Gentlemen

Perhaps these are rarer .personages
than some of US think for Which of
us can point out many such in this
circle-men whose aims are generous,
whose truth is constant, and not only
constant in its kind but elevated in its
degree; whose want of meanness
makes them simple; who can look the
world honestly in the face with an
equal manly sympathy for the great
and the small? We all know a hun
dred whose coats are very well made.
and a score who have excellent man
ners, and one or two happy beings who
are in what they call the inner cir
cles, and have shot into the very cen
ter and bull's-eye of the fashion; but
Of gentlemen how many? Let us take
a little scrap Of paper and each make
out his t.-Thackeray

"LitfLe Bird Told Me-

In early days superstitious people
paid considerable attention to the birds
and their different cries. which were be-
lieved to foretell events. Thus comes
the old saying. "A little bird told me"
says the London Daily Mail
Traces Of this belief are TO be found
in our own Old Testament, where verse
20 of chapter 10 of Ecclesiastes speaks
of for a bird of the air shall carry
the voice, and that which hath wings
shall tell the matter" 1t is generally
agreed that it is from this belief in the
universal knowledge Of birds-which,
Of course, are supposed to see every
thing from the slly-that we get this
saying.
