A Woman's Conversation.

What woman should aim at in con
versation is not only to entertain by
giving her own thoughts, but at the
same time to draw out those Of others.
especially the bashful and particularly
the bashful men. Nothing plcases a
man so much, nothing gives him such
an idea Of his superiority, as to allow
him an opportunity Of imparting infor-
NATION, though he may not have pene-
tration enough to discern that it is the
tact Of the woman that entices him into
talking about what perhaps he knows
less than she. 4 remember hearing it
remarked Of Mr. Cleveland that she
was charming conyersationalist, be-
cause she always chose topics which she
knew would interest others, and in this
lies the whole secret Of the art Of con-
versing.
A celebrated French woman, who mad
neither wealth, beauty, nor position to
elevate her in social circles, rose to the
highest rank among the court during the
latter days Of royalty, simply by her art
ofpleasing in her conversation. Bril-
liancy in conversation is not the essen
tial characteristic. Some of the most
charming takers are any thing but witty
or learned but the truth is we love TO
hear those speak who really feel what
they say, whose words are choice with
out being studied, and natural and easy
without being childish or slangy. We
love to listen to those whose purity Of
soul shines in their conversation. and
we feel that words are but the persona
fication Of the beauty within.

The FOOLS Nimble Sixpences.

Some clever rascal in London adver-
tised that he would, on receipt of six
pence in stamps, return to the sender
one shilling The advertisement was
published prominently enough to attract
considerable attention, aud It naturally
excited remark. To most persons It
seemed very transparent humbug, too
silly to be called fraud, but there were
few curious individuals who determin-
cd to see whether the advertiser was
crank or whether he had some game, SO
they sent on their sixpences. BY return
mail each ono received the shilling. A
few days after the same advertisement
appeared again in several of the news
papers, and everybody who had tried it
before told all of his friends about it.
The result was that several hundred six
pences were received, and next day as
many shillings went back The third
time the advertisement appeared the
mail received by the clever sharper was
simply enormous. Letters came from
all sorts of people, high and low, rich
and poor. The rogue pocketed several
thousands Of pounds, and, curiously
enough, neglected to make any returns

Germany was received with much grief
at Meriden, Conn, where she was we'll

himself was called away on business.

that the wedding day was TO be named
by mail when his business would have
been completed. This was done, and he
started on his return trip in duo time,
another house having been speedily fur
'nlfsbdl The oxcitomcat, however, prov
ed TOO much for Miss George, and she
was taken to her bed, instead of the
altar on the day which had been chosen
for tho third time. The guests were
assembled at the church, Miss Georges
illness being so sudden that word could
not be sent to them by messenger. The
groom was delayed en- route also, and
while Miss George lay i'll he was push
ing on to fulfill his contract, he, too, ig-
norant of her condition.
When within sight Of the house of his
affianced his horse became unmanage-
able and threw him to the ground, kill
ing him instantly. His death was an
