It often seems to me that even Christian parents. forget that common politeness in the home affects the moral welfare of their children. They seem to forget that this is a Christian virtue and duty, and that to "be courteous" is a divine command. I spent a day recently with the family of a man who possesses so many j Christian virtues, and who is such an earnest worker for Christ, that it seems like searching for flaws in an almost perfect character to write that I detected a defect in that character. I wondered at its nature and at its existence In such a man and in such a home. This defect manifested itself in the absence of so many of the graceful, kindly little courtesies that add such a charm and sweetuess to true home life, and go far towards the formation of right character in children. There were four children in the family: They were having a merry, boisterous time when we entered the house, and there was 110 diminution in the noise on our appearance. "Hello, papa," cried the eldest, a boy about ten years, "got anything for us?" "No, not to-day," replied the father. "Well, why ain't you got anything?" asked the boy impatiently. "Oh, I can't bring you something every day. I did bring you some" * A T 1 "Aii or^nt.lp thing, too; i uruuguv juu man. His name is Mr. H . Come and shake hands with him." "I don't want to," was the prompt reply, as the boy turned to his play One of the younger children came forward and asked if I had any candy. Happening to have a caramel in my pocitet, I gave it to her, whereupon the other three children crowded around me." "Run away, run away," said the father. "Don't you know it isn't polite to tease?" They evidently did not know it, or ignored the fact if they did know it. A struggle here ensued for the possession of the caramel which the little girl had let fall to the floor. "Children will be children," said the father, without attempting to quiet the disorder. The mother here entered the room and commanded the children to "be quiet," aud in a few moments we went out to dinner. I regret to write it, but not once did I hear the words "thank you," or "please" at the dinner table. The husband and wife addressed each other simply as "John and "Mary." "Pass the bread, John, the wife would say, while he would hand his cup a second time, saying: "Another cup of coffee, Mary." The children were sharply reprimanded several times and the eldest hoy relapsed into a fit of suiienness oecause he could not have two pieces of rich cake. A dozen times I seemed to hear the sweet and simple words of Peter: "Love as brethren, be faithful, be courteous," and I wondered how the force of this gentle admonition had failed to impress itself on this man, and why he had failed to teach lessons of simple courtesy to his children, when love and kindness aud courtesy are the most beautiful and graceful thingsattributes of Christian character. 7 . . Illustrated Chrirtian Weekly. What Slit the Blacksmith's Apron. Everybody knows that a blacksmith wears a leather apron, and most have noticed that this apron is split and often fringed at the bottom. An old Sussex smith tells us how this came to be done. Once upon a time Alfred the Great called all the trades together to appoint a Trades-king. He declared he would make that man king who could best get on without the help of the others for the longest period. He made a feast and asked a workman from each trade to come and bring a specimen of his work and the tools used in making H. The blacksmith brought his hammer and a horseshoe. The tailor brought his shears aud a new eoat, the baker his peel and a loaf, the shoemaker his awl and a new pair of shoes, the carpenter his saw aud a nice box, the butcher his chopper and a joint, the mason his chisels aud a carved stone. The tailor's coat was of such surpassing beauty that all the guests declared themselves beaten ; and the horseshoe, the bread, the shoes, the box. the meat, and the carved stone were all thrown aside. The tailor was pronounced Trades-kiDg by Alfred and was duly installed. The blacksmith was angry and declared that he would do no more work while the tailor was king; and he actually shut up his shop and disappeared. One day as King Alfred was riding along his horse cast a shoe, and he was . the first to need the services of the blacksmith; but he could not get into the shop. Then all the other tradesmen, including King Tailor, tried to shoe the King's horse, but each one not only failed, but broke his tools, and could not carry on his proper business until they were mended. King Alfred and the tradesmen then broke open the shop and tried 10 use the blacksmith's tools. The King tried to shoe his horse, the tailor to mend his shears, and each one endeavored to repair his tools. The horse kicked the King, the tailor bruised bis fingers, the fire would not buru, and everybody got in everybody's way. The butcher shoved the baker, he shoved the shoemaker, who in turn shoved the carpenter, wbo shoved the mason, who shoved the tailor, and in the general confusion the anvil was knocked over. About this time the blacksmith walked in looking very angry. The King, however made a humble bow and said, "I was wrong to be led away by the gaudy color of a coat, and I now revoke my decision and proclaim the blacksmith King." All the trades, except the deposed tailor, begged the smith to mend their tools. So he shod the King's horse and mended the tools of all who had asked him; but, in order to show his magnanimity he made the tailor a braudnew pair of shears. King Alfred proposed to drink the health of the hew king, and to sing a song in his honor at a second feast which he gave. The tailor, however, did not reciprocate the blacksmith's kindness, but while the others were .singing, crawled under the table and slit the blacksmith's leather apron, and cut the lower ed^e into a regular fringe. From that day no true black-, smith has ever thought of wearing aul apron that was not slit and fringed at I the bottom. Of it T. Mason hi Wide-Awake. A Xew Theorj of Composting. The March No. of the Southern Farm, Atlanta, Ua., contains two articles on composting by B. F. Browne of tJtoreville, Anderson County, S. C. These articles are scientific yet plain to j thecoumion understanding and withal practicable by the average or even to the "one horse" farmer. The editor of the Southern Farm, who speaks eommendably of Mr. Brown's theory, says: "Mr. Browne's | theory is simply this: "That the stable manure is to the compost heap exactly what the lump of yeast is to the loaf of bread. It is the fermenting principle and when one compost heap is fermenting by the stable manure that whole heap will in turn act as yeast to another heap. For example, he starts with his first heap. He makes a layer of woods soil or vegetable mould. He heaps on this a layer of stable manure, then another layer of vegetable manure, pine straw, or leaves, or whatever he can get. Jn this way he finishes his first compost heap, and lets it ferment. Ordiuarily, a farmer stops right here, having no more stable manure to use. 31r. Brown goes further. He takes the first compost heap and makes another double the size, using the whole of the tirsl heap just as he used the stable manure in the lirst heap by spreading it in the layers of the vegetable mould. He claims that it will ferment the sec ond heap as perfectly as stable manure did the first heap, and that, the second heap can then be doubled into a third heap, and so on until the farmer is ready to use the manure. Mr. Browne claims that this process of doubling up docs not weaken the fertilizer, but that he has tried the third compost heap alongside of commercial fertilizer ami acid phosphate, and the results have been equal. If the experiment is conclusive, the discovery is an important one. It simply means that 011 a limited amount of stable manure as a start?as yeast for the big loaf so to speak?the farmer cau continue to multiply compost heap during the winter as long as lie can get scrapings of leaves, or vegetable mould, or straw to pile into them." Mr. Browne himself says: 1. Tlie principle on which fertilizing matter is made is fermentation. 2. The proper mixture of stable manure and vegetable matter generates this fermenting process. 3. After the lirst fermentation is produced the quantity of manure can be doubled. 4. When this has been refermented it can again be doubled, and so on repeat the process as long as you can gather vegetable mould and remix it, and the last will be as good as the first, for the whole has been leavened. All this is not simply theory but facts demonstrated on my farm for several years past." j The plau is surely worth repeated trials. Conserve Your Strength. Some of our young people have read | till they are crazed, of learned blacksmiths who at the forge conquered thirty languages, and of shoemakers | who, pounding sole-leather, got to be philosophers, and milliners who, while their customers were at the glass trying on their spring hats, wrote a volume of tirstrate poems. The fact is, no blacksmith ought to be troubled 1 with more than live languages; and instead of shoemakers becoming philosophers. we would like to turn our surplus of philosophers into shoemak- , ers; and the supply of poetry is so much greater than the demand thai we wish milliners would stick to their business. Extraordinary examples of , work and endurance may do as much , harm as good. Because Napoleon slept only three hours a night liun- ; dreds of students have tried the experiment, but instead of Austerlitz ami Jena, there eame of it only a sick headache aud a botch of recitation. ' We are told of how many books a man can read in the five spare minutes before brerkfast and the ten minutes at ( noon ; but I wish some one could tell , us how much rest a man can get in fifteen minutes after dinner or how , much health in an hour's horseback ride, or how much fun in a Saturday , afternoon of cricket. He who has such an idea of the value of time that he takes none of it for rest, wastes all his time. A well-dressed and seemingly ladylike woman boarded a street car going up towu the other day. There was no vacant seat, and a nervous-looking man rose hurriedly and ottered his. It was , accepted without even a bow in ac- | knowlcdgnient. The nervous man re- , tired to tlie rear platform, and that al- ( so was pretty well crowded. The car , bowled along some fifteen blocks, | when the well-dressed lady signalled , to the conductor to stop. She swept , to the rear platform, which was still ( crowded. The nervous man was on | the side from which the lady wished } to get to the street. Pie tried to take J up as little space as possible, and j squeezed himself into a condition of . painful flatness. But in spite of his efforts, the well-dressed lady gave him ( the benefit of a muscular elbow, and . walked on his feet. Then, having j reached the pavement, she made a very audible reference io men who . didn't know enough to make way for ' a lady. The nervous man seemed stunned. ! "Dear me !" he exclaimed, "that's 1 the lady I gave up my seat to !" "Cert'nlv," responded the conductor. "That's the way. D'ye know, I've been takin'fares for a good many : years. I believe a gentleman ought to ' give up his seat to a lady, But, d'ye know, when ye give up yer seat to a adyl, ye don't always give up yer seat < to a lady." < ^ ^ Yes, a house made 01 straw, jnoc a doll's house, but a house two stories and a half high, covering a space of 42x50 feet, larger than many ordinary ( dwelling-houses. : On the 2d of May an American ex- 1 hibition is to beoiienedat Earl's Court, . Kensington, England, and (hen this ' house of straw, which is now being * made in Philadelphia, is to be exhibited. The "straw lumber," as they ! call it, issaii to be tire-proof as well 1 as water proof, so that every thing J about the house, even the roof and chimney, is built of materials made from straw. Who knows but that some day we may read items like this in the daily papers: "Air. Blank has just moved into his elegant new straw house, which is said to be the finest private residence in the State." Then we oldfashioned folks, who live in brick, . stone, or frame bouses, will have to ac- J knowledge ourselves sadly behind the times. x No man ever did a designed injury 1 to unottier without doing a greater to himself. j ' "" ' -Y .. Iloart-Ponoc before Siinlatry. Ponce in the heart is one of the conditions of good spiritual work. Indeed, this qualification is unnecessary, for tiie same is true of all kinds of work. We cannot do our best in anything if we are fretted and anxious. A feverish heart makes an inflamed brain, a clouded eye, and an unsteady hand. It is especially true in spiritual work that we must know the secret of peace before we can minister either swiftly or effectively to others in our Master's name. Feverishness of spirit makes the hand unskilful in delicate duty. A troubled heart cannot {rive comfort to other troubled hearts; it must first become calm and quiet. It is often c?M<1 tlwtf /\m? ttflt/% Kna its pared to help others in suffering; but this is true only when one has suffered victoriously, and has passed up out of the deep, dark valley of pain and tears to the radiant mountain-tops of peace. An uncomforted mourner cannot be a messenger of consolation to another in grief. One whose heart is still vexed and uncalnied cannot he a physician to hearts with bleeding wounds. We must first have been comforted of God ourselves before we can comfort others in their tribulations. But there are other fevers besides those which burn in men's bodies. There are heart fevers which may rage within us, even when our bodies are in perfect health. We find people with feverish spirits?unhappy, discontented, fretted, worried, perhaps insubtnissive and rebellious. Or they may be in a fever of fear or dread. These inward fevers are worse evils than mere bodily illnesses. It is better in sickness to have our heart's fever depart, even though we must longer keep our pain, than to recover our physical health while we keep our fretfulness and impatience uncured. We cannot minister while heart-fever of any kind is on us. We may still go on with our work, but we cannot do it well; and there will be little blessing in it. Discontent hinders any life's usefulness. Jesus loved Martha, and accepted her services because lie knew she loved him: but he told her that her feverishness was not beautiful, and that it detracted from the worth and full acceptableness of the good work she did; and he pointed her to Mary's quiet peace as a better way of living and serving. Anxiety - -- oi anj u? in suuic for work. It is only when Christ comes and lays his cool hand upon our heart, and cures its fever, that we are ready for ministering in his name in the most efficient way. Safety of Pence PrinciplesFrom a book of over 500 pages, published by the American Peace Society in 1845, entitled, "Book of Peace," we make the following extract?, in illustration of t he safety of peace principles to those who put their trust and confidence in God, and who prefer to lose their life for Christ's sake, rather than ofiend Him by violating his plainest arid most positive commands and imbruing their hands in their brother's blood: "The natives of the South Sea Islands once came down upon the missionaries with the intention of killing them, for the sole purpose of seizing their property, which they coveted. The missotiaries expostulated with lie m in vain ; they persisted in their bloody design, and seemed on the point of carrying it into eflect. God was the only resort; ami lue missionaries, turning toward eacli other, knelt iu prayer, and expected every moment ilie war club to dash out their brains. They arose, at lengtii from their knees, iind tbe natives Were gone! They feaied an ambush, or some other stratagem, aud searched for them with [ are, but could discover no traces of their assailants. They went to the seashore, but the natives were not there. At length they met a little boy of whome they inquired, 'where are nil tbe people?' 'Why,' said he, 'don't you know? They are gone to the other side of the Island to hide themselves iu. the wood.' And how came they to do that?' 'When they saw you praying,' replied the boy, 'and neard you cull on your Uod. and knew that he is a great and mighty God, they were afraid that he wouid come down and kill them all, so they all ran uway to hide themselves.' " "A case still more remarkable occurred at the siege of Copenhagen, under Lord 2selson. An officer in the licet says: 'I was particularly impressed with an object which I saw three or four days after the terrific bombardinentof that place. For several nights before the surrender, the darkness was ushered in with a tremendous roar of guns and mortars, accompanied by the whizzing of those destructive and burning engines of warfare, Cotigreve's rockets. The dreadful effects were soon visible in the brilliant lights through the city. The blazing lmusts of rich, and the burning cottages of the poor, illuminated the heavens ; and the wide spreading tlames reflecting on the water, showed a forest of ships assembled around the city for its destruction. This work of conflagration went >u for several nights ; but the Danes at length surrendered, and on walking jonie days after, among the ruins, consisting of the cottages of the poor, louses of the rich, manufactories, lofty steeples and humble meeting houses, I 1 discovered, amid this barren field ot J desolation, a solitary house unharmed; ill around it a burnt mass, this alone untouched by the fire, a monument of mercy. Whose house is that?' I isked. 'That.' said the interpreter, belongs to a Quaker. He would neithei tight nor leave his house, but villained in prayer with his family luring the bombardment.' 'Surely,' thought I, "it is well with the righteous. j!od has been a shield to thee in battle, i wall of lire' round about thee, a very present help in time of need.'
