CONVERSATION.

One of the greatest pleasures of life is conyersa-
tion and the pleasures of conversation Of course
enhanced by every increase of knowledge. Not
that we should generally meet together to talk Of
akales or angles, to add to stock of history'
or philosophy though little of these is no bad
Ingredient in conversation. But, let the subject be
what 1t may, there is always prodigOus difference
between the conversation of those who have been
well educated, and those who have not enjoyed this
advantage. Education gives fecundty of thought,
quckness, vigor, fancy, words, images, and ilusra
ton. 1t decOraes common things and gives the
power of trifling, without being undignifed or
absured. Can all this be derived from pano-forte,
pas seut, and little Italian No. But give to
woman in early life something to acquire of suff-
cient interest and importance to command the
application of their faculties and to excite
their perseverance in future life teach them that
happiness asto be derived from the acquisition of
knowledge, is well as the the qualification of vanity
and you will raise up much more formidable bar
rer against dissipation, than host of invectives and
exhortations can supply. Though it were denied
that the acquisitions of serious knowledge is ofitself
important to woman, still it prevents taste for silly
and pernicious works of imagination; and in lieu
of that eagerness for emotion and adventure books
of that sort inspire, calm and steady temperament
of mind. If you educate woman to attend to dig
nified and important subjects, you multiplying
beyond measure the chances of human improvement,
by preparing those early impressions, which always
come from the mother; and which in great ma
jorty of instances, quite decisive of character
and genius. Nor is it only in the business of cdu-
cation that women would influence the destiny of
men: if women knew more men would learn more
for ignorance in them would be shameful, and il
would be the fashion to be well instructed
The education of women improves the stock of ma
tional talents, and employs more minds for the in
struction of the people; it increases the pleasures
of society by multiplying the two topics upon which
the two sexes take common interest; and
makes marriage intercourse of the intellect as
well as Of the affections, by giving dignity and inn
portance to the female character.
The education of women also favors public NOR
ais; it provides for every of life, well
for health and youth, and leaves woman, when
stricken by the hand of time she often is, des
titute of every thing and neglected by ALL but will,
the power and attractions of intelligence, dffu-
sing the elegant pleasures of polite literature,
and receiving the just homage oflearned and acom-
plished men.-Among men of sense and liberal
politeness, who has successfully cultivated
her mind, without diminishing the gentleness and
propriety of her manners, is always to meet
with respect and attention bordering on enthusiasm.

THE GAMBLER.

The finished gambler has no heart. The club
with which he herds would meet, though the place
ofrendezvous were the chamber of the dying they
would meet, though were apartment in the char
nel-house. Not the death of kindred can affect
the gambler He would play upon his brothers
cefin he would play upon his fathers sepulchre.
Yonder see that wretch prematurely old in infrm
ity as well as sin. He is the father of family.
The mother of his children, lovely in her tears,
strives with the tenderes assduities, to restore his
health and with it TO restore temperance, his love of
home, and the long lost charms of domestic life.
She pursues him with her kindness and her entrea-
ties to his haunts of vice (; she reminds him of his
chldren-she tells him of their virtues-of their
rows-of their wants-and she adjures him by the
love of them and by the love of god, to repent and
return. Vain attempt She might as well adjure
the whirlwind she might well entreat the tiger.
The brute has no feeling left He turns upon her
in the spirit of the demons with which he is posses
sed. He curses his children and her who bore them;
and as he prosecutes his game, he fills their intervals
with imprecations on himself, with imprecations on
his Maker-imprecation borrowed from the dialect
of demons, and uttered with tone that befits only
the orgies of the damned And yet, in this monster
there once dwelt the spirit of man. He had tai
ents--he had honor-he had even faith lie might
have adorned the senate, the bar, the altar. But
alas his was a faith that saveth not. The gaming
table has robbed him of and of all things else that
are worth possession. What tremendous wreck is
the soul of man in ruins

MIRROR OF LIFE.

The following observations looking glass
made at an advanced period of life, convey moral
reflection, which if duly weighed, may prove sal
utary warning against indulging those deceitful
dreams, which to frequently grow on the mirthful
scenes and careless Incidence Of youth.
"This piece of furniture brings before me an epit-

indentical article being then such as now appears

image of growing needless youth, full of health,
and exhibiting all the animation of Joyous nope
At subsequent period again looked on IT, and saw
a man. Boundless expectation had now oeen
broucht down to calm satisfaction. had no fur
ther good to expect the first throb OF eNutaton was
over, but fear and dstrust was unknown. More
advanced in years, saw in It one OF midde-aged ap-
pearancc whose aspect was soured by the disap-
pointmcnts and vexa,ons of the world, but yet
with hope and elate with conscious integrity
Now this object which originally reflected my infant
mirth, gives one too picture Of declining life,
faded remnant Of humanity and living record Of
mournful error"

From the Nev Monthly Magazine.
WAS RIGHT, OR WAS l NOT?
Was right, or was notl
The age exactI canot tell,
But twas some tune in teens, wo,
That !, came out dashing belle.
MY mother call'd me chair Drained chit"
But that needed nee lOt.
Por little Miss must flirt a bit,
Was right or was not
Away sparkled in the ring;
And soon was known as false and far:
Oh It's dear delightful thing
When first we make a swain despair.
There was young Fredrick all on fire,
Who vow'd and swore-I know not what!
OF course left him to expire;
Was right, orwas not
Dear me felt trifle sad,
When all cried out what have you DONE
For sure enough loved the lad
But who'd take up with number onel
So riri Pamour gaily cried
And he, poor wretch, was soon forgot
For I'D hundred sparks beside;
Was right or was notl
Some shook their heads but had skill;
Lovers and friends Invent on winning,
What will you have l arted still
Because flrtsd at beginning,
A long gay train I led away;
Young cupid sure was in the plot,
thought the spell would last for aye
Was right, or was notl
Blu, now It's come into my head
That must grow discreet and sage,
For there are hints my charms have fled.
And approach certain age"
So the next olier-that's my plan
I'll nai decisive on the spot;
'ris time that I'd secured my man.
Am right or am mott
But nh though gladly I'd say eyes"
The looks Of all the men say "No."
Who would have thought 'twould come 10 this
But mother says, 81 told you So"
Friends, lovers, dangIers, now are gone:
Not one is left Of all the lot,
And I'm maiden all forlorn ~
