It is difflouitto be civil on certain subjeots while humin nsturo is as it is. 1 here Is a power in suavity, a cluirm in polite Hess, that makes it well worth wbue to culllate. Affectation is a habit, and young persons often ' plunder into it. Sonio peipous pretend to surliness, though wny they should is beyond understanding. Mill, one of the most singular and disgusting affec tations ts that of assumed indiirurencu. lie could not rbdure that phase ot chai actor. Ho doprocated as much assumed passion as the woman who threw up h or arms and enthusiastically exclaimed. "Oh, 1 have such a passion for roast veal.'" The mincing, rialting, tripping sort ot Rait, the aflfcetanon ol talk, the afTectntion of shoddy society, who must attend the fashionable ohnrch aud srive dinners, that they may tell their guest how much each ot their dishes cost, met sarcastic roierencos that convulsod all with laughter. How sorious and oflbnsivn Is the affectation of acme young men, who hud merriment and amuse taont In every noble act, evory honorable achieve mont. every great advance in civilization and morality I , But. Laser lor than this is the affectation ot the lady's man, who will boaat of having made the conquest of a lady whom ha ncrer knew. An- other Igreatt affectation is the assumed wit the pun ' ster, the dul est and stupidest of all persona, .who interrupts all reasonable oouver-ation by his atro cious puns. Sydney Smith once said thai wit was , mtchanical, and by hard trying; a porson might . sometimes imblhe a littlo ot it A retort is a very different thing from a pun. A vory sharp, unpro ' meditated retort is glorious In its results. W bat a multitude ot unnecessary words people acquire the habit of using! "1 went alone," we all understand; but, "I went away all alono by myself," was used by a minister to him, though ft is ridicu lous. "1 wbnt there my own self, and 1 saw him with my own eyes." Thus we use unnecessary words by the cartload. Take twenty ladies in a room together, entor a mouse, and thero is a goneral scroam ot terror, a jumping on chairs, and gathering up of skirts. Thus, some think It very fine to turn palo at a spider, and laini at the sight ot a dog. What mistakes, errors, and crimes are oomniitted through habit 1 "I forgot to post a letter to the doctor, nnd my mistress is . dead." He bad hoard of a ministor who h id ro ' ceived a message to po to a dying woman, and b irgot ; and amaniao had.told the minister afterwards that she had gone to perdition through hisiaulc. "I lor tot tt, it is a grievous, a shocking error." It is the duty of all to set themselves to remedy this; a man can overcome a natural deieot it be tries. The young- lady yioids up tie beautiful figure of her body, and submits to be squeezed, pinched, and bound tight until a sculptor would ouiy copy her proportion! as a deformity. We submit to buv our leet pinched to be crippled, and to have our hcuds bound in the tight stovc-jnue hats, to do anything . that fashion demands.

Atiethi r direful habit is that of cursing, of nsing the Almighty's name in profanity. It is wicked, . atrociously, blasphemously wicked. It is thus done by many, because it is atrociously wicked. . Duos anyjouugman here swearr It is not manly it is meant it is vulgar; it is brutish. A true man re speots the feeing ot others, and docs not swear. It is a bat'it. Break it now forever. He bad heard a ' tottering old man beastly and blasphemously curs ing. Would any young man do tliatf Vet it is worse to blasphemo one's Maker i n the flush oi man hood and vigor. Break this habit. You can, and you must. ' He nad seen it overcome by others, and would firmly dcciare any one oould conquer the vilo habit. Every man and woman Is better for considering and acknowledging tne Omnipotence ot God. Uaniol Web tor bad said that the most important "question that ever occurred to his mind wae bis In dividual responsibility to trod. Every one must know that he wields an immense responsibility towards others, and has to answer to the Almighty for his use of that power.

Ir was far bettor to struggle with appalling temptation than to be dead to all the claim ot humanity. It is a grand thing to think of our personality. Every man and every woman has a right to be hore, but it is a dreadiul thought to think we are now fixing our eternul future. We can cultivate the habit ot good, and oan thus acquire power over o ir pioopcnucs, aud thus tame ourselves nearor to our Cod Is there such a bum? as a true man, a perfect man? btand up, tiue man ot rmmamtv, hit up those lips that r-corn not light; raiee the band that never used its stienirth against a weaker creature; stand op. noble and brave-hearted, nnd show us tho sem blance ot a tiue man, is it not hard io see men yield ing to the base dogradatiou of tue vile hubita of vice and intemperance f island up, it you can, victim of rice, bondman of intemperance, and enow hew iMtbit has lowered man ntarlyto a level with the Prate.

Midnight Bubolars. On Saturday morning about 2 o'clock, while the wind was blowintr nt a terrible rate, the farmhouse of Mr. Jacob HidVenicn, at Moyameneinfr. avenue and the Old Buck road, was entorcd and robbed of about .sixty -eight dollars in money. The burglars forced an entrance through a rear window, aud proceeded .immediately iip stairs. The door of the bedchamber, in which Mr. and Mrs. Hiddc nicn and children were sleeping, was forced open, the noise ot which aroused trie occupants, who were greatly alarmed, thinking that the btfrb. wiud had uplilted the roof. Presently tliey vine nurpriBuu iu eee iour nifn enter anil advance towards the bed, disguised with white handkerchieta tied over their laces and eloucu hats pulled down over their eyes, the first hav ing a lame .butcber-knite npliited, the second., presenting a revolver, and the third Carrying a gun. The fourth individual was some distance in (he renr. The men, with doadlv wennons. surrounded tho bed, and threatened to kill the occupants if tbey attempted nuy resistance. The fourth roan tbeu rausncked tUe bureau drawers, and secured thirty eight dollar? in money. The three ruea demanded of Mr. Illcideuica tbe rest of hi n.oney, threatening to kill him if he did not make known where it was concealed. They re marked that they were gentlemen thieves, and would not murder him, if he would tell them wuere they would got t'ae money. Mr. Ilicidc men feared lest they would carry out their threat, and he told them that the money was kept in a small trunk in one corner of the room. They broke open the trunk and s'cured the' money, which was only thirty dollars. Tho Durgiais, alter threatening to shoot him if ho attempted to give any Alarm, preceded down Ftirirs, and barred one of the doors alter them to j'reveut pursuit. v At daybreak, Mr. Hidticmen discovered that the thieves had turned the hour hand of the clock back, making it appear earlier in the day than it really was. This was done for the pur pose ot deceiving the police, and clving the, fccoundrels a chance to prove an alibi in case they should be arretted. As yet the scoundrels have not been arrested, although some sixteen suspicous characters were takon into custody, but discharged for want of evidence. Tho authorities are in search ot the villains, and it is hoped they will be brought to justice.
