What is a Gentleman?

ST. Louis Republican: 1t is not
birth, position, profession, or even
education that constitutes the gen
tleman. Unless there is a sub
stratum of noble manhood there can
be no real craftsmanship. One
must be thoroughly manly man in
order to be thorough gentleman;
and thoroughly manly men are not
found exclusively in fine houses
and fine clothes. 1t is quite posi-
BILE to have "the blood of all the
Howaids" in your veins, the culture
of all the schools in your head, the
money of all the Rothschilds IN
your pockets, the accolade of all the
kings on your shoulder, the graces
of all the Chester6elds in your de
pertinent, and yet TO fall very far
short of being an unimpeachable
gentleman. 1t is quite possible to
come from plebian stock, to be de-
ficient in learning and in cash, to
have neither the hOnors nor the
manners of courts, and yet to be
one of Gods own gentlemen. OF
that man only who has faithfully
often he may have
failed-to live up to the golden
rule; who has valued his seli-re-
spect more than success, his hon
esty more than wealth, his pride
more than vanity, his independence
more than ease, his convictions more
than comfort, his duty more than
that man only can 1t
be said:
"And so he bore, cans blight or ban,
The grand old name of gentlemen"

Neatness on the Farm.

Neatness of appearance enhances
the value of articles which one may
have for sale This is especially
true upon the farm. We will ven
ture to say that the farmer who at
tends to the exterior of things in
general, such as clean stables and
animals, clean yards and buildings,
and fences in good repair will OBJ
tain five to ten per cent. more for
the products of his farm than one
who neglects such simple matters.
If any one doubts the effect of cX-
ternal appearance upon values in
market or elsewhere. let him try
sending butter to market in an old
weather beaten iirkin, no matter
how good the butter or clean the
vessel may be inside. If this does
not satisfy, try some stained or dir
ty eggs, or half plucked poultry
Producing a good article is one
thing and selling it TO advantage is
quite another, and the good sales
men generally makes the most
money of the two. The Importance
of a fair exterior can hardly be
over estimated This principle is
potent in any branch of trade ard
in every grade of society; there
fore 1t is too important TO be over
looked or passed UNDECIDED.

Dont's for Husbands.

Don't think that when you have
won a wife that you have also won
a slave.
Don't think that your wife has
less feeling than your sweetheart.
Her relationship to you has only
changed, not her nature.
Don't think that you can dispense
with all the civilities towards her
when you are married. She appre
ciates those things quite as much as
other women.
Don't be gruff and rude at home.
Had you been that sort of a fellow
before marriage, the probabilities
are you would he sewing on your
own buttons still.
Don't make your wife feel that
she is an encumbrance on you, by
giving grudgingly, What she
needs, give it cheerfuliy, as if it
were pleasure to do so. She will
feel better and so will you.
Don't NEEDLE in the affairs under
her charge. You nave no more
business pokIng you nose in the
kitchen than she has to walk into
your place Of business anu give di
rections to your employers.
Don find fault with her extrava
gance in ribbons, ETC., until you
have shut down on cigars, tobacco,
etc.
Don't leave your wife at home to
nurse the children on the score of
economy, while you bolt down to
see the show or spend a dollar on
billiards.
Don't bolt your supper and hur-
ry up to spend your evening roam
ing around away from your wife.
Before marriage you could not
spend evenings enough in her COM
pany.
Don't prowl in loafing resorts
until midnight, wasting your time
in culpable idleness, leaving your
wife at home to brood over your
and her disappointment.

A Small Boy on Tobacco.

Tobacco grows something like
cabbage, but l never saw none
cooked, although l have eaten
boiled cabbage with vinegar on it,
and have heard men say that cigars
that was given them on election
days was mostly cabbage leaves.
Tobacco stores are mostly kept by
wooden Indians. who stand at the
door and fool little boys by offering
them a bunch of cigars which was
glued into the Injun's hands, and is
made of wood also. Hogs don't
like tobacco; neither do l. / tried
to smoke a cigar once, and l felt
like EPSON salts. Tobacco was in
vented by a man named Walter
Raleigh. When the people hrst

one night, and he had a cigar in his

she would like it, and she said,
Leroy, the perfume is agreeable"
But when my big brother Tom

Poverty.

Poverty is no disgrace, It's true,
but we may easily make it so by
continually whInin1 and bemoaning
our lot. When we reflect that many
of the ablest men that this or any
other nation has produced were as
poor as church mice, we see no rea-
son why We should not hold up our
heads. Some may not respect us
because We age poor, but as a gen
eral thing, their respect even for the
rich is not of such a nature as would
cause them to make selt-sacrifices
for their friends. One tried friend
in poverty is worth a thousand
when fortune smiles. The old ad
age has il, that " is very inconven-
lent to be poor" and so it is; but
then there is one advantage the
poor have over the rich, viz: they
are not subjected to many of the
Ills, and not half the annoyance of
their more prosperous fellow-crea-
lures. 1t does not follow that poor
people must have poor ways. Pow
ert, results from habits of Incidence
and filth, but on the other hand,
economy and an honest, faithful ef-
fort to accomplish something and
be something in the world, begets
ccntentment and thrift if not riches.

Receipt for Making Soap.

The following is a receipt for
making hard soap, which is excel
lent and economical:
Nearly every family accumulate
through the winter and summer,
drippings from beef and mutton,
etc These can be utilized from the
grease by boiling In water, allowing
to cool, then removing from The
water and boiling till all the water
is expelled. or course, the whiter
the grease the nicer the soap. Take
six pounds of sal soda, six pounds
of grease. three and a half pounds
new stone lime, four gallons of soft
water. and half a pound of borax.
Put soda. lime and wster into an
iron boiler; boil till all is dissolved;
when well settled, pour off the clear
I've, wash out the kettle and put in
the I've, grease and borax; boil till
it comes to soap, then pour into a
tub TO cool, and when sufficiently
hard, cut into bars and put on
boards to dry, using q fine brass
wire to cut the soap with. This is
very nice for washing white flannel
and calico, etc.

Stand at the Head.

Young man, # you are going to
be a farmer, be a good one. DO
not play second fiddle to any one.
BE the chief musician yourself.
This being second, third, fourth or
fifth rate Is not just the thing. 1t
is the first that always WINS esteem
and respect. Study, observe, listen
and gather information pertaining
tu your business from every source,
anu can soon know as much as any
one. Let no day pass without some
increase OF knowledge. Whatever
stock you have let it be good and
take good care of it, and improve it
as fast as your means will admit.
Whatever fruit you have let 1t be
and study how to improve
it, how to market it so as to get the
best price. If you have a garden,
let it be the first in the neIghbOr
hood. Be at the head OF the class,
not third or fourth or at the foot.

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HARoLp. EpIroR.
Advice to Young Women.

| 1t is the duty of every woman to
be true lady. Brazen boIdDess is
a thing which girls cannot afford to
practice. Wildness of manner and
an open defiance of all those whole
some laws which have made wo-
mans name illustrious both in sa-
cred and profane history from be-
ginning of time, are no more be-
coming in girls and young ladies'"
so called, than In angels. Delica-
cy is an innate quality of the female
heart, which, when once lost can
never be regained. No art can re-
store to the grape its bloom or its
mildews OF night have once settled
down upon the vine. Familiarity
without love, without confidence,
without regard to the common rules
of etiquette even, is destructive of
all that makes woman exalting and
ennObliDg.
.The world is wide, these things are small;
They may be nothing, but they are all"
Nothing! 1t is the first duty OF
woman to be a lady. Good breed
ing is good sense. Bad manners in
woman is immortality. Awkward
ness in some may never be entirely
overcome by graceful action. Bash
tulness with some is constitutional
and cannot be eradicated. Igno-
rance of etiquette is the result of
circumstances. All these can be
condoned, and do not Danish the
true lady or gentleman from the So
cial amenities belonging to their
respective social positions in life.
But an assumption of self-haughti
ness, unshrinking and aggressive
coarseness OF department, may be
reckoned as a semi penal ofense,
and certainly merits and should re-
ceive the mild form of restraint
called Imprisonment from the ESQ
terics of social life. 1t is a shame
for women to be twitted on their
manners. 1t is bitter shame that
so many need it Women are the
umpires OF all good refined society.
1t is to them tina all disputable !
questions of etiquette and fashion
are referred. To be lady is more
than to be a princess. A lady is
always in her right alienably wor-
thy of respect. To a lady prince |
and peasant alike bow irresistibly. |
A lady should not cultivate im-
PULSES that need restraint. Young
lady readers, do not presume nor
desire to "dance with the prince un
sought" Be such in society, and |
more especially at home.as will make
you not only the dispenser OF hon
or, but an altar where gifts of frank
incense shall burn "both day and
night" in honor OF your own exalt-
ed personal worth Garry yourself
so womanly that men of high de-
gree will look up to you for APPROX
al and reward, and not at you in
rebuke. The natural sentiment of
man towards woman is respect and
large share of which
he loses when he is obliged to &C
count her a being to be trained or
into propriety. A mans
ideal of respect is not wounded
when a woman fails in worldly wis
dom; but if in grace, in sentiment,
in delicacy, in tenderness, in mod
esty, she should be found wanting,
then she from that moment becomes
an object unworthy of the good
mans respect and esteem.

Mrs. Senator Jones Diamonds.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, having
replenished his depleted exchequer
by fortunate rise in Sierra Neva-
da stocks, comes back with his
beautiful young wife and maiden
sister to occupy his halt of the But
Ter block on Capitol Hill. He left
here five months ago for his home
at Gold Hill. "dead broke" in vul-
gar parlance. or busted" as the
miners term it. Forseeing the rise
in mining stocks, he invested all he
could raise or borrow in Sierra
Nevada ana reaped a rich return.
Still he had not enough to fill the
measure of his opportunity. His
wife had splendid diamond neck
lace, for which he had paid in opu-
lent days the sum of $4,000, and
which she, being a retiring little
body not given to display, had new
er worn but once.
"My dear" said he to her one
day, eff you will let me invest your
diamonds in Sierra Nevada, you
shall have the proceeds for pin
money"
LAS you please said the dutiful
little woman. you know / never
wear them" Senator Jones is not
the man to go hawking his wite's
jewels about the streets, so he
offered them to the first Jew he
met and received $4,000 for them,
which he invested on margin in her
name, and to-day she Is worth
$4,000 in registered bonds. He
paid his debts, Cancelled the mort
gage on his $4,000 worth of fur
niture, which Ben Butler held as
collateral for three years rent, and

several millions to spare And
that Is the way they do things Tout

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS.
The Illusions ofochildhood.


Who ever wished to correct the
illusions of childhood? All of US
can look back to a time when we be
lieved wildly that our own parents
were perfect, and believed dimly
that The whole grown-up world was
perfect The child knows, indeed,
that there are bad people in the
world, but they have nothing to do
with the world in which he and his
companions dwell, and when he
thinks about them, be is puzzled
how to find room for them. We
have heard of a child so moderate
that he only produced two perfect
men besides his father to contute
the doctrine of original sin (women
evidently being not included in its
scope) J, but most of us would have
brought forward much larger
body of Witnesses, on his side.
Now, no one would say that you
gave child a truer view of mis- ia
Their and mother if you made him
understand that they were two very
faulty beings, with as much to re-
pent of as the naughtiest of his
playfellows. 1t is not that truth
had better be sacrificed to love; we
do sometimes feel that Of these IL
lusions in later life, aid any one
who will put the two states of mind
side by side will at once see their
difference. 1t is that the illusion
is actually truer feeling than any
you can substitute for it. 1t is the
natural, healthful condition of mind
of q child, the one which puts him
into his place with regard to bis ell
de.s, which enables them to do
their part toward him, and him to
do his toward them. 1t bears every
test of truth, except that of being
Independent of position 1t Is the
truth for a particular stage of de
velopment.-GT The Spectator.
