CEREMONY.

There is no country in Europe, where eti-
auette is more burdensome in society than in
England, because vanity and pride are more
closely put to their shifts to escape from the
equality Of republican institutions. private
party cannot sit down to dinner without as
much marshalEng as at coronation feast; and
as the great must be initiated at all costs, the
unqualified are sometimes puzzled 10 find
grounds for precedence. First goes the church,
then the law. The captain ola volunteer corps
takes the pas of the Lieutenant; and Mrs. Colo
mel Pat,ypan is MORALLY offended il she is not
handed out before Mrs. Major Sturgeon. A
merchant or banker looks down with disdain
upon the riches, member ofthe Stock Exchange,
and expects TO SO before him; and an attorney
claims precedence Of a retail tradesman. In
ball rooms tits still worse; rSe elbowed misses,
