The Chambered Nautilus,

The Chambered Nautilus.
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main
The venturous barque that filings
On the sweet summer wind its purped wings
In CULTS enchanted, where the syren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold maids rise to sun their streaming hair
Its web Of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life wont to dwell,
As the frail tenans shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed
Its rised ceiling rent its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toll
That spread his lustrous COLI
Still, as the spiral grew
He left the past years dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his lafound home knew the old no
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn,
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep thought hear voice that sings
Build thee more stately mansions, my soul,
As the swift seasons roll
Leave thy low-vaulted past
Let each new temple nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting seal
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1858-02-11

The ART oE. CONVERSATION Madame De
Stael, one of the most elegant conversation
aliss the world has ever known, was by no
means handsome woman SO far as mere
beauty is concerned; but Byron, the most
fastidious of beauty fanciers, declared she
could talk down her face in fifteen minutes
at the end of which time she becomes pos
itively beautiful. The art of conversation
is rare gift and to be cultivated as one
would cultivate any desirable art. With
some it is spontaneous faculty; with all, it
can be acquired in greater or less degree
of perfection. An old book upon etiquette,
among an immense deal of twaddle, contains
some grains of sound sense, which would
profit all to heed. On the subject on con-
versation, we are told to " interrogate with
out display, not to interrupt a profitable
speaker, nor desire ambitiously to put in a
word Of ones own, to be measured in speak
ing and hearing, not to be ashamed of receiy-
ing or to be grudging of information, nor to
pass another's knowledge for ones own. u
And again, that the middle tone of voice
neither so low as to be inaudable, nor Ill.
bred from its high pitch" is the most dcsir
able And, also, that " one should reflect
first what he is going to say, and then give
it utterance; be courteous when addressed
amiable in social intercourse, not aiming to b.
pleasant by Righteousness, but cultivating gen
tleness in kind admonitions. Harshness i
ever to be put aside, even in censuring."
