What Constitutes a Gentleman,

How many various ideas we have of a
gentleman Every person aims to become
gentleman, and there is no one but
would regard it as an insult to be told he
was not. Every one, therefore, is gen
tleman III his own way. Some think
dress is the onl y requisite; some, wealth
regardless Of dress, mind or manners.
Wealth Is doubtlss the great SINE qua non
of gentility in our day. A perfect boor
is transformed into a gentleman by its
magic power; his power admits him at
once into the most refined ~ circles and
amongst the highest class. He appears
with bold assurance where genius and
true merit dare not come. But after all
Is he true gentleman
The poor scholar who racks his brain
to earn his bread-the artist, whose
struggling genius earns him bare sub
slStance-the teacher, whose miserable
plttance but just buys bread enough to
satlate the clamorous appetites OF half a
dozen children, cannot, of course, be
gentlemen They are the servants of the
wealthy, and an insurmountable barrier
keeps them away from the real gentle
man, and walls them up in their own lit
tie circle, their proper sphere.
w don t all think so however-thanks
to American common sense There are
some gentlemen in the world that money
meyer made, and few that wealth never
exalted to such a dizzy height as to rem
der them completely oblvious of the
fact that they were yet frail human crea
lures, and lived in common brotherhood
with the rest Of mankind.
Gentility is not in wealth it is not in
dress, nor genius nor any other attribute
of man. unless it go hand in hand with
cheerful disposition, an amiable temper
and a philantl ropic will. These are real
bona .tiae gentleman in all classes of So
ciet7, and he is the greatest gentleman
who nllngles with all and remains unfair
nlshed. Real gentility is moral freedom;
1t respects no particular persons, as
class beyond their merits; it does not ex.
clude one man because he is poor but
embracing all who are worthy, it rel CARDS
them as kindred souls who should ever
dwell tremendously together. This con-
StltuteS gentleman

Prom the Evening Wisconsin Of the 23d.


Notwithstanding the efforts made by
the people of the Valley of the Wiscon-
sin to rid their section Of the desperadoes
who have so long infested it, murder is
still rampant Whether the desperadoes
desire to show that ii is dangerous to
NEEDLE with them, or the last crime is
merely the force of habit, we know not,
but certain 1t is that the last is the most
trightful of all. May God have mercy
upon the murderers. for we are certain,
knowing the state Of public feeling up
there. if the murderers are caught they
will be shown no mercy.
Yesterday Mr. r. H. Davis, a we'll
known miller at Lemonweir, went to
Mansion and drew 5000 from the bank
for the purpose of buying wheat for his
mill. It seems that he drew the money
and was on his way home. He had evil
IDENTITY just reached the east switch of the
railroad at Lemonweir, when he was
struck on the head with some blunt in
| strument and a wound inflicted that stun
ned him. Every dollar was taken from
his pockets, and they were all left turned
inside out.
As the murderers completed their
work. it is believed that the whistle of
| liam w. VI tilC ~ oul lOdu WIS
heard, announcing the approach of the
train and this may have put the hellish
| design into the heads of the men. The
body was thrown upon the track and the
train passed over it severing both legs
from the body of the poor, unfortunate
miller. He was left on the spot. Shortly
after the train passed, without knowing
what had been done, another train came
along, and discovered Mr. Davis. The
train was stopped and the body was taken
up, when it was found that life was not
extinct. The man was gasping, but be
could not speak, and died in a few mo-
ments afterwards. The body was taken
to Lemonweir, where the sad intelligence
soon spread, and the excitement wa.
great. Parties were sent out in search
of the murdcrers in every direction, and
| it is hoped they will be arrested ant
brought to justice.
The spot where Mr. Davis was found
is some distance from the depot, and il
issolated and well suited for the commits
sion of crime without discovery.
This morning an inquest was held upor
the body of Mr. Davis, and the jur,
the deceased, Il. H. Davis, of Lemon
weir, was murdered by some person O
persons unknown, by blows upon his heat
with some sharp instrument and that hi
body was then thrown upon the railwa,
track at Lemonwelr station, at $50 p
M, Of Wednesday, September 22d. "
The county of Juneau offers reward
Of $500 for the arrest Of the murderer O
murderers
The excitement in the vicinity is great
and people from the country, as the,
come in and look at the body, turn away
without word, yet with vengeanc
written upon every feature of their faces
No efforts will be spared to find the mul
derers.

"PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE"

Up IN this world, and down IN ti,i, world
And over this world and through,
Though drifted about,
And tossed without,
Why, paddle your own canoe"
What though the sky is heavy with clouds,
Or shining field of blue?
If the bleak wind blows,
Or the sunshine CLOVIS,
Still "paddle your own canoe"
What if breakers rise up ahead,
With dark waves rushing through,
More steadily try,
With steadfast eye.
To "paddIe your own canoe
IF a hurricane rise in the midnight sky,
And the stars are lost to view,
Glide safely along,
With smile and song,
And s'paddle your own canoe.
Up in this world and down in this world,
Over this world and through.
Though weary and worn,
Berert forlorn,
Still "paddle your own canoe.
Never give up when trials come,
Never grow sad ard blue;
Never sit down
With a tear or frown,
But "
There are daisies springing along the shores,
Blooming and sweet for you;
There are rose-hued dyes
In the autumn skies
Then ''paddle your own canoe"

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. - Massachusetts,

standing. They are expected to make themselves
acquainted with the workings Of the railroad
system, TO search out its defects and sbort-com-

psoyemeut where needed, to hear and inyesti
gate the grievances Of business men on the
score Of delays, to encourage enterprise on the
part Of managers, and to remedy stubborn
abuses with iirm and impartial hand.
The Office Is no sinecure to the incumbents.
provided they undertake to thoroughly perform
these duties and the power which goes with
them, unless welded with great prudenc may
prove more effective in creating partisan feuds
than in reforming abuses. The workings Of the
experiment Of such supervision of the roads, will
be watched with interest in other States.
