CHARACTER OF TIE GENTLEMAN-I have
stated already that the forbearing use Of
power is sure attribute of the gentleman :;
indeed, as we may say that power-physi-
cal, moral, purely social or political-is one
Of the touchstones of genuine gentleman
ship. The power which the husband has
over his wife, in which we must incl.de
h impunity with which he may be unkind
to her; the father over his children the
old over the young; and the young over
the aged; the strong over the weak; the
officer over his men; the master of a ves-
sci over his hands the magistrate over the
citizens; the employer over the employed !;
the rich over the poor; the educated over
the unlettercd; the experienced over the
confidins; the keeper of secret over him
whom it touches =; the gifted over the ordi-
nary man even the clever over the silly.
the forbearing and offensive use of all this
power or authority, or total abstinence
from it where the case admits it, will show
the gentleman in plain light
Every traveller knows at once whether a
gentlemanly or a rude officer is searching
his trunk. But the use Of power does not
only form touchstone; even the manner
in which an individual enjoys certain ad-
vantages over the others, is a test. No
geRtltTan can boast of delights of superi
or health in the presence of languid pa
tient, or speak Of great good luck when
hearing of man bent by habitual misfor-
tune. Let the man who happily enjoys
the advantages Of pure and honest life
speak of it to q fellow being, and you will
soon see whether he be, in addition to his
honesty, gentle or not The gentleman
does not needlessly and uncessingly remain
an offender of wrong he may have COM
mitted against him. He can only forgive !;
he can forget; and he strives for that no.
bleness of character which imparts suffici-
ent strength to let the past be truly past.
He will never use the power which the
knowledge Of an offense, false step, or an
unfortunate exposure Of weakness gives
him, merely to enjoy the power Of humili-
ating its neigbor. A true man of honor
feels humbled himself, when he cannot help
humbling othcrs.-Dr. Lie6er.

SAN Francisco, Jan. l7.--During the
past fifty hours, it has rained hard almost
necessarily. The storm still continues.
Yesterday noon the water at Sacramento
commenced rising again. The third com~
plete inundation of that city is unavoidable;
an area OF land now Overfowed in the State
is twenty miles broad, and two hundred and
fifty long, taking upwards of three millions
acres most arabic, considerable portion
being actually fenced and titled. 1t is esti.
mated that $500 cattle and sheep have
been drowned since winter commenced. The
unprecedented SUCCESSION of the tremendous
storms have washed the mining regions
where the ground was previously upturned
and dug over, producing great changes,
rendering a probable increase of the gold
product from Placer diggings the ensuing
season.
