however, committed slight disrespect to
the titled ladies around her. Coolly draw

EsriIter's Festival.

The celebration of Frankliu's Birthday
by the New York Typographical Society,
was attended by several OF the most prom
inent literary celebrities of that city, among
whom were Washington Irving, Bryant
OF the authors of England, Mr. G. p. z.
James, who was present as an invited guest
made an enthusiastic speech, highly
complimentary to this country, and express
sive of cordial admiration for the distin-.
ruished writers in American literature
lie said that for himself, he should be a.
shamed to gather a laurel which he would
not willingly share with the children of
this land. He was happy to number ma
ny of her nobest authors among his dear
est friends. He could not let the idea of
strife enter his mind for moment, when
lie saw before him the genial and elegant
essayist, whose fame was equally cherish
cd in England and in America, and whose
graphic pen had described the baroniaI
halls of England with no less JUNCTION than
the varied legends of Manhattan and the
Hudson river,-when he thought of the
graceful genins of Prescott and the rare at
tainments OF Ticknor, whose couteous hos
pitaIity he had enjoyed III the city of the
Puritans,-when he read the terse humor
Of Haheck, the solemn majesty of Bryant,
the sparkling satire of Holmes, the unri-
vailed word-painting of landscape by Bay
ard Taylor Ire felt that he was among
congeniaI spirits, whose names aroused as
strong an echo IN the hearts of Englishmen
as in those of any of the present audience
MIR. James concluded his speech with an
expression of regret, that i'll travelling
through the country from Boston, where
Franklin was born, TO Philadelphia, where
he lived, he had seen no monument to his
memory Tyrants raised the lofty shaft to
men of military renown and the brutal glo-
ry of war; but, let great and free people

MANNERs-There is nothing settled in
manners, but the laws of behaviour yield
to the energy OF the individual. The.maid-
en- at her first ball, the countryman at
city dinner believes that there is a ritual
according TO which every. act and compli-
ment must be performed, or the failing par
ty must be cast out of presence. La
ter, they learnstha good sense and charac-
ter make their own forms every moment,
and speak or abstain, take wine or refuse 1t,
stay or go, sit in a chair or sprawl with
children on the floor, or stand on their head,
or Nvhatel soever, ina new and aboriginal
way: and that strong will is always in
fashion, let who will be unfashionable.--
All that fashion demands is coinposure and
self-content. A circle ofmen perfectly well
bred would be a company Of sensible per-
sons in which every man native manners
and character appeared. 1.-THE fnshionist
have not this quality he is nothing. We
are such lovers ofsselfreliance that we ex-
.cnse in man many sins, if he will show us
a compete satisfaction in his position,
which asks no leave TO he of mine or any
mans good opinion But any difference to
some eminent man or woman ofthe world,
forfeits all privilege of nobility. He is an
uilderling: / have nothing to do with him;
/ will speak with his master. A man
shoi1ld not go where he caanot carry his
whole sphere or society with hiIn--not bodi-
ly, the whole circle of his friends. but at
mospherically. He should preserve in a
new company the same attitude of mind
and reality of relation which his daily as
sociates draw him to, else he is shorn ofhis
best beams, and viii be an orphan iii the
Inerriest club.

SAILoRs.-The behaviour Of the seanen

and admiration; they exhibited d cool and
lofty courage which is never seen amid the
shock Of armies and the thunder of battle
The courage of thesosdieris not to be com
pared to the death-defying heroisnl of the
searnail In one case death is met in hot
blood and in the excitement of battIe-in
the other he is calmly confronted for hours
Or days. Fol who'll the seaman stands
with one foot in q watery grave, without
rIlllrlnur OF d ign Of fear. He endures
horrible suspense, more than thousand
sudden deaths: 4e stands upon the deck
81 his ship cheek BY losgl with the grim
tyrahts and he does not shudder or turn
pale in his company The sailor is hero
they are heroes as a class. Al brighter
day must dawn for such men, their geter-
osity, their fidelity, and their death-detying
bravery must be acknowledged and their
virtues must be rewarded

Georgia railroads.

w frequently notice, IN distant papers,
very gross and inaccurate statements ia re-
gard to the different railroad Improvements

i ing in process of construction which are

tised as completed which never had an ex-
istence, save in the Visionary brains Of GER
tian gentlemen about Albany and Charles
