! The GUSHING MAN.-The gushing man
is familiar and caressing. He may be
patronizing or playful, according to the
bent of his own nature. If the first, he
viii coll his snperiors, my dear boy, and
pat them on the back encouragingly; II
the second, he will put his arm, SCHOOL
boy fashion, round the neck of any man
of note, who has the misfortune of his
intimacy, and call him old fellow, or
Governor, or req nneuS. as he is inclined.
With women, his familiarity is excessive
ly offensive, and he gives them pet names,
or calls to them by their Christian names
from one end of the room to the other,
and pats them in all fraternal affection
ateness, after about the same length of
acquaintanceship as would bring other
men from the bowing stage to that of
shaking hands. The gushing man has
one small defect-he is neither safe nor
secret. From no bad motive, but Just
from the blind propulsion of gushing
ness, he cannot keep a secret, and he is
sure to let out. sooner or later, all he
knows. He holds back nothing of his
friends or of his own-not even when
his honor is engaged in the trust-being
essentially loose-lippcd, and with his emo
tional life always bubbling up through
the thin crust OF conventional reserve.
Not that he means to be dishonorable;
he Is only gushing and unrestrained.
