A Simple Formula To Practice
(iood Manners Ourselves.
There is but one way that I know
of to tench good manners to cliil
dren;gooi mnnners.that is, that are
worth the practicing and are not
mere polish and sham and hypoc
risy; but one way, and that is oh
simple formula! to practice good
manners ourselves.
It is a simple means; it does
away with worry, with anxiety,
with tedious training, with mortifi
cation and a hundred other ills;
and yet, it is the means we most
neglect. All over the land, un
thinkable women are still saying to
the casual guest: "How good for
you to come! Oh, no you are not
late. Well, it doesn't matter a bit;
but to the child the old formula:
"What did I tell you! Don't let
me have to speak to you again.
"Thomas, shut the door!" and a
hundred other inexcusable crudi-;
lies.
In speaking of good manners. I
would not have you think 1 refer
only to that ease and graciousuess
of manner which we are wont to
call politeness. The crudities we
display in dealing with our children
affect, unfortunately.far more than
their outward deportment. They
influence harmfully the mind and
spirit as well as the manner. Our
contrasted manner toward him and
toward strangers cultivate in the
child an indifference to the truth;
they leach him insincerity; they
give him a standard of crudeness
and unkindness which are at vari
ance with the standards of high
minded and noble people. These
failures and inconsistencies of ours
rob him in a hundred ways. They
wear upon his nerves as only il
logical, i.rationnl, unharmonious
and and inconsistent things to do.
The child brought up in a home of
crude manners goes into the world
graveiy crippled, harmed and han
dicapped He has been robbed
before he begins his journey.

SWETHEART HE LOVED.
Molly is fixin' ter marry Jenny is hvin' away
An' the boys hain't been back at the ol' home in many an' many a day.
An' somehow the spring's lost its sweetness, an' lonesome an' long
fall the snow,
An' nuthin' is left but the piciur' ol the sweetheart I loved long ago.
I never was one fer complainin' but sotnethin' seems lost from life's
skies,
An' often in sunshine it's rainin' it's rainin' eround toy ol' eyes !
Fer here's whar their arms was eround me an' here's whar she
smiled on tne so,
An' all that is left is the piciur' of the sweetheart I loved long ago.
The medder still Feels the lark's shudder, an' frequent I hear the birds
sing,
Jest as ef nuthin' had happened ter all the red roses of spring !
Jest as they sung at her weddin'. Hut how kin the singin' birds know
That nuthin' is left but the piciur' of the sweetheart I loved long ago ?
Nuthin'? Thar's Molly u-comin' an' bringin' a rose ter me Well.
Life's story's tol' over an' over, 'til' nuthin' is new thai we tell.
Her arms eroun' my neck, an' her blue eyes in tears at my i.ikin' on

Kiss me, dear fer you're jest like the piciur' of the sweetheart I loved

Ready for church, on the in rrow, you know .
Washing wee faces and huh hl.ick Hms,
(letting them ready and fit to he kissed:
Watching them listen with childish delight,
Putting them into clean garments and white,
That is what mothers are doing to night.
Spying out rents in lutle wo; ,i hose,
Laying by shoes lhat are wi-i'ii through the the toes;
Looking o'er garments so fa led and ihin;
Who but a mother knows w liere to begin?
Changing a button to make it look right,
That is what mothers are doing to-night.
Calling the liltle ones all round her chair;
Hearing them lisp their evening prayer;
Telling them siories of Jesus of old,
The Shepherd, who gathers the lambs to I lis fold,
Thai's what mothers are doing to-night.
Creeping so softly to take a last peep
Silence the token of childhood's sleep;
Anxious to know if the dear ones are warm;
Tucking the blanket round each little form;
Kissing each liltle face, rosy and bright,
Thai is what mothers are doing to-inghl.

HEAL COMPETITION.
The story of the rival bootmak
ers, which appeared recently, is
matched hy a correspondent of an
hnglish paper equally worth re
pealing. It concerns . two rival
sausage-makers. Again, they lived
on opposite sides of a certain street,
and, one day, one of them placed
over his shop the legend :
"We sell sausage to the gentrv
i and nobility of the country.
The next day, over the way, ap
peared the sign :
"We sell sausage to the gentry
and nnl.iluy of the whole country "
Niu in nf imtdiinr, ihe nvnl p n
up wii.it iie evidently regarded as
a Kii.ii statement, namely :
"We sell sausage to the King "
Next dav there appeared over
the door of the first sausage inak r
the rixple expression of loyalty :
"( iod save the King."
