We are told that Socrates was instruc-
ted in eloquence bya woman. Were
women admitted to plead in courts Of
Jurisdiction, they void carry the elo-
quence of the bar to greater heights than
it has yet arrived at The first kind Of
female orators are those who are employ.
ed in stirring up the passions. The
second kind are tliOse who deal IN invec-
tives, and are c. mmonly called censori-
Gus. With what huency of invention
will they enlarge upon every little slip
in the behavior OF another! With what
variety OF spice will they tell over the
same storyl / have known an old lady
make an unhappy marriage the subject
OF a months conversation. She blamed
the bride in one place, pi,ied her in an
other, laughed at her in the third, won
dered at her in fourth, was angry at
her hith, and in short, wore out pair
of ooacb horses in expressing her c'acern.i
At length she made visit to the new
married pair, praised the wife for the
prudent choice she bad made, told her
the unreasonable reflections which some
malicious people had cast upon her, and
desired that they might become better
acquainted.
A third kind may be comprehendcd
under the word gossip. They launch
out into descri ptions OF christenings, run
divisions upon headdress, know every
dish Of meat that 10 served up in tho
neighborhood.
The coqurtte may be looked upon as
fourth kind. She mates and loves 10
tho same breath; takes 70 her lap uOg or
parrot; is uneasy in all kind Of weather.
She has false quarrels, sighs when she ia
not merry.
AS for newsmongcrs, politicians, MIN
les with other characters which give
birth to loquacity, they are AS commonly
found among men as women. Hudibras
has given a reason why those who can
talk on trihes speak with the greatest
fluency, namely, that the tongue is like
race horse which runs the faster the
less weight it carries.
But there is charm in the music Of
this little instrument, il it is always
turned by good nature, truth. discretion
aud sincerity.-Spectator.

Cost OF Living in New York city.

The New York Times has compared
the cost OF living in New York city in
1878 and 1876, and makes the follow
ing summary:
/. That in the staple articles used in
the household, such as meat, bread,
milk. butter, poultry, coffee, and coal,
there is comparatively no reduction,
but that in fish, tea, vegetables, -four
and eggs there is, according to Wash
ington market prices, on an average
about Is per cent. reduction, As the
cost of these articles, however, in any
household, would not amount to one
fourth of the cost of the articles on
which there is no reduction, it follows
that the average reduction on the prime
necessaries OF household does not
exceed per cent. Among the poor
and middle classes il is generally esti-
mated that about half the income of
the head OF the family is required to
cover these household expenses, 80
that the reduction would amount to
about 2i per cent. on his income.
2. The working classes who purchase
ready-made clothing save, compared
with three years ago, 10 per cent, and
there is a reduction of Is per cent. in
nearly oil that goes to clothe n woman.
II is supposed that the clothing of a
family takes away one-fifth to one
fourth of the income. II this be a
reasonable estimate-and there is no
reason to doubt 1.-THE saving in cloth
ing would be about 3 per cent. of the
years income. On the other hand,
those who purchase clothes to order do
not save anything.
3. Furniture and other supplies, with
rent, take the remainder OF the earn
ings. As the reduction in these items
amount 10 10 or IL per cent. it would
be equal to per cent. on the income.
All of these reductions put together
amonnt to total saving OF about ST
per cent. compared with the sxpendi-
lures OF three years ago. This, OF
course, is a mere estimate, but it ID q
carefsl one, and it is il anything above
rather than below the saving. The es-
innate. OF course, applies to families
who purchase their supplies in the
lowest market, and those who resort to
corner groceries and fourth-rate cloth
ing houses do not, certainly, effect
saving in their purchases.
4. Boarders and those who rent
rooms save perhaps in board and room
rent 8 to per cent, while in clothing
the saving depends altogether, as re-
CARDS the male boarders, on the quail
ity OF the clothing which they pur-
chase. III they buy from fashionable
tailor they win pay the old prices, but
il they are content with the ready
made goods they will save perhaps
from to 4 per cent. Of their income.
