A Good Marim.-The more quitely and
peacebly we get on, the better for us; the better
for our neighbors. In nine cases out of ten,
the wisest policy is, if a man cheat you, quit
dealing with him; if he is abusive. quit his COM
pany; if he slanders you, conduct yourself so
that nobody will believe him. No matter who
he is, or how he misuses you, the wisest way
is generally to let him slone, for there is moth

dealing with the wrongs we meet with

WHO IS THE GENTLEMAN
"Tis he, whose ev'ry thought and deed
By rules of virtue moves;
Whose gen'rouS tongue disdains to speal
The thing his heart disproves.
Who never did a SANDER forget
His neighbors fame to wound;
Nor hearken to false report.
By malice whispered round.
Who vice, in all its pomp and pow'E
Can treat with Just neglect,
And Piety though clothed in rags,
Religiously respect.
Who to his biighted vows and trust
Has ever firmly stood;
And though he promise to his loss,
He makes his promise good.
