County Democratic Convention, says
the faith and patience Of the Essex
County Democrats cannot fail to
challenge admiration. At the con-
vention he expected to find them dis
heartened, but discovered them full
of fight and enthusiasm. lie now
believes defeat never dampens their
ardor, or darkens the glowing sun
light which fills each cheerful heart
that after each repulse they rally
with removed vigor, and march on &c
another with courage that ear
never be subdued. Ed. is the righ
kind Of man to encourage the faith
full, and inspire an abiding confidence
among the new recruits.

A Brighter View.

To the Editor of THE MIRROR.
In reviewing your last three or four issues
| find contained therein advice as to what
man shall not do upon his release from this
institution. After thoroughly digesting
said advice / find thereupOn the future out
look to be most gloomy, and the result fully
contemplated to give one a fit of the blues.
the writer's about the only thing left for
him to do on regaining his freedom would
be to commit suicide or else fly to some un-
known regions where society and grand
juries do not abound and where he can pass
the rest of this weary life in peace and
quietness.
Now, it appears to me that if some kind
lady or gentleman would get upon the plat
form and give us some encouragement as to
what we CAN do. that their advice would
be received with more grateful spirit. and
moreover it would be much more to the
point.
If, when man leaves here and goes out
into the world he prOclaims himself an
ex-cOnvct and grOvels and grOans in the
dust for sympathy, he must not expect TO
get it. and he does not deserve it for being
an unmitigated ass. The idea of detectives
and policemen bounding man down when
he is looking after honest employment is
utter bOsh and nonsense and wholly un-
American. 1t is the duty of these officers
of the law to protect society and if a man is
determined to be crooked. why he must
take the consequences, and there is an end
to that matter.
A writer in THE MIRROR not long ago
stated that 1--WE are all bad" What a
sweeping assertion! Is the author of this
statement not aware that in the course of
all human probability there are men con-

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN?

What is a gentleman? Is it thing
Decked with scarfpin, chain and ring.
Dressed in a suit of Immaculate style,
Sporting an eye-glass. lisp and a smile:
Talking of races and concerts and balls,
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls,
Summing himself at lat home' and bazars,
Whistling mazurkas and smoking cigars?
What is gentleman? Say. is it one
Boosting of conquests and deeds he has done?
One who unblushinsly glories to speak
Things which should call up flush to his cheek
One who. while railing at actions unjust.
Robs some young heart of its pureness and trust
scorns to steal money, or jewels, or wealth.
Thinks it no wrong to take honor by stealth?
What is gentleman? Is it not one
Knowing instinctively what he should shun,
Speaking no word that could injure pain,
Spreading no scandal and deep'ning stain?
One who knows how to put each at his ease,
Striving successfully always to please
One who can tell by glance at your cheek
When to be silent and when he should speak?
What is gentleman? Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Walking in uprightness, fearing his God.
Leaving no stain on the path he has tred;
Caring not whether his coat may be old;
Prizing sincerity far above gold?
Recking not whether his hand may be hard
Stretching it boldly to grasp its reward?
What is a gentleman? Say, is it birth
Makes a man noble or adds to his worth?
Is there family tree to be had
Shady enough 10 conceal what is bad?
Seek out the man who has God for his guide,
Nothing to tremble at. nothing to hide.
Be he noble or be he in trade,
He is gentleman Nature has made.
