 tl In he eaye however to enter protest against thls ap- propriation of the palm to the South. we adhit, cheerfuy that that section of country Is adorned and beautied with some of the oveliest beings on earth but even many of these from the North, as Is well known to all who have travelled and mingled in socl- ety in that section. Buckingham is right, to some extent with regard figure and bust; but It should be remembered that the Englsh taste IS, m hs res pect less refined than the American, and that what in the fashionable circles of English society would be considered attractive and ynexceptionabe, woud m this country be considered coarse and indelicate.- As to the glow of feeling and sentiment, Buckingham is altogether wrong. On pruper occasions, nowhere in the world may stonger exhibitions of the right kind of feeling be sesn than in this country.
 Indeed, many argie that this IS fault on the part of our females--lh1t they are too susceptibe-and that hemce we havt many early marriages. For example, many American females marry between the ages of fifteen anA twenty-more, it is probable be- tween the ages Of fifteen and eighteen than at any other period. fnysicians, ana tnOse WHO nave eAa- m,ned into tie subject pronounce ths premature, and say that n our climate from eighteen to twenty two embraces a much more advisable period
 Buckingham also audes to male society, and hits off some of the absurdtes of the woud-be fash ionables thus
 "Of the men in the fashionable circles of society here the difference between the old and young IS markedly striking. The old men from the South, and from Carolina and Virginia especially, what would be called perfect gentlemen of the old school with us Precise, yet elegant in their dress, courte ous and affabe in their manners-hgh toned in their politics and taste-lax in their morality while fash ion sanctions their conduct-warm in their attach ments and punctlious in all points of honor and et iquete."
 !" The young among the fashionables al- most all copy sts of the dress and manners of the young men about town, as they called in Lon don and chiefly remarkable for foppery oi dress and the assumption of boards, mustachios and other exotic fashions, as if they were either foreigners themselves, had travelled long the continent of Europe as to bear about them marks of their iourn at Rome, Naples or Paris. Their manners, too, like those of our young men abost town, iher familiar than elegant, and are more remarkable for brusque and nonehalance than for courtesy fneinenl,"
