Nevertheless, you must beware nf

The outgtisll Of bcncvocncc has ex.
hanstcd The capacity for action. A
few elegant cards are exchanged, and
there the matter rests.
In Germany we have the medium
between the two extremcs---a genial,
cordial manner, moderate proners Of
service, aud conscientious perform
ance thereof, whenever II is needed.
Acts Of kindness between strangers
are more common than In almost any
other civilized country. | once stop
ped for q night in a country inn in
remote part Of Bavaria. The dele
gate to the Legislative Chamber IN
Munich had just been elected BY the
people of the district, and they gave
him farewell banquet that evening.
In the midst OF the solemnities was
politely invited TO attend TIA place
was made for me beside the Presi-
dent; the principal pcrsonagcs pre-
sent were described aud then intro
duced, and before the meeting closed,
| received an invitation to spend
few days at a neighboring castle.
Yet ! was convinced that not one OF
tho assembly had any knowledge of
me, further than that wasan Amer
lean traveller. .t.
There is custom in Spain which
always seemed TO me 10 be the per-
fection Of hospitality. A SpanIard
for instance on entering a cafe where
be is accustomed to take his refresh
menis, will notice a stranger present
possibly foreign traveller. Call
ing one Of the walters to him he
quietly pays the strangers bill, takes
his own ico or chocolate, and goes
away, without ever having spoken. TO
the man he has thus so surrcptitious-
ly entertained. When the uneonA
scious stranger calls for bis bill he u
astonished to find that he owes moth
ing. In travelling by diligence from
Mexico TO Vera Cruz, found Il i'm
possible to pay for meals at the ho-
tells on the road, some one Of my fel-
low passengers had always done il in
advance. Ono Of them. q Portu-
gese gentleman, aiierward visited me
in New York, bringing with him 4
quantity Of the choicest Havana CT
gars as u present. 1fIcvor visit tho
banks Of the Tagus, | hope 70 find
him still living. Ifsi f
Inthc remote part Of Sweden and
Norway, whee there arc no accom-
modaiions for travellers, the cIergymen
are always cxpectefl'to entertain them.
This is sometimes a heavy tax upon
some members Of that ill-paid class,
but il is chcerfully endured from a
sense Of duty. Few houses, indeed,
are closed against the stranger, and
the poorest host oftentimes declines
10 take payment. often made 4
journey through France, under cir
cumstanccs which compelled me to
lodge IN the humblest cabarc,s; and
although few sous were required for
food and lodging, yet the honesty,
the simple kindness Of the peasants,
the little attentions they were 50 care
fol to pay and so delicate inipaying
were grateful examples Of the hos.
pitablc spirit. afM
