WHAT is A GENTLEMAN

What is gentlemang Is it a thing
Decked with scarf.pn, q chain, and ring
Dressed in suit of immaculate style,
Sporting an eye glass, a lisp, and smile2
Talking of operas, concerts and balls,
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls,
Summing himself at "At Homes" and bazars
Whistling muzurkas, and smoking cigars
What is gentemang Say, ia it one
Boosting ofconquests and deeds he has done
One who unblushingly glories to speak
Things which should call up flush to his
Cheek9
One, who, whilst railing at actions unjust,
Robs some young heart of its pureness and
trust,
Scorns to steal money, or jewels, or wealth,
Thinks 1t no crime to take honor by stealth ?
What is gentlemanp Is 1t not one
Knowing instinctively what he should shun,
Speaking no word that can injure or pain,
Spreading no scandal and deepning no
stain?
One who knows how to put each at his ease,
Striving instinctively always to please;
One who can tell by glance at your check,
When to be silent, and when he should
speakg
What is gentlemanp Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Living in uprightness, fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod
Caring not whether his coat may be old,
Pricing sincerity far above gold,
Rocking not whether his hand may be hard
Stretching it boldly to grasp its rewardY
What is gentleman Say, is it birth
Makes man noble, adds to his WORTH
Is there 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.

A Curious Marriage.

Within the past three years curious
romance has been unfolding itself in a
corner of the little village Of Tarrytown.
In one of its aspects ii has given rise to
to legal questions which the heroine is
now most DESTROYS Of having settled.
The said heroine was born to humble
station, but was found Of reading. BY
the time she was eighteen years Of age
sho had read much, She was tall and
slender, and attractive by reason of her
intelligence. Withal, she was ignorant
of society and its ways, except as the
latter purported to be taught in tho
light literature of which she had i'm
bibed deeply Of the realities Of life
she know little. Into 1arrytown came
dashing young Clergyman Of peculiar
type, who had carried firearms and had
shot at fellow student while at college
in Virginia. Hesbccanle interested 10
the girl, whom Ne aattercd by bis visits
and attentions, and TO whom he read bis
sermons for criticism and the .poems Of
their choice" for mutual delectation. His
visits grew more and more frequent.
Ono evening he asked her to marry him.
Regarding this as joke, tho girl said,
yes. Afterwards he referred TO this as
u binding promise. His next step was
to repeat to her portion of the marriage
service of tho Episcopal Church, getting
her to make the responses, telling her
that ii was merely u form Of engage
ment. Then he told her that they we're
married hard aud fast.
All this time tho Clergyman had been
trying to get the girl to go to pic. MICS
and places Of amusement with him, but
in vain. She had never met him except
in her fathers house. Now he told her
that they were married, but as bis church
did not wish a married pastor, they must
keep it secret until he was in position
to acknowledge her. They could, how
ever, spend their vacations together.
Tho girl steadily refused to believe in
tho legality Of the marriage. Then the
clergyman filled out one OF his marriage
certificate blanks, signed it himself and
got a firm Of New York lawyers to GER
tify to the correctness Of the document
and the legality Of the marriage. BY
alternately threatening to kill himself
and her, he tried TO make the girl sign
it also. She would not, however. One
day in fit of anger he destroyed il be-
fore her eyes. Then he filed out an
other and got brother clergyman to
sign it, or else forged the name, and had
still another law firm put the imprint Of
their approval upon its legality. He
was again unsuccessful in making her
sign this one, and it, too, was finally
destroyed. After failing In these re-
peated attempts to make the girl ac-
knowledge the marriage, the clergyman
gave up the contest and left the town.
During the two years which have passed
since, the girl has pondered the ques-
ton, married or single n until she is
well-nigh distracted. Legal experts con-
suited by her fatty contradict one an
other as to the law bearing on the point,
and she hesitates to appeal to the courts
as she shrinks from publicity IN. Y.
