Mrs. Frances ID. Gage, in a letter TO
the Ohio State Journal. gives her sex the
following fair hits:
1.-Two years ago made a journey to
New England. accompanied by my hus-
band and, also my father in law, an old
man Of four score years have often
seen that good old man offer his seat to
some hale woman of half, or less than
half his age. and seen her accept it. as if
it were right, without even passing no.
tice OF his gray hairs, or right of years
that entitled him to her kindness and at
tcntion. Once, and only once, a lady Of
queenly grace and beauty. sprang from
her seat as we entered, and with a voice
that was musical in its every tone, SAID,
Father, take this arm chair How my
heart sprang to meet her in her angel
goodness!

dy; which is synonymous with a true

the politeness-without. indeed. seeming
to feel or understand that any favor had

Fanny kemble also makes pointed
reference in her Journal to this piece Of
impoliteness on the part Of American la
dies. She even says. indeed, that she
had seen their seats fairly eracied Of gen.
tlemen. by ladies who came late to places
Of public resort. and. when surrendered.
taken without word, smile, or look Of
thanks.
In England, it is not customary for
gentleman TO give up their seats to ladies
under similar circumstances, and there
fore it is not surprising that English wri-
ters should be forcibly struck with the
American peculiarly. But when our
own people begin to censure it-and es-
pecially when that censure comes from
the ladies themselves. it is pretty good ev-
dence that the custom is one which
would be much better in the occasional
breach, than in so unreasonable an OBJ
