AMERICAN MANNERS.

Mackay late observing English traveller
in this country, thus notices some common
features Of tho American manners:
There is M feature common to all the de-
partmcnls Of American society, which will
so snon impress itself upon the stranger as
the prominent position occupied in it by the
Young ladies. In Europe, if they are not
kept there. they at least remain somewhat
in the back ground. In America. on the
other hand, they are IN the foremost rank,
and in fact constitute the all in all. Cards
ofinvilation are frequently issued in their
namcs-it being often, "rhc Misses so.and-
so" invite, instead of "Mr. and Mrs. So.and-
So" The mother is invariably eclipscd by
her daughters. Indeed, have known in
stances in which parties were given, at
which she never made her appearance; the
whole being done with her concurrence and
and assistance. but she keeping back from
participation in tho prevailing gaycty-just
because she has no inclination to Join It. pru-
dentlv Judging that her time for such frvo-
Etics is past. The young ladies take the
whole burden Of the matter upon themselves
receive the guests, and do all the hnnors
of the house. The absent mamma has her
health frequently inquired for, but nobody
ever thinks of wondering that she is not pres
en'. She is perhaps all the time in an adj
inining room, experimenting the arrange
ments of the comcstibIcs. She regards the
whole as the young ladies', dong. and leaves
them to work their way out oft the best way
they can. And very well they generally
manage to do sn-the opportunity which 1t
affords them of cutivating the virtues of
seIf-reIiancc being by no means thrown
away.
Agreeable rs all this may seem in some
respects, it has very serious disadvantages
in others. 1t imparts 10 society general
air of ffrivolly with which it could favoraby

teen take il all into their own hands, what
else could be expected? Not that all the
Young ladies in America are sixteen either in
conduct or in years; bnt tho younger portion
of them 'lsl admitted into society make
themselves more or less, the pivot ON which
it turns. A young girl lives lie of great
scclusion until she does come ont; but hav-
ing an occasional peep at the conduct of her
elder SISTERS or friends, her mind is made up
as to the part she is To act before she is for
mnllv ushcrcd into the arena. With the
exceptions OF some of the more refined and
intellectual circles of the large towns. it is
sometimes painful to witness the frivolous

ccd romp, as yet impatient of the icllcrs Of
conventional propriety.
The consequence of this is, that botn men
and women of intellectual taste and quiet
habits withdraw more or less from society
altogether. Its seldom, therefore, that the
conversation ina social assembly takes a So
bcr, rational turn. Dreary common.paccs,
jokes and vapid compliments, form the staple
conversation, all which is attended by new
cr-ceasing accompaniment of laughter which
is frequently too boisierous for all tastes.-
Such being its prominent characteristics on
The female side, the picture does not improve
when we examine the part borne in it by
men. 1t is seldom that one ever sees the
generality of men rise above The level o
their female acquainances, either in intel.
lectual culture or social refinement. In al
civilized communities, women have, IN this
respect, much in their power.

THE DREAM OF HELEN.
FROM FEsTUs.

FROM "FEsTUs."
Well, too have had,
Wha, every one hath once, at least, in life
A vision of the region of the dead:
1t was the land of shadows: yea, the land
Itself was but shadow, and The race
Which seemed therein were voices, forms OF form
And echoes of themselves. And there was nought
or substance seemed. save one thing in the midst,
great red sepulchrs-a granite grave
And at the bottom lay skeleton,
From whose dccaying jaws the shades were born :;
Making its only sign Of life its dying
Continually. Some were bright, some dark.
Those tha, were bright, went upwards heavenly;
They which were dark, grew darker and remained.
A land Of change-yet did the half-things nothing
That could see; but passed stiiy on,
Taking no note Of other, mate or child;
For all had lost their love when they put off
The beauty of the body. And as
Looked on, the grave before me backed away,
And began to dream it was dream;
And rushed after it: When the earth qnaked
Opened and shut, like the ey" of one in fits;
1t shu, to with shout. The grave was gone;
And in its stead there stood gleedke throne,
Which all the shadows shook to see, and swooned;
For fends were standing, loaded with long chains,
The links whereof were fire, waiting the word
To bind and cast the shadows into hell;
For Death the second sat upon the throne,
Which set on fire the air not TO be brcathcd;
Ano as he lifted up his arm TO speak,
Fear prcyed upon all souls, like fire on paper;
And mine among the rest; and awoke.
