He had a son ten years old, a hright, handsome, generoushearted boy, who inherited his father’s impulsive 'charâ€" aeter. A quick-tempered father and a thoughtless, impulsive boy are apt to get into collission at times, and it was so with Mr. Ellis and his little son. The father’s commands were not always obeyed; and as the father had some strict notions in regard to obedience, punishments jarred amid the household harmonies rather more frequently than a wise regard to justice and humanity would have appro- ved. The hasty temper and forgone conclusions of Mr. Ellis made his discip- line oftener cruel than reformatory. A single instance Will illustrate our mean- ing; and that is the story we wish to relate. The story. or something like it‘, has been told before, but we_wish to tell it in our own way. And the lesson it teaches will bear many repetitions. It 'was a pleasant summer afternoon and Willie Ellis came out from his mo- ther’s hands clad all in white linen, and looking as sweet- and pure as innocence itself. The house stood only a short dis tance from a river, on the banks of which the boy was fond of sfioi‘fing, and in {He ooze of which he sometimes soiled his garments in a sad way, much to the dis- comfort of himself and his mother, “Willie,” said Mr. Ellis, as the boy passed out, “ where are you going ‘2” “ Only to play,” answered the rougish youth. “ To playâ€"where ?” . “\V‘ith Eddie Wheeler, down at his house.” " Did your mother say you might go “ Yes, sir.” “ Very well ; all right, then. But mind one thingâ€"you are not to go down to the river. Yesterday you came home with your clothes soiled and wet. I won’t have that again. So remember that; I’ve saidâ€"d0 not go to the river.” _ “ Not if Mr; ‘Vheelcr lets Eddie g0 ?” There Was a, half-pleading look in the young, bright face. there “ NO,” was the imperative answer ; “ I’ve said don't go to the river,and ifyou disobey me I’ll punish you severely.” \Viflie’s step had lost: some of its airy lightness when he moved on again. U“ Mind that you don’t forgét !” called the father after him? The boy heart]7 but did not look back or make any response, which a little an- noyed Mr. Ellis, Who had grown very sensitive On the shore of strict obedience. ‘ It Wouldn’t at all surprise me,’ said he to himself", ‘ if' he were to eome home in an hour all covered with river mud. He is so thoughtless, or self-willedâ€"I hardly know which. But children must be made to obey. That’s the discipline to enforce, at all hazzards; and if he dis- obeys me this time, he will have cause to remember it as long as he liVes.’ Something had gone wrong with Mr. Ellis, and. he was in a sterner mood than usual. Moods of mind, rather than a sense of justice, oftenest influence our conduct with reference to others. We act from.» a state of feeling more frequent- ly than from considerations of right. ' 1‘ So you have been to the river, after all that I sald.” . _ h The boy lifted a pale face and frighten- ed eyes. “ Didn’t I tell you not to go to the river ?” A vice-like grip was already on his soft little arm. 7 “ Yes, sir,’ iips. _ came through quivering ‘ “ And you went after all I” "' But father ” “ Not a word, sir! I told you not to go to the river, didn’t I ?” I thought that I could patient be, I thought I’d strength for any fat‘é‘, So that the end and aim were themâ€"#- But oh, it seems 'so long to wait! Ten thousand miles of cruel Seas Have made us twain who once were one. Will my sad vigil ever cease? I would that it had ne'er begun I Alas! so distant, love, art .tho'h'yâ€" My day begins when thine is done, And ends when thine begins,â€"â€"but now, The day and night to me are one; Wh‘e'r’e thou art not, there is day , For one to whom thy love was light; The world has grown so and land gray, I shiver, though the sun is Slight; How many suns must rise and set, How many moons must wax and wane Ere I this weary pain forget, And hold thee in my arms again. I know that {lieu art true and fond, 1 knOw thy love is strong and great: I promised neVer to deepond; But oh, it seems so long to wait! 9a: A Moment of Passmm fiifimfim. mm, Waiting. “ Eddie Vthel‘e'r tried to explain. . . , , I I “I don’t want to hear abofit Eddie Wheeler. He can’t excuse your dis. obedience. Come, sir, we’ll settle this business I” and he drégged the Whiteâ€" faced boy after him upstairs to the gar- ret, and takifig down a rod, swung it in the air above his head. “ Oh, father! Don’tl L‘et me‘ tellyoul A look, almost like despair, Was in the boy’s fade. MI“. Ellis remembers it to this day; and will remember it t9 the day of his death. " the pear ‘chiid “I don’t wish to hear any etcuedt,” was rephed, es the little red (Barrie dOWn upon the shrinking child, with a stroke that made every he‘i‘ve quiver with pain. "‘ 0h, father '1” _ a ,, , Onoe moi‘e the mild, appealing look, 'so full of agony. Was lifted to the stern face above him, but lifted in vain. A second cruel stroke fell, and then a. rain of strokes, until the father’s sense of pity, intruding between anger and unforgiving justice, stayed his arm. He went deWn- stairs, and left the boy lying in the mid- dle of the floor, as he had dropped from his hand~motionless as if life Were 01(- tinct. He met the pale, suffering mo- ther belowwshe loved the boy tenderly, and had felt eVery smarting blowâ€"but passed her Without a. word. She had seen Willie as he eneountered his father at the door, and understood the meaning of this heavy punishment. Mr. Ellis went out into the porch to breathe the freer air, and ‘6001 the sudâ€" den excitement under Which he had been laboring. Ashe shut the dodr behind him, in a kind of instincsive effort to separate himself from a painful scene, he stood face to face with Mr. Wheeler. A hand grasped his hand. in a quick, strong pressure. _.A .5 “"And he didn’t tell you I Brave,‘ noble bay 1 He Came over to play with Eddie; and Eddie Wanted to go down to the river, but Willie said he couldn’t go to the river. I heard Eddie hoaxing him; but- Willie was firm, because he said you had told him not to go. I was so pleased at his obedient spirit! Well, ‘ I lost sight of them after a little; but, as I learn, Eddie would go down to the fiver", and your boy followed him, but kept at a distance from the water, In- stead of climbing over the logs and barâ€" rels, or getting into ,the boats, he sat by himself aWAy elf. Then, sii‘, my Eddie,‘ in leaning over the river, slipped and felll in; and your boy, instead of running away, half frigtened out of his senses7 as most children of' hiSInge would have done, sprung down to the Wharf, and into the water after Eddie. I wonder they were not both drowned. It was only in Heaven's mercy that they Were saved. When the man who saw. What happened got to the'plaee, and looked over the (look into the Witter, there was Willie, holding on to a ring in one of the legs with his right hand‘,‘ and clinging to Eddie with his left. Such oourage and presence of mind in a boy aln‘mst surpas- ses belief! Where is he? He ran off home as soon as the man lifted him from the ‘water. I must thank him for his noble not.” “ It was a brave act, sir. He’s a noble boy ! Where is he ?” “ I don’t understand you," said Mr; Ellis, looking bewildered; “ Didn’t he tell you T” “ Tell me what ‘3” x “ How he sprang into ‘the river, and saved my little Eddie’s life.” “ I heard. nothing of it.” , There Was a chockng seflsatibn if! Mr. Ellis’ threatâ€"his voice was faint and husky; At this moment, the door opening into the porch swung bank, and the White face of Mrs. Ellis looked out. “ Oh. husband 1” she exclaimed, in a voice of terror, “ come to Willie 2 quick!” Mr. Ellis followed his wife, and the' neighbor hurried after them. The mother had found her boy lying, insensible on the garret floor, and lifting him in her“ arms, had brought him downstairs, andl laid him, in his wet clothes, upon her i, own bed. ~ I As Mr. Ellis came int‘o the mom; he saw the deathly face turned towards the door. The sight seemed to blast his vision. He struck his hands together, shut his eyes, fiiid Steed Still suddenly. “ Will you run for the doetor ‘2’" said Mrs. Ellis to the neighbor; The nclghbor did literally as the lilo- ther saidâ€"he ran all the Way to the phy- sician’s residence; By the time the doctor arrivéd,VVillie’s wet ygarments had been removed. He asked but few questions as to the mean; ing of the boy’s condition. Mr. Wheeler had told of his heroic conduct, and the inferencu was that there was an overâ€"exâ€" citement of the braix‘r, leading to suspend- ed animation. Still the base puzzled him. “ He may have been hurt in jumping from the Wharf,” suggested Mr.Wheeler-. The doctor, on this hint, examifle'd the body; “'What is this?” he asked, as a long purple stripe, lying across the back and shoulders, met his eyes. “And this ?” he added, as he came upon another. Mr. Ellis turned his face away, sick at heart; he “could not follow the doc- t‘or’sfiyes. “ He may have been hurt internally,” said the doctor, drawing ‘baék the clothes, and covering the fair body, that Was marked with cruel lines. He was tight in that, but; the‘injury was deeper than he imagined; It was the boy’s tender spirit which had been hurt. “ This will not last, doctor ?" The pale lips of Mr. Ellis quivered as he asked the question. MrT Ellis hm; fi’een away from the idoni fer only a few minutes, when. the hushed voice of his "wife, calling to him, reached his ears". He 'oame to Where she stood, half way down stairs. “ Willie wants you.” she said; V “ Has he reeovered ?" asked the fathei‘. “ Yes; He opened his eyes and look- ed all around the r0011] almost. as soon as you went out. Then be shut them again as if to think; and then, looking up, after a little while, Said, ‘Where is father ?’ I told him you were downstairs, and. he said, “ VVon’t you call him ?” _ Mr. Ellis went up to meet his child in in a state of mental depressi'Qn difficult to be eoneeived‘. He could have faced almost any imaginary danger with less of' shrinking than he now felt m going into the presence of Willie. But there was no holding back. What did the boy Want '? What had he to say ’3 How would he receive him ? These questions 'cr'oWded and bewildered his mind. He pushed open the door softly and went in'. Oh, hasty, impulsive, passionate Father! take Warning in time° Be on your guard. Heal“ before you strike. Punish not on any hasty provocation. Take nothing for granted It is a Sad, sad thing to bear through life a memory like that which burdens the heart of Mr. Ellis whenever the thought goes backâ€" ward into the irrevocable past; I It did not laét, There came, {men after, signs of retaining vitality.‘ The neighbdrs went homeâ€"the doctor ietifed 4and the father [and mother Were lefl: alone with the b'rave-heai‘ied Boy, Who had been Wronged so cruelly; Mr. Ellis could not heat to look at him. He felt twice ever, upon his own heart, the, blows he had given. There Was such rebuke in the pale fabe and shut eyes of the Boy, who had not yet spoken, or re- eognized anyone, that he could not stay in the Chamber. Every momerit he looked to see the eyes open, and how could he meet their gaie‘fl He was going on, but his father caught him up, and as he ‘drew him tightly to his heart, answered, “ I know it all, my brave, brave boy I” Then Willie’s arms found their way to his father’s neck, and clung there tightly. His Cheeks, when his head went baek upon the pillow from which he had arisen7 were Wet, but i101; with his own tears. Could father or child ever férget that day ? The child might ; but the father, never ! The bOy’s Waiting eai's had heard the almost noiseless feet. approaching; and his eyes were upon the entran‘Ce'. Mr. Eliis did not speak, but oame oVer {O‘the bed; '“ Oh, Lather! I didn’t do wrongâ€"I Wasdt disobediet‘lt‘,” said \Villic, making an effort to rise from the pillow, and speaking with eagerness. “I tried to tell you, but you wouldn’t hear ” :“I think fid‘tfl’ was the un’ce'rtain 'an'swer. “\Vlm is a gentleman ?” To this question [ should, probably, get as many answers as those curious people Would, who might be tempted to inquire “ who was Juni‘us?” wlii‘CIl every man desires to be; which most men think they are; and which few know how to describe. Ode Woulc say, “ Agentleman must be a man of breeding ;” another, “ He must be a man of birth,” (following Johnson’s definition, “ a man of birth not necessarily noble ”) a third W'ould tell you, “ Much depends i H on dress; and a fourth would say, “He must posseSs a certain je na sais ‘quoi ;” Whilst a fifth will declare that by his, tout ensemble you Will immediately re- cognise the gentleman. And this last declaration we do not intend to contra- ‘di‘ct; for by his tout ensemble alone we think a gentleman is to be known: "John- ;son says, 3‘ The term may be used 'of any man, however high;” and this no ’one ,will gainsay; for where is the noble or ,king who would not think himself‘ “aggrieved, were any less- complacent term to be applied to him ? Is the gentle- man only in existence new, or has he had abeing since Adam (who, as the clown in "Hamlet" remarks, was the first gentleman who ever bore arms)? If the former is the case, in our opinion we insult our ancestors very grievously,for there have been many in ages past who haVe been nailed by the name of gentle 'men; and surely those Who have gone ‘before us have understood the meaning of the term as well as we. If, on the contrary, the gentleman has existed . since the creation ‘of the world, then the idea that to be such depends entirely on dress and manner is overthrown, and the .gentlcman is as fixed and unchanging as the earth, though under difi'ei'ent‘ fashions, he may wear as diflerent an A gentleman is that : aspect as she does under different season's. But the true gentleman, if he1 be judged by his courage and courtesy, which qualities, Barrow says, are essen- tially his, will be ever distinguished from the vulgar, and remain the same in , every age, however ,difier'cntly the acci- dents around may affect his outward be- havior. Etiquette-books will befriend a man but little: they will prevent him, ' perhaps, from making any glaring mis- take ; but if a man acts on their authori- tv alone, they are more likely to eause ' him to he laughed at, than admired as a gen t-leman. n11 U Lord Chesterfield wrotg as many ‘reâ€" ceipts for a man’s mannerfi as Doctor Kitchener did f'ér sauces ; and, ibis said, his son turned out but a sorry gentleman. Tennyson hus beautifullywcompared the manners of a gentleman to “the flow- er, the native growth of noble mind.” Flowers, we know, may often transplant- Who is a. Gentleman. ed; but eXotics nev‘cr flourish like thé native piants. Unless a man owns thé virtues of a gentleman, he will never be? xCome ode; Mr. Jourdain tried in Vain to make hibisclf into one; In épite 'of all his music and dancing, and fine dressing, his vulgarity was apparent in .eVery} a'étion, and it was that which made him the dupe df his ‘ciinning acquaintance at ias't. . h l" The ch'nrl in soil-it, howe’ei‘ he veil His want in forrfis for fashion’s sake, Will let his coltish nature break ‘A’t seasons through the gilded pale.” .. Barrow, in Speaking“ 'of a gentleman? duty, gives a long deseriptiofi 'of what such a one ought to be; and there is something very beautiful in the quaint way in Whioh he holds lip men of ages long gene by as examples to be followed by th'OSe to whom he addresses himself. After speaking of the gentleman’s busi- ness in relieving and succoring the alflic- ted, of advisingr the ignorant, {did of re- claiming the wicked, he goes on to say; “ It is his business to be hotpitéblekind‘2 and helpful to strangers; following those noble gentlemen, Abraham and Lot, W116 were so ready to invite and entertain strangers with bountiful courtesy. ‘It is his business to maintain peaee‘,,and ap'- pease dissensions among his neighbors; interposing his counsel and authority iii order thereto; wherete he hath that brave gentleman Moses reeommended for his pattern; It is his business to proi mote the welfare and prosperity of his country with his best endeavors and by his interests; in Which 'praeti‘ce the sacred history doth propourid divers gal- lant gentlemen, Joseph, Moses, Samuel; Nehemiah; Daniel; and Mordecai.’ That Barrow is justified in naming all these as gentlemen none will deny. . . fihaueer, in describing his knight, the gentleman of his day, writes : “ He loved chivalry, Truth and honor, freedom and courtesy.” And another great poet Shakspeare, has shown that he well understood what a gentleman should be. Where shall we find a truer one than Bassanio, who “ to a fault would not add a lie,”‘even to exi cuse himself to Portia. We love t6 think of him as a real man, notdwelling' only in the land of fiction, but its one with whom we should like to shake hands and claim as a friend; In the “ Two Gentlemen of Verona,” we find such anotherflwe mean Valentine, for Proteus falls short of meriting such 9'. name. Valentine speaks modestly of himself, and is no doubt blinded by his affection for his unworthy friend, when he describes him to the Duke as one‘ '“ who is com lete in feature and in mind, And all goo grace to graced gentleman.’{ This c'linracter Proteus by no means deserves: unlike Malcolm, who “would not betray the devil to his renew," hé tells tales of his friend on the first oppor- tunity, and does all he than to ruin him. 4 The age of Elizabeth was the age of line gentleman; the Queen delighted in. seeing herself surrounded with med whose magnificent costumes and high breeding gave them as much superiority ever their inferiors in station, as thei mental cultivation and ready ,Wlt did over their ll’lfCl‘iOl‘S in intellect. in those days, when the courtly Raleigh carried sixty thousand pounds about with him in the shape of jewels and fine clothes; and the wily Leicester spent fortunes in trying to make the Queen as much in love With him as he was with the crown; the former could condescend to beg thé lives of those adherents of Essex who could afford to bribe him handsomely, and the latter could be base enough to counsel his sovereign to murder her trea’che'rOusly whom once he had aspired to make his wife. Among the glittering“ throng that suriounded Elizabeth, none shone more conspicously as a gentleman than did Sir Phili ) Sydney. “ He was a gentleman finished and complete, in whom mildness was aSsoeiated with cour- age, eruditibn 'mollified by refinement, and courtliness dignified by truth. He is a specimen of what the English char- acter is capable of, when foreign admix‘é tures, have not destroyed its simplicity; hr ’p’olit‘eh‘ch debased its honor. Of such a stamp was Sir Philip Sydney, and 11$ such every Englishman ought to be proud of him.” And England is proud of him * the simple tale that has been handed down by the generations that have eomé between him and us, has endeared him to us for ever; that noble act of kindé ness to to the dying soldier on the field of zuiphen, has been, treasured up by ué among the greatest deeds of our ances- tors, and 'We tell the’sto'ry to our bhildreig saying, ‘y‘ Go thou and do likewise l” Of Sir Philip Sydney might be said What is said of Bayard, for he, too, was "‘ Sans your at some reproche," ‘And further 01.1 than the age 'of Elisabeth, when her finé, courtiers had been long mouldering away“ in the dustâ€"when the influence of thé first Charles had ceased, and his son had left, as his best legacy to his people, the vulgarity and immorality that he brought with him to the throneâ€"there arose one who came out of that mass of corruption endowed with all the virtues of a. Chris‘- tian and all the courtesy of a gentleman; and this one Was Addison, of Whom Mr. Macaulay says, “ His only faults were, a too sensitive delicacy, and a m'dd'esty which amounted to, bashfulnes.” ' His virtues were shew'n by his temperance in . argument, and by the gentleness with e which he wielded that powerful weaponz , satire, of' which there never lived a more perfect master; his charity to hid . enemies, and his forgiveness of the m; a juries he received, though he had eVer'y opportunity and all themean‘s, to retali- ate.
