POLITENESS.
This is a commodity possessing
more value at less cost, than any
tliiugyut known totho human lam
ily It pays a better profit to the a-
mount of capital invested than any
other enterpri/.o. A man has to
pay no tuition. The recipe is
simple aud short. “Whatsoever,
ye would, thut men do unto you;
do y e also unto them.”
The pmcticul part requires no
long apprenticeship, to become an
adept. Simply, iu all dealings,
conversations and transactions, on-
deuvor to make every one feel bet
ter, und try to provent any ono
from feeling worse. Men some
times thoughtlessly, use prolano
and ohseeoe language. They feel'
worse and their heurers aro difr*
gustod. No one ia benefited. There
cun be no wit, or fun, in any way
connected with such expressions,
and some oho is always wounded.
SUCCESS.
No young man who has common
sense, is industrious, economical
and possesses good habits, can fail
of success. If ho can’t get work
that suits him, be must take what
he can get.
Those wishing to place some one
in a desirable place, will always
select tho one who is at work. The
young man who will worn at any
thing, rather than be idle, will soon
be able to make his own selections
in work and price.
