7 CoNvERs easier source of mu-
tual injury, or Of mutual benefit is converse
ton. Nothing is more efficient, either for
good or evil. Conversation is an art as well
as natural gift. Some persons are chatty,
incessant takers, or drizzling and monoton-
Gus tattlers, but few posses the divine gift of
imparting high thoughts by beautiful and
easy conve- sation. 1t is the most spiritual
means of intellectual culture. Combative
conversation is invariably injurious and dis
graceful Smal-talk is usually interlarded
with vulgar stories and contemplate inuen-
does. Chat is endurable for brief period.
But of all heathenisms, gossip is the mist
ruous; 1t is insulting and discouraging to
the better part of mind. True, easy grace
full, natural conversation-upfowing from the
hearts deep fountains profitable and attrac-
tive to the last degree.

( COMPARATIVE SAFETY OF RAILROADS
From official reports of the English, French,
and Prussian governments, it appears that,
of the number that ride in rail cars, there
is but one death by accident out of 4, 100000
passengers, while, of analogous calculations
of those patronizing the stage coaches in
France, there is one death out of 800, 1853,
and one wounded out of 1882 travellers
from which it appears that those who go in
the diligence are 1875 times moro in danger
of perishing or being wounded than those
who patronized the railroad.

WONDERFUL CALCULATJoNs.-Aw writer thus
undertakes to convey some idea of the great
ness Of the population of China. "The mind
cannot grasp the real import of 80 vasts
number Four hundred millions What
does it mean? Count it night and day, with
out rest, or food, or sleep, you continue the
weary work, yet eleven days has passed be
tore you counted the first million, and more
than as many years before the end of the
tedious task can be reached" lie also sup
poses this mighty multitude to take up its
line of march, in grand procession, placed
IN single file at six feet apart and marching
at the rate Of thirty miles day, except On
:he Sabbath, which is given to rest. DAY
after day the moving column advances, the
head pushing toward the rising SUI, now
bridges the Pacific, row bridges the Allan
tic And now the Pacific is recessed but
still the long procession marches on, stretch
ing across high mountains, and sunny
plains, and broad rivers, through China and
Indea, and the European kingdoms, and on
again over the stormy bosom of the Atlantic.
But the cir cult OF the world itself affords not
standing roun. The endless column will
double upon itself, and double again and
again, and shall eirile the earth eighteen
times before the great reservoir which fur
nishes these numberless mutitudes is eX-
hausted. Weeks, months, AID years roll
away, and still they come, men, women and
children. S ace the march began the little
child has grown to be mar, end yet on they
come, in unfailing numbers. Hot till the end
of forty-one years will the last of the long
procession have passed" Such is China in
its population; and if Homer could preach
cioquently Oh tie vanity of man as mortal,
with equal eloquence, had be seen or con.
templated the millions Of China, could he
have preached On the vanity Of man as an
individual
