leave the bro1dcluth.-c and all the rest
The dangerous waisc,at cllIe by cJckners west, =
The things nanei '.pant<.'' in certain documents,
A word not ma ie ior gentlemen, bnt .gents;''
one sllgle Precept mi 5lt tie whole cJnIense:
BE sure y"nr tailor is Of sense:
But add little care. a decent pride.
Aud always err up,n the sober side
Three pairs Of bots one pair Of feet demands,
u polished daily by the owners llnIs
1t the dark menll's visit save from this.
Have twice the number, for he'll sometimes miss
One ptirt'r critics Of TIE nicer sox,
Cfse in he lrsep's cnging circumfl-x.
Long. narrow. light-the Glilic but of love
kind Of cross between buui and rluve
But not J tread on everlasting thorns
And s,w in suffering what is relpeI in c,rn,.
Compact. but easy, strong, substantial. square,
Let Eatlve art compile the medium pair
The third remains. AMI let your tasteful skill
Here show some relics Of affection still.
Let no stiff cowhide. reekirg from The tan,
~ rough caontchouc, deformeI brogan,
Disgrace the taperinL ~ dine of ynnr f-et.
Though yellow torrents gurLle thruu ii lie street;
Bnt the Patched cafskin arm against The fl I'd
Ia neat, i.ht shues, imper vlOus to The mud.
Wear seemiy gloves; not black, nor yet toolight
And least Of all the pair thar once was white;
Let the dead party where you told your loves
Bury in peace It's dead bouquets and gloves;
Shave like the goat, il 50 your fancy bids,
But be pafent,-don't neglect your kids
Have 4 good hat; the secret Of lour uoks
Lives with The beaver in Canadian brooks;
Virtue may fl ursh in old cravat,
But and nature Scorn The shpckinr hat
Does beauty slight yon from her "a: abndes
Like bright APOLLO. you must take to Rhoades,-
Mount the new c: sur.-ie self will melt;
BJos, gloves may fail the hat is always felt.
BE Shy Of breas'pins; plain weIl-ironed. white.
W ith small pearl butloDs-two If them IN sight,
Is always genuine, while yonr gems may pass,
lhcngh real diamonds, for iIno5c 81 $.
But spur those paltry cs-A Atlantic lies.
\ That round his breast the shabby rustic ties:
Breathe ,t the name, prraned to haow things
The indignant lauudresS bushes when she brinrst
Our freeb1rn race, yerse 10 every check.
Has t"ss' d the yoke of Europe from its neck;
From the green prairie, to the sea-eirt town.
| The whole wide nation turns its Collar; down.
! Tile stately neck is mcuho,d's manifest Tart;
It takes The blood freshest from the heart;
With short curled ringets close around it spread,
How light and strong it lifts the Grecat head
Thine, fair Erecheus Of Minerva's WALL
Or thine, young athlete ofrhe Tolvres hall,
Sno,th as the pillar flashing in the sun
That filled the arena where thy wreaths were won
Firm as he band that clasps the an,lered spill
Strained in the winding anaconda coil
spare the cuntras; it were only kind
To be little, nay, intensely blind
Choose Tor yourself know it cuts your ear
know the points will ,metilnes interfere:
know that often, like the flia john
v hom seep surprised with half his drapery on,
Yuu show your features to the astonisled town
With one side standing and the other DOWN
Bat Omy frenI my favorie fellow man,
If Nature made You her moderate plan.
Sooner than wander with your windpipe bare
The flu Of Eden ripeaing in the air,
Wit. that lean head-s,aik, that protrudn! chin,
Wear standing collars. were they made of tin,
And have neck coth-by the throat of Jove,
Gut from the funnel Of rusty stove
/ "a halter on Washington Street Boston
