THE TRUE GENTLEMAN.

What Is a Gentleman Is Il not one
Knowing instinetively what he should
shun,
Speaking no word that can iniure or pain.
Spreading no scandal and deepening nd
stain?
Ono who knows how to put each at his
ease,
Striving instinctively always to please2
One who can tell by glance at your cheek
When to be silent and when he should
speak?
What Is n gentleman Is IL not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Living uPrightly. fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod,
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 gentleman Say, is IL birth
Makes man noble or adds to his worth7
Is there IA family tree to be had
Spreading enough to conceal what is bad7
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
