Simplicity is a great charm in letter-writing. Whatyou send in a letter, is, as a general rule, intended forthe perusal of one person only. Therefore to cumberyour epistles with quotations, similes, flowery language,and a stilted, pedantic style, is in bad taste. You mayuse elegant language, yet use it easily. If you use aquotation, let it come into its place naturally, as ifflowing in perfect harmony with your ideas, and let it beshort. Long quotations in a letter are tiresome. Makeno attempt at display in a correspondence. You will erras much in such an attempt, as if, when seated face toface with your correspondent, alone in your own apartment,you were to rise and converse with the gesturesand language of a minister in his pulpit, or a lecturerupon his platform.
Letters of Congratulation demand a cheerful,pleasant style, and an appearance of great interest.They should be written from the heart, and the cordial,warm feelings there will prompt the proper language.Be careful, while offering to your friend the hearty congratulationsher happy circumstances demand, that youdo not let envy at her good fortune, creep into yourhead, to make the pen utter complaining words at yourown hard lot. Do not dampen her joy, by comparingher happiness with the misery of another. There aremany clouds in the life of every one of us. While thesun shines clearly upon the events of your friend's lifelet her enjoy the brightness and warmth, unshadowed byany words of yours. Give her, to the full, your sympathyin her rejoicing, cheerful words, warm congratulations,and bright hopes for the future. Should there be, at thetime of her happiness, any sad event you wish to communicateto her, of which it is your duty to inform her,write it in another letter. If you must send it the same[122]day, do so, but let the epistle wishing her joy, go alone,unclouded with the news of sorrow. At the same time,avoid exaggerated expressions of congratulation, lest youare suspected of a desire to be satirical, and avoid underliningany words. If the language is not forcible enoughto convey your ideas, you will not make it better by underliningit. If you say to your friend upon her marriage,that you wish her "joy in her new relations, andhope she may be entirely happy in her domestic life,"you make her doubt your wishes, and think you mean toridicule her chances of such happiness.
Remember, as an imperative, general rule, in whateverchurch you may be, whether at home or abroad,conform to the mode of worship whilst you are in thatchurch. If you find, in these modes, forms which aredisagreeable to you, or which shock your own ideas of[157]religion, avoid a second visit, but do not insult the congregation,by showing your contempt or disapproval,whilst you are among them. Silence, quiet attention,and a grave, reverential demeanor, mark the Christianlady in church.
One lady will enter society, well-dressed, well-looking,polite; she does not intend to chill it by her presence;yet her absence is found a relief. She takes her placeas if she considered it sufficient to dress and look well.She brings no stock to the community of ideas. Her[180]eyes return no response to the discourse which is goingon. When you have once glanced at her, she becomesa mere expletive in the company.
The art of imparting our ideas easily and elegantly toothers, may be improved by ourselves, if there are opportunitiesof mingling in good society, with little study.The mind must first be cultivated; but it should notabash those who are conscious of moderate talents, orimperfect cultivation, from taking a due part in conversation,on account of their inferiority. It is a very differentthing to shine and to please; to shine in societyis more frequently attempted than compassed: to pleaseis in the power of all. The effort to shine, when fruitless,brings a certain disgrace, and engenders mortification;all good people are inclined to take the will for the[182]deed, when they see a desire to please. A gentle, deferential,kind manner, will disarm even the most discerningfrom criticising too severely the deficiencies of the inexperienced;confidence, disrespect of others, volubility,eagerness to dispute, must irritate the self-love of others,and produce an averseness to acknowledge talent or information,where they may even happen to exist.
"Exercise on horseback is not equally attainable withthe two modes which I have just specified; when it is,the accelerated circulation, the change of scene and ofideas, are highly beneficial. Where the lungs are weak,it is thought by the learned to possess a great advantageover walking, as it does not hurry the breathing. Thegentleness of the exercise enables a delicate person toenjoy the advantage of open air and motion for a muchlonger period than could be endured in the action ofwalking. From the tendency of horse exercise to equalizethe circulation and stimulate the skin, it is invaluable,too, for the nervous and dyspeptic portion of youngwomen, among whom, unhappily, such complaints arebut too prevalent.

To learn how to letexternal programs (for example a web browser) trigger Org to capturematerial, see Protocols for External Access.

Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy (SATPP) is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal of original research and scholarship that focuses on policy issues in the treatment and prevention of substance use disorders. Separate and often disparate public systems deal with substance use problems as well as provide treatment and prevention. This journal will provide an environment for the exchange of ideas, new research, consensus papers, and critical reviews that bridge fields that share a common goal of reducing the problems caused by drugs and alcohol. The agenda is simple; a new forum for integrating thoughts, issues, and developments.
Powell died recently, but not before a documentary filmmaker caught up with him in France, where he had been based for several decades while doing good things around the world. The footage of his interview indicated that Powell had not read or touched the book since he wrote it almost 50 years ago and that he had renounced it and its ideas, hoping it would go out of print. The problem for Powell is the sense that his book inspired several notorious terrorists, both right- and left-wing, over the last several decades. Powell was visibly pained by this realization, and died shortly after the interview. 2ff7e9595c
