llteness; but wo do like to see per.
sons polite. And by this we do not
mean sickening FrencMfea dandy
ism, Which deals in soft words and
foolish batteries. All bows and smiles
is not yet essential to that we want.
Smiles may be better than frowns,
and bows than q stiff neck. But the
thing desired is a proper attention to
the wishes and feelings of those who
happen to be in company, and in
matters of business, kind words and
a respectable department.
Pollteness will study to please, and
to do this, it Will give up its own pre-
ferences where principle is not COM
prised. 1t never uses hard words.
nor speaks in an arrogant or over
bearing manner. 1t uses suavity and
kindness to interiors, and is afable
to equals, as we'll as courteous to
superiors. 1t will go out of its way
to accommodate, yet it will never put
others TO needless trouble or inconve
nience. 1t will show the same re-
spcct to a stranger, that it does to an
acquaintance. All arc viewed to be
friends, when they are not kno,cn to
be enemies.
a disposition and course of con.
duct Of this kid, will surely lead to
success. A cross, sour, unaccommo-
dating OF impudcnt man, will be
marked and Stunned. His credit
must suffer and his business move
heavily. His affairs will be embar-
rasscd by frequent change of help,
and his ill-will beget the same dispo.
sition in those who have dealings
with him. But the kind and accom-
modating man will have custom and
friends, and every body will court
his society, and give him a good
name.
Policy, if nothing else, should lead
every man who relies on public pa
tronagc for support, to use polite.
ness to all. A single impudcnt clerk
in store, will drive away more Gus
tom than twice the value of his wages;
while one noted for politcncss, will
draw crowds Of customers, wherever
he is. A saucy or unaccommoda.
ting omnibus driver, is sure to cause
an opposition line, and drive his for
mer customers to patronize it, A
railroad conductor of the same class,
will send the same travel on to the
other route. And SO with tho cap
tain, clerks, and other officers of
steamboats,. The public soon will
find out who are polite and attentive,
and such they will amply reward.
