incident or tell story with which you arc
not well acquainted nor tire the patience
of your auditors with little trifling details; !;
nor keep them upon the torture, after rails
lug expectation of something thrilling, by
Withholding it to the very last words. Go
stIaight forward with what you have to
communicate without repetition state the
principle points with clearness and precision
and unless the matter itself is void Of interest
you will be heard with pleasure. And, if
there should happen to be anything diver
ting or witty in what you say, let the laugh
ing be for others; for, in general, the less
of it you do yourself the better you will aJSEE AZ

Never suffer your mind to be absent IN
company. Command and directsyour at
'en'ion to present objects; see and hear all
that is going on without appearing to scru-
tinize particularly anything.
Good breeding does notsconsist in formal
ceremony, but in an easy, civil and respect
ful behavior. A welI-bred man is. polite to
every person, but particularly to stsapgerssy
nmixed companies, every Ep-rsoaswho is
admitted is supposed to be on, a footing of
equality with. the rest, and consequently
claims very justly every.mark of civiity.
1t is}wise to asoid$re marks condetonatory
of classes and professions, doctors, lawyers,
or clergymen; and |. is prudent to learn
enough of the immediate connections Of
those present to avoid giving pain.
Yellow SKrF-As the ladies' are in
terested in whatever improves or Injuries the
skin, we reprod uce the following speculation
on the sal|owness Of complexion from the
Philadelphia Ledger:
If our Western friends can in any wav
teaeh their wives, daughters, or cooks, to
keep the pearlash out of their brea d, all the
yellow people, especially ,hssysIlow chill.
dren, who are spppossdao be turned yel-
low by the fever aid p gyde and billions fe-
vers, will soon be turned white. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose tbattbe yellow
countenances of the west came from bile,
when it is only tt,e enormous quantities Of
pearlasb eaten in The bread that is reflected
through the skin. Bread is; the staff Of life,
it is said-and 80 it's; but it is the stnff of
death, too, in tbis' country. Bad bread
kills about as mass people here as bad ffSGSsn.
So many people eat poisonous pearlash for
bread at'they die by inches Dyspepsia

that deranges,tbe liver, brings on costive
