COBVEPSATION;
An Essay Read by Miss Enxi, M. Gras, bcfore
the Bradford thutdy Teachers' Association,
at East Smitlyrteld, Feb. 9. ,
It need not be said' how deficient
we are, as a people, in the habit and
power of conversation. Let us come
directly to this subject, conversation:
its elements, itsresonrces, its results.
The first element of good conversa
tion is simplicity of manner. Many
excellent people nettle us like poison
by their pedantry, their stilted_pre
tense, or lisping affectation. They
must either bme us with unmeaning
details, or starch up a set of empty
words into what they would call po- .
lite or scholarly language; or try to
convince us of their accomplishments
by their mincing or_ their draw.
Follies like these are often indulg e d,
but they spoil conversation; and we
judge such persons as either too
bashful to be natural, or as playing
a false part and aiming to pass for
more than they are. The second ele
ment of good conversation goes with
the first, and it is common sense.
You never saws person who brought
this quality into the drawing-room,
that was not respected by realladies
and gentlemen, and heard with real
interest and enjoyment. It is this
which makes, the conversation of far
mers and woodsmen relish so. well.
They are unaffected. They are frank
and earnest. Their:lse short words
and terse expressions, and go right
to the heart of a subject. If the
words are homely and the grammar
bad, you enjoy their solid thoughts,
and crisp phrasm as you do roast
beef and celery. The next elements
of good conversation aro wit and hu
mor. Those are indispensable. We
often meet persons of great accom
plishments who entertain us without
the spice of wit and the flavor of hu
mor, but the entertainment is not
sufficing. There is a love and a de
mand for these even in minds that
cannot express them; and the person
Who has most wit and humor gathers
the largest. circle around him. Let
us, then, if we wish to have lively
conversation, cultivate wit and 1111-
mar. They can be cultivated. and
while we give no quarter to slang, or
affected smartness, while wit and hu
mor shall be confined to their just
time and place, and we never joke or
banter on sacred things, while each
defers to others in refined and gentle
courtesy, and no one interrupts an
other, or talks more than his part,
we shall have the elements .of true
conversation; our good sense - will be
strengthened'by mutual exchange of
thoughts and feelings, our wit will be
improved, and our humor made More
genial and en, our sphere of
life will be enlarged and enlightened,
and we can give an influence to soci
ety which will elevate and gladdsn.
Secondly, the resources of conver
sation. We need the best culture we
can get. We should come together
with the best thoughts and feelings,
which will soon create their own bon
gusge, and select the beat man. of
utterance. We ought to know a
tle of science and history. We ought
to unite our hearts at least with the
learned `associations of our countr . y,
and treasure each new fact they give
to the world. We ought to study
our magnificent scenery. We ought
to study our laws and institutions,
and • talk intelligently about them.
We. ought to converse about our
schnila and rairinsi. These are some
ef the resources of conversation.
With a know ledge of these; and with
our hearts in our knowledge, our
minds wiltbeam with thoughts; and
our thoughts will flow in our conver
sation. What excuse has any one
for not having these resources? - "I
have a poor education," says one,
" and I have not these resources."
"I am bound to my business," Says
another, " and I ca n not find time for
study or reading." " I am waiting
to get rich and retire," says another,

resolutions passed to that effect. The

mug wind is peevishness; it is mental
rheumatism and grumbling and
curls one up in the chim' nereorner
like a cat. And if the .47 ever

in that quarter. The south wind is
fall of longing and unrest, of effemi
nate suggestions, of luxurious else,
and perhaps we might say of modern
poetry—at any rate, modern poetry
needs a change of air. I anrnot sure
but the south is the most powerful
of the winds, because of its sweet
persuasiveness. Nothing so stirs the
blood in spring, when , it cornea up
out of the - tropical latitude; it makes
men " longen to gon on pidgin:nen*
"I did intend to insert here &little
poem (its it is quite,proper to do in
an essay) on the south wind, com
posed by The Young Lady Staying
with Us, beginning : •
'Out of a drifting southern eland
My End heard Um night-bird cry--'
but it never got any 'further than
this. The; Young Lady said it -was
exceedingly difficult to write the next
two lines, because not only rhyme
but meaning had to be procured.
And this is true; anybody. can write
first lines, and that is probably the
reason we have so many poems which
seem to have been hegun in just this
way, that is, with a south-wind-long
sing without any thought in it, and it
is veryfortunate when there is not
wind enough to finish thorn. This
emotional poem, if I may so call it,
was begun after Herliert went away.
I liked it, and thought it was what is
called "suggestive ;" al s tlmh r did
not understand it, e • y what
the night-bird was; an d
I am afraid
I hurt the Young Lady's feelings by
asking her if she meant Herbert' by
the "night-bird," a very absurd sug
gestion about two unsentimental
people. She said, "Nonsense;" but
she afterwards told The Mistress
that there were emotions that one
could never put into words without
the clang& of being ridiculous a
profound truth. And yet I should
not las to say that there is not a
tender lonesomeness in love that can
get comfort out of a night-bird in a
cloud, if there be such a thitig. Anal
ysis is the death of sentiment."
HOW ITAITREII ARE MADE.
Deslarte, a gifted Frenchman,
studied forty years to arrange a sys
tem (that could be taught) by which
any emotion of - the soul could be de
picted in the face. Siddons, Telma
and Bachael were among his pupils.
Their power of expression proves the
success of his endeavors.
In Delarte's system, says :the car
rent number of the Herald of .fleatih,
the eye and the month monopolize
the expression of the face) The
month does this chiefly because of
the forty muscles that make the face;
twenty of them focalize at gib mouth,
especially at its arigles. Of these
twenty muscles, a majority of them
pull up the corners of . the mouth.
And yet any audience of people will
,show that vastly more mouths are
turned down at the corners than are
np at the corners. A distressing
feature in the aged is the drawn-down
corners of the mouth.
Now and then one meets a face
whose upward and inward month
curve tells eloquently of a kindly dis
position,and utter sweetness of char
acter.. May there not be some recipe
for securing ths upward curve to the
mouth-angles? Let us see. Ex
pression is the Outward sign of in
ward life.Expt+ esri on is the feature
in the making. Given a set of these
outward signs for a sufficient term
of months or years, and we have a
set of features that indicate what is
going on within, or rather what has
been going on within.
The whole tribe of depressing pas
fretfullness, mel
ancholy, fear, .ens 7, jealousy, grief,
anger, hakW,revenge—foailize their
language upon the muscles th at draw
down the corners of the mouth. Bull.
dogs, who are in a state of chronic
hate and ferociousness, have mouth
corners that gape and yawn cruelly,
even to the bottoms of their chins.
The wickeder the dog-nature is, the
more this peculiarity is intensified.
Coturnimp.—A bewildering defini-
tion of the word "courtfthip " was
given by witness in a n amusing
breach-of-promise case recently in
London. Mr. Chambers, counsel for
the plidntilff, remonstrated with the
witness for using the word.' "I am
an old bachelor," said he, "and don't
understand courtship. How -is it
done? Whit ,is courtship?" The
witness, who being a married lady
might reasonably be expected to an
swer by the light of her own experi
ence, defined it thus: "Looking at
each other, taking hold of each oth
er's hands,and all that kind of thing."

& C. Kindel} bays some very true
and '
suggestive things about "The
Boy John in the April number of
&renter's. We quote air :
John is young.' His tastes are un
formed. Wm feelings are very from
being refined. • In fact he IS a little
gross in his sympathies. He *ants
amusement. Every bone in his body
aches for reaction, for play,fun,laugh
ter. He does not care—he had never
been ttnght to care--what the fun
is, if only it will ilive relief to the
fidget that stings him. Not at all re
finedi he will go for what he wants,
where others go. And going where
others go, be finds the hunger of his
nature coarsely met—jast as tainted
meat will fill the hunger of a starving
man—in tlie low revelry, vile stories,
unclean mirth of drinking-cellars and
saloons. The boy does nok discrimi
nate vary closely, and to the longitkg
of his crude ap pe tite the entertain
ment-of these Pk.m- is infinitely bet
ter than !any - hi ever could find in
thatplace which he has been taught
*peak of as home.. For eating and
sleepin ,getting his clothes
mended
he feels that no place can
be equal to a Christian home ; but
for a . good time, for Rissing a dull,
evening - hour, for learning something
new, for words of cheer, for profes
sions of sympathy, for those genial
ways which a boy does have, and
which any boy but a Urish Heep
mast love. John walla the minis
ter to his face that home is nothing
to a street 'corner, or a billiard-room
with the attachment of a beer-shop.
• Well, by and by, just beforo the
clock strikes ten, the father wakes
from his doze, the spectacles falling
and the paper sliding upon the floor,
and,'looking-round with a bewilder
ing, pre, asks, " Where is. John ? "
Where is he? Why, for want of
hetter inistniction, he is out practic
mg our modern plan of train ing him
self np in the way he likes to go . ,hav,
rag no thought that when he is old
he will care to dopert from it. But
the father who has inquired for ai
boy, rubs his eyes, and looks out in
to the darkness, and listens -; but he
hears him not. He wishes that his
boy would not go out so of nights';
but then he does go out. He won
ders that John cannot sit down at
home like other boys. What other
lboys? And then, with a very feeling
remark that, "If John_eloes not do
better and become steidy, he will
make a miserable shirk of himself,"
tho father goes to bed. The mother
waits till her boy . comes By and by
he does come in,—his restlessness
blown, off, the uneasy fidget of the
earthly evening spent in relaxations
which, of some kind, a' boy must
hav!),-,und then at last the house is
quiet. Sleep and rest prepare house
hold for another day and evening '
like these.
And when that other evening
comes, out_goei the boy again ;, and
the father again wonders, and,wishes
that John would be steady
,and stay
home, and very feelingly. predicts
that, "If he does not change his
course, he will very likely come to a
miserable end."
Bat, good lather, why should your
boy spend his evening at home?
What is there it home for him ?
Whatpleasant recreation, . what
happy plan for whiling away the
hour, does he find inviting him there,
or that would invite any boy there ?

DEFEAT.—The bearing of the, defeat
ed claimant to the Tichboime estate,
when his case suddenly collapsed,
was not the least remarkable thing
in the extraordinary/career of this
celebrated,adventurer. It appears
that a meeting of his supporters was
in progress at the Waterloo Hotel
in London Justrit ' the. time when a
climax. was approaching in his case.
Tichborne entered the room in a very
cool, very linperturable manner, at a
slow, soft; steady gait, bearing a slip
of paper in his hand. A lane was
made,for him to pass, and then the
auditorriformed a semicircle around
him. He stood with his back to the
fire-place, looked quietly, around and
,made a peculiar "pouch-month "
movement, characteristic of the man,
accompanied by rialight gasp or two,
arid then, in a perfectly clear, calm
Noice, remarked: "Gentlemen,
I've some very startling news for
you; my case seems to be 'stopped?'
And in tones equally clear and calm,
he read a copy of the rescript handed
by the foreman of the jury to the
court,saying that the tattoo evidence
he'd satisfied them of the falsity. of
the claim. When did you receive
it ?" a dozen voices cried to the claim:
ant, "About six minutesago," re
red the person, taking in a little
esh - air to his lungs, and then look
ing blandly round, like an affable
seal, with nothing whatever on his
conscience. Says one who witnessed
the SCOW, "I have studied .the Port

baffled me. -r could neither trace the
bravado of a desperate villain, foiled
and exposed,and doggedly determin
ed to brazen matters out, nor the
pardonable anguish of an innocent
man unjustly branded with crime.
Cranmer at the stake did not surpass
him in firmness, - and Talleyrand

SWEAVIG. - What pleasure can
there bo in profane' swearing? In
all most an `other vices the devil
lures with a bate ; but the profane
swearer bites a naked hook. • Read
the following
It is no mark of a gentlenian -to
swear. The most worthlesi and vile,
the refuse of mankind, the drunk
ard and the prostitute swear as well
as the best cultivated gentlemen.
The basest and meanest of mankind
swear with as ragch tact and skill as
the moat refined.;and he that wish
es to degrade hi mself to the very low
est. level of pollution and shame
should become a common swearer:
Any man haa talents enough.to learn
to curse. God and imprecate perdi
tion on fellow men. Profane swear
ing never did any man any goad.
No man is the richer, wiser or hap
pier for it. It help's no man's eda
cationar manners. - It is disguatite
to the refined, abominable - to the
good, degrading to the mind, =-
profitable, needless'and injurious to

Those people who are interested
in hard money will perhaps be profit

Whole generation, and still the story
"of the lost dollars was fresh ig our
_family cirele• ' for a silver dollar to a
poor man in those days was - larger
than moon.
"About a mile away lived another
father, of a family,in simlar circum
stances. He,. too, knew
-how munch u:
dollar cost' dng out , of the heart of a
rocky farm. At least once or often
er every week for forty years he had
occasion to pass our door, giving , and
receiving the common neighborly
salutations, and every time with _a
weight increasingly heavy on his
conscience But all ,Such 'pressure
has its limit; and when that is reach

verity of 'the strain. In this instance
it'was as when an old oak - rends - its
body - and breaks its limbs In fallihg.
"One day, completely - broken_
down, he came to my father in tears,
confessing:—'l found your _dolls=
lost in-the snow some forty,
years
ago. They have been hard do lla rs_
to me, and I carry them no longer.
I have come to return them', and,ask
your forgiveness, and as soon as I
can I will pay you the interest." -
"The scene was like that when
Jacob and Esan met over the - ford

- "He did not live long enough to'
pay the interest, bat quite - long
enough to furnish - a practical com-
ment on the text: 'The spirit -of a
man will sustain his infirmity, -but a
wounded spirit, who can bear?"
Who.will say that consciencp, though
slumbering_ in this life, will never
awake to punish the offender iii the .
life to come?"
"If any man wants hard money,
let him get it d'ishonestly,andlie will

how to avoid it. Colds always conaa
