Delightful Tnllkers.

We hear q great deal of lamentation now-a-
days, proceeding mostly from elderly people,
on the art of conversation among us. Old ladies'
and gentlemen with vivid recollections of the
charms of society fifty years ago are constantly
asking each other why the great takers of their
youthful days have found no successors in this
inferior present time. Where, they inquiringly
mourn--where are the illustrious men and wo-
men gifted with capacity for perpetual outpour-
ing from the tongue, who use1 to keep enrap-
tured audiences deugcd in a flow of eloquent
monologue for hours together? Where are the
solo takers in this degenerate age of nothing
but choral conversations Embalmed in social
tradition, or imperfecty preserved in books for
the benefit Of posterity, which reviles their sur
viving contemporaries, and would. perhaps, even
have revled them as bores. What q change
seems indeed to have passed over the face of
society since the days Of the great talkersl If
they could rise from the dead and wag their
unresting tongues among us now, would they
win their reputation anew, just as easily
as ever? Would they even get listeners? Would
they actually be allowed to talk? should ven
ture to say, decidedly not. They would surely
be interrupted and contradicted; they would
have their nearest neghbor at the dinner table
talking across them; they would find impa-
tent people opposite, dropping things noisly,
and unostentatiously picking them up; they
would hear confidential whispering and perpet-
ual fdgeting in distant corners, before they had
got through their first half dozen of opening
sentences. Nothing appears TO me so wonderful
as that none Of these Interruptions (if we are to
believe reporD should ever have occurred in the
good old times OF the great takers. / read
long biographies Of that large class of illustrous
individuals whose fame is confined to the select
circle of their own acquaintance, and find that
they are to man. whatever other differences
may have existed between them, all delightful
takers am told that they held forth entranc-
ingly for hours together, at all times and sea-
sons, and that |, the gentle, constant, and pa
tient reader am one Of the most unfortunate
and pitiable of human beings in never having
enjoyed the luxury of hearing them; but,
strangely enough, | am never told whether they
were occasionally interrupted or not in the
course OF their outpourings. | am left to infer
their friends sat under them just as congre-
CATION sits under q pulpit; and / ask myself
amazedly remembering what society is at the
present day. whether human nature can be
changed altogether since that time.-Dickens

How A BACON THIEF GOT cLEAR.-A man out
West somewhere, being indicted for stealing
bacon, went to lawyer and told him his case
tie; but the man said no, he had right to be
tried by jury and a lawyer to defend him.
The case came up, and the witnesses swore up
to the hub against the man. 1t was a clear case
to all, even to the attorney who argued for the
bacon-stealer. The jury went out, and soon re-
turned verdict mot guilty." The man thrust
his thumb into his vest pocket and went out of
the court house whistling Yankee Doodle. The
next day the lawyer met him and asked how I'M
der heavens he got clear. Nov Squire" said
the client, "I'l tell you how the thing was done,
but you needn't say anything about it. Eleven

THE OLD SEXTON.

We find the following old song in late mum
,er of the N. Y. Sunday Mercury. We do no
now when we have read more graphic effu
ion. 1t appeared originally, we believe, 1
me of the leading papers Of Boston;
Nigh to the grave that was newly made,
Leaned sexton old on his earthw spade
His work was done and he paused to wait
The funeral train through the open gate
A relic of by-gone days was he.
And his locks were white as the foamy sea-
And these words came from his lips so thin,
~ gather them in gather them in ~
~ gather them in for, man and boy,
Year after year of grief and joy
I've buded the houses that lie around
In every nook Of this burial ground
Mother and daughter. father and son,
Come to my solitude, one by one
But come they strangers, come they kin,
gather them In gather them in
sAIany are with me- but still Pm alone
am king Of the dead--and make my throne
On monument slab Of marble cold,
And nv sceptre Of rule Is the spade hold.
Come they from cottage or come they from hall
Mankind are my subjects all, all all
let them loiter in pleasure, or toilfuIy spin,
gather them in gather them in
IL gather them inland their final rest
Is here. down here In the earth's dark breast
And the sexton ceased-for the funeral train
Wound mutely over that solemn plain
And said TO my heart-wheu time Is told,
mighter voice than the sections old
Will sound DER the last trump's dreadful din
II gather them In gather them In !"

woMAN.s KISS.

by AN ENTHUSIASTIC YOUNG MAN.
Pye banquetted on luxuries
Produced in every cline,
I've feasted ON rich turtle soup,
And supped on oysters prime
But nothing so delicious is
Within world like this,
As soft caresses seasoned by
A lovely woman's kiss
I've gloated oyer the festive board,
And drank rich draughts Of wine
I've listened at the opera
At melody divine;
But oh I've never. never met
Such sweet excess Of bliss
As thrills the soul when lips receive
A lovely woman's kiss
In glittering halls Of splendor rare
I've passed the midnight hours
In gardens beautiful and fair
I've wandered mid the flowers;
But there's a dearer joy than these
A joy would not miss
A heavenly rapture which Is found
In lovely woman's kiss.
In my last hour, when death draws near,
In darkness and in gloom,
May woman's smile my pathway cheer,
Aud light me TO the tomb;
And when my soul shall take It's fight
10 other worlds than this,
May IL be waited TO the skies
BY lovely wOman's kiss.

A CARD FROM DIR. J. c. YouYG's PRIVATE MEDICAL,

A CARD FROM DR. J. c. YOUNG'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
n OFFiCE-To the allicted-n this age Of progress
when science is almost miraculous everything in common
place looked upon not worth notice In view of this
fact Dr. Young (corner Of Montgomery and California STA
p stairs has concluded TO leave the beaten track hither
TO pursued by most scientific physicians, bat of waiting
for the public to find you alone and pnbs to the world
s much as NAV be- his knowledge Of the healing art to LET
those who in need of assistance know where they
find relief without fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject Dr. Young would saw
that for the past he has pursued the practice Of
medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success and that his standing phys-
clan without reproac having at time been lecturer
at the University of Pennsylvania on veneral diseases
Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit
The following are few Of the many testimonials which
have appeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
from the Boston Medical Journal
Although opposed to the system of advertising
Cor good and sufficient still deem it but Justice
to say that Dr. Young is Of the most Industrious and
indefgabo votarics of medical science in the United
States.
From Professor Jaskson
The subscriber personally acquainted Dr Young and
has much of his practice, and bear testimony
his merits a practitioner.
[From the New York Herald
The emnence of this distinguished gentleman in his pro-
fsson and the extended opportunities possessed bv
him for the observation Of venera disease makes his ser
vices invaluable TO those afflicted with the above com
plants.
From the Wing and Advertiser.
All afflicted with private complaints should IL possible
consult Dr. Young whose medical education is not sur
passed by any Physician in the Country In his skill hon
or and integrity all NAV rely with safety while most of
responsibility their petensons being grounded in igno
rance and assumption.
