satiouals,s: but this is not always the case.
There was DR.. Blair, whose mind was 50

Sueaknone." Scott was the most genial 10
conversation, aud the pleasant description OF
the author reading bis poems aud novels to his
family and their aiiectiouaie sympathy Is truly
delightful. Dickens, too, WAS gifted in speech
as well as pen, aud perhaps had he enIi'ened
the home circle with his genius his married
life might have been happier. Colerldse and
Wordsworth were both great takers, and
they prof ssed to delight in each other society,
they always avoided meeting because neither
liked to listen. Contemporary with them was
Mr.. TalGurd. of whom Miss Milford says -
:. His conversation is 50 glitteriug. so dazzling
that listening 10 him is like looking at the sun
il makes ones mind ache with excessive bril-
liancy." But he did not possess tho secret oil
pleasaut conversation, for bis talk was more
like an harangue Humorous and witty peo-
pie are always delightful company, but those
who use sarcasm are seldom popular. Some
writer says Of sarcasm 1t is an easy talent,
for the worst wine makes tie best vinegar. -
Poor Goldsmith was often the target for tho
sarcastic wi. Of his friends lie once said to
Beuclerk, i am determined to leave of pre-
scribing for friends" Do So, dear doctor
whenever you undertake to kill, let it be your
enemies" was the reply

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
BY ELLEN P. ALiERTos.

Reautiful faces are those that wear
II matters little If dark or fair
Whole-soued honesty printed there
Beautiful ewes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth fires glow
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like 50 ngs OF BIRDS,
YET Whose utterance prudence girds
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment BY moment, the long day through
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowiest ways, il God wills 1t so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of h0mely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains buticw may guess.
Beautiful twilight. at set OF sun,
Beautiful goal with race well won,
Beautiful rest, with work well done.
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves tall whore drifts lie deep
Over worn-0ut hands-0h, beautiful sleep
