THE NAUGHTY MAN.

1t is related ofa Spanished grandee.
that upon one occasion he condesended
TO leave his carriage to walk for short
distance, when he stumbled against
something in his way, and fell. He gath.
cred himself up from the ground, and
drawing himself up, exclaimed, with
great dignity, "this comes Of walking up.
on the earth" Ifthe Hidalgo had car.
ried his head less high. and looked down
little, in all probability he would have
seen the impediment in his way, and so
saved his fall. But how many men there
are in every community, whose naughty
and proud bearing subjects them TO
tumbles of this kind. We frequently
hear it said ofsuch and such an individ-
uaI, that he is very digniied, and we have
one in our eye this moment; but in ana.
Lying this quality we have most fre.
found that this called dignity was based
upon the most intense pride. The digni.
fed man never perpetrates a joke-never
condesendsto laugh. lest he should com.
promise himself. He bears himself to.
wards his fellow men, as though it were
an unutterable condescension 10 honor
them with a notice.
A man who has a tolerable personal
appearance. and so conducts himself, of.
ten gets the reputation Of being learned
man and profound scholar, and in this.
his dignity stands his friend; for not al.
lowing himself to be familiar with his
fellow, he does not commit himself, and
like great many very solemn jackasses
we know Of gets the name ot being pro.
found, because he could hurl three or
four encyclopedias Of knowledge at
your head, did he think it worth his
while 10 do it, when in truth he is one Of
the shalIowest fellows in the world, and
only profound in ignorance. The man
whose claims to learning or TO the re.
spects of his compeers, needs no starched
assumption to maintain his position. tits
only the hanghty, digni6ed man, who is
afraid of the approach OF familiarity and
genislty, and who inscribes on his brow
"noli me tangere." We never meet one
of these dignifed men in the street with
solemn mug. head erect, and body as
stiff as lhongh, like Lord Duberly's an
cestors. he had swallowed a walking stick
without thinking of the observation of a
very tall Irish recruit, who was being
drilled by very diminutive sergeant
"Heads up" "And am J." said the in.
cipient soldier, "always to hold my head
up after this wayl" "Of course" Then
good bye. sergeant. for never shall see
you any more. ."-[ N. 0. Delta.
