Fortune.
BY THE LATE W. NJ. PRAED.

Dame Fortune is a tickle gypsy,
And always blind, and often tipsy;
Sometimes, for years and years together,
She'll bless you with the sunniest weather,
Bestowing honor, pudding, pence,
You can't imagine why or whence;
Then, in moment-Presto, Pass!-
Your joys are withered like the grass;
You find your constitution vanish,
Almost as quickly as the Spanish;
! The murrain spoils your focks and Aeeces;
The dry rot pulls your house to pieces;
Your garden raises only weeds;
Your agent steals your title-deeds;
You bankers failure stuns the city;
Your fathers will. makes Sugden witty;
Your daughter in her beauty's bloom,
Goes off to Gretna with the groom;
And you, good man, are left alone,
To battle with the gout and stone.

What Constitutes a Gentleman.

How many various ideas we have of gentle
man Every person aims to become gentle
man, and there is no one but would regard it as
an insult to be told he was not. Every one,
therefore, is gentleman in his own way. Some
think dress is the only requisite some wealth,
regardless of dress, mind or manners Wealth
is doubtless the great sine qua non of gentillty
in our day. A perfect boor is transformed into
gentleman by its magic power his power ad-
mits him at once into the most refined (?) cir
cles, and amongst the highest classes. He ap-
pears with bold assurance where genius and
true merit dare not come. But, after all, is he
the real gentleman? -.-
The poor scholar who racks his brain to earn
his bread-the artist, whose struggling genius
earns him q bare subsistance-the teacher,
whose miserable pittance but just buys bread
enough to satisfy the clamorous appetites of half
dozen children, cannot, of course, be gentle
man! They are the servants of the wealthy,
and an insurmountabe barrier keeps them away
from the real gentleman, and walls them up in
their own little circle, their proper sphere!
We don't all think so, however-thanks to
American common sense! There are some gen.
tlemen in the world that money never made,
and q few that wealth never exalted to such
dizzy height as to render them completely obli-
vious of the fact that they were yet frail human
creatures, and lived in common brotherhood
with the rest of mankind. -. .aq ss-.s-
Gentility is not wealth it is not in dress, nor
genius, nor any other attribute of man, unless
It 90 hand in hand with q cheerful disposition.
on amiable temper and philanthropic will
There are real bona .fde gentlemen in all classes
of society, and he is the greatest gentleman who
mingles with all, and remains untarnished.-
Real gentility is moral freedom lit respects no
particular person, as class beyond their mer-
it's; it does not exclude one man because he is
poor but embracing all who are worthy, it re-
CARDS them as kindred souls who should ever
dwell harmonious together. This constitutes
gentleman.- Waperly Magazine. ',f7 57s7g T.
