SNUBBING.

CFrom the Sr.innLui Jlcview.' )

What irf tliiit l! i:.;.; wii.i-h everybody remembers, which in Hie most i. ruiefu! i.t'iis on; lives sill benefits mill nvci'dlK ill) .:.Ti[';s ; ilew many a man construct Iniuse'.j'.-i n die in every mill I. connect undying aa-Oi-iutio:;* with his in:: ie, haunt innumerable nitworks. make iiinrX'if a household ■word, point it mom!, an 1 lveoin!; a standing illustration ? flow may he get himself thought of and talked of most lastiny [y and surely ? The answer is really too obvious. N;:i;;-ly by cultivating tlie art ofsnubbing, or. in favored iiisfiiiu-e.s. by merely withdrawing nil checks on n natural Was, and yielding to the dictates of an unborn acidity. It is an old wm-d, and was very approl>riatcly ii.sttl in other (lays io e::p;';-fs ;he wi>i:ering action of the cast wind ; "I>11 1 we make no apology for using it in it.-; modern and more familiar sense, us a melal blight, as ]:ip[;in;; our buddinp joys, and hi-cadiing it.-; c.;!d blast on hliraan jollity. .And yet, what i;s a snub, a'.'lur all, that it should brand itself so indelibly ? Why should we be more vulnerable to its attacks than to moee fbrmiuabie thrusls '( ]f it were anything j very seriously touching character or ere.lit, ii •would not goby that name. The word affects to be humourous, and the wound is assumed to be slight, and men are not- unused to plain speaking. Tliey acquiesce in the rights of authority in others ; and youth, which is especially sensiuve to snubs —which evpe-ricnoes ait the fever fit of shame at being merely told to mind its own business—make seomp.UTiAiveiy small account of more serious cenrure, and imlu'-ca-s in a playful nomenclature for the gniver forms of reproof. How does it giv:s more pain than many a j heavy rebuke from imartera whose, displeasure is j serious, considering that the mail who snubs d';es docs not primal i!y mean to give pain at all ? There arc people who are conscious and -proud of the faculty of giving pain, who have a morbid appetite for making people uneasy about them, to whom a comfortable person is an eye-ore. They feel the ' promptings of an impulse akin to that which made the Ko-.nau Kmperor, seeing a fat and a joyful senator enjoying himself in the amphitheatre, bid his attendants put a sword in that man's hand and make him light a lion ; and which stirs iv the domestic tyrant— Pluto, they culled him, and they called him well, For 'twas no Ilea\ en where he was please to dwell. But there need be nothing cruel in the man who snubs. It is good sort of people who are temp ted to it—honest, sincere men, who have a notion of doing their friends good, or disabusing them summarily of their faults, and shaking them ont of follies and mistakes—as when Dr. Johnson, the. great master of the art, turned upon one oJ his flatterers —" Sir, you have but two topics, yourself and me. lam sick of both." They go right at the offence against, taste, sense, or proprietary, as it may be, and have a confidence in their way o putting things so as, to confound and convince the sinner at a stroke. They are alive to two things —the matter to bo exposed and put down, an 1 their aptitude for the work. The feelings of th 'ir friend are the only p;;it of the question not taken into account—which, however, happen to be dene" to the patient than cither his friend's perspicacity or abstract truth, even though there existed no difference of opinion on this latter point.

When we endeavour to analyse it, the nrtnediate effect of a snub is to induce a fVoli:-g of deprivation and exposure. lis physical sensation is like the sudden loss of a aariuent. and the consequent rush of cold ; and we do in fact lose, in surprise, the snug covering of our usual self respect. We are dependant creatures. We arc apt, on the instant or'others not respecting us, to feel ourselves not respectable, small, inferior, incompetent, unable to hold our own ; and hence tlie main annoyance. Thai, which predominates in a snub is the pressing difficulty of bow to take it. We are caught at unawares wiihout our weapons. There arc assaults and aggros-ions of a nature to rouse our courage and to nuickun our powers—which call f;>r and suggest an answer—which may b.j r-isc-ntud on the spot without injury to our dignity ; but this is not rnu of them. All that can b;; dme generally nnder a snub—all, at leas', (b;it «c actually clo—is in put up suddenly with an inner blank senss of tingling, a doubt as Io where we arc, a eovifased feeling of having the wovit of ir, which our instinct, teaches us to Uq:?\> to ourselves as ni'K'b :m< possible. For it must lie noie.'l lhat a snub is of necessity a sudden blow, givel.l: when we are at a disadvantage, careless and at ea"e in the socuriiy of social intercom-si.1. Rn;.'iiil invcivuursu (akus sympathy for gi-anled. .It as».u;iH'-i ens aeoer:! genial sentiment—a disposition to follow a had, to pursue subjects in the spirit in which, they are started. A snub is a oheck, a blank —ir. is a curtain suddenly drawn down—k ir, pjilliu-; u;> against a doarl-wai!—it ir. cold obstruction c.d recoil. Either the smibV'r has antliortiy on his side, and we have Laid curse! yes open by s;i:'.ia inadvertence, by a misp'.act: 1 tvu-t iv bis coiilyriesnr.l.in—

and we have seen paiv-n.'s p'iinf-il'y r,:mh their children in this :;ovl. first alow tliniii liberties, then stop them with a harsh check in mkl-rear of spirits, and in ihe presence of si rangers—or perhaps we have given way to enthusi,i"in, and are

met by ridicule. Or we have infide a confidence which we think tender, and it is received with indifference. Or we te-i a story, ami sire a4:ed for the point of it. Or we are (riven to uiHorstand that we are mr-f;iki'n whe"e wo have assumed ourselves well informed. Or our In sic is coolly set at nought; or we talk, stud are reminded we are prosy ; or we are brought f'aco-to-face with ouv ignorance; in a way to make vis f?ol if most keenly. The strength of s\. snub He; in the sudden apprehension that we )<;:ve committed ourselves, and a consequent painnsl ?e;:se oi's^'ignificanec—that there is somebody quite close lo us, regardless of our feelings, looking down upon us, and ostentatiously im?ymp;;ih;>:tng. This is an elaborate description of' piTh:i])* a momeniayy sensation following on an encounter probably as short, after which each-party may seem to pursue his way unconscious ; but in hnnrin nfliiirs time I is not the measure of importance, and one of the two .it least treasures a -memory of it in his heart bearing no proportion whatever to the timeitto:>l: in acting. Perfectly collected and self-K!itisvk'd persoeresa impervious to siiu'ts. Sam \Wl!er is repre-:niehi as receiving o)ie from his master (we need not say well merited) with perfect smil nij,serenity So are the happy few gifted v.-ith tlie power of repartee and rejoinder, who nwy be called sociiil debaters, whose glory is a!i fmorgency, ivho cai eolleot their powers on the instant, and '• give the check they take" with usury. When M Scribe, according to the newspaper story, answered the niilHonaro who wauled him to lend him the use of his >fsnius for si consideration that it was contrary to Scripture for a horse ("so l;c wrote it) and an ass to plough together, it was a perfectly fair snub. The man deserved finything he got, hut he must have telt triumph rather than mortification when, on the spur of the moment, he could demand what right had M. Scribe to call him a horse- But these cii;;es are too few to be laken into i:c mint, f>nd the practised -:iinhber has generally the game in his own hand, »nd secures a victory. If morals are his forte, be will have demonstrated i|ow much more prompt sive

his moral instincts than our own, how o.iick !ic is to discover (he right which our dul'e.-i perceptions or stolid selfishness had missed. If his line is intellectual, he will have reminded us of our ! illogical habits of thought and our bounded views j compared with his keen 'intelligence and clear | judgment. If life find manners are his care, he will have convicted as of mistakes, awkwardness, solecisms -, if information and general knowledge, lie will have succeeded in impressing us with a sense of cur deficiencies; if taste, he will take cure to show v;: that there is nothing he values so slightly as our opinion. The natural human sensitiveness is constantly lost sight of by quick and clever people, is clear even from fiction. In the dialogue of most novels, we find snubs which could not be inflicted in real intercourse without bringing all intercourse to sin end. Ail historical conversations professing lo have actually taken place—from Canute's reproof to his courtiers to the " Sir, you don't know the ! poor figure you make," quoted by I.T icaulay— i foster the delusion that mankind wiM stn •' ; Wounds to their selt-iovo which they wi'i ■ stand ; and the siiubbors uv.iy thus be tempt. ' -..> try experiments, which, in spile of momentary triumphs, end in their own real defeat. There are men exemplary in all the duties of life, who never pass a day without snubbing somebody—of course their wives (natural vic!:i>iis used to be told that they say nothing right.), their children, their servants, their underlings, their acquaintances, their associates. Every day something has passed their lips which has acted like a blow at the time, and worked 0:1 the recollection like a blister—which has been repeated with querulous soreness and bean p.-.-wtfl o;i t» the worlil as a fresh trait of ••hiu-iici-.-v—vvhijii ha; a-U :>l to the growing barrier wiiici? da-iy ri-"(•■"• !■'. t-.ve.vn tbe man and his spjeio-s.

I sudden wound on your .friend's self-love. Do not i put him Oil your behalf on the duty of Christian ! ibrgivcuiss. Allow him to rest in f.o;uc ignorance of your opinion, even though he may believe it more to his advantage, than it happens to be. Submit to be. incomplete. ;'s;aeriliee the. pleasure of being sharp and acute at his exj.en.se ; for it is \cry cert-sin that he will not like yon the better, 1 and very unlikely also that h: should himself be ! the better, for your having made him feel like, and perhaps look like a fool. If he is often put under the apprehension of if, the least that v:m lie expected of him is, that he will cseiicw you- confidence, and carefully keep on the wi;:dv side of I inrimney. Here lies the. secret of so many charges of iijgi.iii tilde—of benefits forgotten, of unrequited, unvalued sacrifices. Not that a few, or even a series I of iii-con.^dercd, unpalatable words ought to coim- | Unbalance rail service.;, but that they pat human nature to strain which too severely tests its weak points. And there :.■ this to be ssM—that con- ! iompt, of all tilings the hardest to boar, is, if we I go to the bottom of it, Ihe motive force of most snubs. The practice is certainly incompatible with a respectful luibit of mind. Our .friend is iv a hurry to Id! us that our judgment i;; worth nothing, that our expression of it must be stopped, that we, or something about us, must be put clown. As we think over the matter, the examples that lirst occur eo;ne from eanieniptr.ous mind", —men without deference, who are accustomed to lean upon themselves, who do not expect to find much in other people. We do not find, them appealing to others, or wishing to know their thoughts, or willing io follow oiit their speculations, or listening to their suggestions. They live and think alone, impatient of interference and interruption, and nourish some notions themselves which practically, thoiigh ii may nut iuk-j the form of vulgar arrogance and vanity, sets them above ihe possibility of benefit from the crude, unformed, untaught hiie.ligences around iiie;n. Indeed, it is their impatience of other men's ideas and conclusions which ]cj-uls fiiciu to commit tlumselves. A.nd H is to be observed, that such men never do see others at their best. A pjrson of ordinary modesty, not gifted with self-reliance, not confident of his position, cannot show him ;elf to advantage under NiKiii circumstances ; ana thus men are encouraged in their self esteem by the eonsequenees of their o.vn ungraciousness. Xobo iy is Unite hiu-.S'-'.lf before th-Min unless he. is also pa-it. (lie possibility of an O[K?n show of contempt, though s\L'n tiii.s iinmutfitv depends on the rank of the sunbber. The Duke of Wellington couid tell an t-.ui, his colleague, "You are over-educated for your intellect ; ' and when wit and learning we:e rank, Warburrori and Swift could and did snub tiU ihe woi'l-1. if our remarks lack the. ji:i.i;%Mi^y of iip]>ropriate iliustratioiij, it is not because apt exaripits do not crowd upon us. We could till columns whh thwii—the coHegi.ite, ihe sbeutl, Die domestic —all of tivjm very much to the purpose, and some very amusing ; but. as we have said, these arj ju.-l thu luings jieople never forget. Disguise them a ; we would, they would be tniceu r_o their rigiit si>::rve. ;i:\'.\ the sanctities of private life must i;e respected. tiioa;>!iovir dlsiiuisiion lose h.iilf iia vaiiij ancl all its iiwliness by the sacrifice.'
