Change in the Meaning OF Words.

The following quotations are taken
from recent work entitled, al Select
Glossary Of English Words used formerly
IN senses different from their present." in
which are traced the changes of meaning
which many current words ,hase under
gone:
C2imote-At present the temperature
of region, but once the region itself
C0rpSe-Now only used for the body
abandoned by the spirit Of life, but once
for the body of the living man equally as
of the dead. -. ..-... -...--.sr
Dcsire-"To desire" is only to look
f6r,card with longing now; the word has
lost the sense of regret or looking back
upon the lost but still loved. %, haeiiei2
Nag--One Of the many words which,
formerly, applied to both sexes, are now
restrained only to one. ..al. ..sss:51rr
Nountebank--Now, an an!ic fool; but
once couined to the quack doctors who,
at fairs and such places of resort, having
mounted on baak7or bench, from thence
proclamed the virtue of their drugs. 90
Ostler-Not formerly, as now, the ser.
want Of the inn, having the care of the
horses but the inn-keeper or "host-ler''
himself.
! ta ,Shreir-There are now no "shrews |"
save female ones; but word, like many
others now restrained to one sex, formerly
applied to both. -s------------
Sonnst-A sonnet" now must consist
Of exactly fourteen lines, neither more ror
less; and these with fixed arrangement,
though admitting, certain relaxation. of
The rhymes; but :" sonnet" used often to
be applied to any short poem, especially
of an amatory kind. ,g4.a4t-4t
| .Store-This word has much narrowed
its meaning. Bath, hot,house, any room
where air or water was artifcially heated,
was o 'stoye" once. .......... .....-
Tobacconist-Now the seller, once the
smoker OF tobacco.
Uacouth Now Uniformed in manner,
ungraccful in behavior; but once simply
unknown. .. b. ...-. --r .,- VII.

as in pain from stroke or touch; but

The Number of John Rogers Children
Settled. -te sr-

The old perplexing query, "How many
children had John Rogers!" has at last
been definitely anu historically settled
At the late celebration in Norwich, Chan.
celor Walworth spoke to the sentiment
relative to the first settlers of the town az
follows: -.r.. f.t ,.r.. H. r
Chancellor Walworth said it was sixty.
six years since he left the town of Bozrah.
He named the original settlers or Nor

Rogers the martyr. The Chancellor set
tied the long pending dispute about the
number of Johns children ("nine small
children and one at the breast" the prim-
er says--were there nine or tenO by ex.
huming from some old history letter or
address from John to the Government, in
whieh was a passage to this effect: 81

SONS OF MALTA.

"Jeems" was recently initiated into
the order of the Sons Of Malta, and
graphically describes his introduction into
the "Vale of Mystery" as follows:
You are first grabbed and thrown into
tub of cold water, and forthwith several
large men begin to stick pins into you.
Hauling you out of the tub Of water, they
rush you into another department, and
new men make lunge after you in dis
guise, and Immediately commence pouring
molasses into your hair and boots. Mean
while stream Of cold water is flooded
onto you, and man dressed in black
thrusts snuff box in front of your nose,
and all at once you begin to sneeze vo-
ciferously, and the eager crowd begins to
laugh and hurrah. Showing you further
along. the chief men and bottle washers
grab you by the nose, hair and coat tail,
and in this way rip every bit of day
goods loose from yodr person, and again
the crowd roar with tumultuous laughter
at the nude state, with Eve or six men
holding on to Your hair and toes and
forcing you up soaped pole with pins
and sharp sticks. You now begin tc
think you are forsaken by all of God'
people, and the devil has certainly go

SLAVERY IN New MExIco.-The New York
Herald, in alluding to the fact that some of
the Southern papers are exultng over the
recent act of the Legislature of New Mexico
establishing slavery in said Territory says;
That Territory can never be made a slave
State; it is too far off, it is too poor for slave
labor, and affords too wide range for run
away niggers; but for purposes of sectional
agitation, two or three dozen niggers in New
Mexico will answer as well as they did in
Kansas. Prudent and patriotic men, North
and South. will favor the policy of letting
this new humbug die a natural death. No.
thing but mischief can be made out of its
agitation, one way or the other
