lei asks him how, in a countiy so
poor as N'owi Keolia, ho contrives to
sell ho many clocks. '..Mi. Slick paus
ed,' continues tho author, 'noifcon
siileiing the propiioty of answering
the question, and looking mo in the
face, said, in u confidential tone:
"Why, f don't c.iru if I do tell you, foi

said he, "1 luno hill ono clock loft,

stooil the .iluo of (line better than
most of his neighliois, if one might
judgc'ftoin Iho appearance of oveiy-
thiug about him. After the usual
salutation, an imitation to alight was
accepted by Mr. Slick, who said 'he
wished to take leave of Mn, Flint ho
foie he left Colchester.' Wo had loud

Clockmakcr pointed to Iho viow fiom

'Your beasts, dear me, jour beasts

ing which, he went out to order them
to ho taken to the stable. As tho old

Mr. Slick drew near tome, and said

Good breeding gives us certain def
inito riilec, and while thoo are ob
norvod society is possible, else it dis
integrates. J'ut we may, without
losing self-respect, exercise a vast con
trol and not show that we distrust
people, nor that we vastly like them ;
wo need not wear our lieaits on our
sleeves for daws to peck at. Mem
bers of tho same family should not
quanol in public. This is often done
by two sisters of uncertain tempers,
and the crowd laughs. The French
have a proverb about this, pel haps
too vvoll known to bo quoted.
Xevcr show that you feel a plight.
This is worldly wise us well as Chris
tian, for no one but it mean person
will put a slight on another, and s tclt
a person always profoundly respects
the person who is unconscious of his
fe b!e spite. Xevcr rcent publicly
a lack of com tosy; it is in tho worst
t.tsto. What you do privately about
dropping such an acquaintance must
be left to vourself.
Ton person of noble mind, the con
tests of society must cvei seem poor
and furious, as they think of these
narrow enmities and low political
inaiicuvcH, but wc know that they
exist and that wc mut meet them
Temper, detraction, and small -pitc,
are as vulgar on a Turkey catpet and
in a palace as thoy could be in a ten
ement house; nay, wore. for the ed
ucated contestants know better. Hut
that they exist we know as well us we
know that the diphtheria rages. We
must only reflect philosophically that
it takes all ort of people to mike a
world; that thcic are good people,
tank and file; tint thcic ia a valiant
army and n noble navy; that there
ai e also pirates who will board the
bo-1 ships, and ti.iitors in ev ery army ;
and that we must be ready for them
all ; and if we live in a crowd we niui-t
propitiate that ciowd.
Xevcr diow a factious or peremptoiy

Hear, ai long as jou can, heat, or a

That is neutral ground. Xevor, by
word or look, distuib our hostess;
this is an occasional duplicity which
is ordered by tho laws of society.
And, in all honesty cultivate a grace
fill salutation, not too familiar, in a
ciowd ; be giavo.ind decorous alw ays
Httikc -aid that mannois wcio more
important than laws. ".Man nets aie
what vex or soothe, comfoit or purify,
exalt or debase, b.nb.iri7o or lefino us
bv a constant, steady, uuifoim, inson-
siblo operation, like the air w
bieathe."
A salutation may have a great deal
of meaning in it. It may say, "I re
spect )ou, and wi-h you well." It
may say, "I love ton." It may say,
"1 lute you." In a ciowd it should
simply say tho fut. The bow of a
voting lady should be maidenly, quiet,
not too demonstiiitive; jet not cold
or foi bidding. The salutation of a
man to a woman cannot bo too re--pectful.
It is to bo feared that "old
fashioned courte-y" has no place- in
our fa-hiomtblo society. There is
either coldness or loo gic.it familiar
ity. Tho niannets of young women
aie apt to bo too careloss. They om
ulato the mannois of men and of tho
ago too much, not toniouibciing that
thoy should carry in their goutlo ways
thd good mannois of all ages. Thoy
.-hould tomomber that vvhon a wom
an's salutation ceases to be delicate,
elegant and fiiii-hed, she steps down
from lior thiono and tlnow- away hor
-ceptei. Theio is no salutation, how

A passenger going West fiom De
troit by rail tho other day had a, pass
to Chicago. When the conductor took
it up be tiskcd several questions lo
satisfy himself thai the pass had not
been tiansferred, and tho holder of the
iiistcboaid didn't tako it as v,ood na
tuiodly as sonic men would He
didn't have much to say, but ho was
determined on revenge. As soon as
the conductor loft the car, the man
changed cats, removed his hat, and
looked like a different person altogeth
er. After tho train left the next sta
tion the conductor came along with
an eye out for new passenger'', and
prcaontly reached out fur the holder
of llio pns.
"I havn'tgot.tny ticket," was the
surly answer.
"Then you inu't pay your fare."
"f won't do it."
"Sec heie," snid the conductor as he
began to wake up; '"j-ou must eithor
pav jour fare or pioduco a ticket. If
not, I will drop jou on the road."
"Drop and be hanged."
The tiain wa not stopped, but after
a run of ton minutc it leached a sta
tion and atrangenients wcio made for
bouncing tho man, When all was
complete he showed his pit.
"Why didn't you tell mo you had a
pass'" lonred the conductor.
Why didn't j-ou ask me?" shouted
tho traveler.
"Well, I don't like such fooling."
"Xor I, eitbei,"
The tiain went on, and the man
put on his duster, traded hats with :i
pan'cngerand again looked like 'oinc
one else. He changed his seat to the
front edge of lhec.tr, and was seem
ingly sound asleep when the conduct
or .lgain had occasion to pass thiough.
He took two fares and then held out
his hand to tjie traveler. There was
no response; ho shook the sleeper
gently, but the latter slopt on. Then
he ehook him good and stout and
called "ticket" in his car.
"How dare jou skakc me around in
this manner?" shouted the man as he
awoke and stood up
"Ticket, please."
"Hut I don't please! How date you
como to me every time the tiain
leaves a station?"
The conductor looked down the
aisle, thought ho saw the man with
the pass in his old seat, and said to
the other:
"Jomo sir, don't bother me, I want
j'our ticket!"
"You can't have it!"
'Thou I'll put you off."
He reached for the bell tope, but
seeing si genei.il grin all around the
car ho stopped and looked more close
ly at tho man and recognized him as
the ono with the pass. He went out
without a woul, and when lie return
ed half an hour later ho expected an
other tiap. He looked caicfully over
the car, and was going slowly aloof;
in seaicli of new fates, w lion a man
with his coat ofl'and under tho influ
ence of liquor, called o-it :
'Shay, captain, I hafn't got any
ticket."
"Ah I j-ou can't boat mo again
know jou as soon as 1 onteied the
cat !' chuckled the conductor, as he
walked oil' with . i btoad grin on Ins
face.
It was not until he saw the shiit
slecvcd man get oil' at the ne.xt sta
tion that lie knew he had boon mis
taken again, and had lot him travel
for nothing, while the nun with the
pass was in the smoking ear.

Dr. Tanner, who is creating a vast

in fasting, formerlj' lived at Minnenp"

in that cilj as follow" :
Dr Tan tier is a well-known character
in this city, where he has gained
some lotoriety since his fast of forlj--two
dajs, made in this city two tears
ago. He is icported as a man much
given to Iiobbj'-riding, and, though
possessed of more than average ability
and great Acquirements in his profes
sioi., has not devoted himself much
to the practice of medicine, devoting
more of his time to the temperance
cause and lo discussions in tho Liber
al league, a society of athei"ts, ration
ali'ts, etc. More rectntly he bus giv
on his time almost entirely to research
and correspondence on the subject of

A man who loudly calls attention
lo the fact that he has resolved to
"turn over a new leaf in his life is
notiilwajs to bo trusted. He who
perpetual! j makes resolutions is pret
ty sure to break them. People should
refoim, if it be ncccssarj to do so, at
once, and without parading their in
tentions before the eyes of the world.
Thej' should go to woik silently, and
with a firm determination to carrj
out, no matter how trying or hard it
may seem at first, those virtuous de
signs which they deem necessaij- for
their vvelf.ne. They should not look
to the world for applause; their high
est lew.nd will in due time come for
the good thej- have done for them
selves or others jmcimwhile thej- will
enjoj- that which assur.idly is a street
and precious possession the con
sciousness that thej- are worthilj
fulfilling tho object for which thej
were brought into this world. A more
odious form of conceit than this
bragging about self-reform does not
exist, and no efibrt should bo spared
in ordci to stamp it out. Let those,
then who wish to impiove, labor to
that end in silence and in sincerity;
successes sure to crown their efforts.
But thej- should not flaunt their ex
