Talking is not taught as a distinct branch
of education, In our common schools, yet in
practical Importance it is at least equal to some
things which are taught there. To talk not
only 6uently but well, is a rare faculty, and
cannot be overcultivated Like penmanship
it cannot be " taught in six easy lessons" but
must be learned by continued pratice. That

1t is indsputahe that to talk sensibly and to

Talking.

Phrenologists say that the difference in this
respect is partey natural. They say there is a
portion OF the brain which corresponds with
the propensity to talk.

hE An intelligent lady whose little boy
was beginning to swear, anxious to express to
her child the horror Of profrnity, hit upon the
noval plan of washing oat his mouth with soap
suds whenever be swore. 1t was an efeetual
cure. The boy understood bis mothers sense
of the corruption of an oath, which with tn the
taste of the suds. produced desired result. The
practice, if universally adopted, would raise the

The comirg session WILL without doubt, be an un-
usually interesting one, because the debates Will in
