The grand tiling to re member is this: If you wish to be still beloved in '•■ociot;' ainl to find your in vitations still numerous, you must have Bomothing to give in return for social favors. Some people have good looks, an honored name, a long purse, a tal ent for being agreeable, or a distin guished grandfather; but tact and kindness are fair rivals for the distin- guished grandfather, and often win m the race for socio,' popularity. It is sometimes the fault of young people to rely too fully upon their own opinions and impressions, and there are grown people wlio are quite too sure regarding matters to which they have given little attention. A passen- ir on a French steamer tells this hour. Our mariners wore deceived in their calculations, and as the lead didn’t indicate tho proximity of the coast they were not expected to ap proach, they concluded tho currents had carried us into the channel.

It is I wlio answer for tho safety of my ship.
