But
all
these
vices
of
manner
may
be
avoided
by
a
gentle
attention
and
a
certain
calm
dignity
of
manner,
based
upon
a
reflective,
cultivated
mind.
Observation,
reading,
and
study,
will
form
the
groundwork
for
good
powers
of
conversation,
and
the
more
you
read,
study,
and
see,
the
more
varied
and
interesting
will
be
your
topics.
A
young
lady
should
consider
music
as
one
branch
of
her
education,
inferior,
in
importance,
to
most
of
those
studies
which
are
pointed
out
to
her,
but
attainable
in
a
sufficient
degree
by
the
aid
of
time,
perseverance,
and
a
moderate
degree
of
instruction.
Begun
early,
and
pursued
steadily,
there
is
ample
leisure
in
youth
for
the
attainment
of
a
science,
which
confers
more
cheerfulness,
and
brings
more
pleasure
than
can
readily
be
conceived.
A
young
lady
should
be
able
to
play
with
taste,
correctness,
and
readiness,
upon
the
general
principle
that
a
well
educated
woman
should
do
all
things
well.
This,
I
should
suppose,
is
in
the
power
of
most
persons;
and
it
may
be
attained
without
loss
of
health,
of
time,
or
any
sacrifice
of
an
important
nature.
She
should
consider
it
as
an
advantage,
a
power
to
be
employed
for
the
gratification
of
others,
and
to
be
indulged
with
moderation
and
good
sense
for
her
own
resource,
as
a
change
of
occupation.
Consider
in
this
light,
music
is
what
Providence
intended
it
to
be--a
social
blessing.
The
whole
creation
is
replete
with
music,--a
benignant
Power
has
made
the
language
of
the
feathered
tribe
harmony;
let
us
not
suppose
that
He
condemns
his
other
creatures
to
silence
in
the
song.
