ETRONG MEN,
STRBKCITU ot character consists ot two
things power of will and power ot self
restraint. It requires two things, lhere
fore, for its existence strong feelings,
and strong Oommnnd over them Now
we all very often mistake strong feelings
for strong character. A man who hears
all bifoie him, before whoso frown
domestics tremble, and whoso bursts' of
fury make the children of the household
quake, because he has his own way in
all things, we call him a strong man.
The truth is, that he is tho weak man:
it is Ins passions that aro strong; he,
mastered by them, is weak. You must
measure the strength of a man by the
power of the feelings he subdues, not by
the power ot tlioso that subdue him.
And hence composure is very often the
highest result of strength. Did we
ever see a man receive a flagrant injury,
and then reply quietly' That is a man
spiritually strong. Or did we ever see a
man in anguish stand as if carved out of
a solid rock, mastering himself; or one
bearing a hopeless daily trial remain
silent, and never tell the world what
cankered his homo pence? That is
.strength. He who, with strong passions.'
remains ohasteijie who, keenly sensitive,
with manly powers ol indignation in
him, can be provoked and yet restrain
himself and forgive, those are the strong
men the spiritual heroes.
Tun aut or inasr. polite First and
foremost, dont try to be polite ! It will
rpoil all ! If you keep overwhelming
your guests with ostentatious entreaties
to iiiuke themselves at home, they will
very soon begin to wish they were there,
Let them Slid out that you aro happy
to see them by your actions rather than
words. Always remember let bashful
people alone at first It is the only way
to set them at ease. Trying to draw
them out has sometimes tho contrary
effeol of driving them out of the house 1
Leading the conversation is a danger
ous experiment Better follow in its
wake, and if you want to endear your
self to talkers, learn to listen well.
Never make a fuss about anything
never talk about yourself and always
preserve your composure, no matter
what solecisms or blunders others com
mit. Remember that it is a very fool
ish proceeding to lament that yon can
not idler to your guest a better house,
or furniture, or viands. It is fair to pre
sume that the visit is to you and not to
these surroundings. Uivo people a
pleasant impression of themselves, and
they will be pretty sure to go away with
a pleasant impression of your qualities.
On just such slender wheels as these the
whole fabric ot society turns ; it is your
business, then, to keep them in revolv-

i was rather difficult to distinguish them
: iroiu privates. Among this class was a
Brigadier General named James Morgan
who looked more like a wagon master
than an army officer.
On a certain occasion a new recruit,
just arrived in oamp, had lost a few ar
ticles, ami was inquiring around among
thu ''vets" in hope of finding them.
An old soldier, i nd of sport, told the
iccruit the only tbiet in the brigade was
in Jim Morgan's tent, so he immediate"
ly started for "Jim's" quarters, and pok
nig his head in, asked :
"Docs Jim Morgan live here?"
"Yes." was the reply ; "my name is
James Morgan.''
" Then I want you ta hand over thorc
boi ks you stole from me."
"I have none of your books, my
man."
"It's an infernal lie!" indignantly ex
claimed tho recruit, "the boys say vou'ro
the only thief in camp j so turn out
ihem books or I'll grind your carcass
into apple sass."
The General relished thejoko much;
but seeing tho sinewy recruit peeling oft"
his coat, ho informed him of his rela
tionship with the brigade, when the re
cruit walked off remarking :
"Well, blast ine if I'd take you for a
brigadier. Excuse me, General, I don'1
know tho ropes.''
A PKDAdoniiK was about to flog a
pupil for having said ho was a fool, when
tho boy ci 'led out, "Oh, don't! don't! I
won't call you so any more! I'll never
say what I think, again, in all the days
! of my hfo."
A Yankee, Thick lust before tho
declaration of independence, a yaukeo
pedler started down to New York to
sella lot ot bows and dishes ho had
made ot madle. Jonathan traveled over
the city, asking everybody to buy his
wares, but no ono was disposed to pur
chase
It happened that a British fleet was
then lying in the barber of New-York,
and Jonathan struck upon a plan ot
selling his dishc. He got a naval
Ultlorin, by hook or by crook (lor history
dosen't tell where he got it.) and strut
ting lip town, one morning, asked a
merchant it ho had any nice wooden
ware, as tho commodore wanted a lot
for the fleet.
The merchant, replied t hat ho had none
on hand, but there was some in town,
and if ho would send in the afternoon
he would supply him with pleasure.
"Very good," said our naval officer:
1 will call then."
Jonathan now cut for home by the
shortest route, and had scarcely doffed
his borrowed plumage before down
came the mo-chant, who. seeinir that
Jonathan had sold none of his wares,
offered to take the whole it he would
deduct lilteun per cent. But Jonathan
saiil he'd he goll darned if he didn't take
'em home, before he'd take less than his
first, price.
The merchant finally paid him down
in g. hi his pr os for the wooden ware,
which lay on his shelves for many a long
day thereafter) while Jonathan trotted
home in high glee at tho success of hi
manoauver, while tho merchant carsed
British officers ever after.
Pukmiu.m on BabiKs Wo are now
certain, says the Springfield Republican
that the sour old bachelors in Congress
do not control everything, lor the Ways
and Means Committee have agreed that
the income tax shall stand as it is, with
the exception that fifty dollars shall be
added to the !jfi(M excepted from tax for
every ohld of the family up to fifteen in
number. This is reasonable it popula
tion is embodied in extending the num
ber lo fifteen ! 'I hat sounds like the
good old limes, when a family meant
something more than one or two petted
and spoiled children. To be sure fitly
dollars a year is a meager allowance for
a baby ot any size in these times, but it
is something to nave the fact considered

Chivalry in Memphis They nave a
happy Mayor of Memphis. He was
drunk during the whole of the recent
riots in the city of which he is Ihe chief
civil officer, but was, we believe", able to
lead a mob. Ho took offence at some
observation made by the Anjus, and
addressed tho editor a letter as follows :
"To the Editors of the rius :
"For your uncouth and ungentleman
ly remarks in regard to myself in this
morning's issue, I hold you personally
responsible. Select your friend to ar.
range this difficulty,
' M st respectfully, John Park.
"May 17, 18(iii."
Tho Mayor delivered this in the
counting-room ol the Anus in pcrsrn.
Mr. Brower, editor ot the Argus, ad.
dressed a communication "to his Honor,
John Park, 'Mayor and oommander-in
chief of tho army and navy of Mem
phis.' "
The editor's letter declined lo cngago
in a fight, or rather a farce : and thu
noble Mayor indorsed on tho letter,
which ho indignantly returned, this
smashing commentary :
'Whenever you choose to net the
coward, keep all communications within
your ollicu as above. John ParRE,
"May 19, 18C0."
The editor was then so unkind as to
print tho corres) ondence, and to say :
"Whenever wo 'chooso to' act as af
foresaid, we will cheerfully adopt bis
Honor's suggestion. Meanwhile the
Argm will 'chooso to' demonstrate iho
