Conversation.

Anybody can talk-who has the usual
organs OF speeoh-but to converse is a
different thing, and to, converse well very
high and rare accomplishment. Conver.
sation, as one may see by the etymology
of the word, supposes at leas, two parties
to the discourse, and requires a,lstener as
well as a talker. Johnson and Parr have
argued; Coleridge preached; Madame de
Stael disputed; Curran sparkled with wit
and fancy; Burke conversed like a gentle
man, and was at onoe brilliant and pro-
found--a good talker--a good listener, al.
together model conversationist. Shaks-
psare says s-"Conversation should be
pleasant without scurrility, witty without
affection, learned without pedaniry, novel
without falsehood." Rocheioucault says,
s',he reason why SO fewpersons are agree
able in conversation is, that every one
thinks more Of what he has to say. than
in answering what is said TO him." 1Burns
must have been charming conversation
ist. The duchess of Gordon said OF his
conversation. that sit fairly lifted her off OF
her ssat"-a powerful kind Of discourse,
we should say. and scarcely proper to q

REPEAL OF THE DUTIES on CoAL--A petition
to Congress praying for the abolition Of the
duties on coal is now going the rounds Of Mas
sachusetts So oppressive has the present
price Of the domestic article become in that
region, that the people are unwilling to await
the operation of the reciprocity treaty, and de-
mand the total repeal of all drawbacks on the
importation of foreign COAL There cannot be
a question of the justice Of their demand in
point of principle. Coal has no claim what
ever to be protected by duties: it is rapidly
enriching every one concerned in its produc
ton, and pouring wealth into the lap of those
who are even incidentally concerned In the
trade. The Reading Railroad is said to be
doing an enormous business, and earning large
profits simply from its coal freights: and the
richest men in the country to-day are thos
