MISCELLANY, j
COMMON POLITENESS.
It is not polite to refuse to accommodate
another, when it is in .your power,
and jou can do it without detriment to
^yourself and without infringing on the
eights of others.
It is not polite to request of another a

'der similar circumstances.
It is not polite to invite .persons to
.jour house when you do not desire to
-see them.
It is not polite to chew tobacco in the
jprcsence of those to whom your breath
may be offeusivc?whether in a dwellnng-house,
a stage-coach, a ctrr or a
-steamboat.
It is not polite to say through anoth-cr,
to a stranger or acquaintance at the
-door, whom you do not wish to see,
that you are engaged or not at home.
^ It is not polite to spit on the floor of
-I ^ Vi nncn *t f?Q r in
a enureII, u uncmue uuuov,, u vu.,
*the cabin of a steamboat or a ferry-boat.
The spitting on the floors of our cars
;and ferry-boats has become so common
that ladies have found it difficult to obtain
seats where they could prevent soildog
their dresses. A person who uses
'tobacco, and-is obliged to spit, shoald
never eater apartments set apart exclu
sively-for ladies and gentlemen unless lie
iis willing to swallow the delectable juico.
It is notipolrte -to'contradrct another,
or rudely "to-question the truth, of his
'remarks. Yon should speak with moderation.
and convince with truthful arguments.
It is not polite, when passing another
on the sidewalk, to turn to the left; al- i
ways to the right. J
It is not polite to hurry through the
reets, jarring one person, jostling an_
?>ther, and steppiug ou the toes of a
It is not polite to use perfumery shoot.,
your person. Nature docs not require
-it in those who keep thcmsclvos clean
tTBeu a person is highly
*cctcd, it appears as if it wre done to
conceal an o.fensive^oreatli or some other
disagreeable smell.
It not polite to-borrow money, a book,
or any article and not to return at the
time designated, or to'wait until-called
upon by the owner. Forgctfulncss or
thoughtlessness is not a justifiable excuse
when.you retain, a moment longer
'than the time specified, whatever belongs
k to another.
It is polite to use pompo us or highbounding
words in conversation. The
more simple words the better, in which
you can convey your meaning and be
understood.
It is not polite to notice the defects
of nature in others, or to speak in their
presence of their deformity. Cast your
eyes on what is perfect, and speak ouly
f ? t. .A _ LI.
rOi wnai is agieeauie.
^ It is not polite to beg earnestly in
H -public for any chariu.blc object. It is
sufficient to lay yourcasj before your
hearers, and let them decide how much
,it is their duty to give. They can judge
without the advice or-dictation of anothA
Methodical Young Lady.?We
Bet- hear of a very precise and methodical
B joung lady .in town, who divides her
time with the utmost exactness. For
instance, she allows j ost so much time
to eating, so^iuch to vis ting, so much
to reading, etc., und on no accident suffers
herself to deviate from her rules.
If she has a caller, she says looking at
B- her watch, "Now, 1 have just (en minutes
to see you :n without infringing
B iudon my time for meditation." A friend
I (Called oot bngago to relate the saj particulars
of the death of her much-beloved
grand mother. The methodical
young woman was affected, even to
tears, but she didn't forget her time
card.. She drew forth her watch at the
most touching point in the story and
begged her friend to cut it short, as in
four minutes and twenty-two seconds
she must practice with her dumb bells 1

Home.? There is something in the S
word Home, that wakes the kindliest Thu
feeling of the heart. It is not merely wim
friends and kindred that render that ??m
place so dear; but the very hills and the
rocks, and rivolets throw a charm around the
the place of one's nativity. It is no C
wonder that the loftiest harps have been 400
tuned to sing of "home, sweet home "..The
The rose that bloomed in the garden help

a thoughtless child, careless in inno- tuar
cenoe is lovely in its bloom, and lovelier ISO
in its decay. No songs arc sweet like ulat
those we heard among the boughs that aboi
shade a .parent's dwelling, when the havi
moming and evening hour found us gay wen
as the birds that warble ovet-us. No nior
waters arc bright like the clear silver hist
streams that wind among the flower- it is
decked knolls where in childhood we die*

and fr'e tdrliips, and fancy we have al- bt.ii
; most forgotten the land of out birth; nut ing
| at some "evening hour, as we listen per- and
chance to the autumn wind, tie rrmem- mot
brance of other days come over the soul, wh.
and fancy bears us back to c lildhocd's crej
scenes, and we roam again in the old ncx
familiar haunts, and press the hand of bub
companions long since cold in the grave ty i
and listen to voices wc shall hear on one
earth no more. It is then a feeling of
melancholy steals over us, which, like
Ossian's music, is plesnsant thoush
ntoumful to the soul. The Swiss Gene- ^
ral who leads his army into a foreign juh
land, must not suficr the sw-eot airs of uf *
Swiizeland to be sang in the hearing of '?w
his soldiers; for at the thrillin?r sound ^cci

they would leave the camp, and fly away (
to their own green Wills. 'How docs the irai

What we owe to Poverty.-? ?ec
Wealth owes to poverty an immense was
debt. Society is immensely and ever- "l8r
lastingly indebted to the poor who have
done its work, the long forgotten work ^
on which it builds and lives. It is pov- nflg
erty that felled the forest and planted eon
the wilderness, and levelled the hills, '1CU
and made straight the paths in which
we walk. Poverty handled and trim- 3
med and laid upon one another every Clr
brick aud stoue by which th city has utot
been built ip, stretched every telegraph a S'c
wire from Maiue to California twisted ihul
every strand of the -cable which binds liini
ihe hemispheres iu electric counuunica- [t it
lion. is,it
Directed by intelligence, it is true, setbut
what were the braiu without the self
haud? Without poverty who would strvc A.
us Htid do our work, build out railroads croi
and navigate our .-hips; and procure st<7
the products by which civilizatiou sub- froi
sists? Let not wealth ei xue 111, ^ii-d say wit'
"It is uty capital ttiut has d -lie all thrt
this." True, niy brother, but whence han
the capital? i J as thou thcu tpuu it gen

Tnut capital is neidod and moulded he i
with the sweat, of thy brothel's lace.? han
His years, his wcaiy years, are iu it; met
it is carved out of thy broth- r s life.? *'
For what is capital but concrete labor ber
?the labor of the past coiiueused aud A.
uiade portable? Poverty, uot wealth, '
has dune the work, lie is the great i the
aud patient creditor c>f us all. Poverty,! liev

guth Carolina Negroes.?Mr.
irlow Weed has been Spending the
ter at Aiken, S. C., whero he own
e property, we believe. His paper,
New York Commercial, publishes *
following:
If the population of South Carolina, .
,000 are colored and 300,000 white. 1
ratio is changing fast. Emigration
h and so does the death rate. A
ws correspondent says that the mory
reports in Charleston for the year (
8 exhibit the fact that out ot a pop j
ion of ubout 40,000 in the city? '
it half white and half black?thier
e died 1,208 persons; of these, 818 j
e colored, and 3'J0 white. That is, <

i, one negro in every twenty-four |
i annually; while in the same time j
f one in every fifty-one whites dies. I
Mic vote of the State is about one in
sn; that is, about 100,000 votes in
Of these, 60,000 are negroes and
J00 whites?t lie majority o f negroes
ig 20,000. The black race is crowd- j
towards the coast; leaving the upper
middle country. This gives the i
intuiu Counties already a majority of
tc votes; and this majority must ini~c
that side of the State. At the ]
t elections, in 1870, it is very pto- !
le that the whites will haven tuajori-"' (

Political Corruption.? Perhaps
liing allows the political corruption j
eh is prevalent in all branches of the i
rerntnrnt more than the conduct of i
hi P. Hale, our Miui-fer to the Court
Ipuin. Of course, Minivers are aled
to import such articles as arc ne- 1
<ary for their personal or family use, j
i of duty. Hut no one would sup- i
b they would turn smugglers and de- 1
id the Government to which are ac- |
iited, as well as disgrace the tTov-' i
