We have another kind who only take vi

DO all kinds Of ssdeyiiment'' commit
breaches Of the psaca--violate the orass
nanees Of shs city, 30, &c.-shsy have

they are Lee alone. II
We hare another kind Of Eowdics, who
regularly atsend church Oh Sundays-whoH
never go4 drunk or 80 On spreo-sattoiI
gallant young ladies to Church, Theatres,
Concerto and School Exhibitions
20 veil dressed and pretend 10 be gensle-
men; bat lack one very necessary qualii-
cation to make them sleh. We alludb 20
those persons Of thai class, whp atsenasd
Mr.. wrIghs's School RxhibitiOa on Friaay
and Saturday evenings Of last week. We
sag yoang men and young women we
viii not call them gentlemen and ladies,
there, wac daring the readings and ether
exercises INDUCED h load talking, laugh
| ing and other characteristics Of bad breed
ing and ill-bshavior. Some Of these per-
sons bad been school teachers, and otaers
aspired 10 be such.
| II We were school director, nc such per-
son should ever be employed to teach a
school by our vote Men or women, who
wiifully, ignorantly, or unthoushtfullg dis
tarb a's public meeting, are not the Kind
of persons to be employed to ''teach the
young idea how TO shoos''-they are the
worst kind Of rowdies, because they cover
their roEdyism under the prstesass Of gen
tiiity-they move In singh Circles and
give toae to public sentinent-they are
looked up 70 by tue young they are pat
roniaesi By the old and wealthy and hence
their example is the more pernicioas and
their rowdyism more debasing.
No youth eoutenplates following the
example of the drunken rowdy-it j. the
| genteel rowdy that be takes for his guide
and Il is him Who first s'bends the tEig''
TO rowdyism--vho puts the youth into the
| path that loads to drunken rowdyissl and
eliminates in the commission Of crime or
crimes, which can only be atoned for BY .
term Of service in the PenitentiAry.
| We lag this down as standard rule by
which we judge all men and women. II
we meet them at any public gathering,
whether at Church, Ball, Theatre, Politi-
cal Speaking, or Wsdding-if they show
a disposition to disturb those assembled
there, or if they do disturb them BIZ loud
talking, laughter and other uisbekayior,
whether intentional or not, tAey are not
gentlemen. and lAdies--thcy are rowdies,
and are more deserving of nights lodg-
ing in the Cottonwood" than the poor
drunken rowdys who, perhaps, has been
made SO, by the pernicious example, Of
just such professed gentlemen and ladies.
\ If we had the eontrol-if we were ap-
pointed 70 dispense justice to rpwdies, and
, to panish rowdyism, we would commences
With the genteel rowdy (Sl would m axe Al
example of those moving in ''high eircles''
and show lenity to those who have been
made rowdies by their pernioiOus exam
pie.
