To hear Mr.. Price expati3te on the blessings

What is a Gentleman?

It is almost definition of q gentle
man to say he is one who never inAicts
pain. This description is both refined
and, as far as it goes, accurate. He is
mainly occupied in merely removing
the obstacles which hinder the free and
unembarrassed action of those about
him; and he concurs with their move.
ments rather than takes the initiative
himself. His benefits may be consil-
cred as parallel to what are called com
forts or cOnveniences in ARRANGEMENTS
of q personal nature; like an easy chair
or good fire, which do their part in
dispelling cold or fatigue, though ma.
ture provides means of rest and animal
heat without them. The true gentle
man in like manner carefully avoids
whatever may cause jar or jolt in the
minds of those with whom he is cast
all clashing of opinion, or collision of
feeling, all restraint. or suspicion, or
gloom, or resentment; his great con.
Germ being to make every one at their
ease and at home. He has his eyes on
all his company; he is tender toward
the bashful, gentle toward the distant,

inent in conversation, and never weari.
some. He makes light Of favors while
he does them, and seems to be receiv-

Cosmetics.

The term cosmetic refers to every
kind of personal adornment, with the
exception Of dress. It is derived from
Greek word that signifies - beauti.
fy;" it has a rather vile Specification
compromising not only carmine, pearl
white, etc, but pomatums, depilato-
ries and many other substances.
The practice of using cosmetics is of
very ancient date. 1t is mentioned in
several parts of Holy Writ, and a notion
OF the prevalence of these substances
amongst the classic people of antiquity
may be learned from the writings of
Ovid, Martial and Juvenal.
Perfumes are closely allied with Co.'S
metics; their object is the improve
ment of personal appearance, AS we'll
as the diffusion of an agreeable odor.
Although the consumption of per-
fumery at the present day is enormous,
the luxurious Greeks aud Romans, at q
certain epoch of their history, far sur
passed the modern in this respect.
Alcohol was thing unknown to them;
their perfumes were for the NEST part
confined to such as had an oily basis.
Their value as curative agents was very
great; an appropriate perfume was
given to each particular organ. Palm
oil was considered good for the cheeks
and breasts; balsam mint for the arms,
and wild thyme for the knees and neck.
The oder of violets was held in great
esteem by the Athenians. Myrrh was
a favorite both with Greeks and Ro-
mans; besides being a constituent of
perfumed ointmerts, it was used in
fumigation.
The vegetable extracts are infinitely
superior to the mineral ones; but the
best cosmetics are soap and water, ex-
ercise, air and temperance. With re-
spect to red paints used for the skin :
the vegetable reds alone are safe-such
as those made from cochipeal, Brazil.
wood, etc. These are dyeing sub
stances, and are harmless; but the min
eral reds, such as vermillion, red lead
and minium, are poisonous, and under
no circumstances shoul4 be admitted
to the toilet.
Pearl white is preparation of bis
muth; it is very pernicious to the skin,
and if exposed to the fumes of sulphur,
will turn black.
The pomatum OF the present day con-
sists of perfumed grease, ox-marrow
and ether fats. Strictly speaking, the
word pomatum, as applied to these
preparations, is misused. The original
composition was called pomatum from
its containing apple. Gerarde says,
there is made an ointment with the
pulp of apples and swine's grease and
rose water, which is used to beautify
the face and take away the roughness
OF the skin, which is called in shops
pomatums, of the apples whereof it is
made" Pomatums of the present day
do not contain a particle Of apple.

Edgar A. Poe.

Poe would have been remarked upon
the street. He was Ct slighter form
than Willis, less mindful of mis- dress,
pale. and with singularly dark and
commanding eye. In q room, without
his hat. his high white forehead and
intellectual aspect at once distinguished
him. His domestic life was believed to
be very unhappy. 1t was known that
he was poor and lived by his pen, and
it was understood that he was the vic
tim of strong drink. He died sadly at
Baltimore, and DR." Griswold pub
lished memoir of him which his
friends and admirers believe to be the
source Of the false impression of the
man, SO that he is described as "a dis
solute fantastic writer, who died at
Baltimore in consequence of fits of
intoxication."
Poe was as bitter in commenting
upon his contemporaries as Willis was
friendly. He detied censure, and ex-
pressed scorn of the public, to which,
with the instinct of genius, he yet
appealed. He went to Boston to read
poem. There was large audience
and great expectation. Poe read some
verses written when he was boy.
Boston said he was drunk. Poe re-
torted that the poem was good enough
for Frogpondians. The fact apparently
was that he intended to write poem
for the occasion, but was prevented by
stress of occupation. In the brief
preface to the slight volume of his
verse, 1.-The Raven, and Other Poems, :"
published in Wiley and Putnam s " LII
brary of Choice Reading" in 1915, Poe
says, disdainfully, with me poetry
has been, not a purpose, but passion;
and the passions should be held in
reverence: they must not-they can
not-at will be excited with an eye to
the paltry compensations or the more
pallry commentators of mankind"
This seems to be merely the usual BY
ronic strain. But it is childish to write
for those at whose Judgment you sneer.
1t a man writes for the love of writing,
he prints because he wishes other poo-
pie to read what he writes. A man
who withdraws as hermit to the Cen
trail Park may scott at mankind, but he
is plainly not enamored of solitude.
Yet this sheer Of Poe's in the light of
the truth now told of his life, was not
disdaip, but unhappiness.
The memoir of Griswold really
seems to be what Mimic calls it, :" a
malignant myth" and Mr.. Ingram, who
had already edited an English edition
of Poe's works, has patiently and con.
clusively disposed of many of the
SANDERS which have pursued the name
Of the poet. OF many facts in his life
the true explanation is very different
from the usual version. But it is the
greatest service to Poe's memory to
show that his dissipation was not the
cause of bis misfortunes, but that
peculiarly trying misfortunes produced
his dissipation. This is what Mr.. In
gram has done for an American poet
whose verse is more Justly weighed now
than when he was living, and which is
not found wanting. --EDIroR's EASY
CHAIR, in Harper's.

A TOUCHING REQUEsT.-We often
hear illusions to the Indians tenacious
memory of q wrong or favor, but sci.
dom to their memory of a personal
sorrow. Examples of the last are the
Ute chief Ouray and his wife. Gen
Fiske of the United States Army says:
They appealed to the Board Of Com
'missioners to help them recover their
eAly child, who WAS stolen by the
Arapahoes twenty years ago. The boy
was only four years old at the time,
but the parents have not got over their
grief at his loss. and think they should
recognize him now if he could be found.
When ae last saw Ouray in Washing
ton, the chief took up q child and
said,-
g. If this child should be stolen from
you, you would use the whole army of
the United States to recover it. Can't
yon help me get hack my boy
Ouray (says Gen. Fiske) is "an
ADLER man than many members of Con-
gress.
