SHORT— BUT POINTED

The celebrated It. Burton says: — "Live not beyond they means. Give cheerfully. Pay thy due willingly. Be not a slave to thy "money ; omit not occasion, embrace opportunity, lose no time. Bo humble to thy superiors, respectful to thine equals, affable to all, but not familiar. Platter no man. Lie not, dissemble not. Keej> thy word and promise. Be constant in a good resolution. Speak truth. Be not opiniative, maintain no factions. Lay no wagers, make no comparisons. Find no faults, meddle not with other men's matters. Fear not that which cannot be avoided. Undervalue not thyself. Accuse no man, commend no man rashly. Go not to law without great cause. Strive not with a greater man." He could have added, "Keep up appearances. Dress well. See that, yoiir hoofs are well polished: Use Tanrol. Superior to all. The last word in polishes. Sixpence per tin at all stores."
