THE TRIUMPH or THE ENGLIsH LANGUAGE

IhTee centuries ago, the EngISh tongue was re-
garded, generally by learned men in Europe, as
dialect, which could not hopefully aspire to great
prominence in the empire of letters. Even in Eng
land, it was ordinarily treated with contempt. A
few persons wrote it in a style which, in some res
poets, has never been surpassed. We find, howev-
er, that the NOrman-French, which had been in
troduced by William the Conqueror, and which
was welded to the bold and dashing line of mon
archs that succeeded succeeded him, was most es-
teemed in aristOcratic circles The Norman
tongue took complete possession Of the law pro-
ceedings. The most learned books usually
written in Latin; and even the Greek was under
stood by the great body of men that made any pre-
tentions to a knowledge of literature. We find the
splendid Tudor Queens, Mary and Elizabeth, using
the classic tongues on the most familiar occasions
The latter replied orally to the addresses of the
Universities of Britain in the Greek language.
The savage Norman Kings labored in vain, how
ever, to extirpate the Saxon tongue, hallowed by
the glorious memories of Alfred the Great and
not less sacred account of the disastrous battle
of Hastings. Itwas ordained that the Norman Ian
guage should be used in all law proceedings and
records; but the combined influences of fashion,
aristocracy, royalty, and positive enactment were
unavailing, and after an experiment OF three hun
dred years, the severe law was repealed. The Nor
mans converted the richest lands OF Britain into
huntng-grounds; they drove the Saxons from their
courts; they in fact reduced them to the condition
Of miserable serls; but the bloody Richards and
lienries shed the public blood without accom-
plshing their designs; the masses treasured and
used the dialect which formed for after ages the
basis of

A writer in the Worcester Spy says that, ac-
cording to the census of the United Kingdom, taken
in 1851 next to agriculture, strangely enough, the
fishing interest stands the largest employee of
women. In the pilchard fishery there are some
| thousands. The Jersey oyster fishery alone EMPLOYS
one thousand. Then follows the herring, cod, ,
whale and lobster fisheries. From this class came
Grace Darling. There 200,0 900 female servants
and 100000 business women. One item in the
latter list 10000 butcher-wives, women who
do not merely preside the business, but buy
stock, put down meat, and drive cart, if neces-
sary.
