An IntslIIreni TourIsl.

From the New York NstiOH.l
In 1869 q French pianist, proprietor Of
the Polish name Kowalski, made q con-
cert tour through the United States. We
have his word for it. Personal knowl.
edge Of the fact, even from hearsay,
have we none. Returning home, he ex.
periences the necessity Of writing ont
and publishing his impressions Of travel.
Many of the impressions are amusing,
and much Of the information he i'm
parts TO his countrymen is startling.
Thus:
"In every other country men make
Love to young women, but in the pres
euee of the parents, who closely watch
tbeir interviews. In America there 10
no surveillance, the young girl makes
free use Of her liberty, and accepts the
attentions of the young man, who
from this moment is her 0EST. This Is
called Rirfer, from furty, an English
~ord signifying 10 make love-, etc.

FIirtinga a Fina Art.

The science of society amounts to little
true art unless certain genius goes
with the knowledge; and who will deny
that there is certain natural gift for So
cial influence, as there is for all beauti-
full arts2 Some persons have rare So
cial witchery who have not any other
form of genius, and some women, of very
moderate abilities in other respects, have
an art of pleasing that amounts to fasci-
nation. One woman in famous attire
will gather a great crowd of notables in
grand house and give them a great
supper, and all shall be flat and dull;
while some winsome little body, without
any flashy costume or parade, and even
without rare beauty, will entertain her
circle of guests in charming way Of her
own, and make them all at home with
her and each other. She plays upon the
various tempers and traits and associa-
tions as master hand plays upon the
harp or piano. / have sometimes
thought that womanly charm, and per
haps even what in the best is called
flirting, could be made one of the
fine arts, and consecrated to charity,
and even to religion. That bright girl
takes that half dozen striplings in hand,
and touches each in turn with playful
grace, until they are willing captives to
her spell, and ready to buy her pin,
cushions or watch chains at the fair, or
20 TO her church and worship by her
prayer book. There is line, indeed,
beyond which this flirting ceases to be a
fine art, and becomes quite business
like and utilitariau, n practical opera
ton in making market and bagging a
busband-a useful but not always ideal
result Yet, as the world goes, a great
deal Of true missiougry work is done BY
charming women In managing men IN
an artistic and legitimate way, and the
Virgin Mary has net all the work Of
such intercession in her hands or in her
eyes, although Henry Heine naughtily
called haT the counter girl Of the Catho-
lie church, who Uan over the Goths and
vandals. DR.. Samuel 0sgood, IN Har-

An EngIisnman ON Mr.. Beecher.

From the London illustrated Review.
At the door of the church we eneoun-
tered deacon. Having expressed our
desire as an English traveller about
quitting America, to hear the eminent
preacher, we we're politely ushered into
pew, from which, owing to the number
of people in the adjacent aisle, it was
impossible to get extricated until the
conclusion of the service. Ere many
minutes the place became choked, SO to
speak. Then the organ pealed forth.
During the voluntary tall, gaunt gem
tleman, in black morning costume, and
black cravat to boot, walked hurriedly
upon the platform, there being no pulpit
II his manner was ungainly, his appear
ance was impressive. When a hymn
had been sung Mr.. Beecher engaged I"
in prayer. 1t had the merit of being ex-
temporary and commonplace-yery.
Nothing could have been so cold or un-
inspiring. 1t was we'll suited TO the con-
venticle, being, so far as we could judge,
destitute Of thought and sentiment. Then
ensued Scriptural readings. Another
hymn followed, during the singing
of which the whole congregation re-
mained comfortably ensconced in their
cushioned seats. In due course came
the sermon-and such sermon We
were not ignorant that the preacher
failed in his attempt to interest a large
gathering in Exeter Hall during his visit
to this country and that the Thunderer did
not notice his performance favorably.
Still we listened to his teaching without
the slightest taint of prejudice, as we
would listen to Mr.. ,,Spurgeon were we
for the first time in his Tabernacle. We
we're brimful of expectation. But alasl
for our disappointment, although suffer
ing from no fit of indigestion. Dare we
say it2 The preaching was quite on q
par with the prayer. Both in subject
matter and in arrangement, it was be-
meath mediocrity; in delivery, shocking
We were struck by the coarseness of one
sentence of the discourse, wiz" Some
say lawyers can't go to heaven. It's a

can't 90 to heaven. It's a liel

ing heavily with his right foot the
withdrawing tremendous dust, in or
der to render his rapid oratory the more
taking. And this is the apt apostle of
the Brooklynites, cogitated we, whose
name is not enly known in all the
churches" but the sittings" in whose
synagogue are periodically submitted to
vulgar auction, for some Of which fan

sirous of becoming followers of-Ward
Beecherl Popular preachers in more
places than New York, or the city adja-
cent, take good deal of verbal veneeriag.
But sometimes the mahogany or rose
wood coating falls off, when the inferior
stuff upon which it is glued shows in all
its deformity. Is it inyidious to observe
that a like tendency is evinced in this
country to regard the shadow more than
the substance, and for Christian people
to run after sham and sensation more
eagerly than after divine truth or Chris
tian doctrine2
