialk, let me tell him ol
the pleasant time 1 had yesterday
or last week. Women are great sin- j
ners in this respect, and, so far does
a morbid desire for sympathy carry j
some of them, they talk about their
ailments even to gentlemen, with j
the most amazing (rankness. If one
is ill, let him enter into his cham
ber, and send for his.family doctor,
and, in the name of ail that is
pleasant and'decent, let him. keep
his pills’ plasters, powders, and
blisters out of sight.
To this category of sins against
manners belongs the almost univer
sal habit of complaining about ser
vants. If one makes or receives half
a dozen calls in a'nafternoon.five out
of six women one meets will con
sume the time relating their afflic
tions with their servants, till, after
listening to their long wail of fault
finding and grumbling, one is
tempted to cry out, “I wish you
had no servants ! I whish you had i
to work with your own hands till
you learned the value of these
humble helpers, and sympathy
with their mistakes and ignor- j
anoe.” With parlors and witlidraw
in-grooms tastefully adorned, why
take vaur friend to the kitchen?
Why show him the dish-pan, the
size of the potato-parings slop
bucket, and the amount of lard
onsumed in the article of pie?
You have a garden full of roses and
lilac }•: nerhnps lie loves flowers,
and lives where he cannot raise a
spear of grass: let him enjoy
yours. You have a library ; perhaps j
he loves books: lot him look at
them and touch them at his ease.
No matter how pleasantly he smiles’
lie bears his secret load of care, and
if there is a bright place in your
home •ov life let him enjoy it. Dp
not take him, to the kitchen and
grumble about the maids; it if
possible that when lie is at home
poverty compels hihi to serve him
self. in weariness of body and vex.
ntion of spirit. Above rli. keep the
and >or olthe closet in which is secret
ed the fanily skelton Under lock and
key, and if possible'-Y-onceal the
door with graceful drapery. Unless
the home is a sanctuary where the
pain, the weakness, the mistakes,
! and fa’hires of each member of the
j household are sacred,.it is nothing.

Rev. A. B. Lawrence, pastor Se

his duty to state,that having suffer
ed several years with inflammatory
! rheumatism,and having tried in
vain all other remedies, he was in
duced to try Sr. Jacobs Oil,the mar
velous pain- cure, which, after con
; tinned use, cured him entirely.
Mr. Prank Lanier, of Chalybeate
Springs, is the boss one-horse
farmer of 1884. Eight bales of cot
ton, 100 bushels corn, 300 bushels
pats, 50 bushels peas, 200 bushels
potatoes, plenty of meat, chickens,
turkeys and other good tilings.
Tins is the way he worked it in
1884, notwithstanding the drouth.
Besides all this his wife sold $25
milk and butter from the cow,
after supplying the family with an
abundance. One horse and a ten
year old boy was the only employ
ed labor.
