Miscellany.
The vuigariiy OF Loud Talking ana
Laughing.

Laughing
see in your excellent paper LITTLE para
graph on good manners, in which splsthg
and lounging ale described as proofs OF
seuli.barbarous state of society, aud i must
Beg leave 10 notice another popularity of our
social manners, equally aindictive of low
state of civilization. l allude to loud talk
Ing and scleeching laughter. This is so Pc
culiar to Americans that they are known by
/. in Europe and as well-bred people there new
er tolerate it, even in the most social circles
it is considered mark of ill-breedng belong
ing only to the lowest class.
Aside from this conventional protest against
it, there Is regular objection to it, in the in
jury it does to the vocal organs. Talking
through an evening, at the top of the voice, il
very painful and iatiguing, and yet the noise
made by the whole company is so great thai
no one can be heard who speaks low, or in q
natural tone. Many Threats are made sore and
many heads are maze to ache by this unnec
essary noise, and persons subject to bronchitis
are obliged to avoid it entirely.
In all European society the voices are kept
lower than usual in large par les, and geneI-
al hum prevails, in which each person is heard
by those be addresses. The loudness of Am
leans is very marked, and produces disgust
and indignation when it breaks the stiffness
OF picture galleries and other public places,
. where nothlnS Dut Whispers are ever allowed.
when loud vocie is heard from an American
traveller, every one is startled, and looks
around TO see whence it comes, and the CON-
ments on this breach of good manners are
very severe. a
once introduced some very refined and
cultivated Americans to gentleman in Lon
don, who could have done much for their
amusement and procured their admission te
many private galleries of paintings and sculp
ture; but after one experience of their yocifer
ating, in a public exhibition, he would moi
again expose HIM elf TO- the pain and the
shame they then caused him. He wrote to
me to excuse himself for not having done
more for my friends, by saying that their loud
talking made them not presentable in refined
society and not bearable in public places. He
ADDED that he had made dinner party for
them OF Americans only, and they laughed
and talked so loud that he was afraid the po-
lice would come in and see what the row was.

Poetry


Sitting alone in the twilight time
Alas! how silent the old house seems
Missing the voices that only cnlme
In waxing fancies or sleeping dreams!
l sit in nv mothers old armchair,
But where are the others? All whereP an
where?
Where is our Willie, 50 grave and wise?
And where is our Harry, so true and bold?
Where is Mabel, with laughing eyes,
And tire sses sprinkled with motion gold?
On Wilhe's tombstone the moss is gray,
And Harry is sleeping in Biscay Bay.
But Mabel? Mabel may come again:
Her name is still in my daily prayer;
Yet when stand where our dead are lain
I'd rather that it were written there,
They heard God call them and they o6eyeh;
But Earth called Mabeli-and Mabel strayed'
Yet while God spares it is not too late
To turn away from the tempter SMILE
Aud so in the lonely house wait,
Because I expect her all the while;
If strangers met her the day she came
She might 20 back to her sin and shame.
lean see the city lie Far away,
A slopiDg path from our house leads down
And surely, surely some summer day,
A fading woman will leave the town
Aud climb the hill, and traverse the moor,
And enter in at my open door.

with old firemen and Old residenters. Some.

One Of the "BigSixes" men had rushed into
burning building to rescue a child. The
flames had cut of his egress, and drove him
to the fourth story. All means OF escape ap-
peared to be gone, he opened one of the win
dows and called out:

old coat, put my legs and arms tight round the
