What is a gentleman? 1t is simply
this-a man of perfect and unsullied
honor. No man, however fine his
clothes and elegant his maners, can
be a gentleman, unless his instinc-
tive sense of honor is as fine as "the
ear of a musical composer, who lis
tens to musicians who play his own
works, SO that he could not do q dis
honest, a mean, or n cruel thing, for
the whole world. He will not be
true only in those palmer paths over
which the law keeps strict watch.
OF course, he will pay his debts, and
forbcar to lie or steal, Or to have more
wives than one; and his word is as
good as oath or bond could be. Be-
ing dccently honorable, he will keep
his given promise to a man and his
trothplight to girl, and will refrain
from circulating scandal concerning
woman, or showing his love letters;
| but there are also u thousand delicate
points on which he has no doubt
whatever. He knows when he may
take; when a thing may be forgiven,
and when to forgive, or rather to for
get, would be an eternal stain upon
his homer. For in this world to blot
out ones own life. Not that a man
need seek revenge, only he must re-
member that he may not give an
honorable hand to be clasped by one
which is stained with dishonor. He
takes no favor that is not right to
take; and so he ever takes one gen.
erously, and returns it when he may,
Those who trust in him trust we'll
they are never betraycd.-The man
with heart; therefore he is never q
ilirt. He leaves no woman in doubt
as to whether he is her friend or hcl
lovcr-no, not the vainest or the
sillicst of her sex; and when he mar.
ries he has no secrets from his wife
nor does she have any from him, He
would lift a letter from the ground
with the seal uppcrmost, as certain,
ly if you were not present as if you
were, for he does none of these things
because he desires you to think him
what he is, but because he is what
he is by nature-a man of honor.

AN OLD SETTLERS YARN.

The subject of this sketch, Billy
Mckinney, was born in North Caro-
lima, about the year 1902. His faith
er immigratod to Kentucky when he
was three years old, bringing Billy
and a sister two years older in a
couple of hamper baskets strapped
across a horse, The. same horse car
ricd the household and kitchen furn-
iturc besides, and was led by the old
lady, the father carrying a rifle, with
which they supplied their daily pro,
visions. He reach his destination in
the fall of 1895, and settled on Clear
creek, where he spent his time be.
tween cultivating n small farm and
hunting, Billy grew up much as
other young men of the country, and
though he may have been proof
against hardship and rough living,
yet he was not against the smiling
face and black eyes of Miss Polly
Alexander, young lady who lived
near by In fact, he was completely
captivatcd, As many of the young
men Of the present day do, he seemed
to live only in her smiles. But alas!
for human happincss-thc course Of
true love novor did run smooth. AL.
though he had proposed andb been nc.
copied, just before the time for them
to be married there came call from
the governor for troops, and as bad
luck would have it, Billywas drafted.
When the fatal lay arrived for the
rendezvous Billy went over to take
leave of his lady love, but found it
simply impossible, An officer sent

The Woes ola Husband.

John Henry has been off on a bus
iness trip (saysthe Cincinnati 7imes,)
and got home at 8 in the morning.
He found the doors all locked, and
tried to get in at the back window,
in the course of which proceeding a
policeman nabbcd him for burglar.
"Why you big idiot, | live here
said the injured man.
"No you don't, Gully; that dog want
jump. I've hadnipperson you afore'
You're a cunning cove, you are,
"But l tell you, you blasted fool,
that my name is Henry, and | live
here. Just ring the bell and ask my
wife.
So the guardian of the law rang
the bell, purely as matter of form,
for he knew his man. Mrs, Henry
stuck her night-cap out of the win
dow, and asked; SIS that you, Char
lie?"
"Who in the blue blazes is Char
lie?' thought John Henry, and, while
his heart was boiling over with jeal-
-opsy, the policeman asked
as your husband at home, ma'm?'
"No, he's ont of town, and won't
be home for several days." and then
slammed the window down in hur-
ry.
So the bewildered John went off tc
the station house, and found on The
next morning that "Charlie" was a
brother from the country who had
come to make a few days visit.

anew had to gtarl immedia!ely for New


they had to start Immediately for New
Orleans.
The house in which Miss Polly
lived was a small log cabin, one room,
one door, puncheon floor and clap
board roof. The furniture was in
keeping with the house; straight
post bedstead, three-legged stools
with no backs, and other things on
the same order, When the sergeant
got within fifty yards of the house
the dog barked, and Billy went to
the door and was seen by the whole
party. They all thought they hat
him sure enough, and SO thought Bill
ly. The latter walked back to the
fire, told Polly it was all up with
him. But there is many slip be
tween the cup and lip, especially
where a woman is concerned, and
that sergeant had reckoned without
his host, for there was never a more
striking instance of the ready wit OF
woman in case of emergency. She
told Billy to sit down in the corner
and draw his feet upunder him, then
she sat down on his head and Shout
.dcrs, spread her skirts over ham,
completely concealing him and went
to knitting away as calmly as if she
had been sitting on one of the three
legged stools, as the conscripting
party thought she was. The officer
searched the cabin from top to bot
tom, and thought he knew he saw
him, he had to go away without him.
They left the next day, and Billy
was left, and lost an opportunity OF
distinguishing himself in the battle
of New Orleans, but he married Pol
ly, and was still living a few years
ago.

In speaking of PERSONS faults,
Pray don't forget your own;

But talk Of those who sin,

Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.

Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friends or foe,

A WOMAN FLOATING IN FIRE.-Mr.
Thomas Land, living in Pamlico coun-
ty, about twenty miles from this city,
informed us Saturday, that on Friday
night, after he had retired, he heard his
dogs barking furiously in the yard, and
went to the back door to ascertain the
cause. On opening the door, sight
met his gaze which froze his blood.
Just in front of him-so close that ne
could feel the heat-was suspended in
the air large ball of fire, about the
size and in the shape of woman. On
his making an exclamation of horror,
his wife became alarmed, and rushed to
the door to see what was the matter.
When she discovered the fire-woman
1--WE will call iD she Immediately faint
ed. After putting his wife on the bed,
Mr. Land informs us, he became fright
ened at what he had seen that he laid
down and covered up head and ears.
Shortly thereafter the ball of fire passed
around the house, although the night
was dark one Mr.. Land says one
could easily see how to pick up a pin
IN any part of the house because OF the
great flood of light from the fre-woman.
