clination and kiss Of the hand held out 70

brace to Bonne Hnman. Our own royal
family is the only one in England where
| have seen this graceful custom prevail.
If young women and girls knew how
much charm and c0nQlGtterie there is in
this manner to their elders; how much
younger they seem, how their grace and
softness gains by contrast with old age,
they would not in their own interest in.

sorts Life first appeared, we all wondered
at the deep grief lie expressed for the
death of his grandmother, relationship
scarcely taken so seriously with US.
adorable et adOnee was the phrase used to
me only few months ago by a young
Frenchman Of the modern set about the
venerable mother Of his parents. 1t
must be said that the grandchildren were
often brought up in her house, and that
she being much younger than the same
relative in England, became almost a
friend and confdant to these young men,
who found in her that experience in the
past and sympathy in the present which
made her society as charming to them as
it was to those of her own age.-Nac-

Ways of the English,

saw much in the manners and Gus
toms of the English people that might
be held up for imitation, But what is
the use of speaking of itl Is the aver,
age American mind open to instruction
by any other people or tongue nnder the
whole heavqn2 And shall l not be set
down as unpatriotic and snobbish, if
venture to eulogize England and the Eng
lish2 Even so. But that does not alter
the fact. l do not want to change our
political or religious institutions: they
are the result of the ripest experience
and the concentrated wisdom Of precede.
ing ages. But as in reforming the Church
from Romanism the leaders rejected some
good things for the sake Of casting out
more than that was evil, so we in our
revolution have revolved so far as to re.
gard our own ways the only good ways,
and all that we left behind US as posi-
lively evil and intolerable.
The more communion we have with
England, the better we will esteem the
people and their institutions. Ifhappiness
were an object, which it is not, it were
just as easy to find it in Old England, as
in New England, in Yorkshire as in New
York. There is more and higher cul.
ture in the fields aud in the homes Of the
wealthy English than in any other coun,
try among people of the same social class
and to mingle with the intelligent Eng
lish people, in their eight little ISLE" is
one of the highest pleasures Of foreign
travel.
They are not accessible. They have a
reserve which they suppose to be digni'
ty. They get it from the existence of an
aristocracy, and every man, whether born
into the charmed circle or not, wishes t.
be exclusive, that he may appear unto
men to be something more than he is
But that reserve raelts in minute when
he comes into social contact with broth
er man. 1t is foible of Englishmen,
as familiarity is fault of our people.
An English gentleman introduced
himself to me at the hotel where we met,
and the few hours of my stay were made
very pleasant by his agreeable company.
Learning that was to visit the part OF
the country in which was his residence
he insisted upon my going to his house,
though he would not be there, that his
family might have the pleasure, sc. And
he made point of it.: wrote to his fam
lily that | was coming and when called
for a moment at the door, | was received
as friend, and they were positively dis,
appointed when l declined to stay and
enjoy their hospitality. Such is not an
isolated case. Another English gentle,
man did just the same thing. These are
in proof that behind that thick coat OF
digniied reserve there are just as warm,
genial and generous souls among Eng,
lishmen as in every other land where
Christian civilization reigns.-Dr. s. l.

AN INTELLIsENT MARE.-A liveryman
on West Madison street, Chicago, says
the Times, owns mare which hates a
policeman as the devil hates holy water.
The animal is naturally vicious, but her
particular dislike to the knights of the
mace originated in this wise: While
being driven along State sire. t, some two
years ago, the mare perceivng that the
lines were little slack, made sudden
dash through the crowd into Madison
street, knocking pedestrians right and
left. She encountered an obstacle in
the shape of big policeman, who ap-
piled his club to her "snoot" in a vgor-
Gus manner, causing her to sit down on
her tail. The intelligent beast seemed
to notice that the chap who dubbed her
wore blue clothes and brass buttons,
and ever since then the sight of one of
those fellows throws her into rage, and
she drops her head and goes for him. She
has become so rabid of late that when
ever she is taken out OF the stable she
imagines it is Tor the purpose of turning
her loose after the police force, and as she
darts away, she keeps her eyes peeled for
the ''peelers." Her owner says she is
getting so bad that he is afraid to hire
her out to stranger. ,

A MONKEY SToRY.-One of the best
monkey stories we have seen is contained
in London Nature. A brave, active, in
telligent terrier, belonging to lady, one
day discovered a monkey belonging to
an itinerant organ-gruder, seated upon
a bank within the grounds, and at once
made dash for him. The monkey, wbo
was attircd in jacket and hat, awaited
the onset with such undisturbed tram
quillity that the dog halted within few
feet of him to reconnotre. Both AMI
mails took long, steady stare at each
other, but the dog evidently was recov-
ering from his surprise, and about to
make a spring for the intruder. AT TINS
critical juncture, the monkey, who had
remained perfectly quiet hitherto, raised
his paw and gracefully saluted by lifting
his hat. The effect was magical; the
dogs head and tail dropped, and ne
sneaked off and entered the house, reIus,
ing to leave it until he was satisfied that
his polite but mysterious guest had de-
parted.
