Number OF Words.

The number Of good English words found
in use BY good writer's could hardly fall short
Of 100 900. But we knew these mainly as
we knew Greek, as book words, and not as
the language Of speech. Even ifa man
was able, on extraordinary occasions to bring
into use in wordy battle half Of that number,
he generally contented himself with. far
fewer. Each individual used in his daily

Catching a Lawyer.

An advocate of provincial town in Fance
was recently waited on by sausage dealer
who said: ..... ...r =

"Certainly." ey.a -ay"
"In that case, please to pay me twelve
francs. for your dog has just eaten sadsages

The advocate paid the money. An hour
after, the advocates clerk called on the sau
sage dealer, and claimed twelve francs fift!
centimes for "a consultation fee about sau

modification, had to hand over the sum clai@

western simplicity.

In 4 wild neiehborhood, where the sound
Of church.goiug bell had never been heard,
notice was given that the Rev. Dir. A.. .
distinguished Presbyterian divine, would
preach ON a certain day.
The natives, who consisted mainly Of
those hardy pioneers who have preceded
civilization, came in crowds to hear him.
They had an iudstinct idea that pyeoehin'
was something to be heard, and oil intended
to hear 1t. ...... ....-
After service had begun, raw.boned
hunter. with rife in hand and all the &C.
coutrements OF the chase about him, entered
and took the only vacant seat--a nail-keg
without either head. The current Of the
preachers thought led him into description
of heaven aud its inhabitants. With grea,
power he had drawn picture Of the habitat
ton of the blessed, and was assigning each
of the patriarchs, prophets. and apostles hb
appropriate place. His Calviuistic tendencies
led him TO reserve the Apostle Paul for hi'
climacteric. With bis eye fixed upon th'
highest point and with an upward gesture
that seemed to be directed to the loftiest al
titude of the heavenly places, he said,
"And where, my brethren, shall we sea
the great Apostle Of the Gentiles !-where
, l suy, shall we place the Apostle Paul y
Then pausing, to give the imaginatio
time to reach the elevation designed for tn
Apostle. he fixed his eyes on our hero OF tn

rose instantly, and replied
"If he can't do any better he can take m

1t is needless 10 say that that climax wa

the people having no clear conception Of

no word for bride In their language, and ar.

Marsh thought that the reproach conveyed
by the word had wholesome influence. In

wrong, unless it was definite enough Ia our
minds to have a name. 1t was better to have
an opprobious name for the thing, than to
glaze it over as the French did BY an apollo

innate words of morality and religion were
Saxon. The words Gtonemeni. God, good.

Marsh devoted the conclusion Of his lecture

A Wife's Influence.

Judge O'Neal, in the New York Enquirer,
tells the following Of Judge William Smith
Of South Carolina: ~ Ia
IA He had the rare blessing to win the love
ofone OF the Purest, mildest, and best women,
whose character has ever been present to
The writer. He married Margaret Duff. In
his worst days she never upbraided him by
word, look or gesture, but always met him
as II he wac one of the kindest aud best OF
husbands. This course on her part humbled
him snd made him weep like a child. This
sentence,it is hoped, will be remembered,
was the language Of Judge Smith to the
friend slready named, and to those who knew
the stern, unbending public character of the
Judge, it will teach . lesson Of how much
q patient woman's love can accomplish
He was at last reformed by an instance Of
her patient love and devotion, as he himself
told il: MtI.i. sAaT
