and last though not least you will early lose your ' teeth and thus your public speaking will be irretrievably injured these may seem small affairs now but the habit of neglect will assuredly bring bitter repen tance when it is too late to remedy the neglect do not affect singularity in any of your habits we never feel at home with a man of odd habits ; and any such will assuredly increase upon him he makes a heavy draft upon the kindness of man kind who is every day demanding that they bear with his eccentricities you may now recollect a most excellent man who is often seen in company with his feet poised upon the top of a chair and nearly as high as his head and not un ! frequently upon a table the habit was ! acquired when a student ; and though a ; whole company has often ached over the ! habit yet it remains unaltered y'ou may ; be boorish in manners and be like john son in that respect ; but he had talents and industry which could make him distin j guished in spite of his ill manners be particularly attentive to your be 1 haviour at table ; for from his situation the student is peculiarly tempted to err there there is an abruptness and blunt ness in the manners of some professional men — a complete treading under foot of all politeness it may be attributed to the fact lhat ihey probably associated but little with refined society while students ; and when they came out into the world not knowing how to behave they put on the blunt hair-cloth mode as if conscious of abilities which would suffer them to de spise form and politeness but a man is never more mistaken than when he sup poses that any strength of mind or attain ments will render his company agreeable . while his manners are rude if you are i accustomed to society behave as you know how ; if not accustomed to it be have modestly and you will behave well so lhat in all your intercourse with your fellow-students always maintain the ap pearance and character of a gentleman ; never that of a buffoon or a sloven and as your character now is in these re spects so it is to be through life i have known students whose wash-stand and establishment showed that they were slo vens ; and ihey were never known to-im prove in these respects keep your room and person at all times just as you would j have it if you expected your mother or j sister to make you a visit neatness is j the word by which to designate all that j is meant in regard to your personal ap j pearance cleanliness is the first mark of polite ness it is agreeable to others and is a very pleasant sensation to ourselves the humor of swift was not misapplied when he describes himself as recovering from sickness by changing his linen a clean neat appearance is always a good letter of introduction may i request my rea ders to gather lhe application and moral ofthe following beautiful story a de vise of great sanctity one morning had the misfortune as he took up a crystal cup which was consecrated to the pro phet to let it full upon the ground and dash it to pieces his son coming in some time after he stretched out his hand to bless him as his manner was every mor ning : but the youlh going out scumbled over lhe threshold and broke his arm as the old man wondered at these events a caravan passed by in its way to mecca : the dervise approached it to beg a bless ing ; % but as he stroked one of the holy camels he received a kick from the beast which sorely bruised him ! his sorrow and amazement increased upon him un til he recollected lhat ihrough hurry and inadvertency he had that morning come abroad without washing his hands 9 acejuire the habit of doing every thing well it is well known that johnson used to write and send copy to the press without even looking it over by way of revising this was the effect of habit he began by composing slowly but with great ac curacy we are naturally impatient of restraint and have so little patience at our command that it is a rare thing to find a young man doing any thing as well as he can he wishes to do it quickly and in the conversation of students you seldom hear one tell how well he did this or that but how quickly this is a perni cious habit any thing that is worth do ing at all is worth doing well ; and a mind well disciplined in other respects is defective if it have not this habit a young man who unexpectedly lost the af fections of a young lady of whom he was sufficiently fond informed his friend with a good degree of shrewdness that he doubted not lhat he lost the prize from a very small circumstance she handed him a letter which she had been writing to a friend and asked him to direct it — he did so but in a manner so hurried and slovenly for it was his great ambi tion to be quick in doing any ihing that she blushed when she received it from that utile circumstance her affections seemed to cool until they were dead to him his friend comforted him by say ing that " she was more than half right this incident is mentioned not on ac count of its dignity but to illustrate the point in hand every thing should be done well and practice will soon enable you to do it quickly how many are mis erable readers and miserable writers as to manner and matter because they do not possess this habit ! euripides used to compose but three lines while a contem porary poet composed three hundred ; but one wrote for immortality and the j other for the day your reading had bet 1 ter be but little your conversations but few your compositions short and well done the man who is in a " great hur rv is commonly the one w ho hurries over ;

but men f the world say titat if he would be honest they would have a better opinion of his religion we see another debtor he has no objec tion to buying anything that he can get upon trust : he will even subscribe for a religious newspaper or a new edition of tlie bible and makes load professions f his willingness to aid this object an 1 that but when called on to pay his subscription be is unfortunately just then out of m mey he will certainly pay it in a few days ; but he is no m re ready a m rath af terwards than he was before and he never in i tends to pay he pretends nevertheless to be a pious man but he deceives very i w just now we see another man of this always : owing and never.paying class some time ago ! he conhaeted a heavy debt and he lias never j yet seen the time when he could pay the whole i of it at once ;

not seem to trouble him at all alth nigh be lives on that which does not belong to him men may sophisticate as they please thev can never make it right and all the bankrupt laws in the universe can never make it right for them to neglect to pay their debts th<*re is sin in this neglect as clear and as deserving church discipline as in mealing or false swear ing he who violates his promise to pay or withholds the payment of a debt when il is wiih in his power to meet his engagement ought t be made to feel that in the si^ht of god mid . of ail honest men he is a swindler religi.ni may be a very comfortable cloak under which to hide ;

and last though not least you will early lose your ' teeth and thus your public speaking will be irretrievably injured these may seem small affairs now but the habit of neglect will assuredly bring bitter repen tance when it is too late to remedy the neglect do not affect singularity in any of your habits we never feel at home with a man of odd habits ; and any such will assuredly increase upon him he makes a heavy draft upon the kindness of man kind who is every day demanding that they bear with his eccentricities you may now recollect a most excellent man who is often seen in company with his feet poised upon the top of a chair and nearly as high as his head and not un ! frequently upon a table the habit was ! acquired when a student ; and though a ; whole company has often ached over the ! habit yet it remains unaltered y'ou may ; be boorish in manners and be like john son in that respect ; but he had talents and industry which could make him distin j guished in spite of his ill manners be particularly attentive to your be 1 haviour at table ; for from his situation the student is peculiarly tempted to err there there is an abruptness and blunt ness in the manners of some professional men — a complete treading under foot of all politeness it may be attributed to the fact lhat ihey probably associated but little with refined society while students ; and when they came out into the world not knowing how to behave they put on the blunt hair-cloth mode as if conscious of abilities which would suffer them to de spise form and politeness but a man is never more mistaken than when he sup poses that any strength of mind or attain ments will render his company agreeable . while his manners are rude if you are i accustomed to society behave as you know how ; if not accustomed to it be have modestly and you will behave well so lhat in all your intercourse with your fellow-students always maintain the ap pearance and character of a gentleman ; never that of a buffoon or a sloven and as your character now is in these re spects so it is to be through life i have known students whose wash-stand and establishment showed that they were slo vens ; and ihey were never known to-im prove in these respects keep your room and person at all times just as you would j have it if you expected your mother or j sister to make you a visit neatness is j the word by which to designate all that j is meant in regard to your personal ap j pearance cleanliness is the first mark of polite ness it is agreeable to others and is a very pleasant sensation to ourselves the humor of swift was not misapplied when he describes himself as recovering from sickness by changing his linen a clean neat appearance is always a good letter of introduction may i request my rea ders to gather lhe application and moral ofthe following beautiful story a de vise of great sanctity one morning had the misfortune as he took up a crystal cup which was consecrated to the pro phet to let it full upon the ground and dash it to pieces his son coming in some time after he stretched out his hand to bless him as his manner was every mor ning : but the youlh going out scumbled over lhe threshold and broke his arm as the old man wondered at these events a caravan passed by in its way to mecca : the dervise approached it to beg a bless ing ; % but as he stroked one of the holy camels he received a kick from the beast which sorely bruised him ! his sorrow and amazement increased upon him un til he recollected lhat ihrough hurry and inadvertency he had that morning come abroad without washing his hands 9 acejuire the habit of doing every thing well it is well known that johnson used to write and send copy to the press without even looking it over by way of revising this was the effect of habit he began by composing slowly but with great ac curacy we are naturally impatient of restraint and have so little patience at our command that it is a rare thing to find a young man doing any thing as well as he can he wishes to do it quickly and in the conversation of students you seldom hear one tell how well he did this or that but how quickly this is a perni cious habit any thing that is worth do ing at all is worth doing well ; and a mind well disciplined in other respects is defective if it have not this habit a young man who unexpectedly lost the af fections of a young lady of whom he was sufficiently fond informed his friend with a good degree of shrewdness that he doubted not lhat he lost the prize from a very small circumstance she handed him a letter which she had been writing to a friend and asked him to direct it — he did so but in a manner so hurried and slovenly for it was his great ambi tion to be quick in doing any ihing that she blushed when she received it from that utile circumstance her affections seemed to cool until they were dead to him his friend comforted him by say ing that " she was more than half right this incident is mentioned not on ac count of its dignity but to illustrate the point in hand every thing should be done well and practice will soon enable you to do it quickly how many are mis erable readers and miserable writers as to manner and matter because they do not possess this habit ! euripides used to compose but three lines while a contem porary poet composed three hundred ; but one wrote for immortality and the j other for the day your reading had bet 1 ter be but little your conversations but few your compositions short and well done the man who is in a " great hur rv is commonly the one w ho hurries over ; the small stages of the journey without making the great business of life to con '■■sist in accomplishing as much as possible the great secret of buonaparte's skill as ; a warrior consisted in this ; that he did his business thoroughly : if he met an ar my in two or three divisions he did not divide his army in the same proportion no : he brought all his strength to bear \ upon one point until that was annihila j ted so with mcdonough during our j last war he directed all his force every j gun against_the " big ship of the enemy ; so matter how pressing or annoying oth ers might be ; every ball was to be sent towards the u big ship till her guns j j were silen this is a irood principle to j carry out in resrnrd to every thing '• how is it that you do so much ?" said one in astonishment at the efforts and suc cess of a great man ** why i do but one thing at a time and try to finish it once ! for all i would therefore have you keep ihis in mind : — do not send a letter home blotted or hurried and ask them to excuse it because you are in a hurry — you have no riirht to be in such a hurry it is doinz injustice to yourself do not make a memorandum so carelessly that in five years you can make nothing of ir do not hurry any thing so that you know not what you do or do not knowcertainly about it and have to trus to vasrue im pressions what we call a superficial character is form°d in this way ;

but men f the world say titat if he would be honest they would have a better opinion of his religion we see another debtor he has no objec tion to buying anything that he can get upon trust : he will even subscribe for a religious newspaper or a new edition of tlie bible and makes load professions f his willingness to aid this object an 1 that but when called on to pay his subscription be is unfortunately just then out of m mey he will certainly pay it in a few days ; but he is no m re ready a m rath af terwards than he was before and he never in i tends to pay he pretends nevertheless to be a pious man but he deceives very i w just now we see another man of this always : owing and never.paying class some time ago ! he conhaeted a heavy debt and he lias never j yet seen the time when he could pay the whole i of it at once ; and therefore he has paid none 1 of it his income has been such that he might ! with a little economy and denial have pai i a part of tlie debt every year and by this time have extinguished it ; but his conscience does ; not seem to trouble him at all alth nigh be lives on that which does not belong to him men may sophisticate as they please thev can never make it right and all the bankrupt laws in the universe can never make it right for them to neglect to pay their debts th<*re is sin in this neglect as clear and as deserving church discipline as in mealing or false swear ing he who violates his promise to pay or withholds the payment of a debt when il is wiih in his power to meet his engagement ought t be made to feel that in the si^ht of god mid . of ail honest men he is a swindler religi.ni may be a very comfortable cloak under which to hide ;
