inc. And yet do not know thar can better
define the republican gentleman than nv taking
the description which, when the age of chiyalry
was not yet gone, the father OF English poetry
gave of his young knight, the flower Of English
Chiyalry
"Curteis he was, lowly aud serviceable"
Courtesy, modesty, service In naming
courtesy first among the qualities of Jour re.
publican gentleman, / do not mean by it
any conventional or artificial system Of man
ners peculiar 10 courts or any classes of society.
Let us Of the republic give the word a new
derivation, not from court, but from c0ejr the
heart. Then not confined 10 any calling or
sphere Of life, it finds its cOngenial home in
minds trained and elevated by culture such as
you have received.
Ingenious arts, where they an entrance find,
Soften the manners and subdue the mind.
Courtesy, modesty, service. This courtesy
is inSeparable from its kindred grace of modes
ty. | can understand an arrogant, insole
self asserting blockhead. But arrogance, in
science, selfaSSerton are cured and divine
humility takes their place in thusU minds which
have entered even the outer porch Of the tenn
pie of learning, which have caught but the
| imntest glympSe of that mighty ocean Of truth
on whose shore even Newton claimed but to
| have picked up a few shells.
| Courtesy, mOdeSty, service. As the golden
rule contains within itself the germ and essence
OF repubicauism, 50 the author of the golden
rule has given the Jest tombstone of the re-
publican gentleman, Gle that is greatest
among you shall he your servant" Elsewhere
the gentleman is an idler. Here he is work
ingman. Other countries honor their masters,
The republic hOpors its servants.
