PEOPLE DIFFER As MUCH AS ANYBoDY.-Whe-
ther an act becomes an insult, depends almost
rs much on location and surrounding circum-
stances as our faith and prejudices do. For a
colored man to conuubaize with a white wo-
man would in this country be considered
gross insult by ninety-nine women out Of
hundred. In England or France the matter
would produce no greater astonishment than
the amalgamation OF pair of different colored
geese.
Ask Hindoo to partake of your meat, and
he would spit in your face; neglect to ask an
Englishman to do so, and he would probably
request the favor of meeting you in the park.
| To offer wine to Turk, would be to make m
enemy of :" enlarged breecbes' forever. The
same act to Frenchman would probably Sc
| cure you an unerring friendship. Among our
oriental friends, for man to introduce himself
into the presence of n married woman, would
be to the husband an objectionable injury;
bare request to see her an affront The person
who should call on an American, however, with
out nquirng for the partner of his bosom, would
he considered as having lost his title to gen.
tleman. On the coast Of Malabar, if Hella-
chore chance TO touch man of n superior tribe
the outrage is so great that the laws allow the
injured party to punish the insult with death ;
in almost any other country il would be treated
as an act too frivolous to notice. In France
duelling is looked upon as an accomplishment ;
in Japan ii is murder. Suicide on the contrary
is thought by the Frenchman an act of base
ness, while the japanese people esteem it the
most satisfactory proof of your possessing
bravery. To wipe out disgrace the Frenchman
shoots you; the japanese on the contrary shoots
himself, while your refusal to follow his exam.
pie would be considered such an act of pol
troonery, that your family would consider them
selves disgraced to all eternity. From this the
reader will see that large portion of our inju-
ries, like the greater number of our troubles,
are rather imaginary than otherwise; and that
while the latter very often take their rise from
Indigestion, or an overloaded stomach, the
former owe their existence to n difference in
latitude, and the notions that we derive not
from a manly heart, but the senseless preju
dices which surround us.-Aibdny Dutchmdn.

RADIsnEs A PoLiTlCAL EMBLEM.-The tri-
color, which is the republican emblem of Italian
independence, is the object of special jealousy
in Tuscany. The vigilance of the police at

in private. An old market woman was recently
arrested for having basket Of white and red
radishes, which with the green tops made the
hated talisman.
