NEW ENGLISH DIcTIoNARY.-The plan of the Phil
illogical Society of London, which has already been
alluded to in our columns, for preparing new and
complete dictionary of the English language has
gained the favor and active cooperation of many of
the most eminent British philoogists. and arrange
ments are now announced for securing the aid of
students of English literature in the United States
1t Is the intention of the Committee employed in ed
llng this great work to include in their vocabulary
every word occurring in the literature of the Ian
guage, and to illustrate the meaning and use of
each word by appropriate citations. For this pur-
pose, large number of books must be read and
extracts made of passages containing the words in
question. As the productions of early English lit
erature are more easily accessible in England than
IN the United States, it is recommended to Ameri-
can contributors to select later period and accor-
dinghy the entire body of English literature belong
ing to the eighteenth century has been reserved for
their perusa. The Hon. George p Marsh, of Bur-
lington, VT, gentleman whose wide range of scbol-
arship, and valuable literary connections, eminent
ly qualify him for the office, has accepted the ap-
pointment OF Secretary for the United States and
has issued circular requesting the cooperation of
American scholars, with ample directions as to the
method in which their services are to be made
available for the purpose ofthe work. He requests
those who are disposed to engage in the enterprise
to communicate to him their names and he will
cheerully furnish them with anv additional infor-
nation in regard to the plan and its details 1t is
to be earnestly hoped that the enterprise thus han
PLY commenced, will find cordial response from
American scholars. Should the project be success
fully carried out, it will enrich English philoopy
with work which will cast all its predecessors far
into the shade.-N Y. Tribune.

DIPPING CHARLES IAMR

"Colerdge," says De Quincy, "told me ludic-
embarrassment which Lambs stammering
caused him at Hastings. Lamb had been medically
advised to course OF sea bathing; accordingly, at
the door Of his bathing machine, while he stood
shivcring with the cold, two stout fellows laid hold
of him, at each shoulder like heraldic support-
ers; they waited for the word of command from
their principal, who began the following Grafton to
them.
Hear me men? Take notice of this, am to be
Dipped
What more he would have said is unknown to
land or sea bathing machines; for having reached
the word dipPed, he commenced such rolling fire
di-di.di di, that when at length he descended,
Ptomb upon the fell word dipped, the two men ra-
ther tired of the suspense became satisfied that
they had reached what lawyers call the "opera-
tive clause ofthe SENTENCE and both exclaimed at
once
"Oh yes sir, we are quite aware of that" down
they plunged him into the sea.
On emerging Lamb sobbed so much from the
cold, that he found no voice suitable to his ndgna
ton. From necessity he seemed tranquil:
and again addressing the men. who stood respect
fully listening, he began thus:
F'NIen, is it possible to obtain your attention."
go surely sir, by all mcans-''
'Then listen; once more tell YOU am to be di-di-
di'-and then with burst of Indignation, ''dippcd
tell YOU"
go decidedly sir And down the stammerer
went a second time
Petrifed with cold and wrath. once more Lamb
made feeble attempt at explanation,
Grant me patience is it mum-um-murder Won
meme mean? Again and a-ga-gain | | tell YOU I'm
to be dipped,-now speaking seriously with the
voice of an injured man.
80 yes, SIR the man replied, ave know that
we fully understand it," and, for the third time
down went Lamb into the sea.
ooh, limbs of Satan!' he said on coming up
the third time, ''lt is now too late. I am-no but
ros, to be di-di-di-dipped only once.''

The Maid I Love.

The maid love has violet eyes,
Ah,h rosc-lcaf lips OF red,
She wears the moonslinc round her neck
The sunshine round her head;
And she is rich in every grace,
And poor in every guile.
And crowned kings might envy me
The splcndor of her smile.
Sho walks the earth with such grace
The lilies turn to took,
And waves rise up 10 catch II glance
And stir the quiet brook;
Nor ever will they rest again,
Bit chatter ns they flow.
And babblc of her crimson lips
And of her breast of snow
And cen the leaves upon the trees
Arc whispering tales of her.
And tattlc till they grow so warm
That, in the general stir,
They twist them from the mother branch,
And through the mir they fly,
Till, fainting with the love they feel,
They tluttcr down and die.
And what is stranger still thanal
The wonders OF her grace,
Her minds the only thing to match
The ElorcS of her face;
U! she is natures paragon
All innocent of art.
And she has promised me her hand,
And given me her heart.
And when the spring again shall flush
Our glorious southern l0wcfs,
My love will wear n bridunvcil-
wreath Of orange flowers;
And so, care not if the sun
Should founder i'll the scn,
For. o. the star-bcam of her love.
Is light enough for me
