A Southern AFiStOcrat.
IL Me Eaitors aI ae Eeal.ag Post:

To The Editors of tie ErGttag Post;
Recently in Paris at one of the clubs. Mr. John
Slideil, on being asked to explain why it was that
such extreme hatred and bitterness of feeling were
manifested on all occasions by the SOutherners to-
wards the Northerners while the latter never exhbi-
ted any such sentiments. replied in his usual bonn
bastic manner that the explanation very simple
indeed: 'lhe Southerners we're the aristOcracy of
of America, while the Northerners were nothing
but herd ofvulgar peddling traders" Now 1t is in
the memory of some Of our citizens that this John
Shde, this exponent and eXampler of the South
ern aristocrats, left this city under coercion for
disgraceu and dshOnorable act, with an Injunction
from the late Stephen Price, after the duel that his
life would be spared provided only he should never
come back while he Price remained here. His
carer at New Orleans, political and social, does
not seem to have been such as TO have created a
very general impression that he was either very
high minded a very honest man. In Trinity
Churchyard, in this city. NAV be seen tombstone

MARRIAGE N LAPLAND.-It is death in Lapland to
marry a maid without the consent Of her parent or
friends When young man has formed an attach
meut for female, the fashion is to appoint their
a race together. The maid is allowed in starting the
advantage of onehrd part Of the race, that it is
impossible except willing Of herself that she should
be oyertaken. If the maid out run her suitor. the
matter is ended; he never have her, it being
penalty for the man to renew the motion ofmarriagc
But fthe virginh has affection for him though at first
she runs fast to try the truth of his love, will with
out Atlanas balls to renew her speed pretend some
casualty and make voluntary halt before she comes
to the mark or end Of the race. Thus none are
compelled to marry against their own wills and
this is the case that in this poor country the married
people are richer in their contentment than in
other lands, where so many forced matches make
feigned love, and cause real unhappiness.

The EFFECTS OF IMPAuEyCE.-Nothing more in
capactates man for the lead than impatience. No
constitutionaly impatient man, who has INDUCED
his tendency, ever gets to the bottom of things,
knows with any nicely the standing disposition and
circumstances of the people he is thrown or has
thrown himself, amongst. Certain salient points he
is possessed of but not whatreconcles and accounts
for them. Something in him-an obtrusive self, or
a train of thought, or likngs and antapathes-wilI
always come between him and an impartial Judge
ment Neither does he win confidence, for he checks
the coy uncertain advances which are the precur-
sors of it. We donbt if athoroughly impatient man
can read the heart be a fair critic or understand
the rights of any knotty question, or make himself
matter of any difficult situation The power of
waiting celebrating hanging in suspense, is neces-
sary fo- all thesethe power Of staving off for con
siderable periods of time merely personal leanings,

one of the ladies who laid great stress upon hcc
husband being religious man "You say thgl

How COURAGE Is hPARTED.-A bold hopeful
man in spires courage in many weaker minds. for
there is something in the human soul that responds
to the call of a noble example. Mr.. Wasson says,
in the atlantic Monthly:

in a severe thunder storm, shrinking into the small
est possible space, said, trembling,
Mother are you afraid?''

our souls from the lips of a living fellow! Not, it
may be. that anything new is said. That is not re-
quired. What another now thrills, inspires, trans
figures us by saying probably knew before, only
dared not let ourselves think that we know it. The
universe, perhaps had not nook so hidden that
therein we could have been solitary enough to whs

now some childlike man stands up and speaks it to
the common air, in serenest unconsciousness of do

less power Of endurance in our climate than the
European. In hot counties he is better adapted to

'Of the free colored population residing in the
North we find them gradually but surely decreasing
in the per cent of increase. From 1920 to 1880 the
yearly rate of increase in the United States a
little more than SO per cent from 1880 to ls40, q
little more than per cent from that time gradu-

rate Of increase has been but per cent, and will
still further be reduced. The ratio of the colored
population to the white is rapidly essenng, and a
few years hence it will be almost inappreciabe, so
great will be the preponderance of the whites.'

He had said of those mighty societies of the
dead that they allowed no vulgar person to enter
What did they think be meant by vulgar? They
would find it fruitful subject of thought, and at
the last they would find that the essence of all vul
garity lay in the want of sensation In true inbred
vulgariy, there was callousness which became ca
pabe of every condition of crime, without sensa-
ton at ALL and it was in the blunt hand and dead
heart. in the diseased habit and hardened con
science, that all men became vulgar and were for
ever vulgar exactly in proportion they were inca

anda that deep ntensifcation which might be call
ed the contact and touch faculty of the human soul
They came to this great concourse of the dead
not merely TO know what true, but chiefly feet
with them what just and noble, and to feel with
them we must be like them, and have noble curios-
ity. 1t was not true that sensation was rendered
lead by the want of action it was the sheer stupid
y and license of feeling that deadeued it. When the
character was rightly disciplined sensation was pre-
cious, but must not seek tit should come from
its right The bad sensation did not rise out
of ones character. but fell from the outside That
they had to seek for, and for and its influences
were deadenng and poisoning. There was no dis
ease terrible that brought on by the pursuit of
sensation for its own sake.
