There are many talkers, but few who know how to converse agreeably. Speak distinctly, neither too rapidly nor too slowly. Accommodate the pitch of your voice to the hearing of the person with whom you are conversing. Never speak with your mouth full. Tell your jokes, and laugh afterwards. Dispense with superfluous words--such as, "Well, I should think," etc. [TABACCO BROUGHT TO ENGLAND FROM VIRGINIA A.D. 1588.]
