The French alone have found pregnant word for
its absence; and of few single words can it be said
of that French word, that in it is consummated
of the most frequent causes of individual fail

of silence.
Undoubtedly there is much wisdom in occasional
silence; at any rate, the silent man IS in England
more likely to be considered a deep mind than the
fluent tallcr. But whatever people may say about
silence being good, it is historically certain that
gold likes talk, and has at all times flown into the
