DIsrIScrIoS BETWEEN FRENcHMEN
AND ENGLrSHNsS.-An Englishman
- proud. a Frenchmsn is vain. A
Frenchmsn says more than be thinks,
an Englishman thinks more than he
says. A FrencbmAn is an excellent
acquaintance. an Englishman Is a good
friend. A Frenchman is enierprising.
an Englishman is indcls,igable. An
Englishman has more judgment, q
FTenobman more Wit. Both arc brave,
but an Englishman fights coolly. a
Frenchman holly. The latter will at
tack any thing. the former will be re-
pulsed by nothing. An Englishman in
conversation seems going a journey. a

plods hard on to the object in view, the
other skins away from his path for the
