animated

animated companions above described, which is feldom feen in those educated in private families; and which, as before obferved, gives a preference to fchool education.

"To speak agreeably in respect to manner, confifts in a voice clear, yet not loud; foft, yet not plaintive; with diftinct articulation, and with graceful attitudes rather than with graceful actions; as almost every kind of gefticulation is difagreeable. In refpect to the matter it fhould be fuch, as coincides with the tales or purfuits of thofe, to whom the converfation is addreffed. From hence it will appear, that both to hear well, and to fpeak well, requires an extenfive knowledge of things, as well as of the taftes and purfuits of mankind; and must therefore ultimately be the effect of a good education in general, rather than a particular article of it.

"There are, however, faults to be avoided, and cautions to be obferved, in the converfation of young ladies; which fhould be pointed out to them by the governefs of a boardingfchool. Of thefe I fhall mention first, that whenever the thirft of fhining in converfation feizes on the heart, the vanity of the speaker becomes apparent; and we are difgufted with the manner, whatever may be the matter of the difcourfe.

"Secondly, that it is always childifh, and generally ridiculous, when young people boast of their follies, or when they accufe themselves of virtues; neither of which they probably poffefs in the degree, which they defcribe. A young lady was heard to fay, "I am frightened to death at the fight of a bird." And another, that he was fo inconfiderate, as to give her money to the poor naked children, whom the faw in the streets in winter.

"Thirdly, they fhould be apprifed, that there is danger in fpeaking ill even of a bad perfon; both be caufe they may have been mifinformed, and because they fhould judge their neighbours with charity. A friend of mine was once asked by a young man how he could diftinguish, whether the lady, whom he meant to addrefs, was good tempered; and gave this anfwer: "When any dubious accufation is brought in converfation against an abfent perfon; if the always inclines to believe the

worft fide of the queftion, she is tempered." There are fome nice diftinctions on this fubje&t of goodnature, delivered in Lady Penning ton's Advice to her Daughters, p 89, which are worth a young lady's attention.

"Fourthly, that it is dangerous for a young lady to fpeak very highly in praife even of a deferving man; if the extols his actions, the will feem to give herfelf the importance of a judge, and her determinations will fometimes be called in question, and to commend highly the perfon of a man, is in general eftimation inconfiftent with the delicacy of the fex at

any age.

"Fifthly, young ladies fhould be advifed not to accuftom themselves to the use of ftrong affeverations, or of a kind of petty oaths, fuch as

[ocr errors]

upon my honour," in their converfation; nor often to appeal to others for the truth of what they affirm; fince all fuch strong expreffions and appeals derogate fomewhat from the character of the speaker; as they give an intimation, that he has not been ufually believed on her fimple affertion.

"Sixthly, laughing vehemently aloud, or tittering with fhort shrieks, in which fome young ladies, who have left school, indulge themselves at cards or other amufements, are reprehenfible; as their dignity of character muft fuffer by appearing toe violently agitated at trivial circumftances.

"Seventhly, an uniform adherence to fincerity in converfation is of the firft importance; as without it our words are but empty founds, and can no more intereft our companions than the tinkling of a bell. No artificial polish of manners can compensate for the apparent want of this virtue, nor any acquirements of knowledge for the reality of the want of it. Hence though the excess of blame or praise of the actions of others may be impru dent or improper in the converfation of young ladies; as mentioned in the third and fourth articles of this fection; yet in these, as in all other kinds of conversation, their opinions fhould be given with truth, if given at all; but when the characters of others are concerned, they fhould be delivered with diffidence and modefty.

"Laftly, if at any time any im proper discourse should be addreffed
