With the history of the great fete given by Mr. Peabody at \\ ill's 't`ooms, (quondam Almack'si on the fourth of July of this year most Americans aro familiar. It was a capital idea, that of bringing Englishmen and Americans to gether in social enjoyment on the anni vcrsary of the Declaration of Indepen dence.

It was the year before -Wellington's death, when he stood peliaps in highest favor. 'No sooner was it known that his sanction had been given, than nobility and gentry, ladies of the Queen's household and Peeresses in their own right, got eign Commissioners and ex-Lord Chancellors 'vied with each other 'to obtain invitations to the Ameri can merchant's assembly. Of all the splendid entertainments of the season none paskAal off with more eclat. And on the morning of the fifth , ecif July Ocorge Peabody awoke to a fame of which he had never dreamed.

The observance of the day, more suggestive abroad titan at home, was kept up, and they served to increase the reputation of Mr. Peabody as the repre sentative American in London. In '1859, ;it the Fourth of July dinner given. by the American Association, among the guest ;it which was John Bright, Mr. Peabody was asked to preside. At first lie hesitated, and at length de clined. It was taking, a place subordi nate to that of Our host. Whatever of success the festival' might IifIVO would add nothing to his renown. Ile felt that preseinlivexight to give the Indepen &nee diviner had been niken 'from him. Ilesideslhellid„not sympathiy.e with the• eleemosynary purposes of the AsSocia don. In private charities he had never been profuse, and when an attempt was made to organiie these charities into a system he gave it no encouragement. It is no injustice to his memory to say that he never relieved the pool., visited the sick, eared for the Unfortunate, defrayed the expenses home of bereaved.widow and orphans however worthy, or helped bury the dead of his countrynien, with a willing 'heath lie was proverbially ,;lose. Upon a supscription lish'headed by the Queen and filled wish names of landed aristocrats and city dignitaries, as published in the Miles, Mr. Peabody's name might be seen. But no where else. Lord Shaftesbury's ragged schools, Henry Mayhew's prison relief societies, Miss Marshe's '• nabhy" hoines, L. N. ,R's bible women -who .completed "the missing link" between the Ha .and poor in London,' and Florence Nightiii gale's institution for educating nurses, had no aid from him. His charity never tlowed in hidden channels. It was nat ural, therefore, that he should decline co operation with the American Associa tion. Its object Was the relief , of eiti-• 'zens of the United 'States in I,,Londoo, who were destitutkand deserving. Gen., CampbeilWas its President. Mr. Dallas gave it . cordial support.

She was^ wincing with one of her ladies on the road leading from Naas Snnei to Potsdam when Iffie saw an old soldier, who had lost one eye and .000 area, sitting by the wayside? The old man looked very sad, and the Queen stopped in order to inquire what was the matter with him. "Oh, madam," said the veteran, who evidently did not know who the lady was, " 1 am in the deepest distress. I hard but one eltihi --a daughter -- 2 n young girl ; who untl/ recently was employed as a chambermaid at the Royal Palace in Potsdam.

Here you meet the men,of.fash-; ion, the men of the boulevards, downy. lipped aspirants for army commissions, students from the Latin quarter, but . above all, ambitious journalists. Access as a spectator is easily obtained, and you May go far and hunt a great deal' before ilndingoan exhibition which lets you so fair into French characteristics. There are many fencing schools of ail grader; of fame, price, and accommodation. There are little rooms in darlcsome quarters where you may learn, after a fashion, for a trifling fee ; and there are spacious, elegant saloons kept by celebrated mas ters of the art, where the prices aro rela tively as high avast those of Victor Hugo for his novels, or of Gustave Pore for his illustrations. These saloons aro dec orated in a fashion approptiate to their use. They have suits of armor along. the walls, elaborate collections of rapiers,, swords and sabres crossed athwart each other, pictures of tournaments, duets; and battles. But curious above all, arc the specimens of humid, mature which you see there, A fencing saloon is a lit tle theatre when: there are quite its malty originals as tu the best-of Sardiiit's com edies. The maitres d'armes, the awe of youthful beginners; and the admiration of the aptcst s of their scholars, betray in every look and motion their pride and conceit in their art, and seem to exhibit a sort of independence and. bluffness arising from a consciousness that they can maintain their ground against all. comers. They are the champion knights of the modern chivalry, and stride about their domain with munch t he same hauteur of physical prowessi which the knights of old used to show. Still their armour propre is not tmaimable ; they are bur ly, gay -good fellows and 16-aye fellows," devoted heart and soul to their pp,pils, and especially proud of those ho have pinked their man in the . wood of Vin cennes, They a'relOquacious, and if you' happen to gu in when half a dozen of the scholars ate preparing fur their you will Inv: the maitre. regaling them with vondin-ful stories, in which, lie is always the hero; never having, it_ you will believe him, been hit with rapier or foil. It, is "odd - to 'a - ateli the conntenanceq ok the pupils as they parry and thrust with monsieur-the maitre. The best masters use the foils without 'buttons after the pupil has reached a cer tain stage of Troficiency. Then it is that, • you may judge 'of the t•cal . quality" and , "grit" of the man.

Hypocrisy abandons -the-cOolest,--Tho-politu-adtd-polished-rnan of the world dissolve,s before your eyes into the true man ornaturb, cool or rash, timid or bold, cunning or - frank, sincere or subtle. A gentleman well knoWn as skilled in the art, relates that one day he fenced with what hea•cgarded as good results to himself. Ile tells its that he had a bout with a very extensive agent bf wines and liquori;, 50111 previous to the sport, haul offered to furnish him with some excellent. wine, which our academician had nearly accepted. The fencing _over, the narrator went to the maitre, and said to him, " I will buy no Champagne of this gentleman." "Why?" "Ills wine must be adulterated ; he de nies that he was struck 1?' He applies the Principle to prospective sons in law.

The art of fencing, as it is in France, has its antag onistic schools, as Well as the arts of painting and tellers. Those ,who prac tice the art as it was practiced half a century ago are called the. " old school ;" thesi who follow the system of the "re formers" of.fencing. Iteussel and hoses, pride themselves on being the "new school." The 11(111dt-cis of the art imag ine that, they see in it a 'rival or s ieform analogOus to that' which took place at about the stone period in MUSIC, paint ing, and literature. What Rossini and 3lleyerbeer wefe ill opera, lingo and St. Bettye in letters, and Pe la ;Roche and his emit emporariessin painting, Roussel mid liozes were in fencing—founders of a new eta. Fencing has had, says a French writer, `its romanticism and its contests-of schools." The " old salami" of fencing 'was in harmOny - with the old manners, the old , order of.society and regime. Elegance ;jaitl grace ..were its re quirements and characteristics. It was an ornamental and polite art. Did your life hung in the balance— youmust not be awkWard; • TO be " pinked" tvas a slight ollensO compared 'to 'falling out of the Him' of harm(_ y. A blunder was literally worse than death. The very language of the old fencing schools hinted their ideal to be classical and. " academie." When one went to take lessons, lio.wont to the "academy." A fencer could not former ly run in' attacking, nor drawback the .hand in thrusting, nor stpop, nor bond over, nor engage body with body, nor " take. a stroke in rest." That is in the tinie - 61tho " school," it was in verity, an art, having as its object, the harmo nious and elegant.

Between that time and this the yeara are comparatively notnunrytyet the gulf . of. separation is so beoad, in one 'Sense, that but for the splendid trlumplis of scienco and art which arch it over,, the. mind would with difficulty comprehend 'it. We had almost prqsentod the contrast as a fresh andlstriking-illustration of the an cient saying : TIME is short, Aril.— is long. Considered with, regard to . commerce alone, railroad enterprise has ; achieved wonders for Pennsylvania. But thecom mercial aspects, though everywhere and 'by everybody first and chiefly considered, is not the indst striking in which the sub: ject may be • viewed. The ..world will never know how much, of culture and Moral progress is due to railroad enter prise ; for the annals of the times when, railroads were unknown, are-like those of the' poor, "short and simple." But we may fialculate the burden of this debt appropriately. We know that the spread. of civilization was slow, and painful, in- I land, prior to the age of, steam. The natural obstacles to material progress • disappeared slowly. Now and then a bold adventurer packed up his household g )(ids, took his family, and bade adieu to civilization. With his axe he hewed Out his farm in the forest. Ile could raige enough of grain and root crops to feed Ids family, and by exchange clothed them in the plainest and not most com fortable manner. But all this time where were culture and moral advance. Contact with untamed nature did more for nature than it did for the pioneer. The struggle 'with poverty narrowed and belittled him. He became selfish and cynical. The routes leading to civilized society were devious bridle paths, blocked by rocks and crossed by almost, impali slide streams. Thus, for , years ; and when thc'"ulearing" became Tart and parcel of a "settlement;" .and a.. school was ,established; the necessities of, the family only permitted, possibly,. six weeks out of the fifty-two, to be devoted to the pursuit of knowledge;, - 'There are many persons living who owe more to the pine knot lire iu the old fashioned kitchen, than to the brief Opportunity afforded them for book knowledge in the og,-school - tiouses-of-tiftyle4*ag . But these hardships alikLuivations endured to the. threshold of .tbe 'age of steam. -And nolv,,,only qirly 'years re moved from the i 4 arliest considerable tri umph of art over nature, stories of pio neer life sound like fiction. The bonds which fettered entorprise were consumed like flax by flame as the locomotive sped from the seaboard' westward through the wilds of our great State. Thousands of hard handed Pione - ers.,to whom so much is owed—saw the development of this grand system of inland communica tion without comprehending its 'results. They had literally cut their way into the wilderness, isuftbred every imaginable pri vation, and glad if, at ,the end of each year, the narrow system of neighborlind exchange.left them even. To these men, heroes id their way, the locomotive was a miracle. - It excited their wonder and it H laid the world at their feet. They had heard of cities and great markets, where the products of labor commanded niumnerative prices in - cash ; and from. those markets the railway, like iron arms, stretched out and dropped the de mand of trade at every farmer's and me chanic's door along its course. Thus the"age of steam became the age of old to the farmer and mechanic ; but more than that—it bee:fine the ago of leisure. IL gave tei - Ake working man' 'time to think; time to educate his chil dren, and through all this, moral growth. 'l'lie railway has created great markets in regions where, thirty years ago, it was not thon;lit that man could live. And to-day, this great Commonwealth, so rich in resources, owes not less than ninety one hundredths of its facilities for -religions and secular education, and. the general intelligence of its people and its. railways. To the remote settlements they have given markets; and in advan tagcsfor mental and nuiral growth, the increase is manifold. So lit:canlty is it true that the locomotive is the unkeason ing apostle of growth; in the highest sense of the wend. Its very existence is elteptent protest against rism.— Tle IMMlN=lillii I believe in novels. think that, if they are good they are useful.

Bulkley was the first settled.min ister in the town of his adoption, Col, piaster, Connecticut. It was with him, as afterwards with good old Brother Jonathan (Governor Trumbull; the basom friend of General Washington), good to confer on almost any matter, scientific, political, or religious—any subject in Short, wherein common sense and general good to all concerned was the issue. As a philosophical reasoner, caenist and good corinsollor, he was looked to, and abided by. It so fell out that a congregation: in Mr. Bulkley's vicinity got to loggerheads, : and were upon the. apex of raising l‘the evil* one" instead of a spire to their church, as they proposed, and split upon. The very Dearest they cbuld come to a mutual cessation ofhostilities, was to appoint a committee of 'three to wait on Mr. Bulkley, state their caSei and got him 7 to adjudicate. .They waited ork 't.lo old gentleman, and he listened with great attention to their conflicting grievances.
