MRU HARRIOT T. CLARKE, K.itoh
A CONFIDENTIAL CONFESSION-
If I were girl and I knew just how
I'd marry tho boy wlio hold tho plow;
Tho boy who 1 1 bravo ami has n (tout heart
In the dram of llfo to act woll lilt part.
The boy who it honest and known to be true,
Such an one, girl", I would picture to you 5
A boy of tfil kind, whether Harry or Dan,
Is auro to mature into an honorablo man.
What of the dudlsh boy, who sports with a
cane, a
Parts hit hair in tho middle, and is otherwise
vain!
You ask what I'd do, should such scok to
marry !
I'd cay: "Thank you, kind sir, I'd much
rather tarry."
If I were n girl and that we'll allow
I would marry the boy who holds at the
plow ;
The mnn of good tense, and of musclo and
brain,
It the "prize" for a sensible woman to gain,
A'eic England I'ltrmtr.
BE PATIENT WITH THE X.IVINO.
Sweet friend, when thou and I aru gone
Ileyond earth' weary labor,
When small ahall bo our need of grace
From comrado or from neighbor :
Passed all the strife, tho toll, tho care,
And done With all tho aighing
What tender truth shall wo havo gainml,
Alas, by simply dying ?
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merit over,
And eye too awift our faults to see
Shall no defect diaoover j
Then hand that would not lift a (tone
Where (tone wero thick to cumber
Oar steep hill path, will icatter flowers
Above our pillowed dumber.
Sweet friend, perchanco both thou and 1,
Kro love i past forgiving,
Should take the carnrat lesson home
Bo patient with the living !
To-day' repressed rebuke may ave
Our blinding tesr to-morrow ;
Then patience, e'en when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrow.
'TU easy to be gontle when
Death's silenco shunts our clamor,
And caiy to discern the beat
Through memory' myalio glamour;
Aut wise It were for theo and me,
Kro lovo is past forgiving,
To tako tho tender lesson homo
Bo patient with the liviog.

The Decline of norae Politeness.
Thoro is a general coinplninl at homo
and abroad of tho decline of politeness.
Although part of tho lament limy bo duo
to tho time-honored feeling that "things
aro not now iih they used to bo," yet
there it. good cause for the oft-heard
moan. Iu America wo lay perhaps too
littlo stress upon tho outward and visi
bin signs of an inward grace. Wo think
11 cnougu mat a iH.-r.-4on utinil moan
woll, no nmttor how far Bhort ho
may coino of expressing his good inten
tions. There npjMjars to bo to groat a
rush to accomplish tho daily round of
business that littlo time, if any at all, is
given to those cts of graceful courtesy,
to trilling in themselves, yet which con
tribute greatly to reduce tho friction of
home and social lifo to n minimum.
This living by tho clock, thW running for
train or boat, leaves no margin for cjniet
stntclincss in net or Hpccch.
Children are too often allowed a lati
tude which formerly only whs permit
ted to person of mature years, and hold
opinions upon matters far boyond their
ken, expressing them freely in and out
of feoson. This prevents them from
having a becoming respect for their bu
. poriors in year and knowledge. It was
delightfully refreshing to hoar a celebra
ted physician say tho other day "In
my opinion, whother a son hot or -10
years of age, to long as ho lives under
the samo roof with his father ho should
defer to his parents slightest wish. If
this ho not possible ho should mako his
abode elsewhere j but wherever ho may
bo his fathor mmt bo treatod with duo
deferonce."
Good manners aro really tho outcome
of unselfish natures : ill manners aro al
most a synonym for selfishness. It may
bo said that it is impossihlo to change a
person's nature, and nothing can bo
gained by talking. True, thero can bo
no absoluto boulcveraomont of this sort,
but there may bo so great a modification
that unpleasant qualities will be ren
dered quite endurable. "Care killod a
eat," says the old proverb, and it can
also kill disagreeablo manners. Apropos
of this, a bright girl recently said to me :
"You can educate anything. Even un
manageable feet may bo made tractable
if you only train them persistently, for
many an ill-sliupon foot is tho result of
ofcarelessness. If feet are inclined to
breadth and flatness, tako pains as to
how you walk ; never allow the feet to
WILLAMETTE
toueh the ground with forco, and they
will soon repay your cure." It thoro-
foro only rcouirca a littlo carefulness
and sympathy for othors to soften our
manners mid bring nboutthatdeforenco
and courtesy which is so delightful in
evcry-day life. Louisville-Courier Jour

Objecttnx to Women.
I naked tho chief of ono of tho bureaus
this morning why such a great and
seemingly unjust discrimination was
made nftor their competency for tho
places had been so well established. Ho
replied as follows "There are a number
of reasons why wo prefer men to women
for department work. Tho first reason
is that womou aro more siihccptiblo to
complaints than men nnd loso moro timn
by sicklies. The record shows this.
When n woman has tho headache, or is
feoling badly otherwise, you nro moro
sympathetic with her than you would bo
with a man, and if it is possible, would
much prefer her going homo than re
maining Kt her desk. Then you do not
caro to boss a woman arouud liko you
would a man, or tcold her if sho fail to
do her work. And then there are women
who will not stand being reprimanded,
and talk back to you cavagoly, nnd then
subside into u tpell of tho sulks that will
lost for bovcral day. All of thin is very
iinple.unnt, and it does not occur often
with tho male clerk. Washington Cor

Commodore Vandorbllt, who iiinrood
a tavern-keeper's maid, was sitting on
tho piazza of a Saratoga hotel, beside
his daughter, who was nrrayod in silks
and diamonds, when an uncouth, poorly
dressed old chap camo along, and salu
ting Vanderbilt with "Hello! Commo
dore, how aro you to-day 7" camo on tho
piazza and shook hands with him. Tho
daughter drew her olegant dross hastily
aside at his approach, as if in fear of
contamination, with a look of utter dis
dain. After the aged visitor had chat
ted a moment and passed on, tho daugh
ter said . "Why, papa, how could you
rccogiwo that dingy old man in this
public placo" "liloss your heart, dear,"
said the commodore, "ho used to buy
neer ot your moiuer ueioro you wore
born." This Bmart rap on tho knuckles
of a snobbish instinct might bo taken to
heart by a groat many people who re
gard it as utterly beneath the.ni to treat
with ordinary decency perbons who hap
pen to belong to tho same station in life
that our own parents bolonged to, be
fore riches came to gild tho dree.8. So
ciety often makes an ass of itself by
asking, "Who is he!" instead of "What

A North Carolina Coon Story.
It wasn't many Saturdays ago that a
number of gentlemen standing on tho
fitroots at Greensboro discussod fox hunt
ing, bird hunting, nnd kindred sports.
Each ono had told a story, romarkablo
in a high degrco, when tho climax was
reached by ono of tho gentlomcn, who
told tho following story;
"Coons!" said ho with a sneer. "You
don't know Anything about coons in
this country. Why you ought to go to
southwest Georgia. I lived thero once,
and my favorito pasttimo was coon
hunting. Early ono morning I started
out with my dogs for n hunt. Tho
morning was damp and heavy, and wo
hadn't gono tar before tho dogs struck a
trail, nnd away they went. How beauti
ful it was! Through tho underbrush
they rushed, crashing, barking, tho
sounds coming to us liko low music on
tho morning air. It wasn't many minutes
before the long howl ot tho lending dog
told us thnt ho had trcod.
"Wo put out after them, going through
tho swamps nnd down into n canobrnke.
Thoro wo camo upon tho dogs all
clustered about a cypress log. Thoy
studied it, and then all started back as
if they didn't know what was to pay.
Wo drew near nnd endeavored to urgo
tlicm on. But thoy wouldn't urge Wo
went up to tho log, nnd it seemed to bo
moving. I didnt know what to mako of
it. Tho fiidos of it roso and foil as regu
lar as tho beat of a clock. Wo finally
cut into it, nnd thoro it wns packed with
coons. Wo killed 110, nud I don't know
how many got away."
"What mado tho log movot" inno
contly asked a bystander.
"Oh, plain as day. Tho coons wore
