r True manliness. made mn If a

| u True manliness, made up of a
perfect courtesy, valor infexible and
honor that cannot be assailed, is not
often found nowadays; probably,
could we know the whole truth, it
was scarcely more coinmonin knight
~ times. But in the age of chivalry
there was at least, a magnificent
standard of manhood established
and upheld by public opinion and
in proportion as the life of each man
drew nearer to departed from this
standard was he honored and es-
teemed or dishonored or abhorred.
SO strong was this feeling that even
those who least shared in it and
whose lives most contradict it were
forced to respect it and to pay hon.
age to the manhood that it declared
to be ideal. Tn our time, it is true.
the standard remains, but public
opinion upholds it only formally
The grand old knightly attributes
are admitted to be fine things in
their way; but the world thinks
none the less kindly of the men who
In their lives openly deny them all
provided they be what the world is
pleased to term "successful' men
and even, when their success is
great, goes out of its way to bestow
upon them its favor. And, worse
than this, SO far is the knightly life
from being reverenced in this living
and cheating age that the few brave
spirits, here and there, who do try
to live up to its splendid teachings
are much less likely to be honored
than to be laughed at. Altogether,
it is plain enough that the world can
learn noble lesson from its own
past; and so a warm welcome should
be given to the sentiments of Sidney
Lanier, in which are set forth the
knightly actions of five centuries
ago. In bis own words: "The
same qualities which made manful
fighter then make one now. To
speak the very truth. to perform a
promise to the uttermost, to rever-
ence all women; to maintain right
and honesty; to help the weak to
treat high and low with courtesy; to
be constant to one love; to be fair
to bitter foe; to despise luxury; to
preserve simplicity, modesty and
gentleness in heart and bearing:
this was in the oath of the young
knight who took the stroke upon
him in the fourteenth century, and
this is still the way to win love and
glory in the nineteenth
