The PINKs OF PRorRIETY There is a
set Of people whom cannot bear-the pinks
Of fashionable PROPHECY whose every word
is precise, and whose every movement is un-
exceplionable but who, though versed in
all the categories Of polite behavior. have
not particle Of soul or Of cordially about
them. We allow that their manners may
be abundantly correct. There may be ele.
gance in every gesture, and gracefulness in
every position; not smile out Of place,
and not step that would not bear the mea-
surement the severest scrutiny. This is all
very fine but what want is the gaiety ofso-
cial inlercourse--ihe frankness that spreads
ease and animation around 1.-THE eye that
speaks affability to all, that chases tlmidity
from every bosom, aud tells every man in
the company TO be confident and happy
This is wha, conceive TO be true polite
ness and not the sickening Formally OF
those who walk by rule. and would reduce
the whole OF human life 10 wire-bound
system Of misery and constrsint.

Correct SDeakiDg.

We advise all young people to acquire in
early life The habit of using good language,
both in speaking and writing, and to abandon
as early possible the use of slang words and
phrases. The longer they live the more diff
cult the acquisition of such language will be-;
and If the golden age ofyouth-the proper sea
son for the acquisition oflanguage-b passed.
in IFS abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglect
ed education is very probably doomed to talk
slang for life. Money is not necessary to pro-
cure this education. Every man has it in his
power. He has merely to use the language
which he reads instead of the slang which he
hears; 10 form his tas &c from the best speakers
and writers Of The country; 10 treasure up
choice phrases in his memory, ana habituate
himse If to their use-avoiding at the same time
that pedantic precision and bombast which be-
speak rather the weakness of the vain ambition
than the polish of an educated mind There is
no man, however low in rank, who may not
materially benefit his financial condition by
following this advice, and cutivating at the
same time such morals and manners as CORES
pond in character with good words.

Spurn not The Poor Man.

BY JOHN PARKER.
Spurn not the poor man, spurn him not,
Though horny be his hands;
Nor gold nor silver has he got,
Nor houses, no nor lands.
Yet cast not thou that scornful glance
Upon his sunburnt ia ce;
For though he's poor, his poverty
Can never thee disgrace.
His coat may of the coarsest be,
Made out of holden gray,
And thine be of the best broadcloth,
And trimmed so fine and goy.
Thy polished boots may brightly shine,
In fashion fting neat;
And his poor clogs be dingy brown,
And shapeless on his feet.
Yes, his exterior may be rude,
And no attractions show;
And his connections be among
The lowest of the low;
But in the casket rough to view
a gem may be concealed
As bright gem as ever yet
Was 10 the world revealed
Full many mine of priceless worth
Is bid within the breast
OF many poor neglected one,
Cast down and sore oppressed;
Among the poorest of the poor,
Earth's noblest sons abound
The best, the purest, greatest, still
The cottage hearth surround.
