For The National Era.
ON THE SIDE WALK.

BY GAIL HAMILTON.
None bat lhou and shall know
Whose the doom and Whose the woe
None but thou and shall share
In the secret printed here
II shall be secret sill,
Though all look on il at will.
And The eye shall read in vain,
" hal The hearI cannot explain"
On the sidewalk, night and morning,
Ceaseless tread of eager feet
Pleasure, passion, pain, and madness,
stalking up and down the street.
How the golden stars were burning,
ThroDbing, glowing, in the sky;
How Tue earth lay calm and holy,
Underneath the summer sky,
As wc walked among the walkers
slowly, sadly-yOu and |.
Bul The stars serene and shining,
And the moonlight, always cold,
And The countless crowds, pursuing
Wisdom. glory, wine, or gold
Drew no meaning, read no token,
F-ltno mighty, mystic power, y
From the words we lightly uttered,
In thai uuforgo,len hour
Lightly spoken, lightly spoken
Woe IS me, the heavy heart,
Woe j., me, the dreary phantom
That may never more depart.
O The sudden, silent anguish,
Drinking up the springs OF life
O The terrible concealing
Outward sign OF inward strife.
Bootless. ruthless, vain ouireaching
For the light too early gone.
Shadowy memories OF the past,
Oa'y, lefi TO live upon.
NOu will go your way IN life,
shall calmly walk in mine.
Ofihat hour of strange cOmmuning
All my years shall give no sign.
Wine | wander in the darkness,
BE The way or short or long,
All the guards of my hearts portals
Shall be sunshine, smiles, and song.
Fear you not, have a balsam
For the burning in my brain;
This is Joy beyond all sorrow
We are one-by common pain.
Dad YOU feel my heart was breaking
Dad ] read your soul Alright,
Did We know it was forever,
Bat we only said Good night!r
Life is short, and Love eternal.
This the golden garland be
For the bitter, trimming chalice
Poured alike 10 you and me
Bravely grid Thy robes about thee,
Bravciy take thy staff in band,
Braveiy travel, onward, upward,
TO The undiscovered land.
Hrave no sigh in vain regretiing
sFor the days that might have been;
This should be thy souls ensnaring,
He mus, run who wills TO win.
When the sun OF life spheres westward
And the iengthening shadows fall,
Looking back on all our pathway,
We will bless the Lord for all

stopping. Breakfast being placed upon the
table, the Doctor was inquired for. az be-

Observation-Disclosures English is some
thing very different rot only from common
collcquiel English, but even from that of ordi
nary written composition Instead of about
10000 words, there is probably no single author
in the language from whose works, however
voluminous, so many as 10000 words could be
collected. OF the 40, 900 words, there are GER
tainly many more than onehalf that are only
employed, If they are ever employed at all, on
tie rarest occasions. We should any of us be
surprised to find, if we counted them, with how
small number of words we manage to express
all that we have 30 say, either with our lips or
even with the pen. Our common literary
English probably hardly extends to 10000
words, our common spoken English hardly to
5000. And the proportion of native or home
grown words is undoubtedly very much higher
in both the 5000 and the 10000 than it is in
the 10000. Perhaps of the 10000 words, or
whereabouts, standing 10 the dictionaries, that
are very rarely or never used, even in writing,
between 10000 and $4,000 may be of French
or Latin extraction. If we assume % 500 to
be so that will leave 5000 Teutonic words in
common use; and in our literary English,
taken at 10000 words, those that are non
Roman will thus amount to about one.half.
Of that halt, 1000 words may be current in our
spoken language, which will therefore be gen.
uine English for four ffths of its entire extent.
1t will consist of 1000 Gothic and 1000 Roman
words.-DubIin University Magazine.

EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF SPEcIE.-At the time
the injunction was served on the Sanford Bank,
Maine, says the Bangor Wing, they had safely
slowed away in their vaults, in specie, the eDoT-
nous sum of four dollars and SerenteeR cents
BY the help of the cashier, the bank commits
sioners were able to count it accurately in lees

that the property in the possession of the re-
