LOOK IN THE MIRROR. POPULAR man must be easy and affable, and never do anything loutish or laughable, must live without friction, be plain in his diction, and like a good fellow, pay up his subscription. He must keep a glad mien between gayness and gravity, and keep well concealed all his native depravity; spend cash rich and regal, do nothing illegal, and keep his eye peeled like a bald-headed eagle. In drawing-room circles he must behave proper, and not blunder around like a lumb'ring clodhopper, be polite to the ladies— sweet Susans and Sadies—and never raise Cain, nor confu- sion, nor Hades.— 7id-Bits.
