of lsdy's lady friend. Friendship
should be encouraged, not discour-
aged.
Never say anything if you would
not have your words repeated. But,
perhaps you never did say much of
anything.
Never try to equal the smartness
of your smart interlocutor. 1t is
not his province to recognize smart
ness in another, but to astonisn
with his own.
Never tell all YOU know to a
strInger, even If he regale you
never so copiously with his affairs.
Think you he would be more care
full of your reputation than he is of
his own?
Never say, when retiring, 81 will
get up early to morrow" for doesn't
the Good Book say "all liars shall
have their part" etc.
Never jam your finger in the
door; for to swear is neither brave,
wise or polite.
Never cal man a liar; for the
eye is tender organ, and the sense
OF VISION is a precious one.
Never ask lady to play upon
tie piano unless you are polite
enough to listen to her playing.
Never add hypocrisy to boorish
ness by seeming to be pleased with
what you thought more contempt

lions to another unless he press
you. Remember the golden rule.
Never refuse the fruit when it is
first passed you, hoping that all will
show their politness by taking the
smaller, inferior apples and peaches,
leaving the best for yourself the
next round. Not only is this mean,
but you will probably overestimate
the politeness of your company.
Never look over the shoulder of
a man who is writing. Be mindful
of your health; he may forget him
self.
Never put the mucilage brush il
your inkstand. True, the tempta
ton is great; but remember that

woman.
Never say that you have heard /
before what your friend has evil
IDENTITY taken great pleasure in tell
ing you. His delight at finding
you equally well Informed with |
himself, may not be so great as you
had imagined.
Never look a gift horse in the
mouth while the donor is present.
After he is gone, it is a duty. The
proper study for the horseman is
the horse.
Never ask for second piece OF
pie, liCtIe boy, unless you are sure
of getting it. It is best not to get
people i'll the habit of refusing you.
Never make any distinction in
your horse car gallantry in favor of
youth and beauty-if you can help
It.
Never tell a secret to a woman.
If you can't keep it yourself, why
expect she will be able TO keep 1t to
lerself?
Never say dye to a barber. Let {
lim alone for starting that subject, {
,r he is not the barber we take him
or.
Never fret about to-morrow's +
Weather; if to-day's weather is 3
