 The most delightfully."- worthwhile of all accomplishments is. to my mind, that of writing charming letters. however sweet song may be, 1t is svanescent as a breath, and survives IS divine memory only. Conversa- tion requires the actual presence of those engaged in it, and the pleasure 1t gives depends upon many things--a melodious voice, an attractive appear ance. maybe cheerful rooms, congenial surroundings, freedom from the cares and interruptions of life. But it mat ters not how cold and bare garret may be, nor how forbidding it's out look upon the chimney-pots under a wintry sky, or whether the lodge be In wilderness or foreign land: given some measure of leisure, good stationery and a convenient post office, all the world may be ours We may daily send forth, on white wings, our highest thoughts and most gracious words, and full need of appreciation will surely return to us
 Such correspondence may be inde- pendent of the formalities of an intro duction. No third person is needed if we wish to congratulate an artist or author, or express our gratitude to philanthropist, philosopher or poet. These dwellers in the realms of thought are peculiarly susceptible to this deli cate form of flattery. Momentous con- sequences have occasionally been the outgrowth of acquaintance thus begun. knew happy marriage to result from such correspondence with poet, and we all have known friend ships, ending only with life, which have been nourished as they were be- gun, by letters only.
 Of course, in the high thinking that must govern correspondence bringing about such results, formulas of ex- pression and matters of stationary are quite swept into the background. And yet fancy the initial letters in most cases must be immaculate-prim, trig. little affairs, neat and trim as an epi- gram, producing something like the impression one receives from a per- fectly-gloved hand extended for its first greeting.
 ~hS hsiouuSsoIy tCLteTS must Dc happily worded-cela va sans dire-but l am sure they should also be neatly written. One should have an alcohol lamp, or roll of the wax tapers sold for the purpose, and still air in the room to properly seal let ters. With the seal and evelope be- fore you, turn one end of the stick of wax rapidly over the flame, not near enough to ignite it, and it is creamy and ready to drop, then deftly dub it round and round over the point of the envelope flap until enough is deposited, when the dab of wax may be held moment immediately over the flame. Then firmly press the seal into it. If a drop of the hot wax is first placed under the point of the flap the seal will be less likely to break. A well-cut seal will never stick, and practice will insure a firm impression. with the wax nodded neatly and even- ly around the seal. In all this, pray be careful! Remember Mrs. Longfel- lows sad fate from the lace of her gown catching fire as she sealed her letters!-Delineator.
