Tnuc. Prof;mo swearing is aborainaablp. Vulgar language is disgusting. Loud laughing is impolite. Inquisitivcness is offensive. Tattling is mean. Telling lies is contemptiblo.' Slandering h devilish. Ignorance is disgraceful, and laziness is shameful. Avoid all of these vises, and aim at usefulness. This is the road in which to become respectable. Walk in it. ITever be ashamed cf honest labor. Pride is a curse a hateful viee. Hever aot tho hypocrite. Keep good company. Speak the truth at all times. Nev er bo diseouraged, but persevere, and mountains will become molehills.
