A WEEK'S GLEANING
The State Over, From
Many Exchanges.
Our
Good Manners.
Never try to outshine, but to
please.
Never press a favor when it seems
Never intentionally wound the
feelings of a human being.
Never talk or laugh aloud in
places or upon street.
Never forget that vulgarity has its
origin in ignorance or selfishness.
Never urge another to do any-
thing against his desire unless yon
see danger before him.
Do not ask another to do what
you would not be to do under
similar circumstances
Never omit to perform a kind act
when it can with any
amount of exertion.
Do not make witticisms at the
expense others which you would
not wish to have made upon your-
selves.
Remember that good manners are
thoughts filled with kindness and
refinement and then translated into
behavior.
Be not ostentations in dress or
deportment; nothing can be more
vulgar. Sec that costumes fit tho
time and occasion.
Be rude to none; rudeness harms
not even tho humblest and poorest
to whom it is directed, but it in-
the exhibitors.
Never treat superiors with
or inferiors with arrogance.
Speak as kindly to a day laborer as
to one occupying a high position.
Always give precedence to elders,
visitors and superior. Offer them
the best scat at the table, the best
piece by the and the first of
everything. Go mere
form, and see that they arc comfort-
able and happy.
