oble things, not dream them, all day long;
And so make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand sweet song.

--KINGSLEY.

Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

--POPE.

In vain we call old notions fudge,
And bend our conscience to our dealing;
The Ten Commandments will not budge,
And stealing will continue stealing.

--LOWELL.

GREETING

_Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for

--Emerson.

others, and to make you seem vulgar and "horrid." Use your handkerchief.

THE STREET-CAR

_Immodest words admit of no defence,
For want of decency is want of sense._

--Earl of Roscommon.

1) Avoid rushing ahead of others to secure a seat in a street-car, or to
secure any other special advantage. Some one must be last; why not you?
If advancing out of turn is necessary, a little deliberation accompanied
with, "I beg your pardon," or "Excuse me, please" will most q
