With an English woman, love is a principle, with a French woman it is a caprioe, with an Italian it is a passion, with an American it is a sentiment. A man is married to an English woman, is united to a French woman, co habits with an llal. ian, and is wedded to an American. Ari English woman is anxious to secure a lord a French woman a companion, an Italian a lorcr, an American a husband. Tlio Englishman respects his lady, the Frenchman esteems his companion, tho Italian adores his mistress, the American loves his wife. The Englishman, at night, returns to his house, while the Frenchman goao to his establishment, the Italian to his retreat, the American to his home. When an Englishman is sick his lady visits him, when a Frenchman is siok his companion pities him, wijnn un American is sick his wife nurses him. The English woman instructs her offspring, a French woman teaches her progeny, an Italian rears her young, white an American educates her child.
