DEcIANil OF FEMALE CONVERSATION. An English
writer DEF lares the fact that the of day
do not + fpnverse," and then attributes it to the
multiplicity of studies, and the evening confinement
to bookst land school companions. He says:
:. It sijould be much matter of duty and of
conscienfp to insist outdoor exercise and in
door sodpl recreation, upon any of the regular
exerciss of the school room School studies should
be coni34ed absolutely to school hours To allow
them td encroach upon the later hours of the day.
and upbh the graceful household duties and
tions, which either ought to be provided for
every girl at Eome in other words, to subordinate
home training to school training, to intermt the
former in favor of the latter, is most papable mis-
| take. 1t is bad, i'll intellectual point of
view. To say nothing of other disadvantages, it
deprives girls of the best opportunities they can
ever have of learning that most feminine, most
beautiful, most useful of all accomplishments-the
| noble art of conversation for conversation is
art well gift. 1t is learned best by familiar
intercourse between young and DID, in the leisure
and unreserye Of the evening social circle. But
wherf young girls banished from this circle by
the pressure of school tasks talking only wi their
school master ill they come out into society, and
then monopolised entirely by young persons of
their age, they easily learn to mistake chatter
for conversation and small talk becomes for life
their only medium of exchange Hence. with all
the intellectual training of the day. there

when b brace of patridges rose at the dis
lance of ffty-fve or sixty yards; they flew
rapidly to the right, in direct line, one be-
hind the other, at a space of about two
feet apart. 1 took deliberate aim about
two inches in advance of the leading bird,
and fired when, to my surprise, the hind
most bird fell dead, and the leading one,
which was the object of my aim, flew away
untouched. At the moment l felt so as.
tonished at the result, that I could not re-
cover myself soon enough to discharge the
other barrel at the bird which had flown
away. On picking up my bird, I found
that five shot had struck it in the head and
neck so that my aim, which was at least
two feet six inches in advance of the bird
killed, was not any too much at the dis
lance and rate at which they were flying.
I felt 30 forcibly the erroneous principle
upon which I had made my own error,
that I felt as if a curtain had risen before
me, and exposed the true secrets Of the art
of killing cross shots. And l can truly
assert that this simple but singular discov'
cry did more towards improving me in the
art of shooting, than all the advice and in
struction 1 had received from practical AND
venerable sportsmeu. Some of my sport
ing friends, shortly stewards, on congrat
u~lating me on a every sudden and wonder
full improvement in my shooting in long
ranges" inquired to what schoolof iustruc

cumstauces above recorded; and, as the.
said, "very much to their edi6cation."-

Sorofula, or Kings Evil,

Ia a constitutional disease, q corruption Of the blood, by
which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak. and poor.s Be
ing In the circulation. it pervades the whole body, and
may burst out in disease on any part Of II. No organ 10
free from its attacks, nor Is there one which It may not
DESTROY. The scrofulous faint Is yariously caused by
mercurial disease, low living, d~isordered or unhealthy
food impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What.
ever be Its origin, 1t is hereditary in the constitution,
descending" from parents to children unto the third and
fourth generation p indeed, It seems to be the rod Of Him
who says, II will visit the ~iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the blood Of
corrupt and ulcerous matter, which, In the lungs, liver,
and internal organs, Is termed tubercles In tho glands,
swellings; and on the surface, eruptionB or sores. This
foul corruption, which genders In the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous constitutions not
only suffer from %scrofulous complaints, but they have far
less power TO Withstand the attacks of other diseases;
consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which,
although not s%crofulous In their nature, are still, rendered
fatal by this faint In the system. Most Of the consump.
ton which decimates the human family has Its origin dI.
rectly In this scrofulons contamination and many dep.
trucfive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed,
of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the
same cause. .-r 49,
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their
persons are invaded by this lurking infection, and their
