If you cannot, in the harvest, Garner up tho richest sheaves Many a grain, both ripe and golden. Which tho careless reaper leaves, You can glean among tho briers Growing rank against the wall, For it may bo that their shadow Hides the heaviest wheat of all. Do not, thon, stand idly waiting . For somo greater work to do; Fortuue is a lazy goddess, Sho will never nome to you. Go and toil in any vineyard, Do not foar to do or dare; If you want a field of labor, You can find it anywhere. Conversation. It ia - somewhat singular how few per? sons there aro who are ready and inter? esting conversationalists. This is per? haps owing to tho fact that there is too little pains taken with oar young folks to induce the habit of thinking over what they seo, hear aud read, aud then put? ting their thoughts into language that will interest. Our young people rend but little that is really improving, or not being trained to put even that little to good service, their conversation is generally made np of trifles aud light nonsense, very close? ly resembling the froth ou a bumper of champagne-sparkling, but extremely light. They graduate early in the light persiflage common in general society, and as a rule seem to think it all that is necessary to entitle them to high honors as entertaining and even witty person? ages, and their gay spirits and merry hearts make their rather silly trash pass current for more than it is worth. But of an evening, when out in com? pany, quietly listen to tho elders-those who do not dauce-aud what is tho gen? eral tone? Servants, a little morceau of scandal, or that never ending subject of interest to some parents, the smart sayings and doings of their remarka? ble children, and the weather, com? prise about all tho topics under discus? sion, with rare exceptions. Occasionally you will meet with a lady who has read and is not afraid of being thought a blue stocking, will discuss tho works she has read, and eau form and give you an opinion upon their merits and demerits, which sbo has uot taken from a review; or who, loving the drama enough to have a close acquaintance with Shakspeare, Beaumont, Goldsmith, Fletcher, aud others of their ilk, is quito capable of appreciating a good play and of oriticising it when badly played, as good plays too often are. But these la? dies aro raro aves, somewhat like oa?es on that great desert of Bocioty, whero the light and glitter, like the mirage the thirsty traveler sees, is ever promising pleasure to thro intellect which it does not give. Mero talkativeness is not a sign that tho speaker is capable of utter? ing anything worth the hearing or re? membering. Sometimes it would be well if a "bridle could be put upon tho tongue" of those who talk too freely, or if what they said could be forgotten as soon as said, for it is too often mischiev? ous in its uature, "talking they k^ow not why, and care not what," or who is wounded by it. They do not converse, but babble Some one has said that uo one caa be brilliant in conversation who is not caustic and a little given to scan? dal. This is not true, for ono of the most delightful conversationalists we have over mot, never spoke an ill-natured word, or made an uncharitable remark. There is no doubt that a close, observ? ant, fluent cynio does make an hour's conversation glide rapidly by, but you tire of the tone.so oue-sided that it will not acknowledge to auj thing good under the sun, and you turn with oagerness to the gentler nature that, though not so sparkling, perhaps, is more just, and may be as witty. It is a singular fuct that mauy who write easily cannot converse with pleas? ure, either to themselves or to their lis? teners. Give them pen, ink aud paper, and thoir thoughts flow rapidly ; jest, quip, and repartee, gush with a delicious freeness ; memory throws open her well lined chambers, and culls out every ra? dient gem that will euhanco tho beauty of the subject they are handling. Fancy, liko a willing hand maid, stands on the qui rive, to throw in nil tho bright sparkles needed-reason, with her solid beauties, is at her side, enger to do duty, aud eloquence and wit will guido the pen. But placo tho same persons in company, and niue times out of ton, ail these faculties play them false, aud they stutter and stammer through Borne dis? connected, unmeaning or stilted speech, whoso obscurity brings tho blush to thoir cheek as they think it over after? wards. Coleridge, ono of tho most no? ted conversationalists, or rather monol? ogists of tho literary world, is said to havo almost lost the ability to write well, before tho development of his grand conversational powers, and after they wero so strongly marked ho wrote little or nothing. Tho persons who can listen well, and yet who can offer ready suggestions, throwiug in hero aud Ibero a remark that will bring out all tho capability of those around, ure often doomed interest? ing talkers, when in reality tho secrot lies in the tact they possess of drawing oat the poworfl-of those with whom they aro in contact; and they aro generally popular, for every ono who can talk at ell, likea ft good listener. f . " A oloap reading of good authors, an apt memory, a graceful ease in bringing in n happy quotation, au observant eye, quick to catch what may be passing around, and travel, constitute all tho in? gredients necessary to make a really brilliant conversationalist. Though one may bo eloquent without all these ele? ments, no ono can converse well who has not thought thoroughly upon some subject. Tho mind must be trained to analyze, decompose and reconstruct, and then the language with which the thought is clothed will be eloquence. Conversation can be, and should be, cultivated as au art. Like auy other accomplishment, it can bo acquired with moro or less trouble, according to tho natural capacity for it; and like reading aloud with expression and case, it is something that cannot cost too much trouble iu its acquirement. Theso two stand at tho topmost round of tho ladder of elegaut accomplishments, for music itself must yiold the palin to thom. Sooio converso freely with all alike; others caunot talk well without cougo nial spirits round-like the fire in tho flint, it must bo struck with antagonistic steel, to Hash; but these talkers aro ofteu tho most witty and original, aud when once in full vein, are well worth listen? ing to. In reading, that it may bo of service in conversation, dp not read as a pastime, but reflect aud digest thorough? ly tho idea tho author wishes to incul? cate, and weigh its merit; comparo it with other writers on tho samo subject, and do not fear to read and re-read; then put your thoughts upon it into words, aud speak them to somo friendly critic. lu this manner, you will ncquiro tho art of conversation.-Neto Orleans Times.
