Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits of Travel, or Tales of Men and Cities Aurnons of what is intended to be (like the present volumes) light reading, are sometimes temptel to make prefatory acknowledgments that illness and other de pressing circumstances have attended the progress of their work. I doubt the policy Of this plan either in propitiating the critic or in interesting the public. It is very questionable whether the state of mind or body ia fluences the pen when it is able to move at all. Many a farce has been composed m moods of hypochondria, and the deepest tragedies have Often been the produc tions of the merriest fellows. But even admitting the contrary of my theorems, the captions reader is too fond of his privilege of finding faults, to receive a warn ing that he is to meet with them at every turn; while the most tolerant must be prejudiced against an efl'ort to amuse, prefaced by a desponding face or a suit of mourning. The better way' is, surely, to let readers be cheerful and contented while they may. On this prin ciple, I hope mine will believe that the following pages were written in high health, high fortune, and high spirits. With a friendly few, who may find reason to imagine the contrary, I have little fear of its doing any mischief.

We trotted in that direction, and the first thing that struck us was the fine figure of Phil, in a crowd of town's-people which sur rounded a squad of four or five Cossacks, who had rode into the market, got drunk in a cabaret, and were quarrelling together and belabourin'g each other unmercifully, with the short thick whips attached to their bridles. These savages did not lay-on each other more ferociously than did some cowardly scoundrels of the town lay on them, when two or three of them were tumbled from their ponies and lay sprawling on the ground. All the enmity of the vanquished broke out, and the Cossacks would have been roughly handled indeed, had not a gallant ally been ready, in the person of the English captain. Who instantly inter fer-cd, wielding his good arm powerfully, and making most un ceremonious applications with the toe of his boot to the rear ward demonstrations of the flying enemy, some dozens of whom ran before him in electrical dismay.

They. Slide over the smooth sward of national virtues, without re mark; but cannot see a pebble on their path without making it a stumbling block. They prefer what is Singular and striking to that which is general and passive. They find the former in national defects, for these, like indi' vidual failings, stand out in full relief. They are the beaked promontories, against which most voyagers are afraid of striking, which they describe with a Shudder, and fly from without examining. But each jutting rock is furnished with its beacon, not only to warn the stranger of peril, but to light him to safety in many a verdant recess. In the French revolution, for instance, the most marked objects, view it from what point we will, are its crimes. But if we boldly enter on the scenes of their commission, how much redeeming softness, what a fund of downy virtues may the mind repose on, to save.
