Manners of Men.

A man who repents easily usually errs without much effort. So many men confound a curiosity to know about tbeir neighths with a thirst for knowledge. The boy who grows up to be 20 without ever in his life robbing a bird’s nest, stealing a watermelon, stoning a cat, playing hookey, teasing his sister, or licking the boy next door: the boy who never does all this—well, he never grows up to be 20. The first a man receives word that a friend in the country has sent him in some fish, quails, or venison, be invites every one he meets to coine up and partake with him. The day he invites no one, and the day'that the jirWerff arfives, he'earries it home through the alleys for fear that those he has invited will know it has come, and be over to get their share.— Atchison Globe.
