are not essential to the makeup
a gentleman. Some Of tho meanest
scrubs and scalawags in the world dress
broadcloth and fine linen. The true
never affects IN artificial,
hypocritical %politensss, but ever sim
cerely attentive to the desires and opin-
ions of all, he endcayors to treat every
body kindly, fairly and above all, he
never willingly or consciously, by word
or deed, Injuries the feelings Of even the
humblest Of his fellow beings. He
never manufactures, circulates or even
listens to slanderous reports rejecting
upon the fair fame Of others. Affability
neatness, decorum, d%iHidence, modesty,
intelligence, and true unsel6sh polite
ness are among the attributes Of the
gentleman. He never forgets himself,
whatever his condition or situation may
be in life, and will naturally be under
stood and appreciated, wherever his lot
is cast. True ladies have an intuitive
perception of the true gentleman, and
treat him accordingly, knowing we'll
how to value him. His path through
life will be pleasant to journey on, and
long after death his honorable merits
and many virtues will be remembered.
"Tried and true" is an aphorism ap-
plicable to but comparatively few among
us. "Tried and found wanting" is
more universally applicable, 1t is only
BY comparison that we learn the true
value of things. A man never realizes
his own smartness half so we'll as when
he is able to perceive inferiority in 9TH
ers, and no man is truly known until he
has been practically tried. An egg
she'll in a smooth sea will float just as
we'll as a thousand ton ship. Scores Of
quartz lodges, in the estimation Of their
owners, are just as rich as the Com
stock, and yield imaginary wagon loads
of silver bricks, until a milling test dis
pels the fond dream. A clapboard
shanty, set on stills, is just as safe rs a
brick house, while there is nc wind to
blow it over. A silk thread will hold q
mule just as well as q wire cable, unless
the beast should take q notion to pull
back. By trial, alone, everything is
fairly proven and satisfactorily under
stood.
Fortune fayors the brave. He who
deliberately folds his lazy arms and
lives in hope, waiting for something
to turn up" will never find himself the
special favorite of fortune. The lucky
ones on whom the tickle goddess deigns
to bestow her golden smiles, are only
those who resolutely roll up their
sleeves, and put their shoulder to the
wheel, resolved to go ahead on their
own responsibility and make their mark
in the world. Those who are really
earnest and honest in their endeavors
to prosper in the world, will always find
friends to assist them.
Aspirants for appointments as police
men in San Francisco are said to be as
tonishingly plenty, some three or four
thousand having already filed their ap-
plications under the new police law.
They must have pretty good times and
pay on the police down there, it would
seem, by so many applying for the posi-
ton. They are not halfso anxious over
here. The pay is only a 500 per month
in greenbacks, and the office no sine
cure, therefore good, reliable men for
the position are not very plenty. The
office literally " seeks the man."
Maintain your dignity, otherwise no
one will maintain it for you. Look
straight ahead with a fixed purpose in
view, and mind your own business
Don't stop to wrangle with every 10"
scrub of q fellow who viliies or sneers
at you as you pass along on the journey
of life, if you do, you will make poor
Roadway. Kick a mean dog, and you
honor the cur at the expense of your
own dignity and self-respect. You are
certainly liable to elevate" the dog
"Money makes the mare CO." is a
time honored saying, but it is equally
as true that the mare makes the money
go.
