A TALK OF n ASM KCI. N KSS.
1 here is a certain misfortune in the world,
not usually inumeiiited in tbe list of com
mon, misfortune, but which, nevertheless,
ought to be. I afford a living illustration
o( the truth of my asset tion.
My father, (io l rest bis soul, sent ni: di
ligently ta school; there I gained otno
knowledge, although our city schools at
tlmt. period Were nono of the best.
F.very one raid, " Mix has talent, but b
h shy and awkward, cannot adapt himself
to the ways of the world, is unacquainted
ith the usages of lociety, and never kuowa
what to do with bis bauds and feet; other
wise be is a good an 1 clever fellow enough."
Such was tho general opinion of me.
Header, do you pcrciuvo my failing? My
worldly education was defective, lhligeut
t school and in tho workshop, I was un
cleanly and negligent of my attire; was ci
vil, obliging, and honest, but bashful withal,
o that ran off when unknown persons ap
proached ; my eyes never knew where to
look for a resting place when addressed by
a stranger, and if called upon to meet a la
dy with civility and politeness, I became
tooted to the spot, speechless, and ptill as a
falinod.
