The Twelve Good RnIea.

In his poem entitled "The Deserted
Village" Goldsmith describes the old
inn on whose parlor-walls there hung,
besides other things, "the twelve
good rules" 1t seems that these
rules were drawn up by King Charles
l., and as they are never displayed
nowadays it may be interesting to
state what they were. Here is the
list: /. Urge drink no health. 2.
Profane no divine ordinances. 8.
Touch no state matters. 4. Reveal
no secrets. s. Pick no quarrels. 6.
Make no comparisons. I. Maintain
no i'll opinions. 5. Keep no tad COM
pany. o. Encourage no vice. 10.
Make no long meals. II. Repeat no
grievance. IL. Lay no wagers.
