w General v Topics. “When Adam delved and Eve span, where was the gentleman?’’ Perhaps the “thing” hadn’t then been invented, as it is evidently a product of civilization. We heard a maid say the other day, “there’s a gentleman at the back door to carry away the garbage.” And you all remember the story of the dame who said, when trying to separate two quarreling women, "whisht, whisht, ledies must aye be ledies. drunk or sober,” XX’ebster says a gentleman is, “a man well born, one of good family, above the condition of yeomen. One of refined or gentle manner; a well bred man.” Ah! a well bred man,— what is a well bred man? An adequate definition it is perhaps impossible to create, and one would soon be lost in a maze of verbiage and rhetorical effusions. But that there are some apparent but inexplicable characteristics of the lady and gentleman will be universally admitted. A gentleman you will say is known by his conduct. He is above all respectful,— respectful to superiors, equals, inferiors. This respect must not be cold and perfunctory but intelligent and true. There is a natural dignity about the courteous person, that brands him as a gens eman whether he be day laborer or oil magnate. Do clothes make the man? Far from it, but a gentleman or lady must conform to the habits of his or her society. Not to do this would be disrespect to others, just as tipping one’s hat to a lady is a m„rk of respect and has no marked merit. “Dare to be real and wish to be kind” is an old maxium. How about the reverse? Strong Testimony. Gilmore Drug Co., Fletcher, O.
