REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF HERoIsN.-The
Rev. Mr.. Scudder, of India, in letter to the
Christian Lntelligcncer, gives the following in
stance of heroism called forth by the Indian
mutines:
Let Americans never be ashamed that Eng
ishmen are their forefathers. England is no
bic country. Her sons are heroes and her
daughters are herones. This rebellion has
brought out deeds that deserve to be associated
with those valorcus actions which we, with
throbbng pulses, read in history. In one place,
lady and her husband fed 10 their carriage.
He stood upright. She took the reins. She
lashod the horses through band of mutineers
while he with cool aim, shot dead one who
seized the horses heads. and another who climb
ed upon the carriage behind to cut him down
On they fed, till again they found themselves
among foes and rope stretched across the
road made further progress seem impossible
True to herself she dashed the horses at full
speed against the rope, and as they, bearing II
down, stumbled, she, by rein and whip, raised
them while her husbands weapons again freed
them from those who succeeded in leaping upon
them He was wounded but both escaped with
their lives In another place young lady the
daughter Of an officer, shot seven mutineers
before they killed her. A captain, pressed by
the Sepeys, with bis good sword slew 26 OF them
before he fell

The English Dictionary.

Few English readers can have failed to be
struck while turning over the pages of this die
tionary, 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 lit
erature of the day. The Dublin University Mag
anne, in the following paragraph undertakes to
indicate approximately the proportion Of words
found in the dictionary, which rarely, If ever,
enter into either the spoken or written language
Of the present day:
Dictionary English is something. very differ
ent not only from common colloquial English,
but even from that of ordinary written compo-
sition Instead of about 40, 900 words, there is
probably no single author in the language from
whose works, however voluminous, SO many az
1000 words could be collected. OF the 49,
600 words there are many more than one-half
that are only employed, if they are ever EN-
ployed 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, 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 homegrown words is undoubtedly
very much higher in both the 5000 and the TO-
900 than it is in the 4O, ,O00 Perhaps of the 30,-
900 words, or thereabouts, standing in the die
tionaries, that are very rarely or never used,
even in writing, between 20, 900 and rs, 900 may
be of French and Latin EXTRACTION FIVE as
sume 22, 900 to be so, that will leave 5000 Teu-
tonic words in common use; and in our literary
English, taken at 10, 900 words, those that are
non-Roman will thus amount to about half or
that half 1000 words may be current in sur
spoken language. which will therefore be
genuine English for four-ifths of its entire ex-
! tent. 1t will consist of about 1000 Gothic and
! 900 Roman words.

feet in width and full of different kinds of rock bro
