who advocates the heterodox doctrine of charity
towards all men, Load the falling" must always
be borne in mind as choice precept 10 be OBJ
, served by those who would merit high standing

"A gentleman, having once or twice in his life
| SO far forgotten his obligations towards society
| in general, as to have INDUCED in glass too
much, must be set down by the Studium lnanane
| Loquendi Society as confirmed and habltual
| drunkard. He f1 9f V8E&Afs8tt ,8N ks8
Should the aforesaid confirmed and habitual
drunkafd" be seen in sober state, in company
with one who may be addicted to the same failing,
il shall be the duty of each member to have him
dragged out of hack in state Of beastly ntoxica
ton, make him maltreat his mother, or, failing in
either ofthese, have him, for atheism and lntoxi-
cation, carried ont OF church on the shoulders Of
the sexton, by which means the Society will
eventually enjoy the pleasure of damning him IN
the estimation of all decent people.
In cases of great emergency where any gentle
man may be found guilty of an offence against
the vanity of a lady belonging to this body, six
| members May address the Chair at once butIin
order to preserve the peace and decorum OF the
Society, it shall be out Of order for more than
/ four to speak simultaneously, on any other oc-
| casion. aa ieaa 4E t98 s7s
/ When no offence can be I" raked up" against
gentleman, the members may resort to anony-
nous letters. Should the gentleman be visiting
a lady, possessed of greater attractions than any
member Of this Society, the following may be
/ used as model: a6 Rsss ssa8 t8
- am very much surprised that Miss $1,000 $500
should receive the visits of Mr.. -----. HE ID

not capable Of supporting wife or maintaining

J, prudence, she will give him his walking papers.
shall soon introduce to her gentleman both
handsome and accomplished" 's'ai 0s.'.,a
Z In all cases Of this kind no member shall have
the liberty of :betraying herself that being q
II privilege vested exclusively in the President,
I'll Any young lady so lost to all sense OF pro-
prety, and 50 destitute Of moral rectitude, as to
= be heard advocating the cause Of her suffering
: fellow creatures, and thus hetraying the weak
!. ness OF humanity, shall be denounced on all occa-
e sons by the respective members OF this Society
= Should it be ascertained beyond doubt that a
, lady in this city has not only pronounced, but
!. supported by every action of her life, these ab-
: surd and ungodly lines

it shall be the duty of every member of the So
ciety to cut her acquaintance, as one who has
> violated the rules of civilized life, and richly me-
rted the contempt and hatred Of her sex.
/ No Young lady possessed of attractions supe-
rior to those of any member of this body, shall be
exempt from general and unqualified censure.
1t should be borne in mind by her, and adhered
to, as her consolatory motto, that
"When from nature all these gifts I've got,
Il IT'S an atront to those who haze them moi. 4
Every member is bound by the most solemn
obligations to circulate respectable amount of
SANDER each day of her life, for the reformation
Of the public morals. o,. -.is.... ly
1t is expected that, at the hour OF meeting,
; each member will make her appearance with
such quantum of information against the cha
racter and reputation of some one individual, az
will afford rpom for a full and deliberate discus
sion of his or her dement's.
When an intimacy is observed between two
friends, if it possibly be discovered that these
friends are really attached to each other, it shall
be the duty of the members generally, to use
every exertion best calculated to destroy that
! intimacy, and to produce lasting enmity be-
T tween them. Should all other means fail, the
! friend present may be cautioned against the friend
absent. This will, no doubt, produce the desired
: effect.
In any case, where member may be detected
in her laudabe exertions to destroy these friendly
:. relations between two persons, she may fabrl
y cate falsehood, which will rebound to her credit
: if not detected but in case of detection, she
shall receive the censure of the Society.
The following are considered henons crimes
! against good order and morality and shaii Do
punished by expelng the offender:
f al Defending injured person
Telling he truth.
: Refusing to circulate slander.
q Obeying The impulses Of a k'nd heaff.
E Modesty and prrtue.
