Important Question of Dress.
Lord Chesterfield says: “I woult
rather have a young fellow too mucl
than too little dressed; the excess or
that side will wear off with a little
age and reflection.” To be as wel.’
dressed for all occasions as a man’t
means will permit shows self respeci
and not conceit as ignorant people
sometimes imagine. Society in
variably looks on young men with t
partial eye. but it likes to see them
well dressed.
Doing Good by the Way.
I expect to pass through this life
but once. If, therefore, there is any
kindness I can show, or any good 1
;an do to any fellow being, let me do
It now, let me not defer or neglect
It, for I shall not pass this way again.
