The gentlemen also, sometimes, greatly need a stopper for their ears. We address the mat ter to our female friends because they / mainly, have the education of our sons as well of our daughters`; and also beciuse we know that gentlemen are exceedingly curious to know how the ladies are advised. We would have both to read and profit. The art of not bearing should be taught in every well-regulated, family. It is full as important to domestic happiness as a cul-, tivated ear, for which so much money and time are expended. There are so many things which it' is pailifut to hear—many which we ought not to hear—very many which, if beard, will distirb the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract froth contentment and happiness; that everyone should be educated to take 'in or 'shut out sounds, actording,to their: pleasure. If a man falls into a violent passion, and' calla the. all manner of iiimes, the first word shuts my ears, and I hear no more. If, id. my quiet voyage of life; I find myself caught in one of those domestic whirlwinds of seold ing, I shut my ears,;Os a sailor would' 'furl his sails, and making all ,tight, scud before the gale. If , a hot and retakes man begids' to infiame.my,feelhigs,,t`cossider whit mis chief these' : fi ery sparks may do in -the mag azine below*here my temper is kept,'arid instinly close the door.

This art of, not hearing,, though untaught in the schools, is by no means unknown, or unprectieedkr society: I'have noticed that a waiLbreawomen,never leers an impferti-: neat` or'` a vulgar remark. A kind of dis creet deafness saves one froM many insults, : from much blame, froth not a little apparent connivance in dishodorable conversation'. There arc two , doormk inside my ears,a right-hand door leading to the heart, and a lift-hand door, with a broad and steep pas sage out into the opea air.
