GOOD MANNERS
Refined and .graceful manners are worthy 'of the most careful cultivation. A true gentleman is gentle and true at all times. That refinement which behaves according to rule with unscrupulous - exactness at courtly entertainments, but suffers its possessor to- act rudely- toward the. most obscure neighbor or servant, is an artificial grace which can be put on for the occasion and laid aside at convenience. Gentility which' is genuine is inseparable from the personality. It has its seat in the character. It beautifies the entire hieing and shines with undimmed lustre under all circumstances.
