■ What Constitutes a Gentleman. — Of the principal qualifications two are absolutely necessary, viz, courtesy and honour ; and these- may be possessed by all. Then comes manners and education which qualify for < " good society," and rank and wealth for thoso i who seek to move in the highest classes. The characteristics fatal to the claim to be considered a gentleman, are impudence, self-conceit, falsity, want of cleanliness, and filthy language. Nothing in dress beyond neatness and cleanliness ifl required.
