The Christian Gentleman.

When the terms "Christian" and the
term gentleman" are associated together,
the term "Christian" is taken in its larg-
est, not in its smallest sense. 1t means
Christian in principle and sentiment; hu-
man in idea conception and feeling
When the old dramatist, Thomas Dek-
ker, called Jesus "the first true gentle
man that ever breathed," what did he
have in mind but this He thought of
the Jesus who spoke tender and kind
words to the woman in the street. whom
others despised; the man who sat at meat
with scorned publicans, and those whom
the aristocratic convention circle of his
time pronounced infdel and accursed !;
the man who, when he saw that the COM
mon prostitute needed not reproach but
a word of encouragement, spoke to her
the word of encouragement though he
did it in the presence of Pharisees, in a
Pharisees house as he sat at meat at
Pharisees table where he was a guest by
a Pharisee's invitation. The gentleman
whom Thomas Decker had in mind was
the man who went on his errand of mer-
cy, not to those of Judea but into the
wilderness, into the country of the Ger
gesenes, among idolators and Pagans !;
the man who gave the noblest statement
of his grandest ideas to woman, a Sa-
marltan woman, whom all his country
people would have detested and consid
cred it a shame to speak to at all the
man who, in all pure minds might stand
today as the personifcation of that large
and beautiful manhood which is of no
sect, no church, no religion, but Of man
kind. Such was the first true gentleman
that ever breathed, we'll might one say
so. How many like him have breathed
since how many like him are breathing
today2 How many of us dare to call
ourselves gentlemen after this majestic
type2 Not one.
But there is not the meanest of US all
who may not think of this as the perfec-
ton of gentlemanliness. There is not
one of US who may not hold the beauti
full conception before him. Happy he
who SO steadily keeps it in view and SO
steadfastly tries to realize it that the light
and beauty and glory of it he may possess
himself 70. B. rockingham on THE

Rum in Two Families.

John Dempsey, baker, Of sos East
Fourteenth street, was arraigned before
Justice Otterburg yesterday on a charge
of cruelty to his wife and two children
He had been a hard drinker for months,
and had sold his furniture to buy liquor,
even depriving his family of clothing
His wife is confined to a mattress on the
floor, having been cruelty beaten by him.
On Tuesday evening on reaching home
he seized his six-year-old daughter, Rose,
by the neck and knocked her down. His
wife was struck by him with a tin kettle
and turned into the hallway. The neigh
bors called an officer and he arrested
Dempsey. Only few days ago he sold
the few rags that the family used as cloth
ing bedding. Justice Otterbourg sent
him to Blackwelps Island for six months
Officer Chiardi took to the Jefferson
Market Police Court yesterday Ellen
Flynn, years of age, and Annie Flynn,
years of age, whose mother had aband-
oned them. When the officer went to
the house at 800 West Forty second street
he found the father drunk and the little
ones crying for bread. The. mother
abandoned her home two weeks ago
Justice Smith sent the children to the
House of Mercy.-[N. Y. Sun.

Two Hearts.

Suggested 6g the picture al, Memoftun1." ;"
In the Sunlight, darting, dancing,
Birds amid the green leaves glanclng'
In the balmy air enhancing,
Breathes the Spring
'Tis the dearest hour of daytime;
Who'd be sadA
Nature revels in her playtfme;
All is glad.
Who is this that cometh slowly?
Tis a maiden meek and low! y;
In her eyes,
Look of resignation holy
Shadowy lies.
Heeds she not the golden cleaning
Through the leaves
Still she grieVes.
He her heart 10 win had striven;
She her heart TO him had given;
Heart from heart for aye is riven
He is dead
Mid the cruel cannon IS rattle,
Passed his soul forth in the battle
To Heaven for her from the battle
Ere he died.
On the day when, heavy-hearted,
He had from his love departed
While each heart with sorrow smarted-
On that day.
He had left a little token,
That if earthly ties were broken,
On the tree
Tender tie, though all unspoken,
Still might be.
He had carved two hearts united
Sign of troth and promise plghted;
Sign that they
True will be till oeath-benighted,
Come what may.
He in each heart-sign that never
Time shall one from other sever
Graved each name;
Sign that they will be for ever
Still the same.
Daily comes she here to borrow
Short relief from SoreSt sorrow,
Partial peace,
Till when on her life's tomorrow
Grief shall cease.
So she dreams of heavenly meeting.
Hears her lost loves tender greeting
Mid the blest,
Where beyond these troubles feeting,
There is rest.
Hearts which here were disunited,
Hearts whose hopes on earth were blighted,
On that shore
Rest, in perfect peace delighted,
EvermOre.

How She Gave the Census.

When the census-taker raped at the
door of certain Detroit cottage on Craw
ford street the other day, and wondered
if the woman would set the dog on hin

the door softly, snuffed the air to see i

can article from General Grosvenor, in
reply to an editorial in last weeks Tele-
graph, will be found in one of the inside
columns of our present issue. The reply
is in excellent taste, and its spirit com
mendable; and had his Columbus speech
been wholly of like character, there
would have been no occasion for his writ
ing this letter. But unfortunately on
that occasion, in allusion to Blaine and
Conkling, he spoke of the 'sheeted deed
of the Cincinnati Convention. 'gibbering
and squeaking' in the Roman Streets
Now we confess that we have as little
liking for abuse of Blaine and Conkling
as for abuse of the President; and it's
our opinion that no judicious friend of
the Republican party will indulge in such
practices at this juncture. Not only
must this public abuse of prominent Re,
publicans be stopped, if we expect the
party to live, but Republicans must cease
to stand upon the street corners and de-
nounce Republicans with whom they
happen to disagree, as knaves and trait
ors. Now let General Grosvenor but act
upon the spirit of his communication, and
direct all his blows against the Demo
cratic party, and he will never hear of
the editor OF the Telegraph finding fault
with him. = Pomeroy Telegraph.

SAFE AND SURE.

Mr.. II. r. Stevens:-
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to
me, and, yielding to the persuasions of friend,
I consented to try it. At the time was suffer-
Ing from general debility and nervous prostra-
ton, superinduced by overwork and irregular
habits. Its wonderful strengthening and cura-
tive properties seemet. affect my debilitated
sustem from the first dose; and under its per-
Sistent use rapidly recovered, gaining more
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified endorsement, as being safe, sure,
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system to new life and
energy. VegetIne is the only medicine use ;
and as long 1 live never expect to find a
better. Yours truly, w. H. CLARK,
