This man has romance, his high poetic
feeling, and, above all, his manly dignity.
Visit him, aud you will find him without

and old flannel shirt, too often bearing on
his lantern jaws the signs of age and
sickness but he will stand up before and
speak to you with all the ease of a letter.

odious incivility Of the republican SER

master, standing or his own threshold,
and finds no need to assert his equality BY.
rudcness. He is delighted to see you,
and bids you sit down on his battered
bench without dreamngof any such apol-
ogy as an English cottier offers to Lady
Eountifiil when she calls. He has
worked out independence, and shows it in
every movement of his body. He tells
you of it unconciously in every tone of
his voice. You will always find in bis
cabin some newspaper, some book, soma
token of advance in education. When
he questions you about the old country
he astonishcs you by the extent of his
knowledge. l defy you not to feel that
he is superior to the race from whence ha
has sprung in England or Ireland. To
me [ confess the manliness of such man
is charming. lie is dirty, and perhaps
squald. His children are sick and he is
without comforts His wife is pale, and
you think you see shortness of lite writ

over and above it all, there is an indie

shoulders, and teaches you at first glance
that the man has right to assume him
