1t IS all in her walk. There is
nothing 80 difficult, nothing so rare
in man or woman, as a good walk,
and no girl can lay claim to style
without it. TrollOpc, who was
one OF the closest of observers, in
describing the grace Of one of his

IL tslerably accurate, only a girl
should rot stride. But no one
can have Il good walk who makes

THE TRUE GENTLEMAN.
Some of the Commcndable 0ualitie
Which Distinguish Him.


1t would be difficult TO point out q word
in the English language that is more fire.
quently misapplied than the appellation,
gentleman. In common parlance, ii is used
10 designate any man whose coat, hat,
boots and linen are in good condition, and
who is neither charitably cared for in an
almshouse nor forcibly detained in jail.
To tell the truth, there are some who hare
been in Jail, and a still greater number who
ought to be, who are daily spoken of by that
title.
A cunning sharper, without education,
principle or sense of gratitude, whose life
plan, formed in early youth, has been TO
hoodwnk, overreach and swindle all with
whom he has come in business contact and
who lives in splendor on the proceeds of
moral felonies so dexterously managed as
to have escaped the penalties of the law,
is, nevertheless, by modern conventional
ism, styled gentleman. We need not go
far to lay our fingers upon such gentlemen.
We rub shoulders with them on the side
walks, and sec hats touched to them as
they pass. They dash in elegant carriages
through our thoroughfares, driven by hon
ester men than themselves. Such individ-
uals, when they die full of years, and rich
In compound interest of iniquity, are ire
grettedn as "eminent citizens,n and the
most fulsome obituary puffs are offered to
their names.
But, after all, there Is class of society
that recognizes gentlemen in the abstract,
and despises the bogus ware that passes
current for the genuine article. Probity,
independence, unseliishness, tender regard
| for the feelings of others, and a hearty
| hatred for whatever HI mean, tricky, Vul-
! gar or profane-theso are among the quail
ties that distinguish the true gentleman

1t Made Him Nervous.

After the battle of Mobile Bay, when
the Southern fleet had been repulsed
and was tlking refuge up the shallow
streams; orders came to Admiral Jou-
EFT to pursue tho flying craft. 1t was
Il ticklish piece of business, for his ship
drew twelve feet of water, while the
little Southern rams drew very little.
But off he started.
Were going to ground. sure" con-
tended the Lieutenant
Never mind; keep her going!'
shouted back Jouett, as he sighted the
piece that was doing effective work
from the bow.
But the Lieutenant, to insure eau
ton, called tar and set him at work
heaving the lead, to learn the depth of
water
Fifteen feet" came from the tar
.'ith the lead.
That was all right, and the Lieuten-
ant was satisfied until
Fourteen feet"
That was more ominous cry.
"Thirtecn feet"
1t was getting dangerous. At twelve
feet the ship would ground. But
Jouett was oblivious TO this danger.
He was intent ON aiming the bow
chaser.
Twelve feet" came the warning
call from the lead.
Jouett Mt last awoke to the danger.
He turned quickly to the lieutenant,
commanding:
Call that man in with the lead. He
