What is a Gentleman ?
ma. - ! : tllI= =-x
Decked with scarf-pin, chain, and a


Decked with scarl-pin, \ chain, and a
ring,
Dressed in SUIT of immaculate style,
Sporting an cye-glas,, lisp, and smile
Talking of operas, concerts and balls
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls.
Summing himself at SAT Homes and bazars.
Whistling mazuvkas, aud smoking cigars ?
What is gentleman ? Say is it one
Boasting of coUquests and deeds he has
done ?
One who unblushing glories to speak of
Things which should call up flush to his
cheek?
One, who, whilst railing at actions unjust,
Robs some young heart Of its parcness and
trust;
Scoms to steal money, or jewels, or wealth,
Thinks it no crim1 to take honor by stcoltha
What is a gentleman Is it not one
Knowing instinctiveIy what he should shun,
Speaking no word that can riure or pain,
Spreading no scandal and deepning no
stain
Ohc VINO knows how to put each at his
ease,
Striving instinctive!y always to please;
One who can tell by glance at your chee k.
When to be silent, and when he should
speak ?
What is gentleman Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he was won,
Living in uprightness, fearing his God,
Lelving no stain ON the path he has trod,
Caring not whether his coat may be old,
Prlzing sincerity far above gold
Recking not whether his hand may be hard.
Stretching it boldly to grab its reward ?
What is gentleman? Say, is it birth
Make man noble. or adds to his worth? ?
Is that family tree to be had
Spreading enough to conceal what is bad
Seek out the man who has God for his
guide
Nothing to blush for and nothing to hide;
Be he noble, or be he in trade,
THIS is the gentleman Nature has made.

Chewing Gum.

A recent letter from Bangor. Me-, TO
the New York Sun says: This is great
gum year In Maine, especially on the
Penobscot, and now that the sun IS
climbing up into the North, and the
lumbermen are coming out, the air is
fairly redolent with the perfume of
spruce. The logs, knees, and bark are
not the only valuable parts Of the great
timber tree, for the gum is worth con
siderable, even In its rough state, inst as
it is hacked from the crotches of old
trees. There are two or three firms here
which buy large quantities Of it from the
lnmbermen and gum hunters for the pur-
pose Of refining it. as they say. But as
general thing the refining consists in
adulteration with rosin. They throw it
into a big kettle, bark and all,
and boil it to about the con-
sistency of thick moIasses, and
Swimming the impurities off as they rise
to the surface. Then, il the purpose be
to adulterate, some lard or grease and q
lot of resin is added, and in some cases
little sugar. The mixture then becomes
thicker, and, after more stirring, Is
poured out on q slab, where, while It is
yet hot, It Is rolled out in sheet about
. quarter Of an inch thick, and then
chopped with steel die into pieces half
an inch wide and three-quarters OF an
inch long. These pieces are wrapped in
tissue paper and packed in wooden
boxes. There are 900 pieces in box.
Some gum is treated in this way without
aduiterAtion.

lar locality. but always from the biggest

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Interest is the only chain that binds
selfish men together.
He that bestows gift should forget
1.-THE that receives one should ever
hold it in remembrance.
That which is striking or beautiful
is not always good; but that which is
good Is always beautiful.
Joining in the amusement of others
IS. in our social state, the next thing
70 sympathy in their distresses.
Many people prefer to keep silent
about what Is great and good in
mans character. and pick out the
Jaws to talk about

Der that of all we love and possess in
his life. we can take nothing with us
when we leave il.
We come across beautiful, characters
in the most obscure paths of life,
even as we IND the ioVeliest WOodianc
flowers in the loneliest places.
Those who have resources in them
selves, who can dare to live alone
want friends the least, but at the
same time best know how to prize
them the most.
Modesty, difldence, and proper hu-
nility are jewels in the cap of merit;
but downright bashfulness is terrible,
and is a distinct mark of ill-breeding.
or rather Of no breeding at Mi.
As benevolence is the most sociable
of all virtues. so it is of the largest
extent, for there is not any man. either
so great or so little, but he is yet capa-
bic of giving and receiving benefits.

A story Of Bisn,ark.

When Bismarck had been appointed
to the Legation at Frankfort, he was
present at public ball where a mem
Der of the French Corps Legislatif,
M. Juvois Gle Clancy, was pointed out
to him as u noted hre-eater. This
gentleman had been Republican, but
had turned his coat after the comp
d'etat. He was big man with dandi-
fled airs, but evidently not much
accustomed to society, for he had
brought his hat-not 4 compressible
one-into the ballroom, and in waltz
ing he held it in his left hand. The
sight of the big Frcnchman careering
round the room with his hat extended
at arms length. was too much for
Bismarck's sense of fun; so, as NJ
Juvois revolved past him, ne dropped
a copper coin into tho hat. The
Frenchman, turning purple, stopped
short in his dancing, led back his part
ner to her place, and then came With
flashing eyes to demand satisfaction.
There would have been assault and
battery on the spot If friends had not
interposed. but On the following day
the Frenchman and the Prussian met
with pistols, and the former was
wounded. - elgrGUi0.
