CoNVERsATIoN.-Said Henry
Taylor: Conversation is, in truth,
an exercise very dangerous to tho
understanding when practiccd to
any large measure rs an art or m
amusement. TO be ready to speak
boloro he has time to think, to say
something apt and spocious, some
thing which he may worry well DO
supposed to think, when he has
nothing to say that no really docs
think, to say what is consistent
with what he has said before, to
touch topics lightly and lot them
go-thcse are tho arts Of convcr.
sationalist. Nothing is searched
out by conversation Of this kind,
nothing is heartily beloved, whoth
cr by those who say it or those
who hear it. 1t may DO easy,
graceful, clcvor and sparkling, and
bits of knowledge may bo plcnti-
fully tossed to and fro in it; but it
will be vain and unproftabio; it
may cultivate a certain mioaoeous,
sandy surface Of the mind, but all
that lies below will DO unmovod
and unsunned. 10 say that it is
vain and nnproitablc, is, indeed,
to say too little; for the habit of
thinking with view to convcrsa.
tional effect, will inevitably cor.
rupt the understanding, which will
mover again be sound and sincere.
