The former rarely sutlers more than a passing pain but the latter frequently gets pneumonia owing 10 the missused application of the adverb that governs her attire. —Each and all account themselves sen sitive, but how many are as sensitive for others as for themselves? In that lies the secret of good breeding. To show appre ciation ol an intended kindnes, or pleasure in what is meant to give pleasure, to please and to be pleased, and above all to look only for what is best in things and people is an easy tusk, ami soon becomes a habit. I'his is good manners, and springs from ilie heart, while mannerisms are from the head. —ln a whirlwind of wratii lw> of our popular young men with ungovernable tempers frenzied by what they believed to have been born of injustice and perse cution sought hard-fisted revenge by at tempted to cast dark shadows over each others eyes Monday night. Following a storm of bad names came a pugilistic encounter which terminated in a com 1 lete knockout. On their countenances war clouds are depicted which plainh shows that some exterior cause had mainly transpired. —Before going to war with a foreign nation over a little island in the Atlantic our representatives ought to count not only the cost in lives and money the strife would involve, but should examine care fully the situation at home and abroad as well. 'I he Cicsare accross the sea who are practically masters of two-thirds of the civilized wor d, have long been preparing tor conquests. That they are looking Atnerieawurd there can be no doubt. That the European monarchs, if firmly united could be masteis of the destinies of the world, commercial and otherwise, no one can deny. They may come upon us with or without reason, butofcour-e preferabl) with a provocation. The prospect is not p easii - Well may the question be ask ed: " fraught with harmony or hos "r war?"

Live your life as quietly and as peacefully as possible. "Live in each day as it comes Other days whether past or future, must not be allowed 10 press on your htart. This is the noblest policy you can adopt, the policy which comes to yon as a de vine injunction. Let neither regret nor anticipation intrude upon you to make you weak. A wife should tread as cauti ously on her husband's temper as she would on slippery pavements. Only when she has learned where the slippery humor ■ flier husband will bear and where it will break can she perform safely and graciously those evolutions by which a kind and loving wife achieves a far great er victory than any general ever gained. Let no womau foolishly try to gain from her husband in a rough way what she can surely by gentlenes. She should make her home as cheerful and as happy . * she can, for the housewife makes tos L >me; and the home make* the nation." —On Thursday noon of last week a cloud of smoke was seen issuing forth j from the roof of the Mountain House, around ihe chimney. The alarm of fire eoon brought a lurge crowd of the late fire heroes on the scene.
