| BESTOWING PRAISE. | ‘The Terence Between Expressing Com- pliments and Fiattery. How far may one employ compli- ments, in iis intercourse with society, cons‘~‘*ntly with truth and honor? This question requires us to fix the meaning of a compliment. Is it any thing different fom flattery? Flattery may be given by means of a compliment, and yet there are many compliments that are true, well de- served and sii Both compliment R.R.

But when one is praised for things not meritorious, or which the person has not performed, or for qualities not possessed, or when the praise is out of proper proportion to desert or fact, it is flattery. And yet this joes not hit the pr moral element that deter- mines it. Flattery is praise insincerely given for an interested purpose. A compliment is, usually, praise de- livered in some unexpected and beauti- ful form. A compliment is praise in an art form. It may bea mere inti- mation, a aceful comparison, an allusion, or an inference made or im- plied. It praise crystalized. It bears about the same relation to praise that proverbs do to formal philosophy, or that form does to poetry. But there is a benevolence in com- pliments which tempts one to look for agreeable traits among his frien:ls and not for faults. There is among the young of our time an impression that caustic and critical things are smart and genteel. It is supposed that dash- ing wit, unscrupulous cuts, and some- times an abrupt and rude demeanor, are signs of gentlemanly freedom. This is a sad declension from the polished and kind gentilities of former schools of good! manners. Buta habit of saying agreeable things is « foleagent forthe Rockford and Aurora watches. in Gold, Silver and Filled Cases, very cueap.

The Age of Criminals. Most criminals are young. It is seldom that a grave crime, provided it be the first, is committed after the age of thirty. A careful statistician has proved that of the entire male population of England and Wales, the largest proportion of criminals is found to be between the ages of twenty and twenty-five. Five times as many crimes are committed in the five years be- tween these limits as in the ten years between the ages of fifty and sixty. Dividing the whole population into groups of those from ten years to fifteen, from fifteen to twenty, from twenty to twenty-five, fram twenty- five to thirty, from thirty to forty, from forty to fifty and from fifty to sixty, itis found that from the age of twenty the tendency to crime decreases at each successive term thirty-three per cent. in the case of women, and twenty-five per cent. in the case of men.—Rev.
