Who is a Gentleman?

A gentleman is not merely person ac-
quaiuted with certain forms and etiquettes OF
life, easy and seli-possessed in society. able
to speak, and act, and move in the world
without awkwardness, and free from habits
which are vulgar and in bad taste. A geu-
tleman is something much beyond this; that
which lies at the root of all his ease, and re-
fnement and tact, aud power of pleasing is
the same spirit which lies at the root Of every
Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful desire
Of doing in every instance to others as he
would that others should do unto him. He
is constantly thinking, not indeed how he may
give p easure to others for the, mere sense Of
pleasing, but how he can show respect fol-
others-how he may avoid hurting their feel.
ings. When he is in society he scrupulously
ascertains the position and relation OF every
one with whom he is brought into contact
that be may give to each his due honor, his
proper position. He studies how he may
avoid touching in conversation upon any sub
ject which may needIessly hurt their feelings
how he may abstain from any allusior
which may call up disagreeable or offensive
association. A gentleman never alludes to
never even appears conscious of any personal
defect, bodily deiormity, inferiority of talent
of rank, of reputation, 10 the persons il
whose society he is placed. He never as
sumes any superiority to himseli-never rid
icules, never sneers, never boasts, never
makes display OF his own power. or rank
or advantages-such as Implied in rdicule
or sarcasm, or abuse-as he never indulge
in habits, or tricks, or inclinations which may
be offensive to others.

Playing with Children.

Country life's oppor tunity to cultivate
intimacy with children seems to me very
important as well as agreeable advantage
over life in the city, to be able to get out
any moment in the day when the most con.
veueut, and join gay and loving little
oop and take share In their work or play,
uuobserved by all eyes, is preferable to an
opera, | think. as a relaxation from care and
as pleasure within reach. And there is
fresh air with it, and exercise while its
timeliness makes it servicable to health. But
tho degree to which a man lives stranger
to his children, without it-neither under
standing their minds nor comprehendiny
their dispostions-can hardly be understood
by those WHO have lived only in the city,
There is no charm, for child, like the pres
ence of person who takes an interest in
his play F.; and he loves and opens his nature
to those who do so as he loves and is frank
with nothing else; To enter into the ex-
element OF his occupations and to listen to
aud reply with habtua familiarity and
earnestness to his questions and imparting. is
to link his soul with you by an every day
Strengthening of affection, like the growing
of branch upon tree. With his memo-
res of these days-al golden and treasured
the parent who is the kindly companio
out of doors is thus inceperably interviewer.
Nature ordained such to be the intercourse
between parent and child.
And while to daily life this gives charm
and hallowing influence, it plants flower of
affection that will bloom when old age needs
its fragrance of respect and tenderness

Strangenass of Death.

Angels have no death to undergo there
is no such fear OF unnatural violence be-
tween them and there final destiny. 1t is
Tor man, and. for aught that appears, it is
for man alone, to watch from the other side
of the material panorama that surrounds
him, the great and amazing realities with
which he has everlasting to dot is for
him, SO locked in an imprisonment OF clay,
and with no other loopholes OF communica-
ton between himselves. and all that sur
rouds him than the eye and the cart is
Tor him to light up in his bosom a lovely
and a realizing sense of the things that eye
has never seen, and car has never heard. 1t
is for man, and perhaps for man alone, to
travel in thought over the ruins of a mighty
desolation. and beyond the wreck Of that
present world by which he is encompassed
to c. nceive that future world on which he is
to expatiate for ever. But--a harder achieve
ment, perhaps, than any-it is for a man, in
the exercise of faith, to observe that most
appalling of all contemplations the decay
and dissolution of himself; to think of the
time when his now animated framework,
every part Of which is SO sensitive and dear
to him, shall fall to pieces when the vital
warmth by which it it SC thoroughly perva-
ded shall take its departure, and leave TO
GOODNESS and abandonment all that is Wis
ible of this moving, and acting, and think
ing creatures-when those limbs, with which
he now steps so firmly, and that countenance
