There is not such a constant round of amusements as to fill up a mans time without any. plan or occupation of his own; and yet there is enough to satisfy any mind not perfectly vacant, and dependent on external objects. We dine abroad two or three times a week. We sometimes fee a little play, but never any deep gaming. At the Countess Thunes, where I generally pass the evening, there is no play of any kind. The society there literally form a conversazioni. I jare say, you will be at a loss to imagine how a mixed company, sometimes pretty numerous, can pass several hours every evening, merely in conversing, especially when you are told that the conversation is not always split into parties and tete-a-tetes; but is very often general. You will suspect there must be many melancholy pauses, which, after a certain length, are prolonged, from the reluctance of people to be the first breakers of a very solemn silence; or you may think that sometimes there will be so many tongues moving at once, that nothing can be heard distinctly; and you may possibly figure to yourself the lady of the house at other times endeavouring, by formal observations on the weather, or politics, to keep alive a conversation which is just expiring in all the yawnings of death. Nothing of this kind, however, happens. The Countess has the art of entertaining a company, and of making them entertain one another, more than any person I ever knew. With a great deal of wit, and a perfect knowledge of the world, she possesses the most disinterested heart She is the first to discover the good qualities of her friends, and the last who fees their foibles. One of her greatest pleasures is to remove prejudices. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
