OUR LANGUAGE.

Dictionary English is something
very different not only from common
colloquial English, but even from that
of ordinary written composition. In
stead of about forty thousand words,
there is probably no single author in
the language from whose works, how
ever voluminous, so many as ten thou
sand words could he collected. OF the
forty thousand words there are GER
tainly many more than one half that
are only employed, if they are ever
employed at all. on the 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 to say eth
er with our lips. or even with the pen
Our common literary English probably
hardly extends to ten thousand words
our common spoken English hardly tc
five thousand. And the proportion ol
native or homegrown words is un-
doubtedly very much higher in both
the five thousand and the ten thousand
than it is in the forty thousand. Per
haps, of the thirty thousand words. oil
thcreabouts, standing in the Dictiona-
ries, that are very rarely or never used,
even in writing, between twenty thou
sand and twenty-five thousand may be
of French or Latin extraction. If we
assume twenty-five thousand five hun
dred to be so, that will leave five thou
sand Teutonic words in comom use
and in our literary English, taken al
ten thousand words, those that arc
non-R Roman will thus amount to about
one half. OF that half, four thousand
words may be current in our spoken
language, which will therefore be gen
uine English for four fifths Of its entire
extent. 1t will consist of about foul
thousand Gothic and one Thousand
Roman words.-DaJlin Cnircrsits

TIE ALOE AND THE BREAD

A Missionary on ons Of the Samoa

visit part Of the enemies tribe in one
of their strongholds. The tribe. with
their chief, listened very sttcntivrly 10
the address given by the Missionary
At its close the chief arose 70 reply
Profound silence prevailed: and with
great politcncss the old warrior adj
dressed the Missionary in the following
terms:

have been at SO much trouble TO como

Us to-day. Many thanks TO yon for
your kindness We have listened

that You have said is true. especially
that which you have said respecting
our wickedness. We arc indeed very
bad. we feel il 10 be so; and you have
not said half that might be said re-
specting it."
Pausing a little and looking round
on the valley below, he said.-"You

country. and in your travels. you have

A FAST COUNTRY.

The following appeared in an extra
of the Lawrence Republican. published
the morning after th, Legislature had
passed the act making Mincola the
capital Of the future State:
Towns whose only glory is in n
name" have sprung into existence in
Kansas by scores during the past few
DAYS. As we have witnessed the rap.
id passage OF one incorporation act
after another, until the head became
giddy as with the flight before ones
eyes of an endless lightning express
train of cars, we have doubted the pro-
priety of adhering TO our recently
formed plan of connecting an agricul-
tural department with our paper. fear
ing there would not be sufficient land
left for agricultural purposes to war
rant the undertaking. To the friends
of agricultural pursuits, there is salts
faction in the reflection that this town
incorporation train will find at least a
temporary terminus IN a few days,
when its conductors. our Legislators,
shall have dispersed, to minglc with
those highly revereneel pcrsonages,
their respective constituents.
One of the late arrivals by this train,
and one that has sprung as if by magic
into tlc importance of Territorial
capital. is the young, and, as we arc
informed, beautiful town of Minneola
This newcomer is Of the genius prairie
and has chosen It's location alongside
of its legitimate progcnitor, the goodly
town OF Ccntropolis, where it may b'
seen, 10y the unassisted natural vision
in all its pristine beauty and lowell
ness, during all hours Of daylight
AS yet. no such things as human be
ings, houses or tenements, are founC
there to mar the natural beauty of th'
scene

CULTIV ATE LOVE s. KINDNESS.

How much our world might be i'm
proved by the practical workings of
love and Kindness. If all would act
upon the principle that kindness is the
great lever that opens the portals of
our souls and calls forth the tender
and sympathetic tendencies of our ma
lures to the relief of the suffering and
destitute around us, how many sor-
rowful hearts would be made glad and
cheerless firesides made bright How
would smiles and sunshine enliven the
faces that were once gloomy and sadl
When we behold the unkindness and
seltishness that are manifested by far
too many, may we not reasonably con-
clude that the world has vet to learn
that to Love one another, is the full
filling of the law" We have come
far short of realizing and exhibiting
in its practical bearings that spirit of
kindness and aifectionate regard that
makes those with whom we mingle,
feel that we do really desire their pros
perity and happiness. We act as if
we had not one common Father. Did
we but feel our common parental re-
lation, we all have the same
origin; that we all have common SYM
pathies. wants. and affections; that we
have a common nature, and are all fed
by the same universal Father; that we
are warmed by the same sun, and in
vigorated by the same genial air, and
that we all have one common des-
tiny,-would we not realize that there
is cord that binds us all together in
one loving brotherhood? Did we but
fully recognize these universal truths,
how much more of love and kindness
would be actualizcd in the various
and multiplied relations of social. do
mestic. and business life. When we
think Of the contentious, jealousies,
and hatred that exist in society. we
arc almost forced to the conclusion
that mankind are ashamed OF the prin-

HAVE MERCY on the CHILDREN.

Children's wills govern too much.
If they do not choose to go to bed,
they sit up; if they choose certain arti-
cles of food, they must have them. pa
rents forgetting that instinct is no safe
guide in child, whatever it may be
in an animal. So we see them, in
their delicate organization, keeping
late hours when they should so to bed
with the birds; sleeping often in warm
and lighted rooms when they should
be cold and dark; and eating hot bread,
pudding, and cake, and drinking hot
tea and coffee, to the infinite detrimcnt
Of nerves and stomach. The injury
done can never be repaid; as a machine,
if imperfectly CONSTRUCTED at first, can
never be made to turn faultlessly.
This is the secret. Parents should
know that instinct is no safe guide 10
child, particularly when the child is
surrounded on all sides with poison
Gus delicacies. To ask child at a
modern table what it will have. and
give it what it asks for, merely be-
cause it asks for it. is very common
practice. But it is as foolish as COM
mon. Have mercy on the children

STRAY LEAVES FROM HEARTS
HISTORY.
No. I.

The heart is a curious instrument,
wonderful in texture, and mysteri-
Gus in mcchanism-capaLle of being
moulded into the most beautiful i'm
age, or the extreme Of deformity. Its
chords, like the -Eolian Lyre, give
forth their sweetest strains, when
trilled by gentle hand, and re-echo
the gladstone notes of mirth, or the
mournful cadence of grief. in proper
tion as they are tuned with nature S
harp. But the heart is not simply an
instrument, but piece of music-so
difficult that none bat those whose
souls throb in unison can appreciate
the peculiar beauty and sweetness.
Strains of incomprehensible melody
gush forth when the magic hand
sweeps its chords or fingers in love
and trust upon its strings. The heart
is life's book. Stainless and pure,
each impress is deathless. Each page
bears some new stamp-soine are
bright and joyous, others sad and
dreary; some spotlcss and pure. filled
with holy lines, others disfgured by
awry marks concealing deeds of crime
and misery.
No poets pen may trace the mind
in its wanderings, and picture the
thoughts that ever fit from the vivid
past TO the dreamy future. No phi
losophcr's skill may analyze the mys-
terious combinations of the intellect,
or assign TO laws OF nature the vague
longings of the soul. And though

Against the New Test.

The Richmond Enquirer protests
against making Lecompton a party
test. But the protest comes too late.
The edict has already gone forth
This Southern organ naively says, IF
advocacy of the Lecompton Constitu-
tion is to be made the tombstone of
Democracy now. we would like to be
informed what is to be the Ren party
test" 1t also remarks, with some
truth and a good deal Of canting ab-
surdity:
1.-The Democratic Party has arrived
at critical period in its history The
American people have arrived at a crit
ical period in their history too. A
disorganization Of the Democracy now
must inevitably and speedily lead to
disruption of the Union. The one
would follow the other as surely A.
night succeeds day. And for our part
we would not separate the sequence
from the cause, if we could; for, when
the Democratic Party is disorganized.
Black Republicanism must triumph:
and when that takes place, the only
safety for the South will be in seces-
sion"
We are not sure that the Richmond
organ of the Lecomptonites has ex-
pressed more than the general feeling
of that party at the South. as to the
impolicy of forcing through the swim
die by party pressure, or as to Mr.
BucLanan's fatal mistake in making
this measure a test of Democratic fidel-
ity. Its immediate effect of the party
is easily foretold.-Cn. Gazette
