may draw this inference: That n
who does not practice good-breeding
will not find himself considered as th'
object of good-breeding by others; Il
will, therefore, be no improper con
clusion of this artice to give you thu
character of q complete gentleman
an appellation which ought never tt
be affixed to any mans circumstance!
but to his behavior in them.
BY fine gentleman is meant ONT
that is completely qualified for th'
good and service as well as the
ornament and delight Of society. Al
to his mind, we must suppose Il
graced with all the dignity and ele'
vation of spirit that human naturt
is capable Of; to this we must add
a clear understanding, a reason un
prejudiced, steady judgment and al
extensive knowledge. AS to his heart
it must be firm and intrepid, fret
from all meanness and every inordi'
nate desire, but full Of tenderness
compassion and benevolence; as te
his manners, he must be modes
without bashfulness; frank and affa'
BILE without impertinence; complais.
ant and obliging without servihty
cheerful and good-humored without
noise. In a word, fine gentleman
is properly a compound Of the various
good qualities that embellish man.

To give an example perfectly worthy
Of imitation in every respect must
relate the following anecdote:
Lord Carteret, in his heutenancJ
(of Ireland), being very fond Of Dr.
Delany, who was indeed worthy OF
universal esteem, came one day quite
unattended, and told the doctor he
had come to dine with him. He
thanked his excellency for the honor
he conferred on him, and invited him
to walk In his beautiful gardens
which his excellency did with great
good -humor. They took turn OF
two, when the servant came to inform
them that dinner was upon the table
The doctor had generally something
suitable to the season for himself and
his mother, to whom he behaved with
true filial tenderness and respect.
The doctor made the old lady do the
honors Of his table; for which, or fol-
the entertainment, he never made the
least apology, but told his lordship
that,
"To stomachs cloy'd with costly fare,
Simplicity alone Is rare"
This demeanor Of his was infinitely
agreeable to Lord Carteret, who,
though courtier, hated ceremony
when he sought pleasure. which is in
deed inconsistent with it. His ex-
cellency, after the cloth was taken
away and the bottle introduced
(when. consequently, the lady depart
ed) told the doctor that he always
believed him to be q well-bred man,
but never had so clear q demonstra-
ton Of it, as he had this day seem
"Others," said he, whom I have
tried the same experiment on, have
met me in as much confusion as II
came to arrest them for high treason;
nay, they would not give me moment
of their conversation, which and not
their dinner. I sought, but hurry
from me and then, IL had any ap-
petite, deprive me OF 1t by their
fulsome apologies for defects, and by
their unnecessary profusion. Mem

Edwards Ills eldest son was also
named Edward. He was Prince OF
Wales, and because he wore black
armour, he was called Edward the
Black Prince" At the battle OF
Crecy he was only fifteen or sixteen
years old, and his courage helped
much to win that battle.
Many years afterward his father
gave him the command Of q small
army, and with 1t, instead Of attack
ing the French in the neighborhooo
of Calais, he went to the south OF
France, and did all the harm ne
could wherever he went. The king o,
France collected large army and

Poictiers, which you will find In the
middle of France. The prince defeat
ed the French, and took the kine
prisoner. ...
At night after the battle, the prince
had a supper prepared in his tent fol
the French king. and refused to si'
down beside him, but waited behind
his chair, saying that it was his duty
to stand before the king and not te
forget the respect he owed him. al

in those times, kings and princes anc
knights thought it not wrong to burr
and destroy each others Kingdoms
and ruin or kill the people, but the!

all outward reverence to the brave
and noble, especially If they were un'
