| Personal appearance, though of less con
sequence than other accomplishments, is
not te be wholly disregarded. You always
feel more regard for stranger well clad
and neat in his apparel, than for one whose
appearance is disgusting. A dog will not
snap at him half so readily. While you
should guard against being man Of fashion
all men will coudemn you for being sloven.
Cleanliness and neatness is becoming in all,
but more especially in the young. Always
appear the gentleman in dress and in dignity
OF department. Show that you live well at
home, nor disgrace your motherand sisters.
BY such course, all men will be compelled
to respect you whatever is your situation in
life. Respect from others, is not to be
lightly esteemed. Desire for this is sure
index OF future character and standing. -
Politeness should never be dispensed with,
even among every day companions, as the
indulgence Of improper habits soon makes
them permanent.


This, however, will not cause you to
struggle for another and higher rank Nor
will it induce you to seek release from la
bor. No man is or ought to be more re-
spected than the one who daily tolls for his
bread. The social scale in this day may
be somewhat out of order, but it will come
right hereafter. The Industrious classes
are the only ones who can set it right
Gentlemen, SO called, can never. A man
may be true nobleman any wherein any
office or employment. If laboring men are
not respected, it is because they do not re-
spect themselves It is the large soul that
forms the great man, in whatever station
found. Aman by accident may attain an
elevation, but if it be unnatural to him, he
must ofnecessty come down. But he who
by respecting himself and the exertion Of
his energies-by exercise of his higher
powers becomes elevated, there he remains
as in natural element. No change of
business, of outward fortune or political
promotion can do this for hint is his
own work, aided by the blessing Of God.
Self-respect will teach you not to stoop, or
veer from. a right course to court the ap-
plause of the vulgar. Your course should
be one and unchangeble. If the good and
virtuous respect you, regard not the Glamour
of the foolish.
