She saw the cars move off without her! No words were cal led for. My mother carried a glass of elderberry wine to the poor girl, and left her alone to her tears.

They would do her good. We ourselves needed rest, after the troubled scene of hurry and excitement, and we sat down feeling as if a whirlwind had passed. "It is beyond my comprehension," said my father, when he came home to dinner. "I can understand tardiness," he continued categorically, "as the result of indo-lence. Lazy people dread effort and postpone it.

There is a man in my emplo3r who continues to work sometime after hours. The men tell me that he is actual ly too lazy to leave off work and put away his tools. But Miss Jeannette seems active and energetic." "She miscalculates, papa," I said. "She always imagines there is plenty of time until the last minute." "But herein is the mystery," persisted my father. -'Whence this uniformity of dereliction Why not sometimes too early, and sometimes just in the right time, instead of always and everywhere late, aud making others late?" "Poor girl," said my mother, whose, compassion was uppermost.

"I pity her with all my heart; yet it is not a case of life and deah. This trial may be attended with beneficial results. We will hope so." I am sorry that this hope was apparently not to be realized. The lesson failed to be read aright. Jeannette recovered her serenity and resumed her tardy ways.

A yet severer lesson was needed and it came. The steamer in which, after an absence of ten or twelve weeks, George Allibone wts to embark for home, was lost, and not a passenger saved. My father took me to my poor stricken friend, in her distant home. Pale and dumb with grief, yet with tearless eyes, she let us take her almost lifeless hand. From hei bloodless lips came only the low anguished cry, "If I had only said farewell!" What comfort in words? We offered none.

My father's eyes brimmed over, and my heart was breaking for my poor Jeannette. But relief came speedily. The joyful news was received that George was safe, having a necessary change in his plans, and would arrive in a fortnight Jean nette came up from the depths."

Hast "ever been hurriedly accosted, almost rudely passed, by a friend, who, in society, has always been polite and refined We know you have That friend simply lacks courtesy, ana there is no place where this virtue is more needed and shines brighter than on the street. The man who hurries past and looks very cross and sour, thinks such behaviour is business like. Of all oth men, he is the first to complain of slights and neglects, and to intimate that he is not properly appreciated. The trouble is. people make change to him in his own coin.

He should exercise courtesy which Is very cheap, but comprehends civility, gentleness and true politeness. Now we cannot all be rich oreduchted, but every one can be courteous and ireat everybody civily can recognize persons, however humble in social position, wherever met, with a smile, a word, a nod of recognition, a wave -of the hand, or some other kindly salutation. We have learned that the habitual exercise of true courtesy in the street is the surest way and the cheapest to make and keep a multitude of friends. Eveiy reader of the Monday Morning News will bear us out in saying that it is impossible for us to feel other than kindly towards those who manifest an interest in us-, though we have nothing but a passing acquaintance.

"Doing her hair, mother," we answered, "and she will do it over until it suits her, be it early or late." "Oh, these hair-works!" sighed my mother. "How much tardiness at church and elsewhere is due to over-fastidious hair-dressing! What is that line of Geo. Herbert's? 'Stay not for another pin. I think he must have meant hair-pins." My sister and I sometimes agreed between ourselves to compel her to readiness by standing by to help her in her preparations; but in vain. She must write a letter or finish a story before making her toilet.

Why not accomplish the toilet first, to be sure of it any time remaining, for the other purposes She didn't like to do so. No philosopher could tell why. It is an unaccountable, mysterious thing, rooted deep in some peoples natures this aversion to being beforehand. I have seen it in other people sincethe time when it so puzzled and troubled me in Jennie. It marred the pleasure of the visit most miserably.
