A little careful study of the mode ia
which a Sisagresdbie remark can be

to bea most useful sccomplishment.
Sach a stady, so far from checking, us
might he supposed, that spontaneous
expression of feeling which some value

uttered in a tone of such exquisite
breeding as to render it 1mpossible for
offence to be taken. Then why not ex-
d as much thought npon the smooth
ing over of disagreeable trutis which
should be spoken for the benefit of all
those concerned?
