There is a helpful suggestion in this

Good reading not only broadens the
mind and gives new ideas, but IL also
increases ones vocabulary, and that is
a great aid to conversation. Many PEG
pie have good thoughts and ideas, bot
they cannot express them because OF
the poverty Of their vocabulary. They
have not words enough to clothe their
ideas and to make them attractive,
They talk around in circle, repeat and

ticular word to convey their exact
meaning, they cannot find 1t.
II you are ambitious to talk well,

society of well-bred, cultured people.

Too Self-Denying.

Jack loved Amanda dearly;
She gave him all her heart,
But intimated clearly
That he and she must part
Unless he gave up trifing ways
And cut out them three-ring displays
Jack threw away his brier,
Tobacco and cigars;
Chucked cards into the fire;
Quit drinking at the bars:
He gave up everything almost
Excepting mush and tea and toast
Amanda, proud at seeing
Her Jack another man,
Got all her friends agreeing
To initiate her plan;
And started buying right away
Her trousseau for the wedding day.
Jacks love of self-denial,
Robust with exercise,
Drove him TO one last trial
The crowning sacrifice
Though almost more than he could do,
He gave up sweet Amanda, too.
