Mrs. Soott-Siddons is qnotted as hav ing said : “ An American servant will tie on her veil in a natty, graceful way that an English duchess knows hothing about.” Mrs. Siddons will not be charged with an over-strained regard for the Yankee, or a wish to favor them at the expense of her own countrywomen. In thus placing the servant and the duchess in contrast she was simply emphasizing a truism which was less a fact at that time than it is at the present hour. For among all civilised people the English women are the moet ill dreesed, and seem to lack the natural gifts, the self- reliance and ability of choice and selec tion which are the inborn attributed of American women.

Travesty, bnrlesqne, and all the changes of the farcical have been need pitilessly and mercilessly from time immemorial both in the interest of political parties and political blackguards. When party lines could not be broken by the heavy guns of argument or the fierce musketry fire of attsok in front, the caricaturist has been sent, likes cavalry rider to the rear, or liks a spy in the garb of a buffoon, into the enemy’s camp. Sometimes the work of men like Leech and Nsst has been more effective than ar gument, and has been employed in as legitimate a way. But the sense of irre sponsibility, the license given to purely personal spites and prejudices, and the feeling of reckless jollity that at times in fluence the artist, make the work of even the best caricaturists uneven.

The charge was assault and battery.

This feeling comes but oooe, but the memory of it lasts a lifetime. It can never be forgotten.

As the song says, “ It’s all the world to him,” and why not all to the world ? It would be and is cruel to spoil the delightful sensations of initial author ship. They may be false, they certainly are fleeting, but tbe enjoyment, while it lasts, is an intoxication of delight, as first pleasant sensations are apt to be. The hint comes soon enough to the writer to discover how really' unimpor tant the event was. If he persists in writing he will come to be as indifferent to his appearance in type aa the world is. if a newspaper writer, he will we« the eternal grind, and forget what lie has written the day before m studying what to write for the day after. But no success, either as a newsps writer or book-maker, either as poet or essayist, however flattering, wul ever give to the author the sensation of his first appearance in print. It to, after it pc sans, a lost sensation, no more to be repeated than love’s young dream, with freahnea* and fervor. It to an ill exquisite to be duptooated in one’s ex «— c. to rest by the wav.
