THE DAILY E s JS'G TELEGRAPH rirLLADELPIlIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1869. SOCIAL 1'tLNALTLLS. Tb presmr" of society upon the individual te, and must always remain, one of the raoat Important iubota of the anxiety of men who Btndy the oonditiona of human progress. In xeees it plainly leads to the most pernioions remits, ly stifling those eocentrlo growths of pinion and feeling ont of which new and im proved forms have to be taken and shaped by a process akin to that of natural selection among epeoies, and without whloh the exigen cies of oirenmstanoes must infallibly outstrip the means of satisfying them; and so a con fused kind of despair crows np in the minds, and stagnation in the nablts, of men. On the other hand, a defioienoy in this pressure leads to evils hardly, if at all, less grievous than those which oome of its exoess. That every body should be legally at liberty to follow hia own will in. the few purely self-regarding kinds of aotlon, and in all matters of leeling and opinion, is a maxim whloh needa bo comment nor confirmation either in .England or in any other oountry which has taken its ideas upon law from English institu tions. Thus mnoh is a clearly proven pleoe f wisdom which no Knglish or American law giver is at all likely to overlook. The law, we may be quite sure, will never repair any neglect on the part of the oommunity to punUU dlHBent from the ruling and aooepted ideas of the time. Bnt is there no danger of tula neglect ooonrriDg f no danger of their spring ing np largely an fndifferenoe to the claims of aooepted maxims of conduct, an nndar-esti-aiate of the value of social aocord, a passionate readiness of self-assertion, a foolish, thought less, and, in certain conditions of temper, a malignant contempt for the advantages whioh the social nnion oonfers even upon those who Lave moBt diverged from the beliefs which have been chiefly instrumental in binding our modern society together f If this bs so, and there are some wise observers who profess to entertain apprehensions in this direotion, then it is certain that the penalties whloh society that is to say, the majority of the oirole to Which a man belongs has in its power to infliot have lost their effioacy as deterrents, and that a growing number of persons are less and lees moved by fear of them. It is worth while to put this In another way, per haps; that the pleasures which society has to offer, and its, prizes, and everything else, have lost their attractions for many minds, so that to be deprived of them counts for less than it might do, or than it used to do. People of a oertain sort, and that hardly the lowest sort either, venture to encounter the disapproval of sets and circles to whioh they belong, be cause their approval brings no consequences that they are capable of holding dear. Iu other word?, opinion has not moved equally over the face of sooiety. ne portion of the world has pushed on or aside, while the rest has remained stationary and fixed in a little narrow oirole of ideas, pursuits, and pastimes, whioh the others 'have outgrown. The stiffen ing of social forms,' the ever-growing rigidity of etiquettes, the multiplication of fashiona ble shibboleths of speech and thought and habit all this means the voluntary self exclusion of a good winy people of indepen dent hnmor from a life which cramps, re strains, and infinitely wearies them. And the striking thing is, as we have just hinted, that those who flout society, and re treat to rural hermitages, or shut themselves up in solitary chambers or else, while feign ing solitude, enjoy companionships nnreoeg nizable by drawing-rooms are not by any means people of the lowest sort, either in in telligence, aspiration, position, or general social good-will. They are no muurais sujcti, out-at-elbows, insolvent, inveterate foes to the minor courteBidS, hostile to the tailed coat. On the contrary, in all these things they are found blameless. Thir bills are paid, their clothes well made, their Hues good, their salu tation and accost beyond reproach. Neither, again, are they as a rule mere cynios. It is not because they despise life, and its enormous tasks and tiny accomplishments, that they save themselves (to use a French idiom) from the favorite haunts of the majority of their fellows; rather because they esteem life too precious to ba given away to folly and grievous hollownesa. It Is probably inevitable that a little folly and a great deal of hollo ar nets Bhonld grow into communities that are Tery large, very rich, and, from their unmel lowed age and fundamental constitution, very artificial. But the inevitable is still very often that to which the best minds least easily re concile themselves. This or that may be no more than the necessary result of oondi tiona which no mortal man can repair or muoh modify; yet we like it just as little, and are just as little ready to submit ourselves to its burden. Hence, the more unavoidable you Show the artifloiality of society to be, not the less but the more are people whom artificiality revolts disposed to turn their backs on the scene, and seek simplicjty in solitude or else in a clique. It is quite true that in neither of these two resorts are they sure of finding what they seek, for the solitary and reserved man not seldom beoomes as artificial in his own Way as the dweller in courts and kings' houses; while in small cliques artifloiality in one shape or other is pretty sure to have a plaoe, and little circles of people with some special aim or principle to bind them together are notoriously apt to develop a canting phraseology, an eso terlo mannerism, a half-pious affectation, coin pared with which the mannerism and affecta tion of Fop's Alley or the Belgravian rout actually smell of Aroadia and the green fields. For all this, however, there is rather a feeling abroad that the true social penalties are what are currently styled social joys. To be invited te a great number of drawing-rooms is a worse fate than to be excluded from them. To be patronized by a great host of men and women for your merits is to have a more evil thing befall yon than if you had been cut by them for your sins. A wise man might consent never to be invited out to dinner, if the alter native were the position of a frequent diner out. It may be said, with reason, that the so-called pleasures which society places at the feet of those whom It delighteth to honor are not particularly pleasurable in themselves, but are the outward and visible signs of a high esteem and creditable repute among men. The weakest part of this conso lation to the temporary idol of those who dis tribute social prizes is that he sees them be stowed, far more Bteadily and lavishly than npon hioiBelf, on the mob of the mentally rag tag and tobtail who fringe dinner-tables and drawing rooms. If o be taken much notloe of, to have many cards on one's mantelpiece, to dine at many boards, and stand in many crowded saloons and on many crammed stair cases, be in truth outward signs of social 'grace, how comes it that they are still more conppicuous in those on whom we would rather have looked for a brand,' or the mark of the beast f This is one of the many trains of reflection which are leading some men to a froward and audacious oontempt for the worst penalties which the ogre of society is able to inflict on the self-possessed person. It is eullloiently obvious how powerful an instrument for the coeroion of unreasonable whimsicalities and unseasonable manifesta tions ol an ecoentrio and inexpedient person ality U thus thrown away. If the pleasures of social intercourse were more oarefully thought about and more wlel organized, then everybody who had not been born a Diogenes and the oharacter is mostly artifi cial wynld take as much pains as he could to avoid breaking with a body that bad so much to give him, and so muoh to snatch away from him. It would be a great misfor tune, both for the individual aad for society, if blandishments and Boolal joys were to trip men up in the oonsolentious search alter truth and elevation of character, or in frank and manly Pion-A.y '? there is nothing either discreditable to a man or dangerous to MJbodr else in a certain strong reluctance lo olleol the opinion or feeling f people about him, With whom he is aooustomed to live, and to whom he owes muoh obligation. If occasion arises when it is above a 1 things expedient that some person or dootrlne should be smit ten hip and thigh, then the unaulmons ver diot of the beut persons that have ever lived testifies to the need of sacrificing this rightful confliderateness to what happens at the time to be the more binding duty of proclaiming a truth or vehemently protesting agaluBt an error. Bnt the temper of our day perhaps attributes something too much of a merit to the discovery of discrepancies between one self and tbe bulk of one's neighbors. Men, and especially women, think less than they did, or than perhaps it is well that they should think, of flying in the face of old and deoent nsnge. They too often leave the beaten track, not pained at the pain which their diver gence gives to worthy Bonis to whom they owe many a debt, bnt rather as an ariny with banners, victorious and jubilant. They too often shake off the old things, not with a touch of regret at parting with what has served generation after generation of good people, but as clever men who have found eut a triok and an imposture. There may be many causes for such a hnmor, and one of them is the disre gard into which society has brought such pains and penalties as it has to nse. Bat this, after all, is only removing the difficulty a step further back. Why have the Bocial sanctions grown so comparatively inefficient r Why are average social pleasures so slight, and the deprivation of them so little felt f It must be that the world has grown so big; there is suoh ample room and variety that men have wider choice of societies than they have in simpler days and among more primitive communities. A man must be a deoided villain to be univer sally talooed, and on the other hand there are not many forms of eccentricity which he can choose to play at in which he will fail to lind playmates; and, lie has any just force of character, it will be no drawback to the pleasures whioh their companionship con fers upon him that they are not the vapid and monotonous pleasures of that lofty but far from exhaustive section which calls itself the world. Seen in this light, the complaint of the deoay of the efficacy of the social penalty does not come to very much: it only implies that there is no longer anything like a Bingle and uniform tribunal for that sort of diver gency to which the complaint usually refers. Out of the track of acts and opinions which universal common sense holds to be pestilent, and will not tolerate on any terms, a man may defy the opinion of one set of people in the just confidence that he is seoure of the approval of some other set. There i3 scarcely anybody in the world, and certainly not any body worth taking into aocount, who is not responsible to some social tribunal or other; only in our modern society these tribunals are vastly numerous whether too numerous and too individualized for the perfect health of the body politio, only very wonderful philoso phers indeed can positively decide. London Saturday Hevitw. London Street NnniONt The Metropolitan Board ot Works hns juut issued a Blue-Book which was really required, aud will probably save the citizens money, bi'nidc9 serving as a most useful Directory lor all people with extensive correspondence in London. So vast has been the growth ot the metropolis, that no Directory can quite keep pace with its street nomenclature; which agiiin, partly from the imperfect organization of. the city as a whole, partly from the practice of naming streets before they are built, and partly Jrom the marvellous want of inventive-TH't-s and taste which often uiatiuguifhes the successful 13iiton, has fallen into great confu sion. There are verj often scores of streets in Loudon of precisely the eanoc name for in stance, eighty seven John stree's and .though the comparatively novel and desperately vulgar expedient of dividing London into vast cities named from the poiuts of the compass and the relation of the points to the centre has slightly relieved the Tost Offico, it nun not relieved those who arc hunting after an tuldrebg. Everybody thinks his correspondent lives iuthu onij' street ol that name, or at best, knows ot only one more, whereas thero may be a hundred such streets, while very few indeed are absolutely uuique. The Marquis of West minster bus not had the grace to immortalize the very 'cute attorney ttuouijti whose daugh ter tl.e Grosvcnors obiuiued their manidcent London property, aud by an odd ireak of for tune the name ol Davie, who acquired tor them that estate, is recorded only in a single street near lierkeley Squaie; but toe Groove n ore, aud Btueelis, und Cavendish Bentincks have proceeded upon some sort of a reasonable sjtleui reasonable at all events as to names, lor us to descriptions their agents have been as stupid as auy suburban buildera. What on earth lhi-y originally tutended by the word "Place" as distinct from street, or what was their idea ot a lane as contradistinguished from a street, or why they adhered to the lour detinitioue, "square," "sued," "place," and "lane," it is hard lo un derstand; while there d'e at leant tiL'ht words road, walk, ride, route, cuu.-cvay, way, high way, aud thorouKUiare which would have done as well, and eight or ten more which would have done lndillerciitly. Hud they all been used, every 6titet, piucc, lane, alley, and court, touching or bearing towards any square, might have burn named trom it, to the inueiiniie sim plification ot London neoraphy. The people O! nuujpnlead roud, we have heard, threatened a regular trntutt ruther thau endure a change ot mine. Their mbiences are not i llampntead, but liariipbteud ha? a brt-tzv scuiid, and Ihindeu town has a marshy hound, and they were not poiug to loe tiicir xjik etvuulj chances of pioat from their nominal i-aldUrlty. There are streets with tissoelulious w in cli urc odonierous, and to fling other streets into theiu is ruinous, ami there me strett-t iu wbicii rents are rained by a port ot reflex scent ot lulilon.

Low much, seam, to put ai o.lur extreme rate, would it cott tie i-roprU'tojs of Lombard street if the board weie to change iu mime lor any other iUjapuiublu (iPtt:iiiion, Puclolus cuusenuy, tor example, or the B.lki rs' wuikf And what is true HEd admitted ol Lombard ttrect, ij true iu its di pree ol tva'V other street, down to the hum blest court. Then remember the locul inoouve me tee. Just lot uny one ot our leaders who is prcud of his originality name an imaginary meet, and then try this wonderlul list. Tti'i chances are three to one that it he hat uny idea in tbe lame at all it has been alreauy alopted ad nauseam. Most builders give up the effort in dPkpuir, at least that is tha way we should account tor three pages of "Groves," 134 repeti tions of Grove street, road, rotr, lane, plaoe, terrace, and so on, in bewildering variety of similarity; for some 200 I or ma beglnutn with Bark; for endless "films." 'Oaks," Beeches," aud, apparently, every other Ei gllsli tree eicept the laicbj tor nearly every fruit, and for every flower we have beeu able to think of in five minutes. 1 be multiplication of historic names we can account lor, though 13 Victoria Gottages ii ft large number, wheu some 60 varieties of street using the same anmiBt name have beeu allowed for; and the rojat lamily would uoi bo lorsoticn, etcn if ther were. not some hundred modifications of Princes load, Inclallog 85 Prince slreta. hven the run upou tie word "(Jloucpstei" 19 intoll gible, though rooie than one hundred repetitious ot it are inconvenient; but the simply of ordi nary male and female names requires explana tion. Do all builders name streets after tuo.r wives, or in compliment to their sons and dauehtot and are there 35 bjilrior wltn wives named Mary, and 13 with daughcr4 named Mary Ann spelt so? Thero are 7 place, roads, and streets called Emily, 4 Euiuia, 7 Ellen, 10 Kliea, 58 Elisabeth 23 of them b.-ln? called Eliznbelh place 19 Jane, 63 Ann, and o on; 87 John streets, besides "places," "passages," "mews." etc., without number; 01 Chailes streets, 37 Kdward strcon, 47 Jamei streets, besides 27 James places, 24 Frederick places, 30 Henry streets, a parre or so of Alfred with diffircot terminals, and so on, without end, for we have pnroosely omitted namoi like Oeorpo street and Charlotte Mrcet, which arc repeated even more frequently, but which arc probably historic!. There are exceedingly few odd names, though we come occuMonally aeroFS a Ituhamah plae, or Mchetnbel read, both in llackuey, and susgestlve of a Calvinistic builder ; but the climax of Imbecility seems to be reached In tiio name New Mreet. Thero are 52 New streets in London, either so named by the builders in sheer laxine, or left to tnke any name the in habitants ol the locality might adopt. But for the nnnies of psrii-hes, thee reduplications would baffle even postmen; aud as it is they are excessively Inconvenient on occasions such as elections, when all hoiiBttboldeis have to bo addressed. Further miiltiplictiion is now pre vented, but the Board would uct wisely If it insisted beforehand on some scheme of nailing streets based upon the ccoeranhical relation of the district to the rest of London. As we have said, they will probably be atrald to attetipt any radical reform; but there is one bit of Whiealsh Innovation, half radical, half con servative, which we beg to submit to their con slderatlon. Why not insist that the point of the compass should be prefixed to every exiting name, thus at onco dividinir thehuge metropolis into eight parts, and making the name itself identify the locality ? London Spectator. Miraculous Imprints. The Scythians, for instance, so Herodotus tells us, used to point out on the banks of the Tyras (Dnelper) the marks of the foot or Her cules, jnst like the foot of a man only two cubits long. In tbe same way there are various places in India, and one spot especially iu Cey lon, where the prints of Buddha's foot are shown, left when he visited the earth after the delude with Its gifts and blessings for its worshippers. Still more famous was the print by Lake Ite gillus, left by tbe charger of one of "the great twin brethren who fooeht so well for Rome." In sacred history, besides the footprint of Abraham already alluded to, we have at (jebel Mousa.the marks of the back of Moses when he i "fled from dread when he saw oar Lord face to face. And in that rock is imprinted the foim of his body; for he threw himself so strongly and so hard on that rock that all his body was buried into It through the miracle of God." Near the convent ot Mar filial is a slight depression on a rock something like the ficure of a man. Here Elijah, tra lition says, lay under the shadow of au olive tree, when flying from Jezebel. Very many of these impressions have been connected with the his tory of our Lord. For instance, there have been shown at various times the writings of His Angers on the ground, when the woman taken in adultery was brought before Him; His prayer similarly impressed; the marks of His flniiers at Nazareth when the people of that place were trying to cast Him down from the precipice upon which their city was built: and the feet ot the ass on which tie iode to Jeru salemjust as the foot of Mahomet's camel is pointed oui on Gebcl Mousa, though in this case the monks of St. Catherine declared it was their own manufacture to save themselves from the Bedouins. The marns of His feet in the Temple, wheu the Jews took up stones to cast at Him, which the Mahometans declare are the murks of their prophet when he mounted his celestial steed on his midnight visit to Jeru salem; of His knees at Gethsemane. as well as the bodies of the sleeping Apostles; those of Ilia feet as He was hurried away; cf His shoulder on one of the houses at Jerusalem us He was led 1o crucifixion; and finally, tho marks of His feet as Ho ascended from Olivet. torntill Magazine.
