JJgTotol Bteelj. Ordway JPr &SIL.J :,N Porter, '.'JMepliQiw MM- By Anne M. Prcscutt. But, the subject is a subtle one r and requires a finer analysis and appreciation than our lame pen is capable o giving. Tact is like tbo porfumo o tho wood-violet, liko the whiff of mignonette throughout tho theatrp after tho little French woman has Irnpnod up and down its parquot, its boxes and balconies; it is as gratoful ns the smell of tho box and the pine at Christmas-tido; ns acceptable as the aroma of boiling coltce nt breakfaBt it meots with a pleas ant grace the young and tho old, tho rich or the poor. "Tact." Tho knowing just when to speak and tho right word and in tho right plnce; when to bo Bilout; when to offer our services; whon not to intrude; when to give a goutlo hint, a word of counsol; whon to seo and when to uo blind, "stone blind" and entirely deaf. If wo know how always and if wo had tho ready tact to make tho "awkward squad" feel porfectly at homo; in short, if wo knew just how, whoro niul when to perform all tho gracoful and winning courtesies of our daily lifo that school from which wo graduato by tho ono gate, only death. Oh, for the all-discriminating, inborn fairy gift, tactl "A tact which surpassed tho tact of her box as much ns tho tact of hor box sur passes tho tact of ours.!' Whatj then, is tnctj wo nsk, but tho spirit of truo Christian charity jat all times and m all places iovo r Auy man who is tho owner of a horse, poor or good, fast or slow, valuable or otherwise, knows if ho hns even three grains of sonso (but too many mon havo not ovon ono nnd they aro tho ones too of ten who can own n horso) that sotting the law of mercy to one sido, it is a spocio loss, hard ensh, to illuso his boast of burden; that it will not draw so well nor drive bo well as whon decontly fed, groomed and praised. No living animal relishes and understands commendation bettor than tho horso or missos it more. And what does it cost to givo him a caressing word and a stroko of praiso after n long and wearisome drag or ride. "Tact!" Wo had a fine examplo (au ob ject losson),of tho sonBiblo man. Now it happened on this wiso: A goodly pioco of ground with ups and downs and not a fow stones, land that had been entirely un improved for a scoro of years, foil to his lot to redeem and straighten out to plough and to lovol. For many days under our eyes and closo to our oars wosaw without looking, and hoard without listen ing, tho progress of that work. Paradoxical, but novortholoss strictly truo. "Tact!" ""Well, what was tho work?" "Wait my friend n minuto, pray uso a little tact in your curiosity. A rudo plough, a good, strong nativo horse, and two pea Bants. Ah, but thoy woro tho right mon in tho right placo! On an avorago of onco ovory ton minutcQ throughout tho day wo hoard pre cisely tho same words: "Go along Billy! Get up thoro; what's mat tor you?" in tones moro or loss emphatic as tho urgency of tho momont soomod to demand. Somo times tho stross was on ono word, only; often on ono clause raroly, and thau lato in tho day, strong on tho whole sentence! "Tact. "Whenever tho horso lagged that was his spur tho sharp or sud den or surprised tono of his mas tor's voico at his short-coming novor an ugly tone, novor a blow; simply "tact." It waB amusing, voryj coming in as an under current nil tho day when wo woro busy at anothorkind of ploughing! Tho work was very hard on thoso mon; tho days woro at thoir longest length, tho Bun unrelentingly hot; but not onco did wo hoar a com plaining word in digging down, ploughing and lovolhng Mint land. Aud a prettier, neater or more comploto pieco of work wo novor saw douo. At noon thoso men would un- harncBS tho horso, go torostuudor the troos, oat thoir vory plain lunch, and survey thoir hnlf-dny's work with evident satisfaction.
