roADYTNG TO ENGLISH VICE,

1t is believed that very few Americans,
whatever their social position here, have
been received in England, by what are
usually called the better classes there, with
half the cordially extended to the better
classes when they happen to be among
us. Very funny stories are told OF the
chronic elevation Of the eye glass peculiar
to the British aristocracy when some good
hearted American presented himself in
the reasonable hope that some old hospi-
tally of his own might be returned in
kind, the inference being that he was a
scrub if he happened to be rich and an
impudent fellow if he happened to be
DOOR, and that in any event he had no
right to claim acquaintance as a result OF
some chance American adventure OF the
titled parsonage Immediately involved.
But'the complaining person has no real
right to complain. 1t is a pretty good
principle that no man has right to ac>
cept hospitality which he is not perfectly
willing to return; but, on the other hand,
the education of the titled parsonage
teaches him that the individual without
title must necessarily be man without
blood and unworthy of profound respect,
The descendants Of the various chamber
lains and other obsequious walters upon
the kings and princes have a certain
amount of liberation for the shopkeeper
farmer, and other men who earn their llv'
ing instead of inheriting it, but no man
who thus earns is entitled to association
with them except as a social or somt
worse kind of subordinate. A British
aristoorat must be a burden upon the tax
PAYERS. He must be ruler, not con-
tributor to the everyday wealth of TIT
country. He must devote himself, if a
all, to politics. He must use his brains
not so much to earn money as to spenC
it, or at least to keep himself from being
overwhelmed by luxury or debt
We have existed more than hundred
years as nation, and day in and day on
the changes have been rung upon TIT
self>evident proposition that labor is dig
nified and honorable. We are a nation
of shop keepers, farmers, mechanics, an

Tie symptoms of that most distressin,

The symptoms of that most distressing
complaint, asthma, are difficulty IN
breathing, or power to inspire sufficient
air to fill the lungs. Although nervous
affection, it is also often connected with
actual changes in the lungs themselves.
The oppression in breathing is sometimes
affected by very slight cause, such as
changes In the weather, anxiety, fatigue,
errors in diet, etc The affection as a rule
is more apt to occur in middle age, and
men are more liable to it than women
