OF your birth, and meet with an Ameri-
cam Should your vanity loaa you To-
suppose that the reception given to YOU
BY ladies is the result Of your overpow-
ering attractions, remark how the fair
creatures greet the stranger next pre-
sented, and correct your notions. They
mean to put you at your ease-no more.
Presume, and you will be very quickly
placed in q digerent, position. You are
not to suppose that being addressed con-
stantly as "Sir" implies bad breeding,
or subserviency; and you will do well to
season your own conversation with that
word and " Madam" Bear in mind that
in the ears Of your American friends
you are speaking English with an ae-
cent?" so have some consideration for
those who-as you fancy-are talking
through their nose. You must be pre-
pared to hear good many words
used in a sense which is unfamiliar
to you, and to find yourself misunder-
stood when you employ others about
the meaning Of which you do not
entertain doubt. Thus "clever' on
t'other side the water does not mean that
the object is intellectual, or quick at ac-
quiring knowledge, but that he or she is
Cunning" Cunning (American) means
quaintness, with a dash of the winsome
in it. Thus a pretty, engaging child is
"quite cunning little thing" "Mad"
means angry. If you want to say that
sO-and-sO is insane, you call him "crazy."
Homely (English) means ugly in the
United States; and there, Venus herself
would be "ugly" if out of temper. You
must not say that the weather or the
room is "hot." Male birds are boosters,
and America has no more "legs" than
had the queen of Spain. Its people have
'1imbs"-four Of them. A "smart man"
may be a sloven, provided he is a trick
ster. "Nice" is not to be applied to
persons, and "nasty" is a word which
should be avoided altogether. American
propositions are not on good terms with
what are considered their subjects in the
old country. You live on a street,
travel on q train or steamer. A house
is "fOr rent" and a coach "tO hire"
Goods are advertised to be sold cat auc-
tion," and you eat jelly to your turkey.
If you hear an 'h" dropped or mall
treated, be sure that the speaker is
British. Such phrases as ''yOu was" or
twas you9" do not necessarily imply
want of education. They are conven-
tionalities which crop out even in print.
Upon the whole, if you take to picking
holes in each others grammar, the aver
age American will get the better of you,
for he has been well grounded in it in
the days of his youth, and the average
English boy has picked upits rules any
how" t."-

lrUsIC As 4 SOCIAL BORE.
London News.


Looking at music merely as a social in
stitution-M. Gautier would have said
social evil every one must notice that
the life of the non-musiCal man or woman
is being made increasingly hard to him.
No "shop" is nearly so much talked as
musical shop. and there is none which so
absolutely battles the uninitiated. Into
the charmed realm Of melody and har-
mOny no foe can enter by violence no
one by much study and long vigils can
Learn to understand musical converse
tiOn. This fact marks eff musical from
every other form of "shop." If a per-
san falls into the society of city men, he
is not perhaps at first very greatly edited,
but by degrees, and with pains, he picks
up some thread, some clew to guide him
in the labyrinth of technical terms.
Even a lady can understand cricket
"shop" if she has been brought up with
a large and determined family of broth
ers, and thereare enthusiasts who believe
that the minds of women are not in
capable of understanding the state of the
odds. All sports, and every form of
business touch life in some one intelli-
gible way; but talk about music to the
non-musieal does not attach itself to any
known or movable link with their Elk
istence. A man may have the subtlest
sense of humor, and yet be incapable of
seeing the fun of famous remark about
the counterpart of Herr Wagner, and
how it is like 3 number of persons jest
ling against each other in narrow door
way. 1t is not only that the unmusieal
man does not catch the meaning, but
that no amount of study and application
win teach him the meaning. He can get
the definition Of counterpart OF by
heart. but that does nothing for him, be-
cause the words can not be by him con-
nected with any impressions Of the sense,
still less with any ideas. To the non
musical, in short musical conversation is
transeendental that is TO say, gibberish,
New, considering this, il seems rather
hard on small, but not exactly de-
spicabIe OF nefarious class Of persons,
that musical slang should have stolen
into all the arts. A critic tells us that
the impression produced BY this or that
poem resembles the impression produced
by a motstt or a fugue. But 70 the
lover Of poetry this may mean absolutely
nothing, for many lovers Of poetry, like
Victor Hugo, dislike all music, and
specially the piano, How would must
cian like to be told'that the Deutsehss
Rsquiem7' resembles the third chorus in
the Agamsmnon Of Eschylus or Shak-
spsare's nineteenth sonnet
