THE FARM AND HOME
A GENTLEM AN.
i knew him for a gentleman

i knew him for a gentleman
By signs that never fail;
His coat was rough and rather worn,
His cheeks were thin and pale
A lad who had his way to make,
With little time for play
/ knew him for a gentleman
By certain signs today.
He met his mother on the street;
Off came his little cap.
My door was shut; / waited there
Until l heard his rap.
He took the bundle from my hand,
And when dropped my pen,
He sprang to pick it up for me,
This gentlman of ten.
He does not push and crowd along,
His voice is gently pitched;
he does not fling his books about
AS if he were bewitched.
He stands aside to let you pass,
He always shuts the door,
He runs on eTrands willingly
To forge and mill and store
de thinks of you before himself,
He serves you if he can,
For in whatever company
The manners make the man.
At ten or forty it's the same,
The manner tells the tale,
And / discern the gentleman
BY signs that never fail

Glover is difficult to kill by drought
after it is once well rooted, as it pene-
trates deeply and draws upon unseen
reserves of moisture. 1t may appear to

love, intended for me by fate and
awaiting my coming, was Eliza De
We're, Vevay, Environne, Switzerland.
l seized my pen and wrote to her a
short, imprisoned letter; say impas-
stoned, because passion burned between

Platonic construction could have been
put upon it if it had proved that Ella
had forgotten me.
Reason sometimes whispered to me
that it was improbable she should have
remembered a stranger and the, to
her, perhaps trivial incident.
But a spell was over me and it grew
upon me- I could not sleep except at
irregular intervals. L took long drives
or rambles at night in parks or on
drear and lonely highways. Often the
morning moon glistened on my oar
upon the silent, ripping river before
the steam whistles had awaked, and
while the ghosts Of greed and traffic
still lowered over the s1llen docks.
Something whispered TO me: something
haunted my heart: and I was sure it
was the waiting. suffering love Of Eliza
De We're.
I counted the days and estimated the
very hour she would receive my letter.
How l wished she would cable me a
message. I believed she would; could
feel with an intensity amounting al
most to a sensation that she would
cable me. I left orders at my hotel
that I should be Immediately notified

thing seemed impending; something

mysterious dread I did not then know
why.

CONSISTENCY.

Our valued contemporaries, the
HoIomua and Bulletin, together
with an anonymous correspondent
or two, are endeayoring to make
themselves merry over the ADvER-
Users supposed inconsistency.
THIS IS a political variation on the
theme Of John 3, 3-11. We give
chapter and verse so that these oil /
chums of Wilcox, who fell out with
him in the way two years ago and
betrayed him-they were very
careful not to quarrel until after
election-may consult the book
themselves and be edited, perhaps
converted, if that Is not too much
to hope of sinners of such long
standing.
As to the supposed inconsistency,
if to have the same end constantly
in view is to be consistent, this
paper need not fear comparison
with any of It's rivals. As to the
small consistency which never ad-
mits itself to be wrong, which al
ways maintains papaI infallibiIity
in every opinion on the most trivial
matter, this consistency, the
virtue of little minds, we cheer
fully renouncc for ourselves, and
as cheerfully concede to our all
wise critics the National Reform
leaders and their organ, who have
consistently had one foot in each
camp for two years.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN

Mr.. NEUMANN in a speech last
night freely INDUCES in bad Ian
guage and betrays a particular
fondness for the little word 'LTE,"
which he applies to this paper with
an extravagant generosity. We
would reply, as the grave-digger
did to Hamlet, "It's a quick lie sir,
and will away again from me to
you," were we not disposed to
make allowance for the excitement
under which this Hamlet seems to
be IaborIng. One is at a loss to
understand Mr.. Neumann's agi-
tated state of mind. Perhaps it
comes Of the case which he lost
against the ADVERTISER yesterday.
Such things are indeed vexatious.
The statement denounced as a lie
was never published in this paper.
Our esteemed correspondent and
orator must have got hold of some
old San Francisco files. No doubt
they do contain some very dis
agreeable reading.

misfortune that he was not placed

Probably Boss Bowler did not

The withdrawal of Mr.. Emme-
luth, it is to be hoped, will be fol-
lowed by that of Mr.. Kaaukai-
who at the proper time and place
would also be an acceptable candi-

clear for Mr.. Waterhouse to run
against Mr.. Neumann. In this race
We shall cordially support Mr..

FOREIGN.

The difficulty between Chile and
the United States is still very far
from settled. Accounts both from
Santiago and from Washington are
contradictory, and vary almost
every day. One thing is certain,
and that is that the United States
is fitting out and will soon have
ready for sea force far exceeding
in power anything that Chile could
bring against it.
Dispatches from Valparaiso of
January 18th, say: "There has
been a decided improvement in the
situation within twenty four hours.
There is now no war talk in Val
paraiso among those whose opin-
ions have weight with the Govern
ment. Minister Montt has cabled
from Washington that he has as
surances of an early settlement of
the questions arising from tho as
ssult on the Baltimore's sailors"
A despatch from Washington of
the same date, says: at is now
evident to the most skeptical that
the country is upon the verge Of q
war"
The enquiry being conducted at
Vallejo was completed late on the
afternoon Of the 18th inst. 1t has
lasted six days and every aspect OF
the affair has been fully investiga-
ted. 1t will take a day or two
more to reduce all the testimony
to writing and have it duly signed.
Throughout the progress of the
trial, the evidence taken each day
has been forwarded to Washington
on the following day. Judge Remy
has not received any orders to pro
ceed at once Ito Washington.
Washington, Jan. 16.-An officia
of prominence says President
Harrison's message to Congress:

to declare war against the little

sentative state paper, which will
review all the points in dispute
between the two countries.

little weak on the STALLS and

the foreigner Now he has made
little mistake about the indica-

the dds and woULDs. The ADvER-
TsER did not say that the National

Neumann," but merely that such
an offer would have been accepted
if, etc. We cannot therefore with
the most amiable intentions in the

never made.
