Various things had been 'talked out,' and we were about to want for a subject, when our circle was ioineil hv nn ? ?* J old gentleman, a traveller, who had risen thus betimes to ho early on his journey, and who came to ask permission to sit by our fire and warm before starting,"as there was no other yet lighted. Of course such a request from an elderly weilappearing gentleman was readily granted, and bringing a chair, and seating himself between a cousin of mine and myself, he listened carefullv to our r.onv?ra?tinn After a brief period wo ceased, however and Tor some moments nothing was said by any one; when Joe M?called out for 6orae .one to suggest something to converse on, or we should be asleep. But we had 'said our say,1 and could think of nothing; fortunately, it was not so with our friend, the traveller, who broke in witli,-^'Well, gentlemen, if you have nothing better, let me suggest a subject to you.

Long before the six months closed wo were under promise of marriago, and the day was fixed for our nuptials. 'About this time tickets were issued for a grand ball in a village about twelve miles distant, and it was resolved that a party of in should go, as one of our young men had been made a manager, and was solicitous to have an attendance of his Lome friends. Fanny and myself had, in a conversation previous, been discussing tbe propriety of some of our acquaintances, whose circumstances were similar to ours, paying so much attention to each other in public, and especially of their being so exclusively in each other's society. 'During tho argument I had expressed myself decidedly that persons wvre free while their marriage engagement lasted, tc go with whom they pleased, and, indeed that it was preferable to do so, providec their conduct was unexceptionable other wise. Fanny strongly controverted my position, and claimed that they were as miinli liniinrl hnforA n<5 nftpr mnrrmnrn ir a moral point of view. The subject bac been finally dropped, and, ns I thought without either of us being satisfied tliat th< oilier was right. I was, I confess, some wbafc surprised when tho manager, on band ing me a ticket, said : Well, Frank, you are too late to lab Fanny, this time, for she is already engnget to Tom Ducr. 'The moro I thought of the matter, how ever, the less I wondered, for I supposed that she'd been thinking over what ba< been said, and had either concluded I wai right, or had done this from a desire t< please me. I therefore went and securet the company of a lady friend, one who wa as good a friend of Fanny's as Tom was c me. There was company at home th next night after, and other matters preven icu gnj occiuij uci j cycu iur a muiiieui) L'Hi I wished to do 60 ever so much ; I herefor comforted myself with the reflection that a was well, and did not worry about it.

'f If tbere is anything in the world that n young man should be more thankful for >- than aDot ber. it is the poverty which neJ cessitates lm starting in life under very e great disadvantages. [Poverty is one of II best tests of human quality in existence. A triumph over it is liko graduating with ^ honor from West Point. It demonstrates n stuff and stao.ina. It is a certificate of >" worthy labor creditably performed. A ir young man who cannot stand the test -ii not worth anything. He can ne^er rise 1 I above a drudge or a pauper.

Talking and writing are digestive processes wbicb are absolutely essential to the mental constitution of tbe man who devours books. But it is not every man that cau talk. Talking implies, first of nil, a readiness on tbe part of the speaker, and, ne<t, a sympathetic listener. It is therefore a digestive process the most difficult, if it is the most rapid, in its opera lion. Writing is a different affair; a roan may take his time to it, and not require a reader; he can be his own reader. It is easier,'Although moro formal process of digestion than talking. It is in everybody's poWef; and everybody who reads much makes more or less use of it, because, as bacon says, if he does not write, then he ought to havo extraordinary faculties to compensate for such neglect. It ia in this view llint we are to understand the' copo? plaint of n well-known author that ho . waS ignorant of certain subject, an<Ltho means means by which he was to dispel llwSrfg norance?namely, by writing on it*. It is in this view that tho monitorial pystem o instruction has its great value?to the mon itors it is the best sort of teaching. It ii from the same point of view that Sir Wil liam Ilrmilton used to lament tho decay o teaching as a part of tho education of studtuits at the universities. 'In tho older time it was nerrossnrv lr> Mm nnininmrr nf < degree that the graduate should give evidence of his capacity as a teacher; and ir the very titles of his degree, as magister and doctor, ho was designated a teacher.? A. man never knows anything, Sir Willian used to say, until he has taught it in sonv way or other?it may be orally, it may hi by writing a book. DIFFICULTIES. There are few difficulties that hold ou against real attacks; they fly, like the v?s ble horizon, before those who advance. 1 passionate desire and unwearied will ca perform impossibilities, or what 6eem to such to the cold and feeble.
