POLITENESS.
Politeness is a daughter of sacrifice.
It is a gift of nature, but it may be cue-
tivated and enlarged; it is really the
foundation of virtue of the highest qual-
ity,. if only the best company is kept
and the higheet claims acknowledged.
It is the sigu of serenity, of at mind at
ease; of unstudied outlook, quick to
diseover an opening for ex.ereise with it
ready eye and a patient ear. The school
of grime is a large one, with many
grades; yet in the lowest forms who
have not discerned a delicate refinement,
a gentle affability, it shrinking modesty,
a sweet earnestness, which the signs of
a secret working that eve know little of,
but whose premoua fruits drop into our
hands and are sweet to our taste and
it delight to our eyes.
The milder virtues are emphasized in
the Me of the Master, and His real fol-
lowers are ever prone to say, "Thy gen-
tleness has made me great," The Mild-
er virtues are found in the home, and
are ilinstrated in the conduct of wife
and mother. Here man is tamed, and
toned and touched by the gentle hand
•and advice. of one who finds that the
home is furnished with responsibilities,
ana claims are made which were little
dreamed of in earlier days. A distin-
guished Frenchman has said that "God
instituted little and sanctified much."
In looking carefully at life I find that
etimehome is the only institution whicb
has ante- flqwn out of heaven from Clod,
for what is die, church Mit an enlarge-
ment of .the seine 'thought, and what is
the state but another enlargement? "I
know Abraham that he will command
his children. Shell I hide from Abra-
ham the things that I do?" In the well
• appointed home anger is curbed, pa-
tience is cultivated, flowers of purity un-
fold, dews of gentleness distill, forgive-
MSSis freely dispensed, faults are mini-
mized, excellencies are enlarged; we
find these elements in God and nowhere.

teous in mercy. "He Mode it way to
His auger and did not stir up all His
wrath.' "Judgment is His strange
Work, and when He shaves He shaves
with a razor that is hired."
If politeness is the daughter of same-
fice, here as life goes on dome the
daughter grow like the mother! Oh, the
hidden agonies that one day will be re-
vealed! In the great foreign mission
field sometimes the heroics rise

MAKER 1.
Rupert Cecil, Berl of Aubrey, had been
brought up, so to speak, by Ins mother,
end perbaps his life would have been
very different but for the peculiar faults
and virtues which seem to be insepar-
able from n woman's Odium of it boy's
life into inenboa.
But would his life have been better or
worse? There were those who said it
had been so bad that it could not well
be worse; and there were °there Nebo
said that the especially 'large crop of
wild oats he lied sown was no more than
the natural reaction from a foolish we-
inan's restrictions, and, that he would
make all the better men in the end.
A great deal of nonsense is talked
about wild oath, however' and perhaps
the real teeth is that the world does
not so much care how line it erOP a
young man sows, as how large it clam he
harvests.
.As a matter of feet, Rupert ,was still
owing his wild, °ids waile the dowagers
were whispering his name among thene.
eelves, and while the old fellows, who had
all been through the same cOurse, were
slinking their heads and prophesying that
there Wield, be very little left of the
enormous estates by the time young Au-
brey was done with his wild oats.
A very deliontar young nobleman was
Lord Aubrey; handsome As a Greek god,
with the careless grace of Antanous,
something of the vigor of Achilles, and
with all the reckless enthusiasm for
plomure that Bacelaus might be supposed
to have had. '
LOVO lie laughed at, when lie thought
of it, which was not very often; roe the
most careful augling of the most skilled
fishers in the matrimonial waters never
secured from him so much as a nibble.
No one could say that he ever did
anything dishonorable, himself; but some
of his companions were of a sort usually
avoided by a man who values his reputa-
tion. But that was not to be wondered
at, eince the only qualification he re-
quired in his companions was that they
be "good fellows.' "Good, fellows" are
usually bad men.
During his last year at Oxford bis
-mother died. It was it severe blow to
him, for she had managed all his affairs,
great and small, for him all his life.
He finished his course at the university
with greet sobriety, carrying off high
honors, giving rise to the prophecy that
he would be a bookish Mall.
Within a year his university career
was forgotten, or remembered as some-
thing -incredible; for when he made his
entry into the wild set that opened its
arins to hien, be made it with a plunge
that gave some ground to the prediction
that be had been governed so long by his
mother that he bad no self-government
at all, and would end by 'taking historic
ducks and drakes of the enormous for-
tune that had been amassed for him.
Finally the climax came. At least
people shrugged their shoulders and look-
ed askance at each other when his name
was mentioned; and they said it was
the climax, As it matter of fad it was
only a stage in his career; and although
the girls only whispered his name when
they spoke of it among themselves, the
mothers certainly found. him no less de-
eirable as it son-in-law.
"When he returns from the continent,"
they said to themselves, "he may be
willing to settle down."
It happened. in this way: One of the
members of the partieularly wild set to
which he young Lord Aubrey belonged
was very near to the throne. One of the
elder Ceeils, it cousin of Rupert, had
ventured a little advice.
"Be eareful, Aubrey! You're in risky
company," lie. had said.
.Rupert bad smiled, scornfully.
"A prince of the blood should be good
enough company for even a Cecile lie
had answered.
"True enougb," the older man had.
responded, with it shrug; "but don't for.
get that when a prince of the blood
dances, somebody else always pays the
fiddler."
Rupert remembered the saying, which
he had thought horribly bad form at
the time, 'but which had struck him with
peculiar pertinency when later there
earae an exposure of the doings of hit
set. It was one of those scandalous af-
fairs with which the blood royal is mix.

The part of the royal libertine was
carefully glossed over, and the burden
of the whole miserable business fell on.
the broad shoulders of Lord Aubrey;
and there it rested, he spite of what was
privately said in bis behalf by it few
who pretended to know Rupert.
"Aubrey," said they, "might do any
wild and reckless thing, bat a disgrace-
ful thing—never."
But most people thought he was very
wise to go to the continent, as be did,
to there await the benevolent forgetful-
ness to which misdeeds in high life aro
mercifully treated,
To the world Aubrey maintained a
contemptuous silence; but he did free
his mind to the chief cause of his self-
expattiation before be took leave of Ms
native shores.
"A word. from yam" be said, itulig-
nantly, "would Mate prevented this, but
yea did not see fit to say it, arid I run
bearing the burden of your dishonor."
gt will soon blow over," mid the
prince, naiserebly.
'Slow over!" retorted Rupert, scorn-
fully. "And that i$ all you think of.
You do not deserve that I should keep
eilence. You thiuk so little 'of althea -
or !"
"But you will not say anything?"
cried the abjed prince. -
Rupert tossed his hand with it ges-
ture of disgust,
"No, 1 will not say anything," he re.
plied; "but it is for the sake of the
great prineiple of royalty, and tot for
your sake."
So he went to the eontinent, and took
with bile the reptuation of a very Wiek-
ea young nobleman t a reputation which
he took no Very serious pains to cheep

'The boon companions were all mem-
hers of the old set, end they had at-
taehed themselves to him because of his

in every station of life, and the hurt.
griest of them are those who swim in
the highest waters.
If Rupert bad had. any thoughts of
altering hie mode of life, these parasites
would have found a thousand alluring
reasons for not doing so. They led him
front capital to 'capital over the conti-
nent, and they showed him all there
was to be seen of a tertian tide of life;
so that in the course of a year he might
be *aid to be it past master itt the whole

might hove been because the pleAsures
lie hod been WM:aging in had begun to
pall upon him. It might have been, in
addition, because be had had several
disagreements with his three Mende;
which. disagreements had been mostly of
his own anaking, since in the nature of
things they were not whet the tbree
parasites wished for.
Not that theywere devoted to Rio

to deteet and even despise hitn; he had

men, and lied never failed to pay a

what was due to the other sex

during their life abroad, when he
had necessarily seen rt -ore of them
than before), he had had occasion to first
remonstrate- and then to indignantly
threaten them with separation, if they
did not mend their ways.
The relations between them. while
they were at the hotel in the Tyrol,
were, in, fact, severely strained, and, as
Lord Hawkshurst frankly said, under
his breath, to the others:
"He's taken the bit he his teeth, and
he won'b be controleld any longer,"
"Or thinks he wont," sneered Sir
he won't be controlled any fonger."
"Don't make any mistake, Loftus,"
drawled the Honorable Reginald; "Au-
brey has got the habit fo kicking over
the traces, .and nothing on earth will
curb him. For my part, I'M not going
to waste any more time on

He got up from the easy chair he had

"Done! in gtline.8.8," responded Hawke

Ottt came their note -books, and the
bet was booked.
"How will. you find out?" demanded
Sir Charles.
"Ask the landlord. Here he comes, by
a special providence. Landlord," he said
to the host, "any of/my coantrymen
stopping here?"
"None, milor," answered the host, ob-
sequiously.
"Bad time for travellers, I suppose?"
said Ilawkluirst.
"Yes; only two arrived Mime your
party, Tailor,"
"Men, of course?" said. Hawkhurst.
"No hope of any ladies comingnit this
season."
"But your are wrong, milt:ire" cried the
landlord, in triumph. "They are ladies,
and orie ot them is more beautiful than
words ca,n tell."
"You are enthusiastic," gala Hawk -
keret, casting a giallo at Loftus. "What
is the name of the divinity?"
"Her mother is the Marquise de aen-
ae," replied the landlord, proudly, for
he felt the honor of such high rank.
"You see," said Hawkintrst, when the
landlord had left them, "elothilde is
here, aud the guinea is mine."
"Your luck is good," said Sir Charles,
with the ghost of a sneer on his lip; for
he believed that his friend had been sure
of the 'arrival before betting. "But I
shall not quarrel with that now, if it
only continues good. 1 am nob so hope-
ful as you. You know thet Aubrey has
always been to cold toward women when
it came to a matter of real po,ssion."
"Trust me, and above all, trust elm

dence.
"And the girl?".
"Take her on faith, too, When Clo-

That evening, after Vernon was gone,

When the two ladies left the parlor,
which they did leave before long, .Aubrey
sought Hawkshurst, who was smoking
cigar in the moonlight. Hawksburst,
who WAS,. by far the clevereet of the
noble parasites which had attached nein•
selves to the careless young nobleman,
had for it long time mAintained a,pow.
erful ascendency over the latter.
Now that a rapture was imininene,
perhaps It was no more than natural
that Anbroy should feel more unpleasant
toward him than toward either of the
other companions who had done Si)
much to make vice palatable to him.
He approached Hawkshurst, therefore,
with more anger in his heart thaii the
incident of the evening seemed to justify.
"Ohl" said Hawkshurst, sullenly, "it's
you."
"Yes," replied the nil, "it is I and
wish an explanation.'
"It seems to me," retorted the other,
"that it is 1 who ought to have an ex-
planation. Why need you have intere
fered with my game."
"I don't 'tendert-tend your game," ans-
wered Aubrey, hotly; "but I do not hes-
itate to say that it looks uncommonly
liko somethnig infamous."
''011!" sneered Hawkahurst, "your vir-
tue is troubling you again."
The young nobleman was hardly equal
to answering a sneer of that sort, and it
mode him the more forious to be aware
of the fact,
"That is not to the purpose," he said.
"I lay no claims to extraordioary virtue,
but I have always drawn the line at any-
thing dishonoring to myself."
"I don't ee," retorted Hawkluieste
coolly, "that you bave any calorie iii•
this matter,"
"I don't see it either," replied Aubrey;
"but I am satisfied that I run being given
oneern in it that I repudiate. I am
not yet the adept in vice that you are,
and I cannot guess whither you tire tend-
ing in this matter; but I ein not so blind
as not to so that I am being used. And
wean you Lord Hawkhurst, that I will
hold you to it stied acountability for

"It looks to me," said Hawkhurst,
with an evil sneer, "as if you were seek-
