right thing to each guest and win
golden opinions from each of
them. They never touch chord
that will produce discord. They
never say anything to ruffle, en-
barrass or pain.
1t is just the reverse with
tactless women. They blurt out
the wrong things and no sooner
discover it than they begin to
founder in their efforts to smooth
1t over.
Parents and teachers should
strive to teach tact and illustrate
its advantages.
What constitutes a gentleman
is veryimuch in need of detini-
ton.
1t is easier to define gentleman
by pointing out the acts Of which
gentleman will never be guilty
than to give a catalogue of the
traits and qualities which he
ought to possess.
A gentleman will not lie, cheat,
betray confidence, act with insin-
certify, or perfidy, deal in calumny
or gossip, enact the part OF a bully
or violate a promise. Honesty, US
tice, fair dealings, sincerity and
trutbfulness are indispensable in
gradients in the make up of the
gentleman, and no one who is
destitute Of these traits is or can
be regarded as gentleman.
Riches do not and cannot make
a man a gentleman. Fine clothes,
jewelry and pompous parade do
not make man a gentleman.
A snob is pretentious, affected,
and pompous, whereas a gentle
man is exactly the reverse.
There are men who lie, and cheat
at cards and in trade and sland-
er their associates behind their
backs, who pass for gentlemen,
because they are rich or are DULLES.
A gentleman is never guilty of
a mean, dishonest, cowardly,
treacherous, or fraudulent act.
Conduct is the crucial test OF
who is a gentleman and who is
not.
The term lady is as much mis-
understood and misapplied as is
that Of gentleman. This abuse Of
the terms gentleman and lady is
productive of great injury to So
ciety.
Young people by this very abuse
and misapplication, have before
them no proper models of ladies
and gentlemen for imitation and
emulation. 1t is a rule without
an exception, that gentleman, or
a lady are never rude and i'll man.

poor and badly dressed he or she
may be. Remember this rule.

Written for the LIGHT.
Lord Byron insisted that tact
was a virtue and ought to be in
cluded in the number of the vir-
lures, and it is certainly very near
a kin to virtue.
There are men and women brim-
full Of tact, while the majority Of
mankind are as destitute of it as
hog is Of musicalness, or an
elephant is of gracefulness.
A person imbued with tact is
never guilty Of a contretemps in
conversation and business. Nor
do they tread on peoples corns,
or hurt their feeling in society by
malaprop remarks.
A person devoid of tact is con-
tinually hurting out remarks,
which touch his hearers on a sore
spot and embarrass the entire COM
pany, In trying to remedy the
blunder they have made, they
make matters worse and over
whelm themselves with confus-
ion and shame.
A lawyer of tact has much more
influence with juries and courts
and pumps everything out of a
witness, however costive he may
be. He never shocks the prediu-
dices, or arouses the antagoni.

A tactless lawyer rubs wit.
nesses, juries, and courts the wrong
way and causes them to erect their
bristles and to assume an attitude
Of self defense, if not of positive
antagonisim. OF course, he pos,

Doctors of all men should pos
sess tact. They need it every mo
ment. A doctor needs to make
friend OF his patient and to wir
his confidence and respect at hit
first visit. Sick people are apt tx
he potulant, difficult to plc ase
and quick to form impressions.
A doctor, blessed with tact
never rubs a patient the wronI
way, but slides insensibly int,
his confidence and makes a frient
Of him before the patient himsel
is aware OF it. This is a grea
point gained. Faith in a docto
ensures the due effect Of the RENE
dy.
On the other, hand, a tactics
doctor arouses the predjudice

the field after the invasion in 1855
and the first to resume work after
the treaty of1756.- His courage and
faithfulness as a Gospel minister and
intimate acquaintance with the hos-
tile people and country, being we'll
known by the government, he was
engaged in their service with the
hope that his influence would bring
about a reconciliation among those
disaffected by the treaty made with
Teedyuscung and with the further
hope that he would be able to recover
captives. To accomplish this he
felt that he was in the line of duty
and undertook the most hazardous
journeys both to the Ohio and the
Lake country. His published jour.
nal. found in the Colonial Records
gives in detail the accounts of several
expeditions conducted by him in
restoring captives in 1853. His
labors were second to none in i'm
portance in paving the way for the
few years of prosperity enjoyed by
the Delawares on the Susquehanna
prior to their removal to the Ohio.
His labors as minister of the gospel
were continued until 1867 when he
left as missionary for Jamaca.

The following is published by re-

who in his official capacity is called
to all sections of our county:
"Our people have all heard of the
Credit Mobilier' and the Salary
Grab, but they have not heard OF
the yearly grab the Supervisors in
every township in the county are
making. We call it grab because
We see no improvement in the roads
for the past twenty years. It is
about time some change was made
in the management of our highways.
During the past two weeks we have
travelled over a large portion Of the
county and failed to see any i'm
provements. Lose stone and rocks
are in the middle of the road, thus
obstructing the water>courses; there
is not rod OF road that is ditched
on either side; there are no water-
breaks on the hill roads; the low>land
is almost q perfect mud.hole. Come,
gentlemen, you that were 30 keen for
the office of Supervisor, wake up,
use some judgement, or resign and
tell the people you are unfit for the
office. Build two miles Of good
road with the money you do the
scratching on ten with and in time
the county will have something to
show for taxes thus expended,
There is the best of material in this
county for building roads and no ex.
cuse can be offered for their present
condition."
