4 chnnter ON Ietter writing.

In youth we open many correspondence
which has no reason for being and continue
it long after all parties are tired of it, simply
for consistencys sake or from fear of hurt
ing somebody's feelings. "Surely,n they say,
''you can SPARE time TO write few lines to
an old friend now and then" 1t would seem
so, surely. but let US examine the matter.
One can sit down and scribble few lines
with pencil in five minutes But that is
not the kind 1f "few linesn which the expos
tulation implies Whatever is worth doing
at all is worth doing well, and a hurried
note, evidently written from mere sense of
duty, is uncomplimentary rather than COM
plimentarv to the recipient. But it will be
found that the completion Of a satisfactory
letter viii demand on an average one hour.
aside from the mere process Of writing,
there are numberless accompaniments which
take time and make trouble. The writing
paper, envelope, pen, penholder, ink, blot
ting paper, postage stamp, and perhaps also
the seal, wax and taper, must be procured
and put into proper shape Often some or
all Of these accompaniments are not forth
coming Immediately, or are out OF order.
Then the letter from the friend must be re
read and all its points noted. All these
things take time and involve the expenditure
OF nerve force, and so, OF course uOes thS
composition Of the letter itself. Then the
letter must be read over, corrected, amended,
folded, inclosed, scaled, addressed, stamped,
weighed and posted. It is really quite la
bOrious and complicated affair, this appar-
emily simple inscription Of a ''few lines"
and if one has it to attend TO twenty times
over, for the benefit OF twenty pertinacious
correspondents, it will become shortly a
grievous burden and an intolerable tax on
his time and strength.
What thenl Shall we never communicate
with our friendsl Not so; but reduce the
number Of correspondents, and frankly tell
the chosen few that you have not time to
write often or regularly, If that be the case.
It is very easy to make the requisite elimina-
tion. We all know, in our secret hearts,
which of our friends are most valuable, and
which Of them are Of little value or posi-
lively harmful. The selection made, little
courage is all that is requisite for the next
step. It may be disagreeable duty, but
duty is often disagreeabls, and is meant to
be so. If duty were always agreeable, there
would not be much virtue in being virtuous.
