THE CRADLE AND THE OLD ARM CHa1R-No
house is complete without two pieces Of furniture-
the cradle and the old arm chair No house is full
that hath not in it a babe and grandfather or a
grandmother. Life becomes more radiant and per
feet when its two extremes keep along with it. The
two loves which watch the cradle and serve the chair
are one But how different in all their openings and
actions. To the child the heart turns with more ten
derness of love, To the aged parent love is borne
look forward through the parent you look backward
In the child you see hope joys to come, brave ambi-
tion and life yet to be drawn forth in all its many
SIDED experiences Through the silverhaired parent
you behold the past, in its histories registered.

A FRENCHMAN's OPINION ON TILE UNITED STATES.
M. Alfred D'Alembert has published book on
America. On slavery he is neutral; but maintains
that the condition of the slaves physically is superior
to that of the peasants in many parts of France Of
the inferior cast into which free blacks at the North
are converted, even by the Abolitionists, after
speaking of their exclusion from all participation on
an equal footing, in the business and pleasures Of
white life their exclusion from public offices, from
theaters and hotels, and railroad cars, he adds:
Death tsefdoes not rehabilitate them they have a
separate burial place And it would not surprise me
if the Americans should pretend that God had set
apart for them hell and paradise so that the elias
sifcation might be observed in the other world Do
not forget that this is the case in the Northern States
where slavery has long since ceased to exist and
where they manifest the greatest Impotence at not
seeing it abolished by their neighbors.
He writes as follows on the subject OF American
gallantry:
am profoundly Inundated I blush to the roots of
my hair; l llnow.not where to hide myself On the
faith of tradition | had hitherto believed that the
French people were the most gallant people in the
world. Everything supported this conviction. Songs,
ballads, the good opinion we generally entertain of
ourselves, and the of foreign people, who say
from habit .i Gallant as Frenchman."
profound error which l have recognized with
shame and surprised Calamity is not dead. 1t has
deserted Europe it has taken refuge in the United
States. proclaim it openy--it is in America
that have seen true gaantry universally practlced,
spontaneously, dsinterestedly. There woman is re-
spected for her own sake, because she is woman
because she is or will be, the mother of citizen.
fla good thing could be carried to an excess, |
should say that the rights attributed to the fair
are pushed to exageraton. The women know their
power, they abuse it as tyrants 20 who know that
there are no limits to their authority.
In summer when it is too warm to stay at home, all
America travels by railroad and by steamboat to in
terror watering Places to seaside resorts wherever
else the inhabitants Of the United States supposed
to aluse themselves.
1t is in these excursions that judge better
than anywhere else Of the extent and degree of this
true gaantry and of the eager Difference shown, III
variably, to women. They arrive late all the seats
in the cars are occupied; twenty gentlemen imme
diaely rise, at the risk of remaining on their feet Or
even Of losing their journey; they quietly seat them
least sign of gratitude to the men is superluous.

BERASeER, (says the London Athanenum) is
