what is Respectable Society.

We heard man, otherwise intelligent E.
nough, sneer at another, because said he,
zone never meets him in respectable socie-
ty.' The speaker did not mean, however,
that the person he effected to look down up
on was immoral, but merely that his circle
of intmates was not composed of fashiona'
BILE or the fch.
This notion of what constitutes respecta-
BILE society, is quite fOvorite one with that
class. of indiv iduaIs, whom Thackeray has SO
SIGNIFICANTLY called 'snobs.'-Empty pre-
tence is always making its own charscteris-
ticsa standard, by which it strives to mea-
surerespectability of parsonage at large
Ina community Of mere money-gettng
wealth is the test of responsibility. Among
the proud, narrow minded, effete nobility Of
the Fauburg st. German, respectability de-
pends on being decended from ancestors who
have married their cousins for SO many ecu.
turies, that neither muscle nor brains are
left any longer to the degenerated decend-
ants. Every conceited fool thinks himself
in like way the only person who is respec-
table.
But the true respectabihty depends on no
such adventitious circumstances. To be re-
spectacle is to worthy Of respect; and he
most deserves respect who has most virtue.
The humblest man, who bravely does bis du.
ty, is more worthy of respect, is more truly
respectable, than the covetous millionire
among his money bags, or the arrogant mon
arch ON his throne. The fine lady who back
bites her neighbor is less worthy than an hons
est washerwoman. The profigate noble,
though he may wear dozen of orders at his
buttonhole, is often not really as respectable
as the shoe-blaek who cleans his boots
That which is called the world exhalts the
one and despises the other, but it does not
make them respectable according to the real
meaning of the word. Their responsibility
is but hollow sham as they themselves
frequently feel: and those who worship them
bow down to Fetch, thing of feathers
and tinsel. The selfish, idle drone, who
wastes life in his own qualification, and
disipates the fortune of his progeny, is not
and cannot be, respectable; but the hard
worlebg, self-denying father, who wears out
his life to bring up his children, is, even
thoughhe be but a day-laborer. Nothing
can make Dives fit to lie on Abraham's bo.
som, while Lazarus is welcomed there, even
with the sores the dogs have licked
The false view of life, which would mea-
sure respectability by conventional stand.
ard is totally at variance with our republi
can institutions. 1t creates an Emporium
inimperio,' for while the law declares al
citizens equal, it erects a social standard
which endeavors to ignore that great truth
The coarse, british, knavish, profigate Grim.
inal-in short, all who fall short, of Their
duty to themselves and their fellow men
--are those who are not 'respectable;' and
this whether they are rich or poor. While
those who live honestly, and strive to do
what good they can, constitute what isreal-
ly the respectable class, irrespective of the
fact whether they eat with silver forks or
steel ones .--P1ilS. Ledoer.
