The English Dictionary.

Few English readers can have failed TO
be struck, while turning over the pages Of
this dictionary, with the large proportion
Of words in it which are strange to him.
and which, if not wholly undomesticated or
become obsolete, are rarely met with in the
whole course Of the literature Of the day.
The Dublin Uairersity Magazine, in the
following paragraph, undertakes to indicate
approximately the proportion Of words
found in the dictionary, which rarely. II
ever, enter into either the spoken or writ
ten language of the present day:
Dictionary English is something very
different not only from common colloqulal
English, but even from that of ordinary
written composition. Instead OF about 4O,-
900 words, there is probably no single
author in the language from whose works,
however Voluminous, so many as lO,OOO
words could be collected. OF the 10000
words there are many more than one-half
that are only employed, II they are ever
employed at all, on the rarest occaslons.E
We should, any of US, be surprised to Ind,
if VIC counted them, with how small a num-
Der Of words we manage to express all that
we have to say, either with our lips or even
with the pen Our common literary Eng
lish probably hardly extends to 10000
words, our common spoken English hardly
to 5000. And the proportion Of native
or homegrown words is undoubtedly very
much higher in both the 5000 and the 49,
900 than it is in the 10000. Perhaps OF
the 80, 900 words, or thereabouts, standing
in the dictionaries, that are very rarely or
never used, even in writing, between 20,-
900 and $4,000 may be Of French and
Latin extraction. If we assume $4,000 10
be so, that will leave 5000 Tsutonic words
in common use; and in our literary English,
taken at 10000 words, those that are non
Roman will thus amount to about hail.
or that half 1000 words may be current
in our spoken language, which will there
fore be genuine English for four-6fths Of its
entire extent. 1t will consist Of about a.
900 Gothic and !, 900 Roman words.

POE e q T.
The Sister Of Charity.

Sister of Charity, whose pious care
smoOths with soft touch the wrnkled couch 0
woe;
Whose sacrifice, more sweet than sounding prayer
Ascends grateful tribute from below,
Rich incense OF the heart whose fragrant breath
Is redolent Of heavens unlading wreath.
Thy eeaseess Office is the work Of love
T. assuage the anguish of the sons of pain
With holiest ferver kindled from above
To sympathise with grief-with soothing strain
To whisper to the troubled bosom rest
Child Of benevolence, thy deed how blest
How enviabe is thy blameless lot!
How gentle is thy calm, unrufied way!
Lies vexing cares unknown, at least forgot
No lowering clouds deform thy cheerful day;
Whose eye, as was its morn, sorenely bright,
Is but the dawning Of eternal light.
Wise virgin, thou, whose lamp is duly. trimm'd
And kindled by ray Of love divine,
Tho hymen's torch, by youths and madens hym'd
Blaze not for thee, heavenly spouse is thine;
For thee the bridegroom hath prepared feast
Ambrosial in the mansions Of the blest.

SuIc1DE.-Mr. A. F. Branda committed
suicide recently, in San Francisco, by tax
ing strychnine. The deceased had for some
years been the confidential clerk Of Macon
dray & Co. For some time he had been in
the habit of gambling, and lost considera'
BE sums Of money He had recently TAX
en- 81 900 from the funds Of his employers,
and being unable to refund it, committed
the fatal deed. On his deficiency being dis
covered, no reproaches were uttered by his
employers, nor was anything said or done
which could have driven him to commit the
act. 1t is even said, that so much conf.
dence did the firm place in him, they would
no! have discharged him, believing that the
deficit could be made up at any time. In'
deed, he had credit among his associates
and acquantances for a much greater
amount than 81 900. The verdict Of the
Coroner's jury was to the effect that Bran
da was native of Norfolk, Va, aged
thirty-two years, and came 10 his death by
an overdose of strychnine, administered
Voluntarily by his own hand.-Nspado
Democrat.
