How is night kept from going too far? dj putting on the break oi day. "Can love die!" inquires Mary E. Nealy in a recently published poem. It cannot, though it gets dreadfully ad journed occasionally. A clergyman who was annoyed by the squeaking shoes ot nis pansnioners re marked that some people "had too much music in their soles. "When I bear a man bragging about what he did last year, and what he is going to do next year, I can tell pretty near what he adoing now. It is bad enough to have dog days; but it is almost too much for goodnature to be afflicted also with cat nights. New York Commercial Advertiser. "Tell vour mistress that I've torn the curtain," said a lodger to a female domes tic. "Very well, sir; mistress will put it down in the bill as extra rent. A little deaf-mute boy was asked to show bis skill in the use of the English language on his slate, and he wrote: "A man ran from a cow. lie is a coward, "Don't you find that it hurts your lawn to let your children play on it?" asked a friend of a suburban the other day "Yes," answered the gentleman addressed, Tout, it doesn't hurt the children." Swell "I want you to make a short coat without tails or seams iu the back Do you know what I mean? German tailor "Yaas, yaas, I know vat you yant. You vant a straight jacket." "Yes,' said Mr. Lincoln once of a bravo officer, "Colonel is said to be a man of truth and veracity, but, nevertheless, after the battle of the Wilderness he was found lying at the point of death." A member of the New York Legisla tare, whose courtship had suddenly ter minated. was asked bv a friend : "Has the affair really come to an end?" "Yes, was the reply, "it's adjourned nine die." "George has had a great many pull backs in life," said the youug wife to her lacy fried. And when the inenu paid "Yea, I saw him with oue yesterday," the young wife didn't know what was meant. "Is Governor Rice seedy-looking man of Brunswick, Boston, a in?" inquired a the clerk of the few nights ago "YeB," said the clerk; "yes he is "Well." said the man. walkiug out, "I'm glad of it; i'ts a wet night, and he might catch cold if he was out." The manufacture of paper from wood has reached the altitude of perfection in Canada. The superintendent of a mill up there says a tree is cut down and shoved into one end of the mill and five .minutes later there is a neighbor at the other end to borrow the paper. A big Yankee from Maine, on paying his bill in a London restaurant, was told that the sum put down didn't include the waiter. "Wal," he roared, "I didn't eat any waiter, did 11" lie looked as though he could, though, and there was no further discussion. Ex. "You see, Judge," said a . vagabond wno was arraigned as a vaarant, "1 m a victim of misfortunes beyond my con trol. First, my parents died, leaving me aa orphan at the tender age of twenty nine years, and then my wife departed from this vale of sorrow, and I was left absolutely without any means of sup port." "Very well, ' said the judge, "tne country will support you in jail for thirty days." Dan Hook (the late Dean of Chiches ter) was associated with one of the late Bishop Wilberforce's favorite witticisms. "What articles of ladies' attire," the bishop used to ask, "give the name of two of the most eloquent men in the Church?" When the auditory gave up the puzzle, Dr. Wilberforce would say with great glee, at the astonishment at his own egotism, "Hook and I." A little fellow ran to his mother the other day and asked, "Ma, can I have some bread and jam?" Uis mother, wish ing to break him of tha vicious habit, replied: "When I was your age I couldn't get anything to eat between meals if I wanted it." "Yes," said the boy, after a moment's pause, "but you didn't have a good, nice mamma like me, did you?" lhat settled it in favor of the young flat terer. Polite Fictioss. Mrs. Brown "Dear me, Mrs. Jones, are those tall young ladies really yours? I had no idea you had daughters grown up!" Mrs. Jones (who is still possessed of considerable personal attractions) "Oh, yesl I was married at fifteen, you know! And is that young gentleman really your son?" Mrs. Brown (who is also possessed of ditto ditto ditto) "Yas a I was married at twelve I" Punch. A woman took her little one in her arms to hear a famous preacher. The loud voice from the platform awoke the child and made it cry, and its mother got up and was leaving the hall when the minister stopped her by saying, "My good woman, don't go away; the baby doesn't disturb me." "It isn't for that, sir, I leave," she re plied, with a perfect unconsciousness of sarcasm; "it's you disturb the baby." An old pioneer, who was somethiDg of a fatalist, lived in a region iufested by Indians. He always took his gun with him, and once, finding that some of his family had taken it out, he would not go without it. His friends rallied him, say ing that there was no danger of the In dians, as he would not die till hfs time came anyhow. "Yes," said old Leather stocking; "but suppose I was to meet an Indian, and his time was come, it wouldn't do not to have my gun." A clergyman, having been inducted into a living in Kent, took occasion dur ing his first sermon to introduce the word "optics." At the conclusion of the service a farmer who was present thanked him for his discourse, but intimated that he had made a mistake in one word, soft ening down the severity of the criticism by saying, "We all know very well, sir, what you meant. On the clergyman making further inquiries about the word, the farmer replied: "What you call hop sticks, in this part of the country we call hoppoles. "Ukcxe" Somebody's Yisit to ax Art Gallery. He was walking through an art nailery in the city, when a stranger accosted him with the query: "Will you tell me, sir, is this a loan collection ?" "Wall," was the reply "I rather guess it is, for I see it is off here all 'lone by itself." The stranger looked bewildered, while the old man, lifting his eyes from the catalogue, remarked to those around him: High art I should say so! Why, I can't reach some of these pictures with my umDreUar Chicago Journal. I A Frontier Bulldozer. When I applied for the position of city editor of the daily Scalper, a frontier paper of some pretense, the man at the helm simply asked my name, age and weight, and what I knew about the busi ness, and he employed me. The proprietor is not hard to suit," I said to the foreman that evening, as I be gan business. "Vhy do you think so?" "Because he engaged me at once," I re plied. 1 he foreman laughed. "That's because he thinks you won't last more than a day or two. They nev er do." "Who?" "The editors get cleaned out, you know; knocked in the head, shot to pieces busted. Some of 'em leave the first day, others hang on a w eek or more, then we carry 'em to the hill you see over there and plant 'em. There's a row of local editors over there halt a mue g, and all died with their boots on.' Truly this was not very encouraging, but I did not believe half of it. "It's a fact though." declared the fore man " hn tnn am c liKe oiucr piaca, and thi3 is a high pressure newspaper. If you wish to be popular you musi pucu into the people like blazes. inose iei- ... . . rr i . a i lows over on the bill were popular. "And that's why they got killed, I sup twbi?" T said. "I reckon so ; at any rate they are dead ; Joe Hodges killed them "Joe Hodges?" "Yes." "Who is he. nray?" "Tha town bull v : the masher of the village; a genuiue, double-back-actiou rough. Better not say anything about Joe, or he'll waltz in here and mash you into a icily in no time. Very particular is Joe about newspaper notices." "Then he shall have none in this pa per," I said determindly. "Oh, but that won't do," exclaimed the foreman. "Joe is that sort of a fel low that won't be slighted nothing he hates so as neglect; and then he is mixed up in every row, so you'll have to men tion him. In fact, Joe Hodges is on the fight worse than any man I ever knew." 'Copy !" yelled out one of the. com positors. The forman cleaned the hook and rushed into the composing room. "I'll fix Joe Hodges," 1 said to my self, when the man had gone. "The first blow is the best, so here goe3." I seized my pencil and wrote a little notice comparing Joe Hodges with a mule, and saying that, according to all accounts, he was a drunken rascal, unfit for human association. The notice was put in type at once, and appeared in the paper the next morn ing along with the other locals, and that afternoon Joe Hodges called. I was busy writing when he came in, and I looked up when a hurried glance told me who he was. A short, heavy-set, swarthy, lov browed rascal, with black hair and eyes, ad red shirt that was Joe Hodges. "Take a seat," I said, and we t on writing. In a half drunken way into a chair. "Joe Hodges." I dashed it down on a blank paper oa the table he floundered broad piece of "How old are your' "Forty-two," with a surprised look. I dashed that down in tbe same way. "Your birth-place?" "Missouri," with still more surprise. I put it down, and then reached for a heavy revolver, which I cocked and laid on the table. "Are you married?" I asked with a quiet look at the astonished man. "No," he replied staring wildly. I put the answer down. "What is your business?" A blacksmith." I made a record of the fact, and then looked up to ask another question when I saw that the bully had risen and stood glaring at me, with his baud on the door. "What in thunder are you writing?" he yelled, his face almost purple. "An obituary." "Whose!" "Yours." He may have had urgent business down on the street; I do not know; at any rate he suddenly withdrew from my presence and never bothered me any more. Selected. Modern Railroad Travel. The En gineer gives an account ol "the highest authentic instances of high railway speeds" on record. Brunei with the Cour ier class of locomotive rau 13 miles in ten minutes, equal to 78 miles au hour. Mr. P. Sterling, of the Great Northern. took, two years ago, sixteen carriages 15 miles in thirteen minutes, equal to 75 miles an hour. The "Great Britain," "I ,ir.l F t, lolon" Ulrnn TVi L-o " broad gauge engines on tbe Great West ern Railway, have each run with four or five carriages from Paddiugtou to Did cot in forty-seven aud a half minutes, equal to 66 milc3 an hour. The new Midland coupled express engines, run ning in the usual course, have bsen timed 68, 70 and 72 miles an hour. The 10 a. m. express on the Great Northern from Leeds has been timed, and found mile after mile at the rate of a mile in fifty two seconds, or C9-2 miles hu hour. The engines used are Mr. Stirling's outside cylinder bodie express engines, the load being ten carriages. It would be inter esting to hear "the slowest authentic in stances of slow omnibus speed" on re cord. Pall Mall Gazette. The Flying Machine. The curiosity in the way of invention and mechanism was referred to in our last week's issue, and this week it has been on public ex hibition in this city. Sj far as its merits have been investigated by com petent judges, they admit that the new invention practically answers the re quirements of the problem. It is not claimed for the machine that it can make headway against opposing currents; but, beiui? able at the will of tho operator to ascend above and descend beiow these hostile currents, there would seem to be no difficulty about its being brought into the favorable one in the hands of a capable navigator. So that the prophe sies that have for many years been made in ridicule of this and similar possibili ties promise, to appearances, to come to naught. Terily we do live in times that are developing the most remarkable re sults of every kind. Mass. Ploughman. Let him who gropes painfully in dark ness or uncertain light, and prays vehe mently that tbe dawn may ripen into day, lay this precept well to heart: "Do the duty which liest nearest to thee," which thou knowest to be a duty; thy second duty will already become clearer. Thomat Carlyle. Old-Time Gentlemen. Although we cherish a conservative re spect fur ihe old-fashioned polished gen- . . t a 1 1 tleman, we have a lurking suspicion mat he was sometimes a rather artilicial crea ture. Polished he certainly was, but with a polish lhat wore oil with a very little rough usage, and wmcii out tniniy glossed over an iuuer man, almost guilt- lets ot rehnemeut. lie couia ue very po lite, but he could also be very blasphe mous, and if he was occasionally poeti cal, he was often indecent. We are far from maintaining that some past periods of English history have not been more distingaiohed lor courtesy thau our own; but nueu we hear people talk or the times of George IV. and Beau Brummel as the millennium of British politeness, we feel that either their memory or their judgment must be greatly at fault. There are other epochs which might claim, at the least, an equal distinction. Iu these davs it is unlortunately true that, even in the highest society, there is too little courtesy either at home or away from it; but that does not prove the early part of the present century to have been the golden age of English manners. Our own is an age of moderation. We are expected to be moderate in religion, iu politics, and in everything else; and we have a noble example of moderation set us by the youth of the present day iu the indulgence of courtesy. A very cour teous man is how considered a bore in gay and a humbug iu grave society What a miserable thing is civility in com parisou with the charms of chalf, and now insincere is he who treats ladies with deferential politeness! Such appears to be the current creed, though there may be a certain number ot nonconformists In our opinion the best tc?t of the dif- feieuce between courtesy and humbug will be found in the observation of home life. Humbug may assume the form of courtesy, but it cannot stand the strain of continual use, whereas true courtesy be comes more developed by constant habit, and thrives best iu its native Siil. Peo ple often confuse courtesy with humbug, because they imagine that it necessarily implies personal esteem and respect. Where, therefore, they observe a defcren tial manner in the absence of a personal esteem and respect, tl.ey immediately suspect humbug. In this they are mis taken. A judge may be perfectly cour teous to the murderer whom he is sen tencing to be hanged, and the head mas ter of a public tchool may show formal politeness to his pupil in the disciplinary interviews he has with him "alter school," but neither functionary would thereby lay himself opeu to the charge of being a humbug. Then there are persons who are so utterly devoid of any innate courtesy that they are iucredulous of its existence iu others; and when they meet with it they mistake it lor humbug, It must be admitted, however, that there are occasions when skepticism is quite legitimate. For instance, when we see ostentatious displays of allection and respect on the part ot husbands towards their wive, or parents towards their chil dren, in public, we are apt to form our own opinion of their private life, shrewd ly suspecting that this prolusion of good things is not an everyday alfair. We iccouimend to the clergy "rude papas as a subject of a Course of sermons; "nag ging mammas" might lorm a second se ries. To treat your children like ser vants or retrievers, whose highest duty is to fetch and carry, is not the surest means of indoctrinating them with the virtue of courtesy. It may be considered a super- anuated idea that husbands and wives ought to treat each other with ayy sem blance of ceremony, but we are old- fashioned enough to fancy that the oppo site tendency is carried rather to an ex cess just at present. It may Ue a preju dice to think that there can possibly be anything objectionable in smoking cig arettes in lauies' drawing-rooms aud bou doirs; but there always will be some peo ple who lag behind their times There is surely a sufficiently wide mar gin between treating a husband as an utter atrauger aud calling him a beast; but it seems to narrow for some ladies to dis cover. Among brothers aud sisters a lit tle harmless banter is perltctly admissa- ble. aud even perhaps desirable; but a family whose members are always snap ping at each other iu the style at present approved as clever, both in hction and in reality, can scarcely be upheld as a mod el of courtesv at home. Both among brothers and sisters and husbands and wives a great deal of talk which bi with chalf ends iu rudeness. In tociety conventional politeness sets certain limits to repartee, but at home there are no such barriers. In private life, when the more refined weapons of couveisatioual dis- putc rail, the combatants are apt to re sort to vulgar personal ubuse. Servants roa.d sometimes tell curious stories uimnt Hm r-iMirtPati nf their pin nlovers at i,m r rn,ar tfLjr w.nt of it. There are ladies renowned lor their cnarming manners in society who use their maids as safety-valves for the innate rudenes which they contrive to repress and con ceal in public. Doubtless they are hurt when, in dressing their heads, their maids drag the hair with the brush; but that is no excuse for pretty mouths permitting ugly words to escape from them. ihe master may be very fond of his horse, but after sneaking to the animal in tones of the gentlest allection, it is scarcely the sign ot a coi teous gentleman to swear at the groom because his stirrup-leathers are too short. Courtesy at home, like other virtues, cannot be practiced too constantly, or be too well fortified by undeviatiug Habit Even when a man is alone, it is not well to throw atide loo freely the restraints and observances of social ussire. We do not hesitate to say that no one can, when alone, discard all customary forms and ceremonies in dres?, meals, or the like, without incurring danger of Belf desrtedation. A man who neglects his toilet when he is going to spend the even ing iu his own society is decidely want ing in self-respect, aud the bachelor who only makes his rooms comtortable and attractive when he expects visitors must be pronounced unworthy of promotion to the more dignified state ot lite to wbicn all bachelors presumably aspire.
