GOOD MANNERS.

care of youth:
''lt is matter of sound policy to cultivate
the manners of our children. For gentle
manners and kind and Obliging address will
do more to gather around enc firm and en-
during friends than strength Of mind and SUI
periorty OF attainmcnts. The manners to
which we refer are the fruit Of the cultiva.
tion of the mind and heart; the outpourings
Of bcncvolence, sincerity and inward purity
In all the departments and professions Of life,
We prefer, other things being equal, to avail
ourselves Of the services ofpersons Of agree
able and obligng manners. Good manners
are 4 passport to favor with all men. They
are coin of great intrinsic value, and every
where current We may be allowed to glance
at some OF the features of good manners,
rs We desire to have taught and pr,cticcd in
our schools, and such MS all persons in well
ordered society are bound to observe. The
conventional rules OF society are not arbitra
ry enactmcnls, which any who choose have II
right to set at defiance. They are essential
to the maintenance and enjoyment of social
intercourse and the iurthcrancc of lis highest
ends. Every person who enjoys the privi.
lcges and benefits OF society is morally bound
to observe lis Wholesome rules. Ill breeding
is 4 sin against good morals, us well lis n
breach Of social laws. No person has any
right to act the clown in well ordered society
or to be unhind and offensive, setting at de-
flancc the laws made for its convenience and
comfort by common consent. The leading
feature OF good MANNERS is Il scrupulons OBJ
scrvancc OF all the rules that regulate social
intercourse. Let the pupils Of our schools

course with each other and their teachers,
and upon all other occasions. MANY of these
rules abstractIy considered. are little things:
and yet in their influence upon the conven-
lcncc and pleasure OF social intercourse, they
are great things a particle of dust is Il
small thing, yet in the eye which il irritatcs
it becomes great thing in its influence. So
infringement of the rules Of rocd breeding
may be in Itself of small moment, but it often
becomes important in the friction and irri'i-
ton which it produces on social intercourse -
EXPANDING THE CHEsT.-Thosc in easy
circumstances, or those who pursue scdcnary
employment within doors, use their lungs but
little, breathe but little mir in the chest, and
thus, Independently OF positions, contract II
wrctchcdly small chest, and lay the tounda-
tion for the loss of health and beauty. All
this can be obviated by Il little attention to
the manner OF breathing. Rcrollcct the lungs
are like Il bladder in their structure and can
