THE ENGLISH GENTLEMAN.
Somehow in England, as nowhere else on earth, a man who is not a ••gentleman " cannot pass muster as one. The standard is everywhere present in England The English Rentleman is unique. His bearing is unmistakable. There ib a Gameless air about liim that stamps him as a gentleman before he speaks. The English gentleman is reserved, quiet, - speaks in a low voice, seldom dogmatizes, vrhenhe does it is in epigrams. He always dresses snitnbly ; never violates the proprieties or begrndges the amenities of life. Under no conceivable condition of temptation does he ever " swagger." Death were to him more desirable than the suspicion of being unreal or a humbug.
