is what we, generallymtean.", Wheu.'we speak of
flattery, and this - is the kind which has got such
a deservedly bad natiie' *with moralists of all
ages. , •
The flatteries of men .W
to omenond those
of women to. men, are very. different in kind
and direction. Men flatter women for what
they are—for their beauty, their' grace, their
sweetness, their charmingness in general ; while
• a woman will flatter a man. for what he does—
for his speech hi the flouse last night, of which
7 - she:tuiderstands - littlel; - for - his booki - of — which
she understands less ; or 'for his pleading, of
which she, understands nothing at all. Not
that - this signifies , much on either side. The
most unintellectual . little woman in the world
— has brains enough to look up in your face
sweetly, and breathe out something that sounds
like "--beatitiful—charniing—sb clever,
'? vaguely

mystical-poet of the day, suggesting' to your
acutest readers ' , nave doubts as to your own
power of coMprelending yourself; or you may
be the most ',subtle metaphysician, to follow
whom in your labyrinth of . reasoning requires
perhaps the rarest order of brains-to be met
with; but, you will; nevertheless, believe carry
narrow-browed, small-headed woman who tells
you in a low; sweet voice, with a gentle uplift
ing of her eyes ' and a suggiestiVe curve of the
lip, that she has found you both intelligible and
charming, and- that she quite agrees with you
and shares your every sentiment.. If she
further tells you that all her life long she has
naught in exactly the same way but was
wholly tumble to express herself, and that you
• have now supplied her want and translated
words her vague ideas, and if she says this
With a'reverential kind of effusiveness, you are
done for, so far as your critical power goes; and
should some candid friend, whom' she haS not
flattered, tell you with brutal frankness that
your bewitching little-flatterer has neither the
brains nor the educatien to tinder
stand you, you will set him down as a • slan
derer, spiteful and malignant, and call his mu
d& eirgy, because he ha% not been so lucky
as yourself. The most subtle form of flattery
is that which asks your advice, with the pre
tenee of needing it—your advice,
yours above that of all other persons, as the
wisest, best and most useful to be obtained.
This too is form that belongs rather to
women in their relations with men, than the
converse; though sometimes men will pretend
VS want a woman's advice about their love
affairs, and will perhaps make-believe to, be
guided by it. Not infrequently, however,
asking one - woman's opinion and advice about
another is a masked manner of love-making on
its own account: though sometimes it may be
done for flattery only, when there are reasons.
Of course not all advice .asking is flattery; but
when intended only to, please miff
not meant to be genuine, is-- per
' haps one of the most potent instruments of
the art to:lie:met With. But if seeking advice
--is-the-MOst-subtle foiin of flattery, the most
toxicating is .that which pretends to moral
---- efevation or reform - by • your influence. The
-- -7 reformatio n -of nrake is - a - work ---- which --- no
woman alive could be found to resist if the
- rake offered it to her as iris last :chance of salva
tion; and to lead a pretty sinner back to the
ways of picturesque virtue by his (.1011 in
fltience only is a temfitation to self-reliance
which no man could refuse, a' flattery which
not . Diogenes nor" Zeno himself could see
through. The pretensions of . anyone else
would be laughed at .cruelly enough ; but. this
is one of the things where personal experience
and critical judgment never go in harness to
' gether—one of the manifestations of flattery
which would overcome the calmest, and be
wilder the wisest. Priests of all denomina
tions are especially open to this kind of
'flattery; not only from pretty sinners
who have gone openly out of
the right line, but from quite comely and re
. _
spectable maids and matrons, w ho have lived.
blamelessly so far as the broad moral tlistinc
tfons go, yet. who have not lived the awakened
life until roused thereunto by this peculiarly
favored minister. It is a tremendous trial of a
man's discernment when 'such flattery is offered
to him. I low much of this pretended awaken
ing is real? How nuich of this • sudden spiri
tual insight is true, and not a mere phrasing,
artffilly adopted for pleasantness only? These
are the.cases where we most want that' famous
spear of Muriel to help us to a right estimate,
for they are beyond the power of any ordinary
man to determine. 4lut if priests are subject
to these delusions of flattery on the one hand,
they know how to praefh.fe them on the other.
They take the flattery which, mingled With
occasional rebuke, forms the great ministerial
spur, and Revivalism and Ritualise Would flag
like flowers without "the, 'gentle dewS."
Scolded for their faults in dress, for their
vanity, cstraVagance, and other felninine vices,
are not women also flattered as the favorites of
heaven and of the Church? Are they not, told
that they are the lilies of the ecclesiastical
garden? the diVinely appointed missionaries for
the-preservation of virtue and godly truth- in
the world? Without . wholn the coarser race of
men would he given over to incooceivablo•
spiritual evil, to infidelity and all linllr~~r.dity.
- We may,hc very sure of this, that if humanity,
:and especially feminine hUmanity, were not
tattered as well as chastened, clerical influence
would not last for a day:
There is one kind of-flattery which is com
mon to both men and women, 'and that is the
.expressed preference of sex. -Thus, when men
want to flatter women, they Say how infinitely
theyprefer their society to that Of their own
sex; and women will B:iY the same to men.

than this. For, hi truth; they want flattery in

they hold themselves as the victims' f an un
kind fate, and fill the world with the. echo of
Itheir woes. .• This is nine-tenths of - the cause .
. why, great geniuses are so often unhappy in

• devotion, 'double that given 'to other men; and
when they get only Judah's share, they cry out
that they are ill-used, and make the world think
them ill-used as well. 'But though a little home
flattery helps the home life immeasurably, and
greases the creaking domestic wheels morethan
anything else can, a great deal is just the most,
pernicious thing that can be offered. The be
lief prevalent in some families that all the very
small and commonplace members thereof are
wonders and greater than. any one else—that
no one is so clever as- Harry, no one so pretty
as Julia, that Amy's red hair is of amore bril
liant gold than can be found elsewhere, and
Edward's mathematical abilities about equal to
Newton's—this belief, nourished and acted On,
is sure to turnout an insufferable Collection - of
prigs and self-:conceited damselS„.Who have to
be brought down innumerable pegs before they.
find their own level. But we often see this,
especially in country places where there is "not
much society to give a standard for comparative
measurement; and we know that. those fond
parents' and. doting relatives are blindly
,and
diligently sowing seeds 'Of .bitterness for a fu
ture, harvest of sorrow for their darlings. These

But it has to be gone through; this being one of '.

so often subjects As. The flattery met 'with in
society is-not-often-very-harmful-saveta-coarse- --!
or specially simple natures. You must be ',
either one or the other to be able to believe it. '

FRENCH AND ENGthAIDOE'DONL
‘!7. , •An English - Jourrial: pointrOnt !thlit there are
point§ in which nature -has placed us.at adis
advantage as compared withilibliiiier animals;
and theurshnple instinct is in somethings a less

find them habitually in situations from which
the most ordinary commonsense ought to have

this is forcibly suggested .by the spectacle too
often presented by the average bachelor English
man abroad - disporting - himseltinan existence
alien to his antecedents, among amusements
foreign tolls character: We :have our gifts as
a nation, but it mnst be confessed that vices"
and follies sit but awkwardly on us: The sturdy
independence of the national: nature has its
complement in an inadaptability which is all
angles when it strives to drape itself in foreign
graces. A ( I!t;enchman is the very. opposite of
this.-He shakes as naturally into his place in
the society of any foreign Vanity Fair as if he
bad been born and-brought Up in it. He elbows
the very natives out of the way, and pushes
himself into the place of Master of the Cere-
Monies, and no one - dreams - of - entering a- pro
test against what no one feels to be a usurpation.
He does the honors of the place in an utter
ignorance of the language.•. The Frenchman,
carries play into his work, while the English
man works hard at his play; perhaps seldom
with effort more sustained than when he tries
to coerce hithself into a dreamy, lotus-eating
repose. In one way or other the former must
get through a good deal of business, as the ag
gregate prosperity of his . country testifies ; but
his habits—protracted breakfasts in the Middle
of the forenoon, eoffee,chasses, cigars, absinthe
—are all so many cenipromiSes with his natural
inclinations. Snap the chain that binds hint
to his trade, and whether ler a Mere summer
holiday or a permanent retreat on his savings,
-off he flies naturally to revolve in a round of
lannuid pleasures, that are objectless and more
or less harmless. You find him the very next
morning at one of his own &cox, or the Ger- ,
man-Ones, for anything you see to the contrary,
the oldest frequenter of the place, dawdling
about it in lacquered boots without a
thought beyond the level pronienade in ,
the valley or the tables and chairs that crowd
the precincts of the Casino ! As . a garcon, or
even fts a married man when Madame'snback
is turned, he Lakes stock of the fair visitors,
' darting conquering glances at them with an
air of innocent rakishness that will not be de
nied, and a self-assurance that the shabbiest
clothes and the dingiest linen fail to dash. If
his stay be prolonged to weeks, his most vio
lent exercise will be a drive in the cool of the
evening under the neighboring trees; perhaps,
if of an unusually active turn, a single mounted
expedition to some more distant valley, with a
boy to keep a careful eye sm• Ids pony's helid.
Having swaggered his little season, dbourgeois
Lauzun or Richilieu, he goes away at length
after an innocent sojourn; unharming and un
harmed. But all the time there was no Mt
peaching the airs he assumed ; he can boast
fairly of having mastered the situation such as
it ivas, and shown himself the right man in the
right place.
-By way of companion picture, take the
roving Englishman in Paris ; and we will begin
with the language. The Frenchman in Ger
many does not know one word of Germannor,
if he did, could lie pronounce a monosyllable of
it intelligibly to save his life. But he serves
himself of his own tongue with such a luxuri
ance and eloquence of appropriate gesture that
he Casts the onus of ignorance on the native
who fails to imderstand Min, overwhelming
him with confusion. The Englishman knows
French words enough to answer all - ordinary
purposes, if he only made the most of them.
But then, he-lets-them fall. over his lips in. a
nesitating;ishinne=facedway, - while - his 7impas;. -
sive feautres and inflexible figmre refuse the
accompanying key. Be presents himself_at
once~as an object for contempt and pillage to
the volatile foreigner. He does not make in
dustry supply the absence of instinct, - nor take .
the trouble to acquaint himself with the salient
features of the strange land he has Strayed
into. Even did not speech and costume alike
bewray him, be would stand committed by
the blunders and hesitation that confess him
to be utterly abroad. .Entering a restaurant,
for instance, he refuses the initiatory courtesy
of raising his hat to the &tide de comptoir, and,
beside earning the malevolence of that lady,
draws all eyes upon hint, and proclaims at once
his social ignorance. Although not altogether
a Brillat-Savarin, the (guy' of his 'club at hoMe
regards him -as an appreciative critic. Yet
here, in ills evident confusion, he falls helpless
into the hands of ,a designing waiter, who sad
dles him with costly dishes he does not care for,
and an extravagant dessert he never eats, and
jeers at hint and his too munificent largess when
his back is turned. Or perhaps, having learned
front Murray' that the Cafe Anglais or the Trois
Freres are celebrated houses for breakfast, he
'astounds the myrmidons- Of theSe establish
ments with an order foreollee.and broiled Nun.
But ignorance; however emss, is scarcely crim
inal, and a constitutional bashfulness may ex- •
ease any display of awkwardness. Far less in-..
telliginle is the conduct of some of our country
men who aspirefor the few days, of their stay in
Paris, to be men, about town there. .We can
understand, if we cannot sympathize with, the
man who, never in any case sacrificing, to the
Graces, and stipreinely indifferent to opinion,
chooses to pass a day in a great ; capital in
shabby shooting-coat and Alpine boots, on his
way to the mountains with a knapsack.. He is
clearly slovenly or eccentric—a snob, a very
superior man, or a savant—and them is an end
of it: ; But the courts of the English caravan-'

now and then one of them, malicious and un
mated, attempts to -Upset the gravity, and mar
the chance of a more , fortunate sister, or one
of the latter lets her oppressed feelings twinkle
to the -stirfaCe in an arch glance' or rapid aside
'to the Waiter, as' lie froths the sweet Cham
---pagn-e-at-----fifteen-7-franeS,- whi eh- the -on- she -
is plucking pays for with the air
of a prodigal grand seigneur of' the
Regency. • His manly foot will be encased in
the thickest -of iron -heeled boots, and Is des•
tined, perhaps before many day& are over, to
tread firmly on the dizzy verge of ice precipices
in the High Alps. But were it to carry its
owner to the summit
.of the Matterhorn, we
should :say the feat scarcely demanded more
courage than this visit to the Garden, did he
only see himself "as others see him there. To
us the triumph of virtue seems to culminate
when she succeeds in making vice show itself
thoroughly ridiculouS ; but although he may
involuntarily serve 'a useful end, the situation
the sham road who points ie moral does
=
not seem to us an enviable-one.
After all, to revert from vice to folly, if we ,
humbly own the French and Gallicised Rus
sians and, Americans ~ to be our mas
ters in - graceful fooling, we ' may
console ourselves .with looking . down
upon others in turn. In a season like this,
when weather; and poverty have
kept strangers hi their homes, - the Ger
mans for Once have it all their own way in
• their own watering-places, much to the con;
tentment of themselves, and greatly to the di. , 3 7 '
satisfaction of the hotel-keepers. At the bath's
of Nassau, the Taunus - , and the Mack Forest
this year, even an Englishman limy enjoy a
hearty laugh with a clear conscience., The •
native women who peacock it on the lirorne-
nades, with their neutral-tinted hair and com
plexions, amorphous hats, pinched cloaks and
poverty-stricken skirts, look as if they nad just
risen from a thirty years' slumber in the
crushed head-gear hnd creased clothes in which
they had lain down, as if they were still stretch
ing their cramped limbs, and had not yet begun
to collect ,their . thoughts, far less make .play
With; eye or tongue. A single Parisian toilet,
with the verve, vivacity, 'and vaudeville-poetry
of movement of its wearer, would rile the self
love that lies more or less profound in every
female hreast, and send them off to despair and
the side-walks. As it is, in the happy con- ,
sciousness of immunity froth odious compari
sons,they are perfectly i lett iral,and happy,it may
be - presumed, after a fashion of their Own. But
to talk of the sadness of our English mirth after
witnessing a scene like that beComes an out
rageous absurdity., A French funeral in the
plague-stricken swamps of Cayenne must be
infinitely more exhilarating than the freest
_ Teutonic-dissipation-at-Ems-or-Baden.
A Remarkable behool-Mbaress. ,
Dr. N. True, School Superintendent of Ox
ford county, Maine, luts made a special report
concerning - u - scheonnist o j'ess in that - State - a:al --
her work. Her name ik_yeso, Howard,_and
She teaches in the. tqwniof Bethel. She is fifty
five years old, andints - ' tO7n - g - hti - SevenV tetans of
private and public school. Yet, says Dr True,
- she is far in - advance - of ;most young • teachers;
instead -of-being antiquated: The' following
are extracts - from the account of the School :
"She commented her afternoon session by
saying that sheldid not think it best to set the
children immediately to work upon thei r studies,
because they had been at their play. and were
not in the best condition for close application.
She therelbre took a second Progressive Reader,
andread a story as badly as she could, and let
tile:it correct her faults. She then read it correctly' .
and as one would talk, and all eyes were fixed
on her. She then called a register of scholars
by.numbers, who answered by their names and
ages. Among theta was a 'Winfield Scott, Gen.
Fremont and Wei .prominent names; and as
.they were announced she had a Word to say
about their history, without, scarcely stopping
her register. She then made them 'all take
their books out of their seats together, without
noise. No slates were to hit the desks, or
books to be shuffled. She selectS a captain for
each of the smaller classes, who steps out and
calls the class'out by numbers. Books are all
held alike. This Makes them excutive scholars.
"In reading, small children repeat tine same
w 4 Ord till they can command it in the sentence,
and then they read it in concert. In spelling
they all fold their arms, with the book under
the left arm. Sometimes she spells the words
and they pronounce them. This was a fine
exercise. She made them pronounce correctly,
cow, how, now, bow, row. They made a'grace
ful bow in leming , for their. seats. Each class
has a definite time for studying a lesson, and
the teacher calls their attention to it at the
moment.
"They came out to read with folded arms;
read with strong emphasis, and•naturally. She
makes them look, at *her lips, and..she pro 7
.11,ounces Words rOtIMI and full,and makes them
do the same after her.: , While hearing a class
reading :if a class is: studying geography, she
their.attentiOn: to some point
;in the lesson, and then g o right on with reading.
She; will call upon a scholar by surprise to rise
and 4EII something shout the lesson she is study--;
This' Was done with - great prouiptnesS.,
;This kept them on the alert.
"She has bouquets all aromid the room, and
maps and pictures on the walls, to 'make the
room look pleasant. Her order is perfect.
Not a: book or pencil is heard prominently.
"She questions them onwhat they have read.
In Spelling they 'give ftififiliar definitions in their,
laupade, and arc required to pronounce'
e fully and 'forcibly."

British Sentiment Against It.
The• Pall 111(711 Gazette contains the following
suggestive article :
"Those who think the Americans extremely
short-Mghted and foolish in . clinging to
the policy of protection:' will do well to
notice that signs of dissatisfaction with
the effectS of free trade are becoming
more • frequent here than they • used to
be. A popular . reaction against free
trade woUld be one of the most unlooked-for
changes of public opinion, but changes per
haps still more sttrprising have heen.witnessed
in our own tints. The American prejudices in
favor of protection, as applied to the regula
tion of their own trade, are by no means
so easily eradicated as most people
who have been born and bred, as it were, in
free trade principles are apt to imagine. At
this moment Mr. Horace Greeley is intent
upon proving to • his `countrymen the injury
winch free trade line done to the English*
• working classes. Some of our workmen begin
to take the same sort,- of view. .(in 'Wednes
day Mr. Ayrtoti and Mr. Samuda attended a
public'' meeting at Limehouse to consider
certain.,proposals- with reference to, emigre
, tion.- 'Mr. Wilkins,.. a working-inah, Moved

Same penod last year, while the shipments in

million pounds over last. - This large increase
in the taxes collected is the result - of a more
thorough compliance with and enforcement of
