EXCELLENT Leigh Richmond gives
the following advice to his daughters on the
subject of behavior in company: BE cheerful,
be no giggler, be serious, be not dull. Be
communicative, but not forward. Be kind
but not servile. Beware of silly and thought.
less speeches-although you may forget them
others viii not. Remember that Gods eye is
in every place, and his ear in every company
Beware of levity and familiarity with young
men; modest reserve, without affectation, is
the only safe path. Court and encourage
serious conservation, and go not into in
telligent company without endeavoring to
improve by the intercourse permitted you
Nothing is more unbecoming, when one part
Of the company is engaged in profitable and
interesting conversation, than that another par
ty should be trifiing. and talking com parative
ly nonsense"

things in the world of which it may be truly
bachelors home, q candidates cordiality and
Shylecks smile: all of these, may in safety be
predicted, there's nothing in it."
Nothing in it, cries the banker, as be
glances over the columns of the daily, and
sees nothing Of stocks or exchange no hint
whereby he can make cent per cent; no com
petitor bankrupt.
Nothing in it." exclaims the politician,
when he vainly seeks leader oy the Estate Of
the Country or the latest card, or the newest
candidate
Nothing in it,, murmers the maiden, wher
the poets corner is filed up with the rhetoric
OF pork; and the marriage head is crowded
out by "fancy goods at cost
Nothing In it, sighs the mourner, as she
looks over the pages so full Of life and human
interests; no tribute TO Nelly" who died yes,
terday; no plant for Jenny who languishes
to-day.
"Nothing in it." laughs the bride, as her
eyes dance over the columns; the capitals look
like bridesmaids, the italics are waltzers the
paragraphs are pauses to the tune, and she is
too happy to read.
So amid them all, the poor Editors have
thankless time of it. Meme Iekel" is pro,
nounced against him by those he respects and
those he loves. 'Tis an arrow at random--s
leap in the dark, and when the last proof is
read and the sheets are iluttering like autumn
leaves upon the press, and he reviews his labor
he too is constrained to say with the rest of the
world, there's " othing in it."

TACT ASD TALENT.-Talent is something,
put tact is everything. Talent is serious, sober,
grave aud respectable tact is all that and more
TOO. 1t IS not seven sense, but j. is the life
oil al TIE hive. 1t is the open eye, the quick
ea:, TIC Judging taste. the keen smell, and the
lively touch. 1t is the interpreter of all riddles
the surmouuter of all difficulties. the reaorer oil
all obstacles. 1t is useful in all places, aud in
all times. 1t is useful in solitude, for it shows
a man his way into the world. 1t is useful in
society, for it shows him his way through the
world. Talent is power; tact is skill. Talent
is weight; tact Is momentum. Talent knows
what to do tact knows how to Go it, Talent
VIII make man respectable; tact will make
him respected. Talent is wealth tact is ready
money For the practical purposes Of life tact
carries 1t against talent, ten to one. There is
no want OF dramatic tact but they are seldom
together; so we have successful pieces which
are not respectable, and respectable pieces
which are not successful Take them to the
bar and let them shake their learned curls at
each other in legal rivalry talent sees its way
clearly but tact is first at his journeys end
Talent has mary compliments from the beuch;
but tact touches fees from attorneys and clients
alent makes the world wonder that it gets on
no laster; tact eycites astonishment that it gets
on so fast--the secret is, it has no weight to
carry it makes no false steps it hits the right
nail on the head it loses no time it takes all
hints; and by keeping its eye on the weather
cock IS ready to take advantage of every wind
that blows
Take them into the church talent has
always something worth hearing tact is sure
ofabundance of hearers. Talent may obtain a
living tact will make one. Talent gets a
good name; tact gets a great one. Talent
eonvnces; tact converts. Talent is an honor
to the profession tact gains honor from the
profession.
Take them to court--talent feels its weight
tact makes its way. Talent commands; tact is
obeyed. Talent is honored with appreciation !;
tact is blessed with preference.

A Disease.

During the last cholera season, newly
caught Dutchman made his advent in the
city of New Orleans, and set forth in quest
of a boarding house He inquired of the
first one he saw if they had the cholera in
the house. The reply was "Yes,o and
Dutchy ''moved his boots" He asked
the same question and received the same
answer at three or four others. Finally be
found a landlord who assured him that he
had no cholera in his house, and there the
Dutchman concluded to tarry awhile.
The landlord was a pious man, and al
ways had family worship before separa-
ting for the night. According to the Gus
tom, therefore, the family assembled for
prayer. During the progress of the ex
ercise, the "patcr familias" groaned, and
up popped Dutchy, with
ooh, Lord vot ish ter matter''
Nothing says the host, and the Scrip
lures went on. In short time the land
lord groaned again, Dutchy started up,
with eyes like sauccrs, saying
'Oh, mine Got dare is something the
matter nit you."
No. said the landlord, adding by way
of quieting the Dutchman, Pm Metho-
dist, and it is the habit Of most of the
members of the church to groan during
religious exercises
Up jumped Dutchy with his hat and
baggage, and scuds along the street at a
speed that would shame $40 racer
Seeing a physicians sign, he called halt
and told the Doctor to run quick to No -
street.
WHAT'S the matter there, says the doc
tor. 'Have they got the cholera2'
No, but mine Gott in Himmil dey

Z TIE HARP OF NATURE. 1T is eweet to listen
to the clatter Of raindrops On the roof in the
evening. Oh! how forcibly it reminds one OF
their youthful DAYS, and Of happy hours that
have foated far down the stream of time. 1t
is pleasant in the evening to listen to the
signing Of the breeze that comes from the
North and stops awhile to daily with the ever
green twigs of the pine The sighng is the
language of the breeze. 1t is telling from
whence it came, and of What it hath seen. 1t
speaks OF the region of ''eternal snow," where
Nature is ever dressed in her shroud of spot
less white; and Of the sunny howery dells and
shady groves, where the modest eglantine
spreads its petals, and bubbling brooks mur-
mur of peace and happiness. 1t is also sweet
to listen to "old oceans roar" 1t is telling
what it hath seen--of the many shipwrecks of
the coral groves that are hidden many fathoms
below of all the magnificent beauty and
grandeur of the inner temple Of this world of
waters. These are the ways in which Nature
speaas to the ear
1t is pleasing in q moon-lit summers night,
alone to stroll away from the haunts of man,
and in the secluded nook sit down on seat
cushioned by the hand Of Nature, and drink in
the silent inexpresside beauty and inspiring
loveliness of sleeping nature. All, what tongue
or pen can express or describe the feelings that
come and go at such time THIS is the way
Nature speaks to the heart.
Oh thrice happy is the man whose heart is
attuned in harmonious unison with the great
harp of Nature.
