GOING ON THE CoNTINENT.

Persons of importance being in the habit, at this sea'
son of the year, of rushing to the Continent, we hays
drawn up the following rules, after six trips up and down
the Danube and Rhine, to enable travellers to support
the character of Englishmen with that degree of pride
and gentlemanly spirit for which they are noted abroad :1
1. Write your name in large letters, with slate all
address, wherever you go. For this purpose, you hau,
better carry about with you a bottle of Warren's
ing and a large brush, and you can then lay it on 85
thick as you please.
2. If you go into a cathedral when service is going 00,
never mind talking or staring, or pointing, as much as
you like ; for it stands to reason, if the people are refilly
as intent on their devotions as they pretend to be, they
cannot hear or see you. The best way to test this is to
walk down the aisles with your hat on.
3. Always suspect you are being imposed upon. It is
well known that the Innumerable small foreign coins
were expressly invented to puzzle the English. To guard
against giving too much, bargain for everything Y°:'
have, and try to bate down every item in your bill.
Recollect it is the notion of foreigners that every Eng'
lishmen is stuffed full of money. The sooner you die
abuse them of this notion the better.
4 Laugh at everything you do not understand, sod
never fail to ridicule anything that appears strange te
you. The habits of the lower class will afford Yoll
abundant entertainment, if you have the proper talent to
mimic them. Their religious ceremonies you will ale°
find to be an endless source of amusement.
5. Never mind what damage you do, as long as Y°l
can afford to pay for it. Your brothers and sisters aao
naturally expect some remembrance of your buur, 50
not scruple to carry off a souvenir of every monument Y°it
visit. A saint's finger, or a whole statue itself taken
during the night from its consecrated niche in soulo
s
lonely street, will convince your relations you haven °,l
forgotten them, besides affording you capital sport an
healthy excitement in making the collection.
6. Recollect very few people talk English on the Con;
tinent, so you may be perfectly at your ease in itheeM
foreigners before their faces, and talking any ni°°l4ll,
nonsense you like, in the presence of ladies, at a tau
d'hote. Do not care what you say about the Govertla
went of any particular state you may be visiting, !1,10
show your national spirit by boasting, on every post,
occasion, of the superiority of England and every

English. - -
of
7. If. you go to a theatre, and do not know a word%5
the language of the piece:, do not hesitate to talk the
loudly as you can, or to laugh preposterously at t'"
gibberish which it is a marrel to you anybody can orl'

iierstand.
8. If foreign states will have foolish laws about pass;
ports, it is not to be expected that you, as a free-be r,
Englishman, will tamely submit to them, so al's)tr
move about as independently as if you were in 300
own country. If, by a stretch of despotism, you
taken up or sent back, you have your redress by ul".:,;
plaining to the British Ambassador, or else by so n°,
your case to be laid before Parliament as a casus gr;;;",;
to any distinguished Member of the Opposition of
time being.
9. Be particular about your diet. Avoid Were
dishes ; be sure that the wines are poison, and grate
01
at everything you get. Recollect that beef-steaks so
bottled porter are always kept in the smallest vin'g
for the use of the English. 115 t
10. Swear, if you have a mind for it, at the suia
provocation ; and, if a fellow is insolent, thrash him, srjou
if any one interferes, thrash him also. Recollect Yoo
can indulge in any violence you please, as long as I
have the means to pay for it. Thei

are useful in speaking the language, settling the :ale

pleased with everything—the eating and drie*lna
especially—that it is proverbial an English John sti,

12. Buy something at every place you stop at.
floss
foreign articles are not only so much cheaper and wvtbe
than any you can get in England, but there is else.ing
pleasure of looking at them, and the pride of display ore
them before other people, every time your boxes or
examined at a custom-house. If you are asked to Pot
anything extra for them, on the ground of duty, Woe
allow every article to be confiscated than submit to
imposition. leg'
13. Take all your wardrobe with you. Extrsala
gage is never charged for on the Continent, and it *tysl
be very foolish to miss an important ceremony, or a
invitation, for the want of a proper gown, coat, Win, is
cocked hat, pelisse, or regimentals. YouY can 9114
avoid the nuisance of having your boxes exams butt'
asking to see the officer on duty, and slipping s
note of the country (price 35.) into his hand. dy
14. Be sure to cultivate your moustachios the Yeritrofi
you start for the Continent, and allow your hair to 101
down your back. Buy a dialogue-book, and if Yeilisi the
