Wherein Gentlemanliness Consists.


What it is that constitutes the look of
gentleman is more easily felt than de-
scribed we all know it when we see it,
but do not know how to account for it,
or to explain wherein it consists. Ease,
grace, dignity have been given as the ex-
ponents and expressive symbols of this
look but would rather say that an ha-
bitual self possession determines the APP
pearance of a gentleman. He should
have the complete command, not only
over his countenance, but over his limbs
and motions. In other words, he should
discover in his ar and manner a Volun-
tary power over his whole body, which
with every infection of it should be I'M
der the control of his will. 1t must be
evident that he does as he likes, with
out any restraint, confusion, or awk-
wardness. He is, in fact, master of his
person, as the professor of any art or
science is of a particular instrument; he
directs it to whatever use he pleases and
intends. Wherever this power and fac
ulty appear, we recognize the look and
department of the gentleman, that is,
of person who by his habits and inter
course with society, has had little else
to do than to study those movements
and that carriage of the body which are
accompanied with most satisfaction to
himself, and were to excite the approba-
ton of the behol Ter. Ease, it might be
observed, is not enough dignity is too
much. There must be a sort of rctenue,
a conscious decorum, added to the first,
and a certain " familiarity of regard
quenching the austere countenance of
control in the other, to answer to our
conception of this character. Perhaps
propriety is as near word as any to de-
note the manners of the gentleman, ell
egance is necessary to the fine gentle
man; dignity is proper to noblemen !;
and majesty to kings. -HazLjtt

The Western Farmers Griefs.

Ii we are asked whether we mean to
say that there is nothing in the western
farmers complaint that third of their
crop is consumed in getting it to mar
ket, we answer that there is something
IN 1t, but apparently not what they i'm
agine. If we are asked, farther, wheth-
er 1T is not a horrible thing that corn
should be used as a fuel in Iowa when
so many millions OfpeOple all over the
world are short of food, we reply also
that we do not see anything particular
ly horrible about it. Distance is one
of the facts of nature to be accepted
and dealt with like other facts of ma
Internationally. If a man chooses to
go out into the wilderness without
roads, wagons, or any other means of
reaching a market, and plant ten times
as much corn as he and his family can
consume, and then, in the fall, begins
to wall and lament because he cannot
find a purchaser for it, nobody pays
any attention to him, or people content
themselves with telling him that he
ought to have bethought himself of the
market before he built his house or put
in his crop. If he begins to weep and
asks whether he must use it for fuel,
they tell him unhesitatingly that it is
his duty and privilege to do 50, if he
cannot turn it into any better account !;
that he is no more bound to trouble
himself about the starving poor in Eng
land, and India, and China, than about
the houseless poor in New York, when
he is surrounded by leagues of trees.
If he were still to refuse to be comforted,
and were to maintain that large num-
bes of industrious people in the east
and in England, ought to club their sa-
wings and cut a wagon-road to his
house, load up his corn, and cart it off
as far east as may be necessary to Sc
cure him a fair price for it, we should
simply laugh and walk off. And yet
the foregoing would be, with a few tri-
fling changes, fair statement of the
case of the western farmers against the
railroads in the matter of charges. -
The Nation.
