Manner and manner* nVc not pf**eTs<>- ly synonymous. 1 Mie mav poaaess cere- monious mannas nnd id eonjunejion with those have a manner which anta.gonlr.es the very’ people whom thk els borate manners are intended to please.

A person Ignorant of social nsnges ii»d un skilled in the eon ventioti all ties of the period #m{iy lie distinguished by a manner essentially, charm ing. Manner i^ wha't. we are, so to »|HMil<, .in the grain. It is individuality^ It is the outshining of the soul. Man ners are acquired by association, by contact, by slow ilegrees, through sev eral general ions, and by laborious ef fort, line upon line, precept Upon pre cept, in each generation. We observe a similarity in the manner arid in the, manners of certain families. .Some times servants take, on likeness of manner to those with whom they live,’ns children do, personality Isring always a one from 7a; h * ml carrying with itimpre^»iye- ness ot some sort. Hoik children and servants require molding, training" in manners, while manner comes to them, as It were, without their knowledge Occasionally one meets a ge elderly person who has not adopted cer tain forms and modes which are at present in vogue, and -who innocently fails to meet the risfuirements of goiwl form—a thing-to lie regretted, because the greater should everywhere inclndo the less, ami a well-bred manner should presuppose perfect manners. At all times the requirements of politeness are founded hpbn tgood sense, upon kind- ncas of heart,, upon due retrard for the rights of others. The rude, the brusque, ^the abrupt, trample on the sensibilities of their friends, ns well as invade pro priety, sometimes defending them selves as natural, and dfelftrin^ that they 1 abhor affectation and adote sincerity. They appear not to recognize the fallacy in this. A natural manner should of all man ners in the wor^l, be sincere. Sincerity does not imply brutality. Affectation is less heinous an offense than cruelty, and cruelty extsisWherever one person needlessly wounds^another. ~ •— Hentle tnarrners do much to oil tho machinery of life at home and in the community.

PPOGRESG IN RAILWAY CUILDINCi Av .ance Matte la tlie t'l.ltrd State* and l Oreat llrltulu. t « real Hritaln and Ireland have uow Jhuout 20,000 mill's of railways, of which u little over one-half are double tracked. Their cupfcil rUh'Ii and debt amount to the enormous sum of SO00,- 000,003. The net earnings were last yar a little oyer 4 pur cent, of the. capi tal hi vested and the gross "oarnin"s ■were for last year almoot J410,000,003. The railway system of the 1'nited Kingdom is practically finished, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Nothing in the way of new railroad construction Is going on worth mentioning. A little over 100 mib s of new road were a hied, nnd a part of this was nn„exci'ptional matter. '1 lie picture prc*.cntcd in these few figures i , that of a flnishc.l coun try, ftdly developed in all parts arid re sources. 'Now turn to the I'nited States. Our mileage nowgaiuounts to 171,000 inih-s, laoiv than eight.times as large as that iif Hrent llriiaiu. 'i he gross earnings lost year amounted to over a thousand ; dll ions of dollars. During this time t .ere were railroads of a total length « f nearly 4,000 miles constructed. In tVoHTi appreciation; but were it otlwr- wisi', effort in this direction would bo well copnid. Especially in our inti-r- course with children or with the aged, with those who sre in any way at a dis advantage ns compared with ourselves, should we lie careful to exercise a cor dial politeness.
