Conversation.

Among all the Accomplishments" which
our young ladies expect to acquire, it is to be
regretted that the art OF conversation il not
included. No grace of person or manner
can compensate for the lack of this. In
youth. the conversation of our women is too
apt to be trifing and insipid, and in middle
age. is too often confined to complaints of
health and the scandal of the day. Lively
conversation, upon instructing and elevating
topics, is but little practised; but, wherever
it is found, it gives charm to the society
OF women which nothing else can. 1t tri-
umphs over deformity aud old age, makes
ugliness itself agreeable. Curran, speaking
Of Madame de Stael, who was by no means
handsome, but splendid conversationist,
said that she had that power of taltiag
herseJ into a beauty" Ladies' should think
Of this Beauty lies in other things than
fine features and cosmetics" IN -iidUI

James Monroe Oh the Power Of he Gen.

james Monroe Oh the Power Of he Gen.
cral Government to Draft.
The disasters that attended our arms ir
1918 and 1914 rendered it necessary to
adopt other measures to form a new army,
and President Madison recommended to
Congress in his message that entire depen-
dence on the military be disca rded tha: the
regular army Le filled up, and 100000 men
be raised by a draft to be ordered BY tho
general Government. Then, as now, it was
urged that the regular army could be filled
only by voluntary snlistments, and that tho
Government had no power to draft. This
position was met by Secretary o! State
Monroe as follows:
Congress has right By the Constitution,
to raise regular armies, and no restraint is
imposed in tho exercise Of it, except in the
provisions which are intended to qua I'd
'gaiast the abuse Of power, with none Of
which does this plan interfere. 1t would be
absurd to suppose that Congress could not
carry this power into effect otherwise than
BY accepting tho voluntary service of indi.
viduals. 1t might happen that an army
could not be raised in that mode, whence
the power would have been granted in vain.
The safety Of the State might depend on
snch an army. The idea that the United
States cannot raise aresular army in any
|other mode than by accepting the voluntary
service of individuals is believed to be re-
|pusnant to the uniform construction Of all
grants Of power, and equally so to the frs.
principles and leading objects Of the Federal
compact An unqualified grant Of powe,
gives the means necessary to carry il into
effect. This is An universal maxim which
admits Of no exception. Equally true IS j,
that the conservation Of the State Is duty
paramount to Ill others. The common
wealth has right TO tho service Of al its
Icitizens, or rather the citizens composing
the commonwealth have right, collective
u and individua lly, to service to each o.he,
