Sonic one lias said that r. touch ?f nature makes the whole world kin. W ith equal truth it may lu-j' said a touch of vanity hinds all j, mankind together?that means > womankind also. And why so? j. Much reasoning is not required to conclude this fact. W'e meet , a person; suppose that person1 should studiously avoid showing j* any pleasure in our company, should never speak a word of praise, never commend a single j act of ours; and not only never praise us by words, hut in addition. never by any act show the slightest approval or pleasure at our movements or even ourselves. How should we act toward that . person? I?y no means should we seek his or her company: and nothing in common would be ours. That person would not be . "our kind." not congenial; there- j fore not akin. Hence, we see that people must, by word or act. flatter us I to pain our companionship or;! friendship. We have absolutely , nothing to do with those who do not. Now this does not mean N that we are compelled to lay it ( 011 with a paint hrush. or to open 1 wide the faucet: not at all. In fact, veiled flattery is the very * best kind and shows a master I mind hack of it. Just flatter a ^ man or a woman, who never once; suspected your motive, and you; j have accomplished a jjrent feat. \nd it is a nretty safe rule, that lie who loudly proclaims his dis-^ late for flattery or even pfwsis the very one most easily flattered. I Yes. indeed! The whole race c of ns need a certain amount of | llatterv to live on: our vanitv * must he tickled once in a while. I >r life irets blue, Vanity is that dniost insatiate desire for 110- v ice. attention, coniinendation and I iraise. jj Furthermore. a certain amount >f this "desire" is ^iven every nan (every woman inherits 0 so that it is the common chord. | finding ns together. Snatch vani-\ v out of the world, and the me- . rhanism part and parcel of the vhole thing would tlv to prices.;'" Canity! Why, without it life!. ,voud become a trudge through:* lespond's deepest aloug-h \Vit4-t>ut vanitv. and food for it. the ^ nost selfish race of mortals j vouhl evolve, and this selfishness. . vhich works its own destruction. ^ vould finally eliminate the race. h> after all. vanity is a good tiling; ^ t makes us kin : it keeps us alive ^ m<l suffices to make poor little nan happy for a season. 1 S THE VILLAGE. N Life in a village has many = lrawhacks and disadvantages. Accommodations and conveniences hat seem a necessity in large citi-' s are entirely lacking in the little I tamlets of but n f??ve hntwlpo/l I ouls. There are 110 electric ights, no water works, improved itreets. small stores with poor itocks, poor mail facilities, and nany other items that might he. nentioned. And yet there is a jood si<le to this life in a small own. Everybody knows everybody lse. and a stranger becomes acpiainted in a few hours. Walk lown the lone street and every j me you pass is known to you; i ."ou call them all by the Christian tame, and even the smallest girls ind hovs you know and call by tame. Quite to the contrary is 'itv life. There, vou know hut I ew, and greet fewer still; a tranter may abide for days and nay be years, never attracting a >assing notice. The rule of the ity is "every one for himself and he devil take the hindmost-" ["here's more selfishness in one <|uare inch of the city than in a qitare mile of the village. Hut he great blessing of life in a vilage is the svmpathy between the1 leighbors. There, people are inleed neighbors- The smallest joy ? s shared by every friend in the ittle town. What pleases one is; pleasure to all; friend rejoices ^ vith friend. And when sorrow J alls, it strikes the whole pco pie. 4 \ death in one family casts a 3 loud of jjloom over everv heart: 4 i loss to one is felt 1>\ all others. t is beautiful to see how people' l<> sympathize with each other.! oj nil the place to see it is the little mi 'illagc. [ n May this neighborly feeling live m. ever lighting the burdens of ife. and making sweet the lives.*, f men I K Mr. L. M.
