Manner is only to he deBncd by a ' ecrice of negations. The well-bred ' person has no manner. The well-hred person is distinguished from the iB- , bred iktsoo, not tjy what he does, but 1 ! by what he leaves undone. The well- ° • bred person Just differs from the illf bred person in that he knows what lie 1 ' ought not to do. The very best breed- " tag consist* chiefly to the utmost un- . obtruiivcDcss. To bo weD-htBd and " well-mannered, • in short, is to keep e down tlie ego upon every occasion ; to • keep down every expression of strong 1 feeling ; to be of noiseless bearing and j1 gentle speech ; to abstain from aU that ' may hurt the feelings or prejudices of 0 others ; to make small sacrifices without seeming to make them ; in a word, a to remember that in society one lives foG others and not for oneself. r But politeness is not like a robe of 1 state, to be worn only on occasions of '■ : ceremony. In no place do the laws of " ; etiquette bear more gratifying results ' , tb*n in tlie homo circle, wliero, stripped of tfibir mere formality, tempered with * : love,' and fostered by all Madly im- >' pulses, they improve the character and ; . bear their choicest frulta. A true gen- 1 | tlewoman will show as much courtesy, | and observe all the little duties of po- ■ 1 lileness as unfailingly, towards her " ! narcnts, husband and family as to- ' , wards the greatest strangers. A true gentlemen will never forget that if he f i is bound to exercise courtesy and kiud- | he is doubly hon-.d to do so in his in- t i tercourae with u.oso who depend upon , I him for advice, protection and example. ( ax tomes keep a »e« «et t ' » j judgment as follows : Men say women I - I ram- women can, men cant't.. \Yo1 | men carry with them to tlieir graves 1 r 1 secrets Hiat would kill any man. Wo- | , 1 man never tells ; man always docs 1 ■ ; Women snlTers and dies ; man blabs 1 ' ; and lives. Man cannot keep a secret ; ' 1 ! woman cannot make it known. What ■ 1 ! is sport to the man is death to the 1 l < woman. Adam was a sneak. Eve 1 - 1 would hare kept the apple a secret. Be . 1 ye faithful. Who ever heard a woman 1 » ' talk abont her love fiascos ? Every- - t -body has heard a man gossip. Man J | delights in telling of Ills illicit, eon- I - ' quests ; woman would cOt her tongue 1 a ( out firs!. Men' are odaree in their club 1 1 imrlor conversation. Whoever hoard 1- j of a woman telling of lier lovers? Who • lias not listened to the dissipation of 1 I 'men? Men boost; women don't. ; Women never tell tales out of scbokl ; 1, j men are always babbling. So down . - I Willi another old adage. Women con " | keep a secret.
