12. That no member of this body shall be allowed to hang his eyebrows over the face, while speaking, nor shake the same immoderately, as such practices are the truest indications of an ignorant, stubborn, self-conceited, and illiberal mind.

These are. Gentlemen, what! consider to be rules by which you should be govern- ed, as their strict adoption will best secure public conﬁdence for you. Nevertheless, there are severe] other ways by which public men lose the canﬁdence of the

regulations, laws. or practices to suit their own selﬁsh purposes. “Cutting out” situa- ti0ns for themselves, and then making ear- ly application for the same, &c. ﬁre. ﬁre. But I beg to be understood distinctly, Gen- tlemen, as not charging you with any of these vile dispositions ; but whenI look round me and ﬁnd other public bodies, though of less importance than this club,ac- tuated by such unworthy motives, I cannot forbear giving you a timely caution, well knowing the old addage, “ that it is easier to prevent diseases than to cure them.”— Enter then upon your business with the noble disinterestedness of correcting abuses and holding up all obnoxious measures of

public men to the scorn of the world, and

thereby draw down on yourselves and your posterity the blessings of mankind.” (To be continued.)

th, That if any member of this Club ll be convicted, either by his own con- v or otherwise, of having orturned her out of doors, he shall be
