A Literary curiosity.

Iris rarely that we have seen literary
curiosity equal to the following, Il will
be seen that it is written wholly in mono
syllables and thus by example. as well as
precept, makes an nexcellent argument in
favor of the use of "short words" Our
readers will agree with US that it is real
ly beautiful, although the author has not
made solitary demand upon those poly
syllable words, which are generally con-
sidered essential to 6ne style:
Thoughts on and in short Words.
The speech of our sires far hack inthe
days of yore,l like that Of the First Man.
who may we'll be thought to have been
taught Of God, was nude up for the most
part of those short words which are spoke
with one pulse Of tile breath, and one
stroke of the tongue. The stream of
time through long tract of years. and
from lands not our own, has brought
down to us a vast drift Of new and strange
terms, with which we may think our
speech has come to be rich, but it is clear
that much of,its strength has in this way
been lost Thus are we shown to be
base sons. who, both from our limbs aud
our tongues have lost the Drawn of our
sires. They iniruth we're poorin purse.
but rich in speech, Their. words, like
gems. were as great, in wealth. as they
were small in bulk; while the mass of
ours, are as poor as they are large and
long. We must add to this, not only the
loss of Emce, but the waste of breath and
,itiie when we wouldIspeak our thoughts;
and that uftypes and ink when we print
thefi. Huge tonnes would shrink to one
third their bulk, and time and pains would
be spent less lin vain both to those who
write aud print, and toIthose who read, if
there were due, care 10 clip the length
and size of the words, and 10 use no more
THAN the thought can claim. In our age
the price of time is as great as thatof
booxs is small; and the first charge we
should give to those who would have us
read what they write is: .+ .e.e,rO5 x
4 AIN all ways and by all means be brief;
| for life is short, and art is hng."
i Nor let us think that the good old stock
\ of words. 80 short and sttong, is lost.
They are not lost: they lie blent with
the trash of the heap; and in bright points
4 shine out here and there from the map.
like the stars when afog dims the air, or
the face of the sky isidark with clouds.
4 1t will he well worth our,whleto mine
| out these gems, and string them on the
chains of our thoughts, which will then
shine with new life; and though the
tongue may lose in sound, it will be the
more fl to speak al that the deep soul
u can feel. The heat feels but throbaby
u throb; and !, IS thus that the tongue should
beat while it gives vent to its joys and it'
pains.
