Text Appearing Before Image:
A. TO CULTIVATE INTELLECTUAL IMITATION:— Do as others do in
speech-making and editing newspapers; paint, draw, transcribe, calculate,
teach, lecture, copy mechanical designs, make duplicates of machines;
but during your spare hours engage in an entirely mental occupation.
Emulate the excellences of the intellectual and good.

AFFABLENESS. 179

B. TO RESTRAIN INTELLECTUAL IMITATION:—Let originality and
suggestion lead you to cultivate tlie inventive faculty; imitate nobody;
and, should you engage in a purely mental occupation, or in one in which
mind performs the chief part, be yourself and think for yourself. Gold-
smith gave the following line, which you should bear in mind:—"The
great mind will be bravely eccentric and scorn the beaten road, from
universal benevolence."

AFFABLENESS.
COMPLACENCY OF DISPOSITION WITH THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCES,
INVITING MANNERS WITH EASE AND ELEGANCE IN CONVERSATION.

A long thin neck, in mankind, will ever testify as indicative of AFFABILITY;
while a short necked person will care little for grace or affability of
manners.
Text Appearing After Image:
Affableness small.
Rulof, hung at Binghamton for
murder, in 1871.

Affableness large.
Mrs Josephine A. Prosch, a talented elocutionist
of New York City

1. Naturally rude and uncivil, you have no attractiveness in your
nature, being as boorish in your manners as you are repulsive in your
aspect.
2. Innately untoward, you fail to ingratiate yourself with those who
possess the finer feelings of humanity, being destitute of all that renders
intercourse easy and inviting.

180 AFFABLENESS.

3. Being sadly perfunctory in affability of manner, you have no win-
some ways about you. and you are unjustly underrated on these accounts
by many who do not understand you.
4. Having no innate desire to please, you evince no desire to do so,
especially to strangers; still, among your intimates, you may be easy of
access and sufficiently attractive.
5. With culture your manners and deportment would become graceful
and charming.
6. Being happily balanced in your feeling and exercise of affability,
you are freed from ridicule in regard to your use or abuse of this attrac-
tive characteristic.
