No man is a gentleman, who with.

ciyilty the humblest ofhis Species,
1t is vulgarity for which no accom-
plishment ofdress can atone. Show
me the man who desires to make ev-
cry one happy around him, and
whose greatest solicitude is never to
give just cause Of offence to any one,
and. will show you a gentleman by
nature and by practice, though he
may never have worn a suit ofbroad-
cloath, nor even heard of a lexicon,
| am proud to say, for the honor OF
our species, there are men, in every
throb ofwhose hearts, there is a So
licitude for the welfare Of mankind,
and whose every breath is pert'umed
with kindness.

Swiftly glide our years-they fol.
low each other ike waves of the
ocean. Memory calls up the per-
sons we once kn6w-thc scenes in
which we once were actors, they ap.
pear before the mind like phantoms
of a night vision Behold the boy
rejoicing in the glory of his youth
the wheels of TIME cannot roll toe
rapidly for him-the light of hope
dances in his eye-the smile of ex.
pectation plays upon his lips-he
looks forward forlong years of Joy
to come, his spirifburns within him
when he hears cf great men and
mighty ,deeds-be wants to be a
man; he longs tosmount the hill Of
ambition, to tread the path of honor
to hear the shouts of applause
Look at him again, be is now in the
meridian of life, aare has stamped
the wrinkles on his brow, disappoint-
ment has dimmed the lustre of his
eye, sorrow throws its gloom upon
his countenance, he looks back upon
the waking dreanlof youth, and sighs
for its futility. Each reyolvingyear
seems to diminisHhis happiness, and
he discovers that Ihe dream of youth
when the pulse oEanticipation beats
high is the season of enjoyment:
I~>Who is he Of tie aged locks2 His
form is bent and tottery-zhis foot
steps move rapidly towards the tomb
he looks, back tpon the p ast-his

Mat they were stil-thc lnagnifi
cence of the great is to him vanity
the hilarity Of yohth, folly; he con-
siders how%soon tae gloom of death
must shadow the bne and disappoint

him. still, howey9, he would linger
in it, and still he9vould leugthen out
