Manners.
There are many who are amiable and polite away from home, who are not so in the sacred ness of their own household. There are men who in society are courteous, thoughtful, and gracious, who, w lien they enter their own doors, heroine grutt, moody, and even rude. There are ladies who are the brightest charm of the social circle, sunny, sparkling, and thoughtful, who, as they cross their own thresholds, are suddenly transfoi mod, becoming disagreeable, petulant, impatient, irritablo, and unlovely. Some of the most brilliant lights of society are the most unendurable at home. They keep their courtly manners in company, and relapse into barbarism when in the shelter of their own roof tree. They have “careful thought for the stranger.” but for their “own the bitter tone. AVr •/. A*. JA/Ar, tit “II Kkdatf liftitfion”
