The Art of Conversation.

One of the greatest pleasures of life
is conversation; and the pleasures of
conversation are of course enhanced by
every increase of knowledge; not that
we should meet together to talk of aka
hes and angels, or to add our stock of
history OF philology, though little of
these things is no bad ingredient in con-
versation; but let the subject be what it
may, there is always a prodigious differ
ence between the conversation of those
who have not enjoyed this advantage
Education gives fecundity of thought,
eopiousness of illustration, quickness,
vigor, fancy, words, images, and illus
tration; it decorates every common
thing, and gives the power of trifing
without becoming undignifed and alb
surd. The subjects themselves may not
be wanted, upon which the talents of an
educated man have been exercised; but
there is always demand for those tai
ents which his education has rendered
strong and quick. Now, really, nothing
can be farther from our intention than
to say anything rude and unpleasant;
but it must be excused for observing
that it is very common thing to be in
terested by the variety and extent of
female knowledge, but it is a very COM
mon thing to lament, that the finest diff
fculties in the world have been confined
to trifes utterly unworthy of their rich
ness and their strength.

The London Liquor Traffic.

1t is estimated that were all the gin
palaces and other drinking places in the
metropolis put side by side, they would
extend 100 miles. A 'spublic house"
stands at every street corner; it is i'm
possible to walk three minutes in any
direction in any part of London without
passing one or more liquor shops. Their
gaudy signs and glaring gas lamps stare
you in the face, go which way you will.
.Publics" were, in olden times, intended
to furnish meat and drink for man and
beast y but nowadays the 'smeal for
man and beast" is conspicuous by it's ad-
sence. In no city in the world are the
facilities for obtaining alcohol in all its
forms so great as in this "City of
Towns" A total abstainer is quite a
curiosity; men drink, women drink,
children drink. The poorest man must
have his beer to his dinner and supper
I'm some of the agricultural counties
they take beer to breakfast.) The
worst feature of the liquor traffic in this
country is its relation to the family.
Search England through and | will
guarantee that In ninety-nine cases out
of every hundred you will find it reg
ular custom to keep wine or beer in
larger or smaller quantities. 1t is taken
to dinner, luncheon and supper, equally
in the lowest as in the highest circles.
To ask a man to your house, and not
offer him drink in some form, is to be
considered at once as most inhospitable.
Alcohol is the balm in Gilead used to
soothe the ruffied spirits of enemies, the
cementer of friendships, the seal upon
bargains, the form of gratuity of Cabby
who drives your Honor, or the man who
delivers your coal, and the panacea for
all the ills that flesh is heir to.
Some years ago in the belief that it
would lesson the enormous amount OF
public drinking, an act was passed au-
thorizing grocers to sell beer, wines and
spirits in quantities not less than whole
bottle, on condition that the liquor was
not drank ON the premises. This may
have lessened the quantity drunk in pub
lie, but it is complained that it has given
an opportunity to women and others for
private tippling, who would otherwise be
free from the temptation. Efforts have
also been made to reduce the evil by
contracting the hours wherein liquor
might be sold. A growing party, rep
resented in Parliament by Sir Wilfrid
Lawson, are in favor of pressing local
permissive bill; but such legislation is
regarded with great jealousy as an In
fringement of the liberty of the subject,
and it is very unlikely to become law
so long as government with such strong
''imperial" instincts as Lord Beacons-
| fields is in office.

and take the punishment, though in this
case it must be admitted the punish
| ment was something of the scapegoat
| kind, than to tell falsehood and escape.
So thought some of the magistrates.
For one of them said to Mrs. Fenner,
| eve are sorry for you, Mrs. Fenner,
and for Robert. But William Bevan is
notorious stone thrower, and is always
IN mischief. We are determined to pun
ish him, and we must punish "both."
A fine was inflicted, which, with costs,
amounted to about fifteen shillings
This would have come hard upon Bobby
mother flor her husband was away at
sea), but that the aforementioned mag
istrate, wise and kind man, said pri-
vately, "You shall not lose the money
| l will make it up to you, for / wo lid
rather be the father of a boy who tells
the truth and gets punished, than of one
who lies and escapes" So though the
boy had painful lesson concerning the
choice of companions and throwing
stones, / do not think he is thought less
of than before.
When his father came home from sea,
he had, of course, to be told the disagree
able news, but the unpleasantness was
much mitigated by finding that his son
had boldly told the truth, when the truth
must have been hard to tell, and that he
was respected much more than he was
blamed. This was the episode in Bob's
life, and so say, May every mothers
boy among you never give his parents
more cause to complain of him than

sPaula, he said, at length, after he
had rubbed the little hands to a glow,
wishing all the while that he could kiss

wished he might kiss that, too. "Paula,

Quickly Paula sat erect.
"Dr Stone," she said, tremulously,

A Daring Attempt.

On the night of Tuesday last, the Sd
instant, some thieves broke into the
station at Milbrae, and attempted to
burglarize Halls fire and burglar proof
safe belonging to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Co. They removed the safe,
which wighed 1000 pounds, from the
building, and after selecting the heaviest
tools they could find in the tool house,
which was also ransacked, endeavored
with sledges, crow-bars, picks, ETC., to
force the door. Not succeeding In this,
they threw the safe down on its face and
attempted to break open the burglar
proof box in the back. Herr agai n
however, they were completely foi.ed
and were compelled to desist. We un
derstand that the safe contained con
siderable amount of specie End Other
valuables belonging to the railroad com
pany, all of which the robbers failed te
obtain access to.-San Francisco Stock

"HoLD THE FoRT. Everybody sings
"Hold the Fort" but few know the orr

Inter-Ocean gives the following: "There

Kennesaw Mountain, which was being
badly pressed by the Confederate forces.
When Sherman reached Kennesaw he
signaled to Altoona, which was COM
manded by Gen. Corse, Hold the Fort,
for l am coming The message was
seen and read by the men at the fort,
and as reply was necessary, General
Corse ordered the young officer standing
near to send the reply-'Wave the an
swer back to Sherman that he hold the
fort. It was easy to order, but while
rebel bullets were flying thick and fast
several members of the signal corps de
clined to signal, until General Corse was
impatient, when the young officer above
referred to grasped the flag, mounted the
dangerous post and waved the answer

THE ENGINE.

Into the gloom Of the deep, dark night,
With painting breath and startled scream;
Swift as bird In sudden fight,
Darts this creature OF steel and steam
Awful dangers are lurk night
Rocks and chasms are near the track,
But straight by the light OF its great eye
It speeds through the shadows, dense and black.
Terrible thoughts and deep desires
Trouble its mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and smoder the hidden fires,
Coupled oyer with might and power.
II hates, ss . wild horse hates, tho rein,
The narrow track by vale or hill;
And shrieks with cry Of startled pain,
And longs to follow its own wild win.
Oh, what am but an engine, shod
With muscle aud flesh by the hand Of God,
Speeding on through the dense, dark night,
Guided alone by the souls white light!
Often and often my mad heart tires,
And hates is way with bitter hate,
And longs 70 follow its own desires,
And leave the ends In the hands OF fate.
o, mighty engine Of steel and steam;
o. human engine Of blood and bone,
Follow the white lights certain beam.
There lies safety, and there alone.
