A young man is never more certain of social success thin at the moment when naost other young meh never mention him withotH saying that they, " would like lo kick Liu." As Thackeray obeervtd in the case of PenJennis, that desire is the result of envy and of conscious humiliation awakened in manly bosoms. To provoke people so much is a ioken of superiority, and a prize of nonchalance. Nor is it ciocial dandyism alone which thu^ irritates the rabble of decent fellows who have neither the vanity, cor the impudence, nor the Birength of resolu;ioQ to win distinction. Literary dandyism is also excessively annoying io the rugged hod men of letters, the rapid picturesque writers, the half or quarter educated persons wbo crowd the Press, and carry their farrago of illBesorted observation to an uncritical public. Thtfle industrious peroons (releßt the literary dandy, the cdhd who ciiiads his periods, aud regards the cadence of his sentences aud shuns stock illustrations ami old quotations as the eocie.l dandy avoids ditty gloves and clumsy boots. They howl at him ac ihe little humorous street boys bully, some small Ktouias^ with a tali hut and v broad white collar, who has lost himself io Seveu Dials. This antagonism ' natuully breeds more excess in literary landyisro, till the prose of some critics ;s as iull of mu6k and milltileurs as the handkerchief of a popular preacher. Both parties arehardeaed in their ways; the rou^h-and-retscy pressman becomes careless of even grammar, and trois out bis quotations from Macaulay's eesoys more vigorously than of old. The prose' of the exquisite begins to die away in aromatic nooeaose, and his gieai genius tires itself to death in the hun « ujg tor rare exotio adjectives. — The Saturday lievieio.
