AN INCIDENT OEIRATEL
FOUNDED ON FACTS
"All full„ sir!
. Sorry. guess
you'll manage to - stand the next fifty
miles !"
Mr. Smith, the, gpruce young con
ductor on the Central Railway cars,
ushered in a decrepid, shabbily-at
tired old man, who leaned wearily on
his staff, and carried
_a heavy valise
in his hand.
The long, dimly-lighted car was
full ; every seat was occupied ; band
boxes and carpet-bage were held in:
their owner's laps ; and there was -at
a single chime for the new comer to
be accommodated.
A couple score of faces.lifted them
selves to glance at the old man's face,
as he moved slowly and painfully down
the narrow aisle. It was plainly evi
dent that he had as much as he could
do to support himself, and besides he
looked like one that was just recov
ering from a severe illness-41k cheek
was thin and pale, and his eyes lack
ed the firg, which ought to sparkle
beneath ttrose large and strongly
marked brows.
There were many well, active loOk
ing, healthy young men in the car,
but not one- of the number felt dis
posed to renounce his soft, comforta
ble seat, to the shabby old traveler.
And after a stare of undisguised con-:
tempt, each and all dropped their
eyes and thought no more of the suf
fering old age before them.
In this enlightened century, it is a
notorious fact, that the aged meet
" - With slights and incivilities, to say.
nothing of positive unkindness, which
would have put the barbarous nations
of old. to shame. • -
Fitz James Enstace, a young ex
quisite; who was escorting his cousin,
Isabel Winchester; to Nahant, drew
doitn his mouth until the, ends of his
copper -colored moustache rested up
on the tips of his Well starched dick
ey, and remarked 'to the lady by his
side :
"Really, Mr•. Smith is insulting:its!.
Why cannot he find a place for that
wretched specimen in the second
class car ?"
.kt flush perhaps of pride—perhaps
of anger—mounted to the white fore
head of Miss Winchester. - She put
out her hand as though to check the
speaker, and said in a subdued voice :
" Fitz James, will you giie that
gentleman your seat?" ,
"My dear 'lsabel! why, I would
not evacuate my place by your side
for a kingdom! Let the old fellow
stand it out! It won't damage hie
appearance, be bound." •
" Then I will trouble, you to rise a
moment ; I prefer the • other side of,
the seat. Allow me to pass; if yori
please." •
Fitz. James ne% er thought of dis
puting the'will his . iniperions cou
sin, so he stood up, to let her go out.
But instead of taking the seat which
her escort had. occupied, the-lady
walked straight on, until shereached
thq;side of the neglected old gentle
man. The touch of her hand on his
shoulder drew his attention towards
her.
" Sir, will yon have • the goodneti
to take the seat which I have vacated?
I have ridden since early this. morn
ing, and am really weaned with sit
ting so long. Fray oblige me." -
The old man's facehrightened, and
he cast a grateful look into the dark
eyes of the handsome lady.
• " But, madame, you must be weary;
I cannot accept
She made an impatient gesture.
Miss Winchester was accustomed to
have her way.
" No, sir ; I am well, young and
strong. I should be ashamed to 'kit
while a man of your age lind healat
remained standing."
" Thank youl Your kindness is
well-timed and not thrown away. , I
venture, to Cell you I shall 'accept your
offer with gratitude." - -
So saying, the old gentleman spilt
into the vacant seat, with a
,wellfsat
isfied expression of, countenance ;,but
Fitz James expressed his unbounded
contempt for his neighbor by draw,.
ing his ample raglan closelY around
him, and shrinking nearer to the aide
of the car. The stranger_ looked-:at .
,him with quiet scorn.
" You need not trouble yourself tit
slip through the window , "said lie in
a Voice of irony.
Fitz James Was thoroughly-diignal;
ed. He could not endure such vul
gar proyinquity. He arose. quickly.
and striding over his companion made
the 'best of-his way into the smoking

Many silvan peion likes a.- frag
menntry t random sort of life, letting
his thought's run loose , and his' forces

that kruining his health, he has no
more sense or idea thtui a Sick- horse
hits of his cnnt symptonue - He goes
through the ~world, l ike a ship half
wrecked, With - hercanvas . torn ton - 1, 7
bons and fluttering in the wind, her
ropes ninning at loose ends, and noth
ing but the hull holding well togeth
er. Hii habits' are formed by acci
dent. They goat back and forth 'on
the - tide of, affairs. They are taken
up and drOpped—he *hardly - himself
knoWs why.
The e'r'ect of all , this 'it is easy
enough tit see.. l While men are bad
by , =tan, it is With their habits as
with water that yonleave to take care
of itself. They run down hill. They
seek the 'lowest level We say as
much in our term "loose habits "-
that is, habits which, being left at
random, are on the downward grade,
as a matter of course:
Nov, a rational creature of God
has no right -to . fiitter away his
strength or resources_ With Out know
ing where they have gone. 4- Power is
only:, another name _foi. duty. For
whatever particle of power &man has
he must answer to God. '4ld it is
his business to know how much he
has, how much hehas used, and whut
has become of it. . ,
" But," you say, "habit must, in
the very nature oft, be soniethi4
unconscious: It is that which we do
so, often as to came to be hardly
aware that• we do it at all." The as
sertion is both true and false. Fur
instance, a young, lady practices on
the piano. She first studies out the
notes; and then goes over them on
the keys twain.; and again. What is
she doing.? 'Availing herself of, the
law of habit. . Her •aim is. to make
her fingers sti- used to the motions
that they shall almost of themselves
travel over the keyboard.; She is
coy wiousty trying to reach a kind of
unconscious perfection. Now, in much
the same way, a man - ought to take
the control of his habits for high mor
al ends. Suppose you bring yourself
into the way of thinking of Christ
and heaven nt leisure moments,. as
many a good man has,-till it gets to
be almost a • second nature to do that,
your mind turns to it before you
are aware—is that anything really
Unconscious,' after=. all ? •
A ~r and privileffe this is—to be
making np good Habits that shall, at
least partly, take care of themselveS.
The young pianist, practicing one
piece afte4 another, gets in time a
stock of them that her hands can run
'through as by instinct' They' need
-reviewing, now and then, it is true, to
keep them fresh ; but, in the main,
they hold themselves ii her memory.
So with good habits Once thoroughly
formed. They become part of one's.
conscious moral wealth ; and so much
the nore because . We repeat them half
unconsciously..
Ent for bad habits there is a heav
ier and sharper responsibility than
most young people_seem aware of.
Men talk as if, when anything they
do has set itself up as a habit, that
fact alone - gave it some new rights in
the world—some higher standing - and
dignity. Now the folly of a Turk or.
in
an Arab, whp persists scratching
the' ground with a forked stick, in
stead of takl'ng a patent plow, is wis
dom compared with-tins. That is
only stupid ; this is wicked. A young
man says, - if we urge him to 40 some
thing,'or stop doing 'something else,
" That is not-in my line of things ";
or, "This is my habit. I have done
it for years.'" . *hat" of that ? Do
-you mean twanswer, when called to
account in the Judgment for the neg
lect of some. matter, " Lord, that was
not mY fashion "? • Do you expect to
find the dignity and. importance .of
this bad habit of yours acknowledged
there? SeCt what you are confessing
in this - plea that a habit is upon you.
Yon are coolly Saying that you _have
done the bad thing so realty times
over that that ought to be considered
in your favor! Suppose - a Hindoo
put on his trial for: ;murder, and,
when convicted and asked Why sex:l. 7
tence - should-noti lie passed; he an
swers, " It is. trne,.your Honor, that
lam guilty. - But-then I belong to a
gang of the Thugs. - I hare been mur
dering all my-life long. It's a habit
we have ; and: your Honor certainly
Will not be hard with; me !" Will that
lighten, his sentence much? Aid will
it much help your case to plead_ that
some darling sin. has bmg been your
practice ? Now,
liabits,are not easily
changed for thebetter except by ink
ing a fired tinie, and from that - mak
ing a start for something new. 'they
will change for the 'worse without any
trouble of this sort ; you May be sure
of that! Therci is no need °La per
pendicular phm`g,e downward, The
easy . incline (lithe slope of depravity
will soon bring you to the same level.
But any.movemcnt in the other direc
tion must be not lay. a graded ascent,
lint Straight, - upward. You cannot
slowly estrange` yourself from ' a bad
habit, as a Man cools Omani a friend.
It is altogether too fond of you for
that ! You must ' break loose as Sarap-
FOll broke from the.Philistines' cords.
There must be an open issue joined,
a crisis made: '
A gardener goes over his -grounds
occasionally to cut away the -suckers
from his young trees.-They are-noth

what are the hest eSpedientOor hair
• In man there is nothing
eo as soap: WWI
but; the plan cannot , be reeenanended
for ladies. The alkali of 'soap is, not
congenial to the' gloss, and beauty of
human hair ; - moreoier, to some ex
tent, alkaline contact elect' the col
oring matter; and changes its tint.
Men are above or beside these con
siderations, but.they should be taken
heed of 'by' ladies.. Glycerine and •
lime juice, so called, is not glycerine
and limejuice at all.' -It* merely
scented oil and' lime water. Glyce-
rine and rose water it much better.
The advantage of _glycerine is that it
imparts to the hair a soft; inky bril-,

--perhaps nothing so good as a small
fragment of gum-tragacanth dissolved

the solution will turn the accrochr
cfflur into a veritable horn, as rmcom- -
fortable to wearas ungraceful toloolc
at. People who use the . pomades
should be careful teat - they do not
apply injurons coloring matters to the
hair. The fashion these some years
past-has come in use • of using yellow
or straw-colored pomades. They arc
elegant to look at, and so long as the
yellow tint is imparted hype* oil, as
it should be, they are, sanitarily ken
siderect unobjectionable. I fear,how
.
ever, that in many instances , the pe
culiar tint of yellow so much dde
rated is given by incorporation with
some injurious metalic compound.
Roseate pomades are never, on ac
count of their - coloring matter,.objec;
tionable, the- tint -,-being always am- -
parted by ilkarnet root, which is
holly innocuous. I nrespect to the
oleaginous composition of pomades,
that varies grfitly. Spermaceti and
almost any an insl oil or fit---except
mutton fat— may be employed in
their composition. I believe the very
best ol4.nons hair applicator _con
sists of a mixture of castor- oil and
alcohol, two parts by measure of the
former to one of the latter, the whole
perfumed according to tiste. The
circumstance should here be mention
ed that castor oil la the only oil ad
•miting of this treatment ; if, for ex
ample, it were attempted to combine
olive oil with alcohol, the operator
would soon find that he had takn
•trouble in vain. Between' the two
no union would ensue ; and the same
remark applies to - every oil, with the
exception of castor oil. ,
