There are few things In this world which wound us so deeply as the feeling what we are ignored by our fellow-be" i -gs, that we are passed by or looked over. Deny it as much as we mar, every human creature craves notice. We all like attentions, and yet it is astonishing how few pruperly recognize an attention when itis shown them`. - For the most part wetnkc altogether too inany things in this world for granted, as if they were our due, as if it were-only right that they should? come to us.

Whe ther it is that` wejars growing 000 _lII|Ih accustomed _in this country to doing -_,everything on a large scale, orwhatever i it is. the, fact remains that we are alto gether too prone to disregard the little ` courtesies of life. as courtesies. The -most subtle thought is often shown in the smallest attention. We all know that the greatest pleasures in this life `come from the smaller things-not from th6' larger. _ Again and again have I seen this remissness on the part of peo- ple. A` man shows some little attention to a woman and it goes unnoticed. A young man shows a courtesy to a girl, and it Is received as her right. Hospi- tality is extended, and remains unao knowledged. Letters of congratulation are written,`and go unanswered. It is in these smaller things that we are lacking in the true spirit of gratitude. We take them forgranted, absolutely forgetting that nothing is ours by right in this world; that whatever comes to us by way of attention, be it ever so small; is an attention and comes by favor. Our girls should get over this habit of taking thnugsior granted. Nothing will more ' thoroughly or so quickly stultify the spirit of gallantry in our young men as an indifferent reception of their courtes- ' ice or attentions at the hands of young . women. are not free from this fault. ` Of late I have seen hospitality enjoyed at houses by `young men without the slightest `acknowledgement of thanks being made. the young man, in each case, being well-bred and of good familv. It is not meeting the exigencies of the case for those who consider themselves above others to lav this remissness at the door of the uneducated or ill-bred. I have observed in this, as in many other instances. that those who are fondest of priding themselves on their ._manners are very often must decient in" them; The evil is not conned to a class, it is general. V The vast majority of us take too much for granted. That is where the trouble lies. We receive favor for right, and we forget that a signicant, should always be a courtesy , acknowledged. 4 ` ' T But, on `the other handiyonng men ` courtesv extended, no matter how in-T Gleams of Humor.
