Essence of Good Breeding. When you enter a room and ore presented to the hostess, her reception of you prove 'r.Jr good breeding or lier bad. Tho way in hich ber children meet you the way in which at any age bevond the hood they speak and bold themselves is a eloquent of their gentle training or ungentle as is a correct accent or a provincial. No idiosyncrasy mar the real essence of good breeding, and all excusos made for lapse and lesions are futile. A well bred eion may be as thy a a hawk, and ber Umbs may be as awkwardly bung together as so many crooked sticks badly pinned. All . the same her good breeding will be evident, and nei ther her shyness nor her awkwardness will tell against it Though it cost her the well known agonies to sustain a connected conver sation, and though by tho very fuct of her shyness her brain will run dry, she will sus tain it with the most consummate politeness it mo, bi ways witu tue most flawless fluency. She will put a restraint on herself and talk her best, bad as that liest may be, because she is versed in the art and mystery of good breeding and think ot othors rather than herself. But an ill bred person. If shy, is simply Imorish, and tokes no trouble to conquer the dumb demon within him. but gives wuy to it and lets it conquer him at pleasure. You f-l thnt tho excuse made for him or her by those who want to smooth over asperities with vnniisli that excuse of being so "dread fully shy" is no excuse at all.

"It was on Feb. 28, 1844," said the old man, "and I mind It well, for I bad a son born that day. Cnpt Stockton built the Princeton on hi own plan at the rtiiludelphia navy vat d, and after she was launched I beljieil to rig her. Then sho went round to Washington and lay at the navy yard, in the Potomac. When the 28th came she steamed down the river, with the president, most of bis cabinet, young John Tyler, a lot of senatoi- and rep resentatives, a dozen or two naval oflleeni and ever to many ladies aboard, nil the guests of Cupt Stockton. There was Addling and flirting and dancing and champagno drinking all the way down. Officers on shore were mtehty polite to the wives of those that were away in the Mediterranean or cruising with the Asiatic squadron, and there was no end of fun among the young folks. The president wns merry, too, for Miss Gardner wnsalionrd. Her futher was killed that dny, but I saw ber on the Princeton ngnln when the vessel wo off the battery at New York. She was Mrs. Tyler then, the wife of the president I saw her aguin, a long time afterward, at John Tyler's home, on the Jnmes river.

At Inst Secretary Gilmer asked to have the Peacemaker fired again, and some of the com pniiy followed Capt Stockton on deck to see the piece 1 ailed. The president started up with the rest, but turned back to bear his soii-in-lnw, Mr. Waller, sing a song. Cnpt Stockton ordered Lieut Hunt to make ready for firing.

They looded the gun wun iwenty-nve pounds of powder and 2113 ixiund shot She was so big that you could have crawled inside ber nud bad plenty oi room to sare. t'npt Ktoekfm stood neai-est the gun, and the cabinet oflleci-s, some senator and a few ladies wero not far awuy. The secretary of war walked off be- fore the gun wa fired. Cnpt Stockton called out, 'Stand clear of the gun,' and then sho was flail. There was nn awful explosion, a cloud of smoke and a loud scream from the wounded. U hen the simke cleared away every one could see tlut the top of the gun was blown off from trunnions to breech, und two dozen people were lying on deck. Capt Stockton was hurt, but be jumped to bis feet and mounted the gun carriago to see the dauuige. There lay Col. Gurdner with both leg and both arms gone, Mr. Maxey with an arm missing, Mr. Gilmer with hi skull crushed, Mr. Up.diur with one leg blown off, Cnpt Keniiou with bis watch blown clear through his body, and still a ruiminz. sothev said; the president's servant, wounded st thnt he died soon after, mid ever so many more hurt with pieces of the gun or shocked by the concussion. Senator Benton was hurt a little und geared a good deal, and Senator Wood bury's daughter bad her pretty face splushed with the blood of the injured. One lady's headdress was singed with a hot piece of the gun. Senator Phelps' hut was blown off nnd almost everybody on deck was knocked down. THE SCENE ON PECK.
