If a note be lost or stolen, it does not release the maker, he must pay it. An endorser of a note is exempt from liability, if not served with notice of its dis- honour within 24 hours of its non-payment. A note by a minoi- is void. Notes bear interest only when so stated. Principals are re- sponsible for their agentp. Each individual in partnership is respon- sible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. It is illegal to compound a felony. The law compels no one to do impossibilities. An agreement without a consideration is void. Signatures in lead 5encil are good in law. A receipt for money is not legally conclusive, 'he acts of one partner bind all the others. Contracts made on Sun- day cannot be enforced. A contract with a minor is void. A con- tract made with a lunatic is void. Written contracts concerning land must be under seal. On Profane Swearing. — Let every man do his best to discoun- tenance this abominable habit and shun it as an accursed sin in every possible way. No respectable person will allow himself to be guilty of it. Business men who make a practice of it will find themselves avoided by the best class of customers, for I know that some persons can suffer no mental punishment equal to that inflicted by being com- pelled to listen to profane language. Besides every man known as a I)rofane swearer, will not be credited by those whose good opinion is worth having, even when he may be speaking the truth. Act Well Your Part, Don't be Selfish.— Remember that it is by imparting happiness to others and making ourselves useful, al- ways keep doing something useful for the common good, doing it well, and acting sincerely. Endeavour to keep your heart in the attitude of cherishing good will to all, thinking and speaking evil of no one, and always with a kind word for every body. Selfishness is its own curse ; it is a starving vice. The man who does no good gets none. He is like the heath in the desert, neither yielding fruit nor seeing when good cometh, a stunted, dwarfish, miserable shrub. Let all your influence be exerted for the purpose of doing all you can for the common good and individual welfare of every one. Married Life, its Joys and Sorrows.— A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing. A wife never makes a greater mistako 10 THINGS WORTH KNOWINO. ii than when she endeavours to coerce her husband with otlier weapons than those of Jove and affection. Those weapons are a sure pull if he has any thinj? human left in hten. Forbear mutual upbraidings. In writing letters, during temporary separation, let nothing contrary to love and sincere affection be expressed ; such letters from a wife have a most powerful emotional effect, sometimes little understood by thoBe who write them. It is the mother who moulds the character and destiny of the child as to the exteriors, therefore, let calmness, peace, affection, and finnness rule her conduct towards her children. Children are great imitators, whether they have scolding or peaceful mothers, they are generally sure to learn from the examples set before them, and thus the consequent joy or sorrow is transferred to other families, therefore let mothers take heed to their conduct. It is not possible to exerc'se judgment and prudence too much before entering on the married life. Be sure that the affections on both sides are so perfectly intertwined around each other, that the two as it were, form one mind ; this requires time, and a thorough mutual knowledge on both sides. Bend your whole powers to avoid deprecatory remarks, jibing and anger in every form, and specially avoid everlastingly dish- ing up any unsuccessful past action that wjis done from a good motive and with the best intentions at the time. Let nothing foreign to the spirit of love and mutual affection intervene to cause distance between hiisband and wife ; to this end let self-denial rule over eich, and re- ciprocal unselfishness. Avoid habitual fault-finding, «colding, &c., as you would perdition itself ; many men tremble as they cross their threshold into the yiresence of scolding wives. Let husband and wife cultivate habits of sobriety, and specially avoid drunkenness in every form. What a dreadful spectacle it is to see a husband tranpformed into a demon, tottering homeward to a broken hearted wife, whose noble self-sacrificing devotion to him seems to partake more of the nature of heaven than of earth. Never part, even for a journey, without kind and endearing words, and as a kiss symbolizes union from interior affection, do not dispense with it on such occasions, re- jieating it when you return. In one word, let love rule supreme. Children and Home Conversation —Children hunger perpetu- ally for new ideas. They will learn with pleasure from the lips of j»arents what they deem drudgery to learn from books, and even if they have the misfortune to be deprived of many educational advant- ages' they will grow up intelligent if they enjoy in childhood the priv- ilege of listening to the conversation of intelligent people. Let them have many opportunities of learning in this way. Be kind to them, and don't think it beneath you to answer their little questions, for they proceed from an implante(i faculty which every true man and woman should take a great delight in gratifying. Home after Business Houks. — Happy is the man who can find that solace and that poetry at home. Warm greetings from loving hearts, fond glances from bright eyes, and welcome shouts of merry hearted children, the many thousand little arrangements for comfort and enjoyment, that silently tell of thoughtful and expectant love, ^ THINGS WORTH KXOWINO. 11 tlip«fl are the minialrations thnt rpconci'e u« to the prose of life. 1'hink of this ye wives and daiijLjhtera of businecs men ! Think of the toils and anxieties, the mortification and wear that fathers tmdeiyo to secure for you comfortable homes, and compensate them for their toils by making them happy by their own fireside. Wkll Worthy of Imitation. — A worthy (Quaker thus wrote : — " I expect to pass throujyh this world but once. If, therefore, thf-re be any kindness I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, let ine not defer nor neglect it, for I will not pass this way again." Were all to act thus how many would be made happy ? Tablk Conversation. — Instead of swallowing yonr food in sidlen silence, or brooding over your business, or severely talking about others, let the conversation at the table be genial, kind, social and cheering. Don't bring any disagreeable subject to the table in your conversation, any more than you would in your dishes. Avoid scandalizing people, and never cherish a jubilant feeling over the infirmities or mit^fortunes of others. The more good company you have at your table the better. Hence the intelligence, refinement and appropriate behaviour of a family given to hospitality. Never feel that intelligent visitors can be anything but a blessing to you and yours. Keep the House Clean ano well Ventilated. — A neat, clean, fresh aired, sweet, cheerful, well arranged house, exerts a moral in- fluence over its inmates, and makes the menibers of a family peace- able and considerate of each other's feelings. On the contrary, a filthy squalid, noxious dwelling, contributes to make its inhabitants selfish, sensual, and regardless of the feelings of others. Never sleep in a small close bedroom, either during summer or winter without free ventilation from door or windows, unless otherwise supplied with alnmdance of fresh air. It will be seen that a person's house usually corresponds with his character. Safe Business Rules. — Business men, in business hours, attend only to business matters. Social calls are best adapted to the social circle. Make your business known in few words, without loss of time. Let your dealings with a stran/er be most carefully considered, and tried friendship duly appreciated. A mean act will soon recoil, and a man of honour will be esteemed. Leave "Tricks of Trade" to those whose education was never completed. Treat all with respect, confide in few, wrong no man. Be never afraid to say No, and alwayo prompt to acknowledge and rectify a wrong. Leave nothing for to- morrow that should be done to-day. Because a friend is ])olite, do not think his time is valueless. Have a place for everything, and everything in its place. To preserve long friendship, keep a short credit, the way to get credit is to be punctual ; the way to preserve it is not to use it much. Settle often ; have short accounts. Trust no man's appearances, they are often deceptive, and assumed for the jjurpose of obtaining credit. Rogues generally dress well. The rich are generally plain men. Be well satisfied before you give a credit, that those to whom yott give it are safe men to be trusted. 12 THINGS WORTH KNOWINO. The ABC IntercMt Tablci."^ These tables are the most compact and siinple ever introdncetl. The Interei-t can be found on any sum from $1.00 to §10,000.00, and on any larger amounts by adding the necessary cipheis. THE APPLICATION. In the Interest column take the figures under the same letters as are over the Principal. The tigures in the intereut uuiumu are cunta. EXAMPLE.

Under A B D $11.12 ABO 10.01 AB 78 A 06 it << «< $21.97 The only objection, so far as we know, that can be raised against our method is that in ordinary tables the Principal w«)uld have been obtained by taking only three amounts — viz: $1,000.00, $900.00 and $70.00 ; but this, we think, is far more than counterbalanced by the time lost in tracing the amounts over a whole page. ADVANTAGES OF THE ABC SYSTEM. T. Any sum can be found within the compass of 9 lines, instead of 118 lines in *' Sansum's " and other tables. II. Each page of our tables comprises 24 days, and the whole table covers 18 pages. In other tables a page contains only 5 days and the whole table occupies 73 pages. Ours being, therefore, four times more readily referred to. • n III. In our tables the number of days, the Principal and the Inter- est are immediately under the eye at the same time. In '* Sansum's " and other tables it is necessa-.y constantly to refer to the number of days at the head of the page and follow the column to the place op- posite the Principal required. I'his means loss of time and tfu riik 9f inacmraqf. On the next page the table is set up in the usual way. A compar- ison of the two methods will, we believe, confirm our claims as to the merits of the new. Copyright. By permission of the proprietors.

A period is placed after every declarative and imperative sentence. 2. All abbrnviations are followed by a period. 3. A period is placed after numl)ers in the Roman notation. 4. A colon is placed between the chief divisions of a sentence, when they are but slightly connected, and they are themselvei di- vided by pome other mark. 5. A colon is used after a sentence which announces a distinct quo- tation. • G. A colon is placed between clauses, when the connection is so slight that any one of them might be a distinct sentence. 7. A succession of clauses depending on one principal expression, should be separated by a semicolon. 8. A semicolon is placed after an expression which introduces par- ticulars. 9. When a clause especially explains the meaning of some other ex- \ ression, it is separated from that expression by a semicolon. 10. A semicolon is used to divide a sentence into sections, when the various parts are not sufficiently independent to require a colon. 11. A conmia is placed between .the particulars mentioned in a suc- cession of words all in the same construction. 12. A comma is placed between each pair of words, when each pair is in the same construction. 13. A comma is placed before and one after every parenthetical ex- pression* THINGS WORTH KNOWING. 1C« ni- ce. se. )en ds. ce. ce, di- 10- so X- m ih 14. A comma is naed before a quotation closely connected with the preceding wordH. 15. ExpresHions repeated munt be separated by a comma. 16. A ])hrase or clause which explains, in any decree, the mean- ' inpr of any other phrase or clause is separated from it by a comma. 17. All modifying expressions unlesn closely conuected with the rest of the sentence, are separated by a comma. 18. A comma must be used in sentences which would otherwise be misunderstood. 19. A comma is placed where a word is understood, unless the con* nection is close. 20. An interrogation-point is placed after every sentence, phrase, clause, or word, which denotes a direct question. 21. An interrogation-point, enclosed in a parenthesis, is often used to ilenote doubt. 22. An exclamation point is placed after every exclamatory sen* tence, clause, phrase, or word. 23. Where special emphasis is required, several exclamation-pointd may be use«l. 21. An exclamation-point, enclosed in parenthesis, is used to de- note peculiar surprise. 25. Most iuLerjections take an exclamation point after them. 20. A sudden turn in a sentence is shown by a dnnh. 27. An omission of the middle numbers in a re ^ alar series is de- noted by a dash. 28. The omission of a word, or part of a word, is denoted by a dash. 29. A dash is usually placed before the answer to a question, when they both belong to the same line, 30. A dash is often used instead of the parenthesis marks. 31. A dash is commonly used before an expression repeated for spe- cial emphasis. 32. A dash follows the sentence which introduces a quotation, when the quotation commences a new paragraph. 33. A dash is often used to avoid too many paragraphs. 34. Every quoted passage is enclosed in quotation-marks. 35. Quotations consisting of more than one paragraph have the firsf quotation-mark at the beginning of each paragraph, but the second is used only at the end of the last paragraph. 36. When a quoted passage requires special attention, the first quo- tation-mark may be used at the commencement of each line. 37. When one quotation includes another, the latter has but half the first quotation-mark before it, and half the second mark after it. 38. The parenthesis encloses matter not actually connected with the sentence. 39. Brackets are chiefly used to inclo^corrections. 40. The hyphen is used to separate the syllables of a word. 41. The apostrophe denotes a contraction. 42. The caret is used to show the omission of letters or words. v. 66 THINOS WORTH KNOWINO. 43. The asterisk, dasf^er, and similar marks are used to refer to notes at the foot or side uf the page. MAEK8 OP ACCENT. Accent is stresis of voice laid on a certain syllable. When a word in uttered, the syllable that receives the stress is s Md to be acrenUd, These marks are used by writers tu denote the proper pronunciation of words. The Acute 4 is represented by a mark over a let*^er, or syllable, to show that it must be pronounced with the risinj^ inflection ; as, Euro- pean. The Grave (Jl) must be pronounced with a falling inflection : as, " Will you wklk, or ride ?" The Circumflex (4) represents the union of the acute and grave ac- cents in the same syllable : as, Montreal. The Macron (a) placed above a letter represents a full long vowel sound : as, home. A Breve (S) is placed over a vowel to denote its short sound ; as, St. HSlena. ihe Diseresis (a) is placed over the latter of two vowels to show that they are to be pronounced in separate syllables ; aS; cooperate. The Cedilla (c) or cerilla, placed under the letter c, shows that it has the sound of « ; it ii used chiefly in words derived from the French language ; thus, gar9'm, in which the 9 is to be pronounced like s. The Tilde (n) placed over the letter n in [Spanish words to give it the sound of wy; as, senior, minon. Other Marks. The Index {S^) invites special attention. The stars {»*») or N. B., are used for a similar purpose. The Brace f < | connects several wordi with one common term. The Paragrai^h (If) begins a new subject. The Section (§) is used to sub-divide chapters. Leaders (....) are used in indexes, leading the eye to the end of the line, for the completion of the sense. 1^1 Simple Rulen f^r Spcllini^. Words endini? in e drop that letter bafore the termination ahfe. as in move, movable ; unless ending in c« or ge, when it is retained, as in change, changeable, etc. Words of one syllable ending in a consonant, with a single vowel before it, double that consonant in derivatives ; as, ship, shipping, etc. But if ending in a consonant wit^i a double vowel before it, they do not double the consonant in derivatives ; as, troop, trooper, etc. Words of more than one syllable, ending in a consona 't preceded by a single vowel, and accented on the last syllable, double that con- THiSraS WORTH KNOWING. 6T sonant in derivatives ; commit, committed ; bat except chagrin, chag) ined. All word«i of one syllable endine in ly with a single vowel b^ore it, have doable U at the close ; as, mill, sell. All words of one syllable endir ^ in I, with a doable vowel before it, have only one I at the c ose ; a^ mail, sail. The words foretell, distill instill, and fulfill, retain the double I of their pritaitives. Derivatives of dull, skill, will and full also retain the U when the accent falls on these words ; as, dullness, skillful, ' willful, fullness. Words of more than f>ne syllable ending in I have only one I ftt the closie ; as, delightful, faithful ; unless the accent fidls on the last syl- lab^e ; as in befall, etc. Word-< ending in I, double that letter in the termination If, P^irt'Ciples en ling in i/t<7, from verbs endinsr in «, lose the final e ; ai, have, having ; make, making, etc.; but verbs ending in ee retain both ; as, see, seding. The word dye, to colour, however, must retain the e before ing. All adverbs ending in fp^ and nouns ending in tnentf retain the e final of the primitives ; as, brave, bravely ; refine, refinement ; except words ending with d^e ; as, aclcnowledflre, acknowledgement. Nouns ending in y preceded by a vowel, form their plural by add- ing « ; a^, m')ney, moneys ; but if j/ is preceded by a oonaoniknt, it is oh'inged to ies in the plural ; as, bounty, bounties. Co n tound words that end in y, change the y into i; as beauty, beautiful. I'he Use of Capitals. Every entire sentence should begin with a capital. Proper niines and adjectives derived from these, should begin with a capital. All aoDlica^ions of the Deity should hegin with a capitaL Official and honorary titles begin with a capital. Every line of poetry should beg^n with a capital. Titles of books, ana the heads of their chapters and divisions, are printed in capitals. The" prtiioun I, and the exclamation, O, are always capitals. The days of the week, and the months of the year, begin with capitals. Every quotation should begin with a capital letter. Names of religious denominations begin with capitals. In preparint? accounts, each item should begin with a capital. 12. Any word of very special importance may begin with a capital. 1. 2. S. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Hints for Letter-Writlnir. Letters should always be written in a neat and distinct chiro- graphy. The sentences should be constructed with such thoughtful care, that the meauing intended will be readUy understiod. t 1 ^. 08'' THINGS WOBTH KNOWING. Gummed envelopes are now in almost universal use ; nevertheless, a neat little seal of red wax for a gentleman, and of gold or other fancy colour for a lady, are elegant and apprupriate, and give an ap- pearance of refinement to a note. Letters of introduction or recommendation should never be sealed. In letters o' bu:diness or ceremony, do not write on both sided of the leaf. Letters of compliment should be written in the third person. A void all erasures and biots, even thuugh you should have to re- write. Never write letters of friendship on a half sheet, and always write with ink. Monograms should always be in black or white — never in colours In communicating bad news, take care not to do so abrubtly. In sending letters, don't enlar^^e much on your own misfortunes. Make your letters cheerful and never ill-tempered. All letters should be civil in tone, otherwise they injure the writer more than the receiver. No gentleinan will send an anonymous letter. Only cowards and knaves do this. Your paper may be either ruled or plain, but the latter is the more elegant. Letters in regard to one's own affairs should always contain a stamp for return postage. A still better plan is to enclose a stamped and addressed envelope. Every letter should be dated carefully and distinctly, and should always bear the address of the writer, and the name signed in full. Should the writer be a married lady, she should invariably, except in the most familiar missives, prefix '* Mrs." to her name. Persons in mourning usually write letters on mourning stationery, but this should not be used in writing letters of congratulation. Your letter-paper and envelopes should correspond in colour and quality. White should be preferred, and especially when addressing a lady. Ladies use no other. Good black ink is always to be preferred. Coloured inks are in bad taste. Take care to affix the proper stamp. Don't depend on others to do this. Never send money or other articles of value in an unregistered letter. When dropping a letter or paper into a street letter box, see that it don't stick fast. Never enclose any writing in printed matter. When it is desired to have letters returned in c««e of non-delivery, the name and address of sender should be printed in upper left-hand corner, with request to that sffeot.

General Laur Maxims* 1. Common Law is common sense which is the best guide in all ordinary cases. 2. Never sign a promissory note until after yon have received the value for it. 3. Never go to law for the sake of satisfaction ! Toull never get it if you do. 74 THINGS WORTH KNOWING. ) y 4. Imaginary wrongs are better unredressed. 5. A Lawyer's highest aim should be to keep his clients out of litigation. 6. Consult your Lawyer at the beginning of a trouble, not after you have made bad worse. 7. No man, however skilful, should attempt to draw his own will. 8. Every person having property should always have a will duly executed and deposited in a place of safety. It will not make him die one day the sooner. 9. He who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client. Promissory IVotes. A promissory note is an absolute promise in writing to pay a specified sum at a time therein stated, or on demand, to a person named or designated, or to his order, or to the bearer. A note payable to a person without adding bearer or order, is not transferable. A note payable to bearer may be transferred by delivery without endorsement, but if the party transferring endorses, he makes himself liable on the note. A note payable to order cannot be transferred without the en- dorsement of the person to whose rder it is made payable. A person wishing to endorse a note without making himself liable on it should write underneath his signature, the words " without re- course." Presentment of an ordinary note at the place where it is made payable is not necessary to hold the maker, but both presentment and notice of dishonour are necessary to hold an endorser. Presentment should be made oh the last o5 the three days of gTf^ce, or if that is a legal holidav, then on the day following. No- tice of dishonour may be posted on the day of presentment or the day following. The legal holidays in the Province of Ontario are Sundays, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Christmas Day, the Birthday of the Sovereign, and special days appointed by proclamation for public holidays. Fasting or Thanksgiving. An infant under the age of twenty -one years cannot make himself liable by making or endorsing a promissory note. A note made payable with interest bears interest at the rate spe- cified in the note from its date until payment. A note not made payable with interest bears interest from matu- rity at 6 per cent.

A tenancy from year to year can be terminated only by a six months' notice ending with the current year. A monthly tenancy can be ended by a month*s notice. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, taxes fall upon the landlord, and if the tenant is compelled to pay them he may deduct the amount from the next payment of rent. If a tenant makes an absolute covenant to repair, he would be bound to repair even if premises were burned down, and would have to pay rcut for time that i remises were untenantable by reason of the fire as well. iSuch a covenant should except " reasonable wear and tear, and accidents by tire and tempest," and there should be an express pro- vision that the rent should be charged for time that premises are un- tenantable by reason of injury from fire or tempest. Distress for rent can only be made by daylight, not sooner than the day after the rent matures, and only for the amount actually due (which the warrant t.) the bailiff should specify) together with the charges of the distress.

He is said to have been bishop of Myra, and to have died in the year 326, The yoiuig were universally taught to revere him, and the popular fiction which represents him aa the bearer of presents to children on Christmas eve is well known. He is the Santa Claus (or Klaus) of the Dutch. St. Nichola'4 is said to have supplied three destitute maidens with marriage portions by senretly leaving money at their window, and as his day occurred just before Christmas, he thus was made the purveyor of the gifts of the season to all children in Flanders and Hollaad who put out their shoe or stocking in the confidence that Santa or Klaus, Knecht Clobes, as they call him, will put in a prize for good conduct before morning. An- other legend described the saint as having brought three murdered children to life again ; and this rendered him the patron of boys, especially school' boys. Weight of Tarious Substances.

Every family should have a preparation of flaxseed oil, chalk and vinegar, about the consistency of thick paint, constantly on hand for burns and scalds. The best application in cases of burns and scalds is a mixture of one part of carbolic acid to 8 parts of olive oil. Lint or linen rags are to be saturated in^ the lotion, and npread smoothly over the burned part, which should then be covered with oiled silk or gutta-percha tissue to exclude air.

Branches of wormw<>od will serve the same purpose for black ants. The insects may be kept out of sugar barrels by drawing a wide chalk mark around the top, near th") edge. Boots.- To make leather boots waterproof, saturate them with castor oil ; to stop squeaking drive a peg into the middle of the sole. Clinkrrs. — To remove clinkers from stoves or fire-brick, put in about half a peck of oyster shells on top of a bright fire. This may need repeating. Grease Spots. — To remove grease spot^, thoroughly saturate with turpentine, place a soft blotting pat>er oeneath and another on top of the spot, and press it hard. The fat is dissolved, then absorbed by the paper, and entirely removed from the cloth. Gilt Frames. — To restore gilt frames, rub with a sponge moisten- ed in turpentine. Ink Stains. —To remove stains of ink, wash carefully with pure water, and apply oxalic acid. If the latter changes the dye to a red tinge, restore the colour with ammonia. Paint. —Chloroform will remove paint. When the colour of a fabric has been destroyed by an acid, ammonia is applied to neutral- ize the same ; after which an application of chloroform will, in almost ail cases, restore the original colour. Silverware. - To prevent articles of silverware from tarnishing, first warm them, and then paint them over with a thin solution of collodion in alcohol, using a wide, soft brush for the purpose. Starch. — To prevent starch from souring when boiled, add a little sulphatr of copper. Furniture, To Clean. — First rub with cotton waste, dipped in boiled linseed oil ; then rub clean and dry with a soft flannel cloth. Care should be taken that the oil is all removed. KoG Stains. — To remove ^rom spoons, rub with common salt. Hair — To clean hair, wash well with a mixture of soft water ; 1 pint ; sal-soda, 1 ounce ; cream tartar, i ounce. Cuts. —A drop or two of creosote on a cut will stop its bleeding. Bites and Stings of Insects. — Wash with a solution of ammonia water. Bites op Mad Dogs.— Apply caustic potash at onca to the wound and give a powerful opiate to cause sleep. -11" THINGS WORTH KNOWING, i m Burns. — Make a paste of common baking soda and water, and aj - ply it promptly to the burn. It will quickly check the pain and in- flammation. tScuEW. — To remove an obdurate screw, apply a red-hot iron to the head for a ehort time, the screw-driver being applied immediately while the screw is hot. Fkuit Stains. — To remove the stains of acid fruit from, the hands, wafth your hands in clear water, dry slitjhtly, and while yet moift, sti ike a match and hold your hands around the flame. The stains will immediately disappear. Iron K-Usr. — To remove from muslin or white goods, thoroughly saturate the spots with lemon juice and salt, and expose to the sun. Usually more than one application is required. A good way to pre- vent its appearance on clothes is when washing to always have them inclosed in a muslin bag while being boiled.

To swing the foot, or tap mor jtoni>u8ly with the feet, or to Jrum with the fingers on a table or a windoT^ are all breaches of decorum. It is extremely rude, and a most dangerous experiment, to recom- mend remetlies to a person who is under the care of «. physician. An invalid, an elderly person, or a lidy, must be given the most comfortable chair in the room, and must be allowed to select the light and temperature. It is a breach of good manners, and a vijlation of common sense, to laugh at your own wit. ^ Gentlemen and ladies will never be guilty of personalities in con- versation. No gentleman will assume to dictate to a lady, as to the gentlemen who are permitted to attend her. Gentlemen and ladies of true culture will be careful of their deport- ment in all places, and at all times. Their urbanity will appear at home, as uniformly as among f uron- &®rs. Quiet, unassuming behaviour, is indicative of cultivation. A loud, boisterous manner belongs to the rustic boor. There is no surer sign of ill-breeding than rudeness towards depen- dents. It is not an essential principle of democracy to be rude and dirty. 108 THINGS WORTH KNOWING. Ml In this country, the means of education and culture are open to all. Hence, Canadians should be exceptionally intelligent and polite. The aristocracy of older countries have no monopoly of culture. Well-bred pe "gons avoid being conspicuous, either in dress or be- haviour. The use of slang words and phrases should never be indulged, either in public or private. Fussy people are social nuisances. The essence of true politeness consists in the habitual observance of the golden rule. Do to others, as you would have them do to you. Seek to make others comfortable and happy, and you will rarely be deemed impolite. Dige§tlon of Food.

In complying, it is customary to couple with the same a sentiment, signing the name beneath. If the matter written is original, be it long or short, it is usually more highly valued. If a brief selection be made, some of the following quotations may be appropriate : If others be as fair, What are their charms to me ? I neither know nor care, Eor thou art all to me. Purchase not friends by gifts, when thou ceasest to give, such will cease to love. Old time will end our story, But no time, if we end well, will end our glory.

Who does the best his circumstance allows, Does well, acts nobly ; angels could do no more. He who sedulously attends, pointedly asks, calmly speaks, coolly answers and ceases when he has no more to say, is in the possession of some of the best requisites of a man. ^ Peruse these simple rhymes.
