The Modern Young Enyiishman.

London Standard.
Perhaps it may be said that, on the
whole, our young men to-day are not
much better than they have been at any
past time. Unquestionably they have
their faults, their affectations. But in
some respects they do indicate a material
improvement upon their predecessors.
II they are often as deficient in ideas and
In generally intellectual tastes, they pay
much more attention to the refinements
and amenities. of life. They do not
parade coarseress or grossness in their
manner or in their conversation, as
formerly it was esteemed the mark of an
esprit fort to do. They have, in word,
far less than suspicion of what has been
called British brutality about them
They conduct themselves uniformly
more like gentlemen and less like
grooms. Nor can it be said that this
grave bearing and speech has been pur-
chased at any sacrifice of manliness.
The young Englishman of to-day proves
himself, whenever opportunity occurs,
true to the best traditions of English
courage and endurance.
