city to enjoy himself, positive opinions, and
general appreciation of nature. Not the
worst fellows to travel with. The New York
er is more flexible, and less precise, dresses
well, but affects carelessness. He makes ac-
uuantances and forgets them with equal
case, and shifts his opinions, like his clothes
if he finds better. The PhHadeiphiaa is al
most as prim as the New Englander. He
never talks fifteen minutes without mention
ing Philadelphia, his voice is thin and sharp
and he snubs all the short vowels; yet he is
warm hospitable, and accessible. The SOUTH
erner is little exacting, perhaps-or bold
His accent always shows that he played
with young darkies when he was boy; he
says whar and thar, and mauS' or mas'r, for
master. But Of either class he is frank and
companionable, and will fight and be recon-
cled ten times, while New-Englander is
working up a lifelong enmity. The YES
