To Talkative Young People.

BISHOP BERRIDGE being once visited by a talkative young lady, who, forgetting the modesty of her sex, and the superior gravity of an aged divine, engrossed all the conversation of the interview with small talk concerning herself. When she arose to retire, he said, “Madam, before you withdraw, I have one piece of advice to give you; and that is, When you go into company again, after you have talked half an hour without intermission, I recommend it to you to stop a while, and see if any other of the company has anything to say.”
Perhaps this advice may be useful to some of our little readers.
