SLANG PHRAsEs.-The prevalence of
what are usually called slang phrases
abound to an almost incredible extent.
There may be the shadow of cause as.
signed for some prevailing faults; thus a
man may become misery from having
felt the distress attending ON extreme
poverty in youth; man may be infidel
IN his principles from some defect IN early
training, ne may be extrayagant from q
TOO generous disposition, but no possible
reason can be assigned why ordinary
speech should be embellished with SO
many inelegant expressions.
The language person. uses is a surer
index to his mind than anything else can
be; and no person can be truly refined in
feeling or manners, who, even in CONVEX.
sation with his most intimate acauaint.
ances, or in his own family, uses any
provincial expression. 1t is bad habit,
originating with the low-bred, and -four.
ishing only in congenial soil. Let all
who find they have acquired this habit,
use their utmost endeayOrs to conquer it,
till they are rewarded with success. Use.
less weeds grow faster than flowers.

A MURDER REvEALED.-The murder
Of young German girl at New York
will be remembered, which was perpe-
tratec on the Battery some two years
since, at late hour of the night, but no
clue to the affair was obtained. The
Mayor offered a reward of $500 for the
murderer's apprehension, but it had no
effect, and every idea of arresting the
assassin was abandoned. On Wednesday
evening the notorious convict known as
''Frenchy," who was arrested with the
two murderers, Saul and Hewlett, died
in the Sing Sing State Prison. A few
moments before the poor wretch breathed
his last, he confessed to a keeper that
the murder was committed by Saul,
Hewlett, Johnson, (now in State Prison, J
and himself, for the paltry sum of $35,
which they stole from the corpse, and
then pitched it over the railing near
Castle Garden. Hence the mystery is
explained and confirms the opinion of
the New York authorities, who believed
the crime was accomplished by that muir
derous gang of villains.
