Aithough athletics are good, they may overdone, No wonder an Oxford schoiar flods such men lacklog tn “distinc- on.” In England the “yenuieman” is aman who 1s at once poWerful at the oar and good at an ode Of Horace; he does uot leave out the latter even if he can kick a ball, The men of our Army and ‘avy are almost always men of good manners; y have had a repressive training, they havi ‘conquered themselves, AN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN should have the best inanners in the world, for he ‘eed never be subservient, he has nothing to crush him, he can always afford tobe polite. No man knows @ master excepting himself; no one need grovel; no man need be asnob; but every man shouldbe a gentleman. The old adage that it takes three generations to make a gentlemsn 1s constantly bet! contradicted in America. Many of our young are undoing what three genera- Uons have made, ‘The {rigidity and cubbiness may have descended to some men of good race in exact ratio as their talent has diminished; to have noth- ing left of a good ancestor vut bis bad manners Is ‘a poor inheritance. Now what did Matthew Ar- nold mean when he implied that Abraham Lin- cola Wi not ® “gentieman,” Was not “disuin- guished?” To us Abraham Lincoln was the ideal entieman, although he was not an elegant parior Enight; to us he was all that was distinguished, a genius, a tender heart, a wit, a seer, an orator, and a philanthropist. ‘Tue Englishman probably meant that Abrabain Lincoln tad not the man- ners of Washington, Alexander Hamilton, or Gen, Scott, These mnen Were gentlemen, were distin- juished.” . WHAT MAKES THE GENTLEMAN. Therefore we see that several things goto make up the gehtleman to the foreign critic. He must ‘not only be a good man but a polished man. Good feeling comprehends that totimate knowledge of all that is refined, amiable, befitting in manner and elegant in conversation, which comes first from a training at the mocher’s knee and in the father's house, secondly from an ability and a de- Sire to accept ‘these refining influences, which an after knowledge and interest in society will help wo render one conventionally well-bred according Wo the etiquette of society. Good breeding con- trols the temper and tempers the speech; it brightens up tue Wits and causes the di mlod w ‘being its treasury to the surface; 1t makes a man fit for the thought of Macauley, the laugnter Of Sidney Smith; it makes the young boy in the counling-room the proper person to form in the noble procession of people of wit and taought and culture, Now as to the use of the word “yentle- man.” ‘It 13 often Yulgarized in our own country. When Tom ov the ball field says to bis generous antagonist, “Horatio, you are a gentleman,” he uses it correctly; When «driver says to bis fare, “It you are tue man who ts going to ride lam the gentleman ay 13 W drive you,” Le uses it incor- ly. When @ servant annoutces a plumber as he gentleman to Mx Ube pipes” she uses It Incor- rectly. And the word “gentleman,” one of the noblest, sweetest, grandest words in the language, should hot be used too much; put in the better word, man, remembering that gentie-man im- plies mauen breeding, much culture, a certain re- Huement of occupation, and a morul vone of the very highest. ‘ADVICE 1X SMALL THINGS, And to descend to the lowest thing about a gen- tleman, we should remember that his minor ‘manners must be attended to: he does not swear, or smoke in the presence of women; he does not eat his dinner in a hurry; he does’ not crumble his Dread about, making it into pills; he does not eat lls soup with « hissing sound, of tip the plate to get the last Ts 7 he mends his table manners if they are bad; resses himself weil if his means Will allow; be he ever so poor he must be clean.
