THE P0LITENEss or TIE AMERICAN
By the way, talking OF manners--do you
know il, good pcoPie!--are you, in particu-
lar, aware Of the fact, fair ladyl--that there
are no men upon The face Of the earth, so
truly polite and considerate--to woman
especially-as the Americana Travel the
world over, anl you will sec nothing ~ all
approaching to it. Among US alone is il
that man yields every precedence 70 wo-
man, ana thinks that he has no claim TO
accommodation, until every daughter Of
Eve j. comfortably disposed Of. John Bull
sits doggcdly sliIl---he has paid-he came
iirst-he plants himself on his reserved
rights: Ln jcHHe FrnHre, she does the
same, and is, il possible, more rude and sell
iish than Monsieur Rosbif. Neither will
abate one jot Of privilege but the Amer
ican--"lor lady, sirl''--and up he springs,
eyca 10 the loss of his dinner or to the
danger Of ride-oulside-in a pclting
rain. Indeed we have thus known him. This
unpublished American, as Europe says-we
have thus known him, and for a woman,
too, that he never saw before or heard Of

consequence, long weeks Of pain and fever,
struggling with death. The widest chiv-
airy could not 90 further in this respect
Than the daily practice of The American,
whether be be Of high or low degree; and
il should he woman's care, both on the
score VI policy and of gratitude, % encour-
age Jonathan 10 persevere in line of con-
duct which il 10 greatly to her advantage,
while il distinguishes him above all other
people. And this is best accomplished, as
above limited, IN never suffering an atIen-
tion-however trifling-io pass without is
appropriate acknowledgment. "BuckrIm
Ifig.diiy and haughtiness Of de-
meanour-which receives all such homage
~ d right, demanding nothing in return,
may. perhaps. tend 70 render jonathan as
selfish A. the Frsi Of the world.
