Company Manners.

There is no greater education in

A man Or woman brought up under

reality of refinement in after years.
The surliness too often allowed at

to be snappish, Injuries the manners

we come to company manners, to a
sickly sweetness put on simply for
the occasion, to q formality of speech
and an oppressiveness of attentions
to an exaggerated pOlituess that is

DIV the erection of mud walls and the

FOREIGN ToPICs.-The English
