In some sense Americans ontcr society at birth- They are born into jt and tho world at tho samo time. Doubtless thex*e are exceptional eases that can givo the date subsequently to babyhood when they were introduced into company. But these arj only anomalies on tho surface?more incidental variations of the ruling fashion which ordains that our countrymen should grow up in society as young tx-ees grow up in old foreBte. Tho young trees are certainly the better for it, and, with its evils, our young people are gainers in certain pbvious Respects by the usage. During their educational period at college our young men are moro orless in society. The habit vanes according to taste, means, and circumstances; but, in the major it 3' of instanced. it is a liabit. "Reimlatftd r?rn perly, it is an excellent habit, as good for the intellect as for the morale, specially valuable as creating that finer aura inwhieh the general sensibility, as distinct from intellctual emotion and 'from the affections, lives and moves and has its being. Perhaps this is one of the causes that contributes its sha^e of developing *:i:* .1 puwcr iaj buu pruiupu vuraitLiiiLjr imu 'ready perccptive energy of our young men. Taking them at the average nge of graduation, they are not as good scholars as the graduates o 1 foreign universities. But they are more active thinkers, more easy and flexiblo in nsing what they know, and more capable of working right into the grooves of society. In brief, their faculties have the social set, the adjusted attitude, which is so large 'an element of success in opening manhood.

Njvoi* try any thing at first in which your success will depend on the n refiued appreciation of the few. Fall into the hour, drop in so naturally that the word said takes tho place belonging by congruity to it, and be sure that it springs from spontaneous suggestion. Nover lug in thtf most sensible thing. Any foVcing," the least symptoms of straining, is instant- . ly fatal. Bulwer says that the art of conversing is the art of weaving your remark into that of another. And ho is right. Tho impulse of sugges- 1 tion is tho great element of success Train' your suggestive fnculty to keen insight and to immediate reciprocity of service. Every thought uttered in cultivated society has some particular angle, from which the brightest of its light flashes toward yon; and if you wa'.ch for this, you will soon get the fact of happy response. This facile suggestivenees is tho very soul of fact. In high perfection it is a matter of nerves and temperament. But it is susceptible of remarKaoio discipline, anu,. in many instances, is simply tlie product of studious attention. Every educated young man should attach great valuo to conversational ability. Not only is it tho most elegant form of address, finding its "welcome way to tho heart' and communicating tho very aroma of your being to others, but it is tho most en obling of culture. De Quineey shows in his essay "On Conversation," that the mind in this way evolves its power in a form generally unlike all other modes of activity. This is mainly due to the easiness and large scope of suggestion. If an educated man will try his intellect in private, or any givon subject, and then go to a friend and converse upon it, ho will see the difference in the freedom and force of suggestiveness. And hence conversation is so acquirable an excellence. The mind gets, on the truest forms, the companionship of others, and this is invaluable to the thinking faculties. - Say what wo will, the intellect is that portion of our nature which needs society more than the sentiments or affections. Books always intensify our personal consciousness. They lead us to measure our selves; they introvert the eye; the}' teach one to listen'to his own heart, throbbings ; and ero wo know, the faxorite book has shut us up in selfinquiries and cummunings. This is useful in certain limits. But it requires a constant corrective, and society supplies it in the art of conversation. Whoever masters this art has added the gifts of others to his own endowments, has enriched his life with the rarest treasures of other lives, and has learned at the same time one of the manifold meanings of that all , revealing text: "It is more Heated t> give than to receive." A man's thoughts never perfect ,their worth to himself until he gives them to others.

The band that unites them sprang originally from the lower portion of I each breast-bone, and at first held thorn face to face, but, by efforts in childhood, they were enabled to stand nearly shoulder to shoulder. Their inner arms are usually crossed behind each other's backs, but they can bring them forward over eaeh other's heads, which is quite a curious movement, and are thus enabled to use all their hands, as at meals. The cartilaginous band which joins them is'about four inches long and seven in circumference, at the centro. Tho nerves of eaeh extend a little beyond the middle of the band, so that a touch about an incli ^ on either side of the centre is felt by uuiu. j-iicrw is, t?i course, a sugm communication of tho blood vessels but no interchange of blood, and nc mutual dependence of circulation 01 j respiration.

Make few promises. Live up to your engagements. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person, look him in the face. Good company and good conversation are the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else. Tour character cannot be essentially injured, ex cept by yourown acts. Ifone speaks evil of you, let your life be such that none will believo him. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. Always live, miafortuno accepted, within your income.
