RULEs FOR THE GENTLEMEN
l. 1t is the mark Of true refinement in
gentlemen entering car partially filled,
to make lounge Of the seats stretching
himself cut q. tall length! Ii his boots
sol! the cushions, no matter, the ladies
(considerate creatures) wear busters for
this very purpose. to remove any mud Or
blacking from tue seats, left by these gen.
Uemen.
5. Smoking has been prohibited, except
on the platforms, from whence ladies are
often regaled by aromatic zephyrs; but
chewing, that more elegant accomplish
ment, is still allowed, and as there are no
spit,oons in the cars, gentlemen can use
their fancy by expectorating where they
please; some prefer the street, and should
breeze hu.ter and bring the saliva back
into the cars, it makes a most agreeable
shower Of a summer asternoon; but the
most truly refined mode is to make spit
toon Of the mating, and whatever is left
remove by sweeping up With their length
ened skirts. IA
1t is surprising how any one oau doubt
the "ti iy Of long dresses, when they are
found OF such pubic use in wiping up to.
bacco spittle from our cars, &c.
g. When gentleman sits opposite a
beautiful girl, he should stare at her all
the tune. She will be much gratifed by
this, as all women are vain; and if she
chance to blush under the gaze, it will en-.
hance her loveliness.
4. A gentleman should rise immedi.
ately when = fashionable young lady wants
a seat, but show no politeness to either
the aged or the shabbiIy dressed; it is the
mark OF true born gentleman to show
them no attention whatever.
The most convincing display one can
give Of being finished o ntieman, is to
ask lady in crowded car to sit on your
Tap.
RULES FOR CoSprcroRs.
l. Keep your car as dirty as possible
ushions dusty, windows and lamps dingy.
BE sure and never trim the lamps until
the time to light them; then use for that
Purpose the strongest matches you can
fnd-the damaged ones will be best, ~
you will probably have to use half dozen
for that purpose, and it will make All
agreeable odor fer the passengers. Never
be in haste in having broken glass attend
ed to, especially in winter.
2 Keep your hammers, &C., under the
cushions; this will make a pleasant vari-
ETY. to the monotony Of car riding, to the
fortunate individual who may chance to
occupy that seat
3. In winter, when the weather is in.
,enseiy cold, make frequent trips through
the car Qeaving the door open) to speak
to the driver; some Of the passengers may
demonstrate, but it is the duty of con-
ductor to attend to the health of the psss-
engers by a frequent ventilation Of the
car. .-. +&s .stas t.a
4. Be all attention te young ladies, but
quite the reverse to the aged of sither sex.
Indeed, it will be we'll, and we suggest it
in this connection, that our spruce young
conductors call a meeting for the purpose
of breaking up the barbarous practice Of
old people riding about in cars. 1t will
be we'll to put n stop TO this annoyance, as
il is always th ir stou moremcnts which
endangers the situations of drivers and
conductors by being "behind time. -
Should the meeting be successful. it Will
not only prove a benefi, to the fraternity,
but also to our foot citizens generally
and IL by this arrangement the rroprie
tors find themselves some hundreds out Of
pocket at the end Of the year, what Of
that? Is that to be compared to the stu.
ations Of their employees being endan.
gered by being "behind timer
S. Some fec of our young conductors
have adopted a spirited nede Of introduc.
ing ladies into the cars, viz: They ring
the bell while the lady is still on the plat
form; this gives her graceful pitch into
the cars, which generally without the
passengers are al Frcnch) creates visible
merrinsent. and mAkes pleasing variety
these doll t,mss. w warmly recommend
CHS elegant improvement to alt our con-
ductors. .e"'8>s 8f.z# @@ LATE NJ.
