SeIEEstimates.

Although mans estimate of him
self is of little or no value as a mere
statement PurPorting to give us direct
information of the facts to which it re-
iers, yet its Importance as an element
of character is very great, especially
for social purposes. There are many
important virtues which add little or
nothing to peoples attractlveness: but
the difference between self.complacen-
cy and self-depreciation is one which
can never be overlooked, and to the
social effects of which nobody can be
Indifferent.
II is impossible to lay down any
general rule as to the kind of self4esti-
mate which is likely to be most accept
able, unless, in the spirit of a recent
writer on the philosophy of conversa-
ton, one should advise a man to be
pleased, but not too much pleased with
himself. Some degree of self.compla-
cency we should think must be grateful
to every body's taste, as some amount of
butter improves bread to every palate;
but Il is very nice matter to determine
the exact quantity. Much also de.
pends upon whether the self-compla-
cency be of passive or an aggressive
kind.
Every benevolent mind likes to see a
iellow-creature happy; but many even
benevolent people have natural
combativeness of disposition. which at
once disposes them TO resist whatever
comes before them in the shape of a
demand, even for sympathy. As "A
general rule, self estimates may be
said to be more or less contagious,
though people are in very different de-
grees affected by the cOntagion. One
curious instaC e of this seems to be
that nobody can be very interesting to
others who takes no interest
in himself. Such defect may
not at first sight appear
to be dangerously common, but by
careful Observation most of The mega
tive forms of dullness may be traced
to this cause.
1t is not that people show any want
of interest on their own behalf. 1t is
true that most people are interested,
even TO excess, in their own concerns,
and this is the most fruitful source of
positive wearisomeness. 1t is an excess
of interest, either In their own concerns
or In something else about which their
neighbOrs care as little, which makes
bores; but, apart from this, people may
be utterly uninteresting to their neigh
bors, simply for want OF what may be
called theoretical interest i'll them-
selves; while with it they may be disa-
greeable, vain, foolish, and fatiguing,
but never utterly vapid and cOloriess.-

led in a seperate bill and become a

Female Bores.

Perhaps there is not. after chastity, ii
quality which men more highly appre-
ciate in the women with whom they
undertake to live, than this negative
virtue of not being bores. And this
may be easily accounted for, especially
In the cases OF men who have led home
lives previous 10 their marriage; who
have not through much tribulation,
such az hardships abroad aud lack of
sympathy from strangers, learnt TO
yearn for the loving kindness thnt WAS
tedious when experienced daily.
The lives of women whose interests
are narrowed to the domestic circle,
whose routine is u portion, religiously
guarded, of their respectability. whose
YerY industry, being chiefly needle
work OF a more or less useful nature,
fosters the habit of thinking, which be-
comes perniCious when thought dwells
solely on themselves and their own
tho lives of such women, however,
harmless and pure they may be, must
of strong necessity tend TO their be-
coming bores to all such as have had n
broader mental outlook. The
habit OF dwelling ON trihes, of
becoming prolix abont details,
and garrulous about the most painful
topic the immediate neighborhood sup.
plies, is not speciality perhaps OF the
country lady who has run in the same
grooves all her life; but II is undoubted-
ly well marked attribute of hers. Her
more cosmopolitan sisters may possess
1t but not in the same degree. She has
learned to think too deeply, and to
speak too much about what is purely
local. So she bores those who are be-
yond the local mind, as her brother or
them into the mistaken belief that her
mind is narrower than theirs, simply
because hers has never beer given the
space to expand in.-Ihe DOiCeT House
