Rensselaer Republican, Volume 12, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 January 1880 — Don’t Do It. [ARTICLE]

Don’t Do It.

Don’t cuff a fighting man’s boy. Wellbred men are kind to children. Don’t spend all your time in reading novels. Rowing and croquet should not be neglected. Don’t let your wife split wood. She will be snre to dull the ax. Don’t sleep through the morning service. Your minister will bear watching. Don’t try to see yourself as others see you. It may destroy your faith in human wisdom. Don’t respect a man simply because he has money. Captain Kidd Was wealthy. Don’t covet an editor’s pen. Many of them are only ten by twelve, with low ceiling and no place for a bay window. Don’t imagine that you can settle the financial question. Men who-have devoted their entire time to the subject find it difficult, even, to settle with the bar-keeper. —Kokomo ( Ind .)
