There are a thousand pretty, en
gaging little ways, which every
person may put on without ruu
niug the risk of being deemed af
fected or foppish. The sweet
smiles, the cordial bow, the earnest
movement in addressing a friend,
the inquiring glance, the graceful
attention which is so captivating
when united with self-possession
these will insure us the good re
gards of even a churl. About all,
there is a certain softness of man
ner which, in either man or wo
man, adds a charm that almost en
tirely compensates for lack of
beauty, and inestimably enhances
the latter where it does not exist.

Mauy men are said to be self
taught. No man was ever taught
in any other way. Do you sup
pose a man to be a bucket to be
hung on the well of knowledge
and pumped full ? Man is a crea
ture that learns by the exertion of
his own faculties. There are aids
to learning of various kinds; but
no matter how many of these aids
a man may be surrounded by, af
ter all, the learning is that which
he acquires himself. Whether he
is in college or out of college, in
school or out of school, every mau
must educate himself. And in
our times and in this community
every man has the means of doing
it.

A GENTLEMAN OF LEISURE.
There are very few grown men,
or even “stout noys, ’ in this
country who have any pride in be
ing out of business, Occasionally
one is found, however, and when
found he is worth making a note
of. We ran across a genuine spec
imen the other day, or rather, he
ran against us,against our feeliugs,
against our judgement, against our
sympathy, but not against our
pity. We did pity him, and that
was the extent of our recognition.
He was dressed faultlessly, that is,
if the extreme of latter day fashion
can be called faultless; he had
beautiful white hauds and teeth,
his hair was parted in the middle,
his downy mustache adroitly curl
ed, a gold mounted eye-glass
dangled from a hole of his
vest, and a “nobby” little walking
stick was twisted in his bejeweled
lady fingers. He was proud to s«;
that he was a “gentleman of leis
ure.” We inferred as much be
fore he said it. What else eoulu
have been inferred! What earth
ly use could the mortal thing be
put tot Physical force he had not;
his mind was as vacaut as an ex
hausted receiver; and he seemed
to have no excuse for living ex
cept to advertise some tailoring es- (
ablishment. It is something to
she credit of this country that such
specimens of the genus homo are
rare. We can only wish that they
were so rare that circus men would
be induced to cage them with their
monkeys; though the monkeys
would be apt to protest against the
companionship.—Ex.
