Plenty of girls, lovely as the sun shone on, but a panicky kck of desirable young men.

People ar generally more anxious to speak than to listen. They ar fre quently Tbiuking of what they are going to say rather than what is being said; anTt- even those who are more polite very often faney it is sufficient if they seem to be attentive; and ytt at the "same time their eyes betray an absentjyjjid, and show an impatient desire to continue their own train of thought W hea listening, the atten tion should never be engrossed by any ideafe but those of the speaker.

The reason is evident; ycu run into two dangers egotism aud injustice.

No art can restoro the grape its bloom. ' Familiarity, without confidence, with out regard, is destructive to all that make women exalting and ennobling. It is the first duty of a womaa to be a lady.i Good breeding is good sense. Bad manners in a woman is immoral- fr a severe remarks on the conduct or motive of their neighbors form the staple of conversation.

Nor is it polite, when a frieffci is shown a painting, sculpture, er other work of art, for him instantly to describe a similar thing, only more valuable, that he has seen elsewhere, or possibly has in his own possession. Several instaaces might be given of saying'the right word in the right nlane: but one is sunicient. Jcor a host or hosUss to introduce subjects with which they know their friends to be familiar is a delicate attention, which may pass unnoticed at the time, but will have the good effect of mak ing their guests fet-l at their ease, and leav a pleasant recollection, as evry one likes to talk upon a subject upen which he ean talk well.

( Having fully impressed yourselves with the first rule we have laid down respecting the two subjects of conver sation to be avoided, 1 would suggest that you should remember never to talk too fast nor too loud. Many mothers, and those who have the care of the young, are apt to re strain them too strictly from conver sation during meals. It is better to make a" rule that they ahould speak only when spoken to, and then ad dress them on subjects suited to their ! comprehension, encourage them to give their own ideas of things that are daily occurring, questioning them on tho books they have read, and draw itig out their minds, so that conversa tion will be no eifoi t to them when ; they go out in society, and that pain j ful mduvau-s honte, which makes a girl ' afraid to hear the sound of her own i a i ii t T 1 j J voice, will oe (nectuany avoiaea. need it.

And yet they are all-important factors of our best society. No wedding ceremony is complete without some of them as ushers and chicken-salad annihilators; no ball or reception is perfect without a numerous sprinkling of them to flourish their shining heels, only less light than their heads, to the witching strains of music; without them our girls would be stay-at-homes, and wall flowers would flourish thicker than bachelor buttons in rustic par terres.

Nine-tenths of tie oflice arid errand boys of to-day r.re holding positions of trust, made so by the necessities of business, and they are the ehjldren, for the most part, of men whose sta tion in life have cot shown them the necessity of inculcating ia thsir boys the principles of business integrity. The boys themselves, unused to the luxury of spending money, charmed by its fascinations, induced by older companions' sometimep, are led to petty thieving. The desire to spend is natural enough, and but few bojs are philosophical enough, not to say morally strong enough either by na ture or training, to wi'Jaland the temptation cf availing themstlvesof the opportunities to steal small sums.

It is not enough that a boy "takes to'' a business life; as iu any other science, he should be instructed, and his instructor should be his employer, and his employer should be qualified to instruct. The elements of busi ness, and not the least among them is integrity, should be taqght him, aud taught him thoroughly, at home.' in Excess of Modesty.

Fidelity. Never forsake a friend. When ene mies gather around, when sickness falls oa the heart, when the world ia dark and cheerless is the iime .to try true friendship.

If you have a friend who loves you who has studied yonr interest and happin'ess-Be sure to sustain him in adversity. Let him feel that bis former kindness is appre ciated, and that his love was not thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists in the heart They only deny its worth and power who have never leved a friend, or labored to male one happy. The good and the kind, the affectionate and the virtuous, see and feel the heavenly principle. The wings of gnats flap at the rate of 15.000 times per aeeoad. !y tritic-s is Ler prime favorite. Dont rorsfct It. .A successful business man says there were two things which he learned when he was eighteen, which were afterwards of great use t him, namely, "never to lose anything-, and never to forget anything." An old lawyer sent him with an . important prayer, with certain definite and full instruction what to do with it. "Bat,"' inquired the young man, "suppose I forget it; what shall I do ! then V' . , I The 8uswei? was with the utmost ! emphasis. "You most not forgit it !'
