Social CouRTEsiHs.--.We noticed this sub.
ject IN one Of our recent numbers, and now re-
vert to It for the purpose Of abiding to the
contrast presented by the past and present
modes Of addressing ladies', and Of giving a
sample Of politeness Of the present day.
An old Virginia slave, who had grown prav
in his duties as a house servant, recently. In
our hearing, characterized his former mistress
as tan old-time lady, and spoke Of his pres
ent owner. the granddaughter as zone Of the
highfyers!".-There 10 no little discrimination
in old Sambo's titles. The old time ladies kept
up their dignity, characterized the circles they
moved in, and gave an influence Of manners
and Poilteness TO society. They converted,
too, and did not chatter; they extorted from
gentlemen, the homage Of the heart, and for
ced others to respect them, by respecting them
selves. We hope we are not croaking over the
fancied ''eclat" of the past; but we put the
query, is this the tone Questionable manners
