Show A WORD TO BOYS. Boys, you are all ambitious to be considered consid-ered gentlemen. That is all very natural; but remember that neither your own nor your parents' positions in life, your tailor, j your bootblack, nor your barber, can make you one. The true gentleman is tho same everywhere: not only at the social party, but in the noisy mill, the busy shop, the crowded assemb., at home, or in the street. Never oppressing the weak, or ridiculing the unfortunate. IiesiKctful and attentive to his superiors pleasant and affable to his equals, careful and tender of the feelings of those he mav consider beneath him. Are you gentlemen gen-tlemen of this class, boys? |
