'l7l Talk, It is a ♦ery common thing to speak with contempt of "small talk," as it is talled,especially among young men of education, who are just beginning to think of the more serious affairs of life and philosophy, and who are anxious ,to converse in the drawing room upon "ire , proving" subjects.' Now, small talk Is a necessity of social life. It holds as important a place In the easy ; inter course of society as oil does in te e steam engine. Grant that men and women are social beings, and that the various rela tions and pleasantrie,a of society are a°' massy to our happiness, and the value .of small talk cannot be denied. Two mere philosophers may all to' gather far hours, and if the weighty thoughts 6f either con- - descend to the saes of their tongues, their conversation, ten to ono, - war be "weary, stale, and flat," if not, Indeed, "unprofitable." Introduce a little small talk jokes, quips, anecdotes, nonsense--and thought moves easily, conversation becomes recreation; . even philosophy finds its place, is actually graceful, pad pleases as well as instructs. What tea party or any social gathering without small talk? An unmitigated bore. _Not that wewould have nothing but small talk, as is too frequently, per haps, the case in society; but, this is the only Medium by which those who meet but seldom can become acquainted with each other; and it is the. surest way of calling oat pleasant thoughts and pithy .suggestions upon more serious and im portant subjects,. . • We suspect that, in , most cases of pro fessed contempt for small talk among ambitious young men there is a little mixture of the sour grape element. They lack the energy to overcome the natural ' tendency of the adolescent - human male to relapse into silence at every . oppcir ton ty suggested by the conclusion of a "subject." The position ts an awkward One, and as the only remedy, smalltalk, is out of reach, contempt for it is a very natural resu:t The female adeleseent, fortunately for the comfort of both sexes, is generally gifted with small talk by nature, and otten comes to the assistance of her• embarrassed "correlative" In a very festinating and peculiarly womanly way by doing the talking herself. Here, ae everywhere, the kindly and beneficent foresight of Nature commands our sin , limited admiration. BM small talk has Its degrees like everything else. There is some talk so excessively minute tkat microscopic ex amination fails to &close any sense. k frequent mistake of young mecti.whe are gifted with this very essential social con venience is the idea thatgadlei in society are not constituted to appreciate any thing except small talk, and the smallest kind of small talk at that. "My dear sir," said a lady friend of ours to a gen tleman, "you talk to us ladies as if we were fools, and you think' we want you to do it; I have just overheard-you talk ing very sensibly to another gantlet:Mtn, and now you turn around to me and be gin to talk nonsense." She was fully as frank, -perhaps, as she was polite • but what she said was a very excellinehint. Small talk, too, has its owd proper times and .placea. The public lecture, for instance, Is not a•Proper place ; and at the most delicate air in an opera, is hardly a proper•dme to 'indulge it. But in its place and time it is pleasing and appropriate "and, for our own part, an •Lhour of small talk with an intelligent woman is decidedly preferable to many other tetras of amuseinent..—Neto York Erasing Gazette: • • Brain iVork. Dr. Ball, in one of his health tracts, has the following to say. on brain work: ttard study, does not, of itself, shorten life, but does of itself tend to increase the longevity nf Man. When hard ate .dents die early, it will be found that in some way,they. had Callen-into- 'lnhabit of violating some of the laws of nature, or began/study with some inherited in. firmite. , .„The,purault of truth is pleas urable; It is exhilarating; it Is exalting, and promotes serenity. Of ill men, nat ural philosophitrs average the longest lives. Therrmd, the governing reason is, in addrtion - to the stove, that their at tention Is drawn away. from the, indul gence of animal appetites; their gratifi cations are not in that direclion, hence they are neither "gourmands, drunkards nor licentious. Sir Isaac Newton had , often to be reminded - that his dinner I was ready; the call to cans often a =at unwelcome one to literary men, they consider eating is secondary considera tion; they literally cat to live, and the procesa pf dining is often gone through with as a task. , ' • • Many bard students hare become mitt. erable dyspeptics, and have died while yet in their prime, but the tormenting die. ease was brought on by over 'eating, by eating too fast, nr by returning to their studies too soon atter a hearty or hasty meal, thus drawing.to the brain the =- 70123 etergy which ought. to have been expended on the stomach in aiding it to prepare. the food for nourishing the erten', . Lod not being so prepared it "lays heavy," feels like a load, or pro duces other discomfons which increase in intensity and durauon until life be. comes a burden and a failure The French Academy is perhaps the most leamed.taxly In the world, and the ages of the younger members average from sixty to seventy.- Most of the clever men of France hive in this year of 1807 reached a great age. 01 the members of the French Academy, M. Vinnet is 89; 31. de Seger; 86; De Tougerville 70; Lebran, Si; Villedemain, 76; Lamvilne, 70; Flourcne, 78; M. Gaizot, 29; M. Thies, 09; Berryer, 74; the'Duke de Broglie,- 82. This list might be indefinitely attend ed as to all nations—Lord' Brougham, Humboldt, '..lohn Wesley and many othm. • The circumstances Most favorable to longavity.among brain workers is • the spending a considerable portion of early life in out-door activities, travel and the like, then,by a temperate and plain mode of living the brain will work ad vantageeusly until past four-scorn years. Ecientricltles of Vas/Jou. The London Journal says: The cos tume of the fashionable Londoner Just now is s marvel, and It Is very difficult for those of us whom the conversion of the Tories to household soling° has not yet prepared for any change, not to break forth with laughter when we see fair creatures who lately occupied the whole of the pavement when walking singly, now walking six abreast In garments suggestive of Brighton bath ing machines rather than the London. streets. They have eltiunk up almoit to a lbre, which, as mathematicians tell us, has length but no breadth—always ex cepting the colfares. It is quite possible now for a woman.to be in one street and her'ehignon in the next. For once the eccentricities of female attire are being copied by the men. They, too, have adopted the swathing system; and one seeks nether garments now that are not only inexpressible but inexplicable. How their wearers get into them, and how by any process except bandaging these won derful appendages are donned . Is Omar. vet. As to hats there is ft race going on Just now between tbo dandies god our fine ladies, to see which can wear the ernallest, headdrese.
