t ioiigiit oi you so much since yon t.ft
that now I h;tvo a little leisure, I wish'
to call your attention to one or two
point,., which I purposely omitteil from
our conversations, ns sometimes out
earnestness of manner in diseussiii"
mailers, leaves a wroiij impression on
tho mind, whereas by" writincr We can
still convey the real " impression we
wish to make, without seeming to be
too personal. In all our discussions,
I think we have left out u very impor
tant one, i. e., manner, or, as most peo
ple say, manners, lint to my mind
there is this distinction be
tween tho two. "Manners," is usod
for the ordinary rules of politeness,
which nearly every liodv observes
more or less, while "manner" is a cer
tain indescribable something, by whiuh
each individual conveys to others, tho
idea of his or her personality.
Now, my dear boy, you have been
a student so lone- and Ii !lVi iii'i'ii infix
fisted in intellectual nursiiits tlmt. Villi
have somewhat neglected -his impor
tant branch, but you must remember,
to become a perfect man, you must
cultivate all sides of yourself.
The sprinjr, of a beautiful maimer
must havo its rise in the heart, and
not in the head. The best rule lor it,
is, "(Jive every one that consideration
due them," no more, no less. This is
entirely consistent with self respect,
and in fact, is the highest self respect.
This is the just rule of true politeness.
It is the vessel as it were, which you
can till to the brim or not, with kind
ness, good will, or even love itself,
lint beware of mannerisms, and imita
tions. If you had had sisters, there would
have been no need of this letter of re
minder, for girls havu keen eyes and
sharp tongues and they do not hesitate
to give their brothers "the benefit of
both. They have what yon may call
microscopic eyes. They immediately
detect our delects in manner, especial '
ly it they are the recipients.
I tell you, dear fellow, wo pay well
for it. The dear creatures may even
pretend to like it to our faces, but in
private I hey take their revenge. Vou
wonder how I know this, a crusty old
bachelor of thirty-six. Vou turgct I
have a batch of pretty, popular nieces.
The bright eyed minxes don't hesitate
to rake me over the coals if they linil
me too forgetful. And it is well en-

my admiration, as I do nyt think
there is any simple character of fiction
superior lo "lielinda."
Did yon meet Miss (Sophia Freeman?
Oh, yes, I remember now, her ready
presence of mind, when you wounded
your hand so terrribly at our last
pinnie. That woman is a constant
wonder to me. I believe she could
entertain and interest, not only the
poorest beggar at the palace gale, but
the king on his throne. She is so en
tirely forgetful of self. She is such a
charming listener too (some people do
that so pleasingly, while others dis
gust you with yourself for even trying
to talk.) In associating with Miss
Sophia, I have actually 'been led out
of myself, and have left her presence
with loftier desires and aims and with
broader sympathies. How s'io acoom
plishes this, I do not know, unless it, is
ny expressing her own cultivated self
thro' her manner.

Thursday was a general holiday at
Louisville, there being no business
done. With tho first streak of day.
light crowds of people began pouring
into the city from every point of coin
pass. Hy o o'clock the main streets
were so full that it was difiicult, to
pass alongside the walks. President
Arthur rested well, and was ready
by 11 o'clock to take his
part in the exercises of the day. The
Presidential parly left the Gait House
iicn dirges, escorted bv a bodv of no.
lice and military organizations, and
moved by tho most direct route to
tho reposition. Their way was a
perfect ovation the entire distance;
thousands of people cheering as the
dislingtished visitors pissed them.
The great main building, capable ol
holding twenty thousand people, was
filled completely, and the crowd was
too thick lor comfort. Presidei t Do
pont, of tho Exposition, wolcomcd the Presi
dent. The President gracefully responded, and con
cluili d by starling the vast machinery and pro
nouncing the Expo.ltion open. Tho crowd was
wild with enthusiasm.

by lUeika Bony in no skirts at all,
but encased skin tight in a bodice,
trunks and hose of knitted stud'. She
lay for an hour flat on tho gaud, and
long before the end of that time was
the focus of hundreds of staring eyes.
Although admiration might have been
detected in some of this gazin", the
comments were wholly unfavorable.
The women were especially severe in
their remarks, and so loud that Horry
could not have failed to hear sonic of
the condemnation.
"I declare," exclaimed a voice just
back of me, "I am ashamed lo look at
her. I don't think she ought to bo al
lowed here."
T turned to see the speaker and was
astounded, for she was a girl attired
quite as sparingly, except that a skirl
barely covered her hips. She was
f ie center of a group of fellows, pal-
i.iiny me oojeci ot their curious
visual attention and not in the least
disturbed by her position or condi
tion. And she was the highly res
pectable and accomplished daughter
of a Philadelphia "lirst family."

Hope has the power of soaring with a strong
and n ull ing piiiln from all that is dark and
dreary, into the radiant atmosphere of poetry.
It takes us into a world of dreams, anil causes
l lie heart to wander amongst visions. It diverts
Hie thimsrhis from the real to the Ideal, and
leads us amongst the picture gleams of fancy to
linger in lho fairy realms of art. It hastens us
Into a visionary world, that we may have drcami
of glory, power and fame. It unfolds i il.:
zling scroll, and shows us engraven on It 111
immortal uime. Its holy task Is to exhibit to
us, evsn when care surrounds? us, and wo are
treading along a henh path, a tlmo of dizzy
joys, and to change Into bright enchantments
the stern realities of actual life. Nor do Is the
strength of lis dreams, Hie nobleness of Its de
sires, and the beauty of its thnmOiia ..f.HMi, In
actuate ami lull u-iii c our hearts even when
life grows pale and wanes fast; when wo turn
our thoughts from crib lo heaven on the couch
of sickness and wcakucss, and when tho faint
voice ami falutcr pulse speuk in warning whit
pcrs of a ti ne lo die. It boldly walks along
with us, prompting the spii it never to repine
from die cradle to the grave.
We all hope. In everyone ot us that passion
llmls un object lo feed upon. We .11 form some
beau ideal we all sketch some fancy portrait,
which wo fondly chnish, and hope to Hud the
fair original. When hope lirst sheds Us Inllu
ence upon the heart, all one's roving thoughts
arc concentrated upon ono object. A vacuum
within is tilled, of which we have neter before
known Hie extent. Ilscdlcss luiliflcrciico to
success lu life forsakes one. A new stimulus
succeeds; the mind revolves upon splendid suc
cess All lho alluring uVtiiuc. ol (amo aro
spread open before us. We hum to achieve
some arduous enterprise which shall be worthy
of the mind of man.
Bui slroiig as Is the spell of hope to incite
and Inspire us, equally strong is It to dr'tide
and deceive us. Tho, fraud is sweet, hut biiter
pain and keen despair await to torment us upon
our awakening and liuding Its chain broken mid
lying around us in glittering fragments. Tho
heart that trusts the siren smile ot hope drinks
th. inosl copious draught of pleasure while ll
grasps iis soul -sought Measure; but when lho
mystic glesin dcp.u is, the Ileal t sinks coldly,
and too olien breaks amidst the world's un-klndncsa.
