THE ELECTIONS. -DEAR EXPOSITOR,
—The announcement in last week's
issue of the 1xeter Times has set Muni-
cipal electio s all _ a stir here. As a
ratepayer I would make a few sugges-
tions. • That our present Reeve, Dr.
Rollins, who has so , ably, filled
the chair, be re-elected by accla-
mation, and T. II: "'McCallum be nom-
inated for Deputy -Reeve, to Oppose Mr.
W. Bisset, present Deputy, who has
filled that position for a number of
years. No .doubt the contest would be
a keen one, Mr. Bissett being supported
by a large relative vote. But, Mac is a
genial, good fellow, has ably filled the
5
position of Councillor for a number Of
years, conscientiously working to pro-
mote the general welfare and interest
of our village and no doubt, if elected,
would be the right man in the right
place. I would further suggest that E.
Christie and J. Oke be brought in the
field for. councillors. Mr. Christie is
well known; also Mr. -Oke, a right good
fellovd and has long been a citizen of
our village, and would make a good
COu ncillor. —RATEPAYER.

d
If He Were a Woman.
- The author of "Helen's Babies" says
in the Buffalo Conner: If I were 'ee
Woman I would intrust my appearance
more to,Dame Nature than to the dress-
maker, .for I see that healthy women
attract More attentien than exqusitely
dressed invalids. 1 would regard my
health as my fortune, to be respected
accordingly by others as myself. I
would spend a great deal of time out
of doors, even if I eouldn't do it except
byweeding my,own garden. I would read
nd study as much as .my father, hus-
band, brother or son, so as never to be
regarded as " only a, woman." I would
ever treat a man of doubtful moral
haracter as any better than a woman
-Of the same sort. I know how men re -
gull women who "make allowancee"
for men whose lives are not what they
khould be. I would 'never regard a
roere admirer as a possible husband, nor -
ceept adniiratiou as a substitute for
ve. I have seen thousands of dogs ea-
much admired as women. I would
"cut ". any male acquaintanee who
talked sense to men,•but trivialities to
me.
Conversation.
A talent for COnl'erstrtion has an ex-
raorclinary value for common, every -
ay life. Any one who has the gift en-
ters in a social circle anywhere. How
every one's fa.ce brightens at his exter-
ence ! How Noon he sets all the little
wheels in motion, encouraging the re-
sources of the reserved and shy, sub-
sidizing the facile, and making every-
body glad anchhappy ?
To converse.well is not to engross the
conversation. It is not to do all the
talking. It is hot necessary , to talk
with very great brilliancy.: A man may
talk with such surpassing power and
splendor as to awe the rest of the COM
pany -into silence, or excite their envy,
and so produce a chill where his aim
should be to produce beat and sunshine.
He should Beek` the art of making °there
feel quite at home with him, so that,
no matter how great may be his attain-
ments or reputation, or how small may
be theirs, they find it just as natural
and pleasant talking to him as hearing
him Wk. The talent for convereetion,
indeed, more than anything else in life,
requires tact and discretion. It requires
one to have more varied knowledge,
and to,have it at instant and absolute
disposal, .80 that he can use Just as
much or just as little as the occasien
demands. It requires the ability to
pass instantly, and with ease from the
playful to the serious, from books to
men, and from the mere .phrese oi
courtesy to the expression of sentiment
and passion.
