George Dawson on America.

Edinburgh Scotchman. Feb. 8.
Yesterday evening Mr.. George Daw-
son, of Birmingham, lectured in the
Queens street hall to the members of the
Philosophical Institute on America. In
the outset he referred to the strength of
the English in the United States, where
it was settled that our language, laws,
and literature would forever be domi-
nant. He had seen nothing in Ameri.
can institutions he would very much like
to import, but nothing certainly of which
they need be ashamed The loud-boast-
ing Yankee hardly existed the Ameri-
can gentleman was as cultivated aud re.
fined as the English gentleman, and what
were called the common people were
vastly better, with less rudeness boorish-
ness and vulgar self.assertion than in
this country. The Americans we're ieal-
GUS of one another, and the consequence
was that the manners Of the lower
classes were far finer than in England
or Scotland, and from one end of the
Union to another woman might travel
without trouble or insult The rapid
and extreme changes of temperature to
which Americans were liable told in
many ways, not only on their constitu-
tions, but on their Institutions; and
their climate tended to produce that
brassy sound and nasalty with which
they spoke English. The people were
thiDner-skinned more excitable and less
satisfied, less quiet, more restless and
more versatile than Britons. They were
proud of their free schools; but the diff.
Guilty was how far education should 90.
There was an absence there, as here, OF
any intelligent teaching Of the princi
Piles Of political economy, and the con.
sequence was that some Of the laws OF
trades were worthy of the middle ages.
But, on the whole, the schools we're good
well built, we'll attended and we'll
taught, with little tendency, perhaps,
to routine. The America of the
future must be in the West and
the seat of empire in the Missis
sippi valley There were excellent
low and high schools for the blacks,
but he did not believe that education
would make the negro a useful citizen.
Negroes could never stand against the
Chinese as lsborers; but what was to be
done with them he did not know. The
peril besetting America Just now-and
it was danger as great as any which
threatened the country during the war
was how to restore the preponderance Of
the whites in the Southern States with
out taking away from the negro what
they we're obliged to give him-the fran.
chise--or reducing him back to bondage.
The curse of America was its unspeak-
able political corruption, Washington
was a den of thieves, where the Senator
was bought and the legislator bribed;
and the whole thing was the biggest job.
berry this world has ever yet seen. But
he believed that corruption would be
yet cured, as it had been in Great Bri-
tain, and he saw nothing to prevent
America becoming the greatest nation,
and the wonder of the earth.

Aself.sacrIficIng A stster.

A young lady daughter Of promi.
nent and wealthy advocate, entered
convent last December Her burial in
a cloister was so sudden andunexpected
that her friends we're amazed. She had
everything to make life attractive. She
was handsome, accomplished, interest
ing, rich, sought after; was admired
honored, loved on every hand. She was
very fond Of society," too; or had been
until few months previous to her re-
tirement from the world. Superstition
had taken no hold of her; she was very
liberal for a Roman Catholic.
Why had she renounced all the bless
ings Of life for the grim shadows OF
convent WALTZ That was the question
all her acquaintances asked, and asked,
for awhile, in vain.
Lately the answer came-came in the
mysterious way that so many strange
things come. A physician, sort of
protege of her father, had been for two
years visitor of the family. He had
paid good deal of attention to herself
and her sister, two years her senior,
Upon her he had made deep impress
sion, and the impression was mutual.
With a woman's instinct she felt he
loved her; that he would ask her to be
his wife. She had vision of happiness,
and she delighted to dwell upon it, until
her sister, never suspecting the state of
the younger's heart, confessed her at
tachment to the physician. Here was
opportunity for sacrifice, but very
hard sacrifice. All the more, therefore,
did she determine upon it.
From that hour she avoided the doc
tor; made occasions for her sister meet
ing him; managed matters so skilllully
that he transferred his affections, espe-
cially when he had reason to believe
their original object cared nothing for
him.
! In due time there was wedding, and
I the brightest smiles that graced It we're
on the lips Of the present nun. The

heart beneath those smiles was beating
out the last pulsations Of hope. ~.
These are few of many examples
that might be cited to show how totally
lacking women are in loyalty, trust and
devotion. Even in Paris you see how
engrossingly selfish. how utterly heart
less they are.
