A man never has good luck vino has bad

A GENTLEMAN.

Mr. Justice Talfourd, in a recent trial,
thus defned the character of q gentleman. -
The evidence proved that the defendant, while
in the theatre, had said to the plaintiff, do
not speak to mel am q gentleman. and you
are tradesman 2 and in summing up the
learned Justice said: "tGentleman' is term
which does not apply to any station, but to
the mind and the feelings in every station =
The man Of rank who deports himself with
dignity and candor, the tradesman who dis
charges the duties Of life with honor and in
tegrty. are alike entitled to it; nay, the hum
blest artisan, who ful6ls the obligations cast
upon him with virtue and with honor. is more
entitled to the name Of a gentleman than the
man who can indulge in offensive aud ribald
remarks, however high bis station.

after her decease. several letters to her from

considerable change. From one of these in

A CITY ASLEEP.

The New York Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing pretty thing in reference to Green
wood Cemetary h. t
A day or two ago we visited city, pop
ulous city, whose houses will outlast New
York, for they shall endure till doomsday'
Strange to say it is not noted on the best
maps; stranger to say, though its population
is daily increasing no colony ever issues from
its borders.
The golden chime of Paci6c's waves has
never charmed a single ear there the shout
OF tie Pioneeer in the further West, has never
l'ired them hence, to seek new homes, In
deed the city we speak of, stands alone, like
rock-bound isle in the midst of a turbulent
ocean,the busy world whirls and roars around,
but there it remains unmoved.
We visited it in broad day butthe streets
were empty; not a familiar face or voice to
greet us not light footstep to make music
to the ear. 1t was indeed strange, very
strange; there shone the sun with the mild
and beautiful radiance of autumns, and yet
no sound of living thing. Marble mansions
were on every hand but none of the solemn
tenantry, for it was a solemn city, came forth
to meet and welcome us. Names were en-
graved on every portal but they that owned
them-where were they? 1t was city Of
names and not of things; of words and not
of works.
AT length there came train---there was
an arrival. On it came noiselessly, slowly.
Was it all dream? by mansion after man
sion it passed, and stopped. A tenant for
another dwelling; home for another wan
derer.
So it seemed to us as We stood there, and
50 the shadows thickening over the thought,
we hurried away from Greenwood, and we're
once more mingled with the tide of the liv-
ing.

CONCLUDED.
The reader parted with us last in search
of an appetite; and entire nous, there are
more persons in this bright little world of ours
who are seeking that same desideratum than
many suppose. We concluded that the mar
ket would be about as inviting scene as we
could present to our palates, and proceeded
there but we found everything in the same
style as in other places, and after brief sur
vey of the scene, we made our exit from the
motley throng, and enjoyed lengthy prom
enade along the beach, returning to Ellis to
breakfast about s o'clock.
After causing to disappear sundry rolls, a
moderate allowance of fowl substantas, and
some delicious chocolate, Ellis proposed a
trip to Conception, the former capital of Chilli.
Taking horses, we rode slowly along the cir
cuitous road leading to the city, and | was
charmed with the luxuriant vegetation that
surrounded us. 1t is well known that green
is always more grateful and less hurtful to
the eye than any other color and when it is
remembered that sour windows of the SOUP
had been accustomed to the sight of sea and
sky alone for twenty days, besides, having
sailed last from country where it is death
to pull up a blade of grass, for the simple
reason that none grows therein, it can easily
be imagined how the scene delighted us.
The sight of the city is low, and dis tant
view of it would convey the idea that it is
but village; a nearer approach, however,
discovers to you city of some eight or nine
thousand inhabitants, and though possessing
all the peculiarities of Spanish American cities,
it bears the appearance of what it really is,
wreck of it's former self. The opening of
the year 1885, found Conception prosperous
city of about twenty thousand inhabitants,
who honestly prided themselves on the
many magnificent edifces which this beauti-
full city contained but ere that year was
past, the sun of it's glory was set. An earth
quake destroyed nearly the whole city, and
numbers Of the inhabitants, and since that
time it has continued to decline /; though the
extensive coal mines near the city are a daily
increasing source of revenue.
From the specimens of the fair ser whom
we saw on the paseo, they are only exceled
by the Limanians in grace and beauty how
ever, 'twould be unfair to judge of the many
by the few. Making hasty tour thro' the
city, we rode out towards the river Biobio,
and surely no country can boast of richer or
more varied scenery than this portion Of
Chill; it's landscapes of alternate valley and
hill, all teenling with every variety of YER
dant wild growths; it's lofty snow-capped
Andes, and it's numerous volcanoes, render
it a fit study for the artist or poet.
Having sufficiently amused ourselves in
and around Conception, we returned to Tai
cahnana, from whence my companion and l
went on board ship, where we found active
preparations going on for grand ball 10 be

"NAkED TRUTH"

The late eccentric John Holmes used fire.
quently, in bis addresses to different juries,
to explain the meaning of the phrase Naked
Truth. by relating the following fable:
Truth and Falsehood travelling one warm
day met at river, and both went in to battle
at the same place. Falsehood coming first
out of the water took his companion clothes
and left his own vile raiment, and then went
on his way. Truth coming out Of the water
sought in vain for bis own ptoper dress dis
dainiug to wear the garb of Falsehood =

thief, but not being SO swift Of foot, has new.

All, this beautiful world. Indeed, know
