All the fine clothes that tailor goose
ever pressed cannot make gentleman;

in his cravat or how elegant the cut of
his garments or The materials from which
they are made. A bootmaker, halter
and tailor got together one day aud
resolved to make agentlemau of man
If it could be done BY fine clothes. The
bootmakec said: 81 will make geltle-
man boots, and the halter said: Il
Twill make him fine hat and the
tailor: 81 will make him a fashionable
suit" They did it, and their gentle
man went out. Before night he did

make gentleman. God only can make

I Here is the history of a woman work
! during the late civil war of ours. Her

came out from an humble home with a
blskelful of little delicacies on her arm.
She had boy in the army that was
missing after one OF the battles. She
wanted to edo something for Others. be-
cause she colldn't DO anything for him.
She wentin into the hospital, strairhtened
I the bed-clOthcs, wrote letters, and
when she fonnd poor fellow shot

aud offered ulJ the silent PRAYER: God

Now, compare such Christian lady
in the hospital with a woman l saw in n
street car In Philadelphia. A poor ragged
soldier came in and sat near her She
got up. with Il show of indignation and
took seat opposite and said: '.What a
dirty fellowr' and said to myself there
was probably more nobility in the mean

woman. Two rough BOYS were riding

"a lady and tore her dress.F They cx-
pected perfect volley of abuse, but the
ladyzsaid: Boys, boys, you have torn
my dress very much; but l see you didn't
mean to. Coon with your fun One
boy said TO the other: MY eyes, Bill,
isn't she a beauty2r She was a lady.
