son for his guidance through life was that
which heads this article. Unfortunately few
Of us take the trouble to express ourselves in
well constructed sentences, and yet it is quite
rs easy to use correct as incorrect words,
when we desire To give form to our emotions.
How often do We hear persons, who cannot
plead ignorance as an excuse for their tlcrc-
lictonS, declare, when they are fatiguvd that
they "arc tired to death. This expression
which is meant to he forcible-is not only
vulgar but impotcnt, inasmuch as it does not
convey what the uttcrcr Intends How often
do ladies' declare with uplilted hands that
they are frightened to DEATH" or if their
shoes are iargr ior their feet, "thpv are n
mile too long, or their hats are " a world too
long.
We might till column with the inclcgant
phras ; ~lilc! are heard in all classes Of soci-
etN. II Is pity that the English tongue
should thus be irostituted. Were it lari-
guagc from which it would be difficult to Gull
words To express our feelings or convey our
ideas, there would be some excuse for what
we niightden1uucc as "unliccnsrd vu,.arity,"
bnt aa 1t l. exceedingly copouS-iull Of beau
tliul words, OF words conveyed from thous
and foundations to the "wrll of English un-
drlilru, - there Is little or no excuse 70 much
ui tiir railt- Tint i1aSScs current in society,".
In the palny days Of Greece. not even the
women who Sold fruit and fish in the streets
at Athens could be induced to express their
THOUGHTS III vu!9nr f0rinS Of speech. Indeed
these wolnrn were said IL be celebrated for
the putty ol their diction; and more than
once were they appointed uInpircs to decide
upon the grammatical accuracy Of SENTENCES
We would not have Speakers of English 50
pcdantic, or so exact, but we would have
them accu,to themselves TO the use of words
that would convey to the car what they really
felt or desired, not indulging in plconasms
that crate as hurslly on the uneducatcd as
the educated car. In our intercourse with
each other, we should study elegance Of cx,

A New York correspondent lets off his bile
with the following rap at Snobbcry:
Walking is considered decidedly vulgar
among The woutd'be aaiStocracy." iiTvpriqs in
this city do not indicate the possession Of
wealth, but rather the reverse; for do not
know Of a single millionaire who indulgos in
them. Peter Cooper, Stephen Whitney and
Wm. i. Astor, drive very plain carriages
when they do not walk; Coopcrs is known
all over town by its old fashioned and clumsy
shape, and slow going horse. Three-fourths
Of the livrrieS in New York are furnished by
stable keepers, who place the "hadge Of sui
fcrancc" on their coachman whenever request
ed by parties hiring their vehicles, and charge
for the same in the bill. Many families hire
Il carriage with livcrieS once or twice, cut u
tremendous das! on Broadway. call upon all
their friends and make the world believe they
own the superb establishment in which they
roll haughtily about town. Some of the liv-
cried drivers own the carriages which they
adorn, and are richer than the vulgar Snob
who sits with his wife aud family, and plays
at false pretenSc inside. Funny, isn't it?"

Dorpat Observatory was the first to remark
thatat the moment Of obstruction four of the
principal pancts-Vcnus, Mercury. Jupiter
and Saturn-will appear in the vicinity of the
cclipScd sun as kind of rhomboidal figure a
phenomenon of such extraordinary rarity that
many centuries will clapse before its repoti.

ON The land, the localities being California and
the shores Of the Red Sea. Between these
extreme points the eclipse will be visible in
North America, from whence the moons

traverse Spain; total darkness including the
following important towns in that country
Oyirlc, ST. Vincent, Santandcr, Bilboa, Wit.

the Mediterranean and enter Africa, passing

most solemn manner, with a1l the honors Civ
en- to a sovereign. On arriving at the mole,
the remains were met BIZ the Governor Of the

CLEANSE YOUR WHEAE-Under this head
ing the Solano Herald says: Farmers should
look to it that their fields of wheat are clear.
ed from barley and mustard OF all the tores
of the field, mustard IS the one against
which above all Others, they should wage
a war of determination. One root of mus
tard allowed to mature this year, will pro-
duce thousand next year. While it is in
blossom it is easily distinguished from the
grain, and few days of patient toll will
save our fields from this pest. Barley, also,
is badly mixed with the wheat in many of
the fields, and at this season of the year, the
barley being more advanced than the wheat,
it is easily seen. and should be carefully ex-
tracted therclrom.

was called up to show how SSO0aO or $40, 900
which he said had been expended in carrying
the English bin through the House had Lcen

those of the Bank of the Metropolis, which
was represented by Mr. stuart its book

contributed through Mr.. Bean, Of Ohio, a
clerk in Aliens office in last Congress, and
Alex X Hay, of Penn, gentleman Of ele

and the correspondent OF the New York
Express and Secretury to the Union and Con

largest sum for distribution, and the money
was appropriated exclusively to carry the
bill through the House, MIR. Wendell did
not deny that $4,000 or $4,000 had been
authorized for n single vote. and admitted
that these payments were made in the eXpec
tation of being remunerated through Gov
