The art of ' conversation i* a rare gift, and to bo ciilti- ' vatud ac one wonrld cultivate any desirable art. With some it is a spontaneous facul tv ; wilh'all. it can be acquired in a great er or less degree of perfection. An old book upon etiquette, among an immense deal oH waddle, contains somt* grains, of sound sense, which would profit all to heed. , On the subject of conversation, we are told to "interrogate without display, not to interrupt n profitable speaker, nor desire ambitiously to put in a word of one's own, to be measured in speaking and hearing, not to-lie ashamed of receiving, or to be grndginrr of information. nor in nnss ?n..i ln.i-V knowledge tor one's own."

MoualCourage.?Sidney Smith, in his work on moral philosophy, speaks in this wise of what men lose for want of a little moral courage or independence of the mind : "A great deal of talent, is lost, in the. world for the want of a little moral courago. Every day sends to the grave a number of obscure men who have only remained in oh-curity because their timirlity has prevented them from making a first effort and who, if they could have been indnced to Iwgin, would, in all probability, have gone great length? in the career of fame. The fact is, that to do anything in thrs world worth do ing. we must not stand back shivering, and thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. It will not do to be perpetually calculating tasks ami adjusting: nice chances; it did very well before the llooo, when a man could consult his friends upon an intended publication for one hundred Bnd fifty years, and then live'to see it*-success afterward, but at present a man waits and hesitates, and consults his brother, and his uncle, and particular frierrds. till, one fine day. lie folds that he is sixty years of age; then he has lost so much time in consulting his first cousin and particular friends, that he has no more time to follow their advice." The Cranbkiirt.?Very many persons are deterred from cuhivatingthe cranberry because they have been influenced by the complicated and expensive processes supposed to bo necessary. I have eaten ns handsome cranberries the present winter an 1 ever saw, which were rained ii?this manner : A man obtained some vines throi years old, in a neighboring town, took his hoe and proceeded to a wet spot in his grapa field, struck in his hoe, put in a vine, trod it down with his foot, arrd so on, and then said to the grass and vines, do your best for the miiMerv. The vines crr?w. nnrl lie has had cranberries to Kelt. Though this may not be the best method, yet I believe that they may be'raised in thousands of places in sutficient quantities for family uso without any particular difficulty.
