when a wayfaring man 1 says.
"Yoa-have a very pretty town,
but your hotel is miserable," it
is a bad slam on the town. He
leaves it with a bad impres
sion, and he don't want to go
back any more. If he "visits a
place with a good intent to lo
cate or buy' some property, a
dirty hotel makes him home
sick and in a bad humor, and
you can't get a good trade out
of him. A man - told me not

showed his cigars and asked
the i rivilene of placing his
brand --in ' "the show ' case for
trial, lie did it so nicely and
was so pleasant that the mer
chant could not refuse. 1 was
in another store and a young
man came in to show his
samples of cutlery, and he, too,
was so polite the merchant had
to humor him, although he did
nut wish to buy. Civility pays,
'.'oliteuess pays, good manners
and trood breeding pays. We
may admire a diamond in the
rouuh, aud there are people with
Mi.' hearts ana rough manners,
hut after all, pleasant and
a ree'able manners are the best,
'lheya'ire the best among the
ladies. 1 know from experience,

Weil, the truth is, I didn't lite
him m everlaatii.g much for I
thought him a little too dogone
obsequious and my wife ought-

the women appreciate it more
than the men. JNiy wile says

like a stump aud simply say,"
jny dear you have dropped your
handkerchief. Just so Anno
K'linini will tell nevertheless
I don't like to see politeness
overdone. Bill , Jones was
mighty polite and was very
toml of escorting Mrs. Goulding
n dinner or sapper at the hotel
.vh Captain Goulding was
away in hia Hleamboat. Wei
she. thought it was nothing but
Keiitleuiauly politeness and so
accepted his invitatioua. The
plain came in unexpectedly
oue evening , ana as tWll w.as
prancing along with Airs. G. to
supiver, he grabbed him by the
coiiar ana gave him a twist and
a turn and kicked him about a
rod, and remarked: "Now,
.-logon you, go and get a wife of
your own." I have known
many a good, solid young man
boycotted by the girls because
he lacked manners.

Qeu'leniss a gentle fjiinted wilt
heaid i bis incident once said re
vivalist Sam Jones in a recent ser
m on, and it impressed me verv ,
much. Five gamblers sat gambling
and the clock struck 12, and 1, and
and directly one of the gtmbleis
poke up and said: "Gentlemen,
you can play on if you want to, but
my precious wife Is at borne right
now watcbipg and waiting for me
to come home. I have gor the be6t
fein tbe world." "Well," said
the oi !ers, "everv man says that."
wbjI, said he, "my wife known J
amour gambling, and who ..am
with, 1 expect, but she's so good
thai if I was to take you four men
to the house right uow and ring
tbe door bell, and she came to the
door, and I was to tell her to go
and cook supper for all you gam
Were, she'd do it iu a spirit of gen
tlene and with a smile on her
face." "We don't believe it," they
all exclaimed. 'Wellj you all come
aud see."'
And be took tbe gamblers to his
bouse, rang the door bell, and bis
lie let them in immediately, anil
ber husband introduced. ber to all
tbe gamblers, aud said: Wife, we
have been gambliug until late, aud
we want joq to go and prepare
snpper for nn." And tbe wife said
"Husband, the fire is cut of the
stove, aud cook bas gone borne,
but it J ou'il be sealed and patient.
I will get it as soou as 1 can," aud
ith a smile on her face, she pre
pared the supper, called them in,
and watted on the table with
smile on her face: aud wbeu the
bad finished the meal one of tbe
gamblers said: f Your hqshvpd told
us be fore-we (same what you would
do, but we didn't believe, him, aud
now I want to ask you a question:
How can yon be such a wife to such
a husband!"
And she said: "Gentlemen1, 1 have
prayed for that man for twenty
years, that God would save bis soul
but I bave lost all bope that be
will be saved- B is going to a
world of torment, and I am going
to make bis lire in this world as
pleasant for bim as I can." The
gambler looked np and over at ber
husband and said: "Sir, how can
yon be sack a husband to such a
good loyal wife as that!"
And tbe hnsband jumped np and
said: "Gentlemeu, Lear me. My
wife has won me to her Saviour
touigbtand 1 bave settled tbe
question. I give myself to her God
and her Christ to night,"
And tbe iuoident goes on to relate
that her husband afterward com
menced preaching, and, that
he was tbe preacher that won the
four other gamblers to Cnrist."
