The REAL GEETtEM4N-Not he
who displays the latest fashion,
dresses in extravigance with gold
rings and chains to display. Not
he who talks the loudest, and makes
constant use of profaue language
and vulgar words. Not he who is
proud and overbearing-who op-
presses the poor and looks with
contempt on honest industry. Nor
he who cannot control his passions,
and humble himself as q child
No; none of these are real gentle
men. It is he who is kind and
obligingAwho is ready to do you
a favor with no hope of reward /;
who visits the poor, and assists
those who are in need who is more
of his heart than the dress
of his person; who is humble and
sociable-not irrascible or revenge
full; who always speaks the truth
without resorting to profane or in
decent words. Such a man is a
real gentleman, wherever he may
be found. Rich or poor, high or
low, he is entitled to the appella-
ton.

"Home, Sweet Home !"

Was penned in garret of the Palais
Royal. Paris, when its author, poor John
Howard Payne, was so utterly destitute
and friendess that he knew not where the
next days dinner was coming from. More
than once the unfortunate author, waIkiBg

the storm and darkness.r hungry, :, ~
less and penniless, saw the cheerfs
cleaning through the windows oil

song drifting out upon the gloom 7s1lght.
to mock the wanderers heartfwith visions
of comfort and joy. whose blessed reality
was forever denied to him. Home, Sweet
Home was written by homeless man.
If fame is to be estimated by wide
spread popularity, we had rather be the au-
thor of Home, Sweet Home" than all
the verses of all the poets ou: land has
known from its earliest age to the present
hour. There is little in the ballad when
we subject it to critical analysis, and yet
this very simplicity is the precious gem
which has snatched it from forgetfulnes,
and blended the familiar lines with the ho-
liest associations of the freside. How Gu
rious that this humble daisy, this "wee,
modest, crimson-tipped flower" should
grow and blossom into fair renown when so
many monarchs of the forest lie prone in
the dust, unnoiiced and unknown.
The sands of the desert have long since
covered the grave of John Howard Payne.
and the place where ''after life's ftful fe-
yer. he sleeps WE'LL" is unknown but
"Home, Sweet Home" is a monument
which will carry his name and fame to the
remotest pOsterity, and stand firm when
efigies of marble and of bronze shall have
sunk into indistinguishable decay.

We care not whether he be farmer, mechan-

are endured in the workshop, the field or
the coal mine whether his home is in the
backwoods or in the neat cottage-our ad-
miration is all the same. What happy
picture be presents what a reward for
his labor, who, by his own uuaded exer-
tions, establishes for himself a respectable
position in society; who, commencing in
poverty, by his skill and assiduity, sur
mounts every obstacle, overcomes every
prejudice, and finally succeeds in forming
character whose value is enhanced bv
those who come after him. Such a man
we prize as the noblest work of which hu-
man nature is capable-the highest produc-
tion she can boast And let il be borne in

him of So many dimes. Too deeply in his

"Do you not like me, papa? Are you
mad at me ?'' asked Willie, in a hesitating
tone, as they stood few moments on the
pavement, for the scene in the bar room

summer clothes, and causing his flesh to
culver and his teeth to chatter.

seemed to notice him he stole toward the
glowing CRATE, and spread out his purple
palms before the blaze. The group of men
that encircled the bar were drinking when
he entered. Soon, however, they set dow q
