CHAPTER Xxx.
THE COLONIAL GENTLEMAN.

The question how far the society Of the Virginia
Colony affected by the OF large poor and
serving class has been passed in previous chapters
the conclusion being that apprecabe extent any
impression made by this class OF people, Many Of these, to
be sure places of usefulness and responsibility, but
only Of them achieved social political distinction
sort OF man as he the Hudson in New England.
Mr. Thayer his Recollections Of Old Plantation Life
describing the visitors to his fathers home says:
Among them were jolly old Virginia gentlemen, eccentric
old Virginia gentlemen, panmannered old Virginia gentle
men, charming old Virginia gentlemen and undressing old
Virginia gentlemen many OF them graduates OF William and
Mary College
It is to be observed that, however differently endowed
these visitors were, of them seemed entitled to the

There be doubt but that there such class
OF men in the colony who entitled to the of gen

that they Of royal lineage that they always carried
themselves appreciation OF the fact that they gentle
men, but it that there the heterogeneous
society colony of such ancestry influence and
culture separated them from other classes and to whom
was accorded the of gentlemen Why there should be
any disposition offer any contention about this fact
hard to understand There does not seem to be desire
on the part Of any claim any for the Virginia
gentleman than for other gentlemen OF other colonies or o.
other days. There is however be discovered i'll certain

gna gentleman is entitled to all that has been claimed
for him. The truth that quarters the Virginia gen
colonial conditions there could have existed such persons

explanation The fact remains however that there was in,

Little Francis Abbott

Little Francis Abbott died Sunday
at the Abbott home from tetanus. The
precious little girl who had gladdened
the hearts Of parents and friends dur
ing her short life, met the Grim Reap
er with fortitude and patience that
no amount OF suffering could break
down. She was a beautiful child,
loved by all who knew her, and every
body rnourns with the sorrowing par
en's and relatives over their sudden
and terrible bereavement. Last Sun
day, a week ago little Francis with
several other small friends were rid
ing her pony and while frolicing she
fell breaking her forearm and dislocat-
ing her elbow, and though every care
and medical attention was given her
the terrible germ tetanus set in re-
sAlting in her death.
Thank God for the laugh of a little
child,
That echoes along the day,
And breaks the dark Of the toiler' s
life
With the dawn of its golden ray!
1t softens the road Of the roughened
Fave
To lane Of the smoothest gold;
1t touches the buds of faded hope
Till they loosen and unfold;
1t foods the world with the light of a
song.

FOR HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Good Manners Go Far to Preserve
Peace and Concord.

A great many people seem to think
that the marriage ceremony absolyes
them from all further courtesies and
attentions to the person whom they
have wed. After that they are always
in negligee, both as to manners and
clothes, when they are at home This
is a fatal mistake. Because woman
is married is no excuse for her going
untidily about the house, and telling
her husband home truths that hurt his
vanity Because a woman is his wife
gives a man no right to say thlgs to
her he would not dare to say TO aay
other lady who possessed big, able
bodied brother. Good manners are the
preservation Of peace and concord,
and are warranted to keep HAPPINESS
in any climate. The problem of how
to be happy though married is really
no problem at all, No mystery should
ever have been made of it. 1t is mere
ly fair dealing in fair partnership
giving the other party the privileges
and perquisites you assume for your
self, and allowing the person you love
as much consideration and civility as
you would show stranger.-New
York Weekly.
