COURTESY. Courtesy is not merely an observ- ance of the conventionalities of so- ciety; it is in reality founded on common sense and manly feeling.â€" An uncourtcous man is one of the greatest bores in the world. He ot- fends everybody, and instead of being treated with kindness and consideration by his neighbor, he is generally intenser disliked, and no language is sufficiently strong to express hisdemirts. To be cour- teous is simply to pay a proper de- ference to the feelings of others.â€" A well educated man is generally courteous. The fact of his mind been liberalisetNeaches him the ne- ccssity of exorcising‘ iis virtue. Be- nevolent men are alwhys courteous; the desire to give pleasure to others is sufiicicnt inducement for them to cultivate this good quality. just as easy to be courteous as the reverse- This time has gone by when bluntness was taken for a sign of honest). It has found that dis- honest men can be blunt and rude as well as honest men ; and compli- ments of deference to the feelings of others have ceased to be a mark 01 insinccrity. A person who is ha- bitually discourteous. generally pos- sesses but little sensibility, and he cares nothing for Wounding the feel- ings‘of Others, eXcusing himself by saying that he only Speaks about what he thinks; that is, to put Iortli his own private opinion, what- ever it might. be, no matter who- ther it would wound the feelings of his dearest friend. Of ecurse, it a person’s Opinion is requested, he must tell the truth; but even that, can be done in courteous language which Wlli wound no one. lfcour- tesy were more generally practiced, If ever there was a homesick it would be productive of the best Mutual civility among would be found a potent remedy for more than half the social evils that now oppress us. results. â€"...- LIFE VVI'I‘HOUT Loveâ€"We some~ times meet with men who seem to “think thatany indulgence in an af- fectiouatc feeling is a weakness.â€" They will return from ajouruey and greet their families with a dis. taut dignity, and moving among childreu'witl’i the cold and lofty splendor of an ice-berg sur- rounded by its broken fragments.â€" There is hardly a more unnatural sight on earth than one ofthose fa- milies without a heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friend- ship, and values sympathy and af- fection, would not rather loose all that is beautiful in nature’s scenery than be robbed of the hidden trea- sures of his heart? Cherish, then your heart’s best affections. lu- dulge in the warm and gushing af- fections of filial, paternal and frater- It is- and consistent adheraiice to good, sound principles. ' 'It'is a man’s right to chose for his daughters companions men that will be most likely to prove good hus- bands, rather than monied ones. 4 It is a man's right to consult his wife’s wishes ; or if that is some- times impossible, to show a willing- ne§s to make as light as possible the extra trouble she must endure for his pleasure. It is a man’s right to provide for his wife as unsparingly as be proâ€" vides for himself. And finally, it is a man’s right to be a man, without steeping to thi- undignified position of ‘finding fault with his wife, when troubles annoy his little mind. Snob men, instead of making slaves of their wives, would make COfnplll'I‘ ions of them, thus placing them in the most noble position to which they aspire. and for which their Maker purposed them. FEDERAL CIRCUMLOCu'riou.â€"â€"w ' How not to do it’ was :1 disagree‘ able common saying during the Cri‘ mean War, when the impediments and miseries of our English ‘Circuma location oflice’ were beingillustratcd by the sacrafice of thousands of pounds and hundreds of human lives. The worst histories of that period, including even that of the recovery ~ of the walking stick that was accid dentally left in one of the establish- ments under the management of the Admiralty. is left for in the rear by the Iollowing illustration of the Re- publican ‘ roundabout way’ oftloing things in the Federal army. as re- ported in the American papers.
