Style.

There is no model style. W hat
is pleasing in the dicion Of one au-
thor disgusts us in copyist. Every
writer is his own standard. The law by
which we judge of his sentences must be
deduced from his sentences. 1.-THE style
indicate the character, it is relatively
good If il contradict the character, tho
its cadences are faulless, it is still bad
and not to be endured. We may quar-
rel with writer, if we please, for pos
sessing tasteless nature, but not with
the style which takes from that nature
its form and movement,
The tread of Johnson's style is heavy
and sonorous, resembling that of an ele-
plant or mail clad warrior He is fond
ofleveling an obstacle by a polysyllabic
battering ram. Burke's words are con-
tinually practcing the broad sword ex-
ercises, and sweeping down adversaries
with every stroke. Addison draws up
his infantry in orderly array, and march
es through sentence after sentence with.
out having his rank disordered or his
line broken. Lnlher's words are hall
battle His shifting idiomaic phrases
seem to cleavc into the very secret Of
the matter. Gibbons lcgion8 arc beav-
lily armed and march with precision and
dignity to the music of their own tramp.
They are splendidly equipped but q
nice eye can discern little rust beneath
their fine apparel. Macauley, brisk, keen
lively and energetic, runs his thoughts
rapidly through bis sentence, aud aicks
out OF the way every word that obstructs
his passage. He reins in his steed only
when he has reached his goal, and then
does il with such celebrity that he is near
ly thrown by the suddenness of his stor-
page. jeffrey is fine lance, with a sort
OF Arabs swiiness in his movements.
and runs an iron-clad horseman through
the eye before lie las had time 10 close
his helmet. Tafourd's forces are order.
ly and disciplined, and march to the mu-
sic of the Dorian flute. Those of Keats
keep time to the tones of the pipe of
Pb@bus. Willis words are often tipsy
with the champagne of the fancy but
even when they reel and stagger they
keep the line of grace and beauty
Webster's words are thunderbolis. which
sometimes miss the Titan at whom they
are hurled, bu; always leave enduring
marks W ere they strike.
Words are not, when used by a mas
ter, the mere dress of thought. They
are, as Wordsworth has happily said
the incarnation of thought. They bear
the same relation to ideas that the BODY
bears to the soul. A thought embodied
and embrained in fit words, walks the
earth a living being.-E. p. WniPpIR

SEWING WOMAN IN LoNDoN.-The
young female slaves of whom we speak,
are worked by gangs in ill-ventiated
rooms, or rooms that are not ventilated
at all, for it is found by experience that
if The air be admitted it brings with it
"blacks" of another kind, which damage
the work upon which the seamstresses
are employed. Their occupation is to
sew from morning TO night, and night
to morning stitch, stitch, stitch, with
out speech without smile-wthout a
sigh. In the gray morning they must
be at work-say at six o'clock, having
quarter of an hour allowed for breaking
their fast. The food served out to them
is scanty and miserable enough, but still
in all probability, more than their fever
ed systems con digest. From six o.
clock, then till eleven it is stitch, stitch.
at eleven a small piece of bread is served
t. each seamstress, but still she must
stitch on. AT one O'Clock twenty min
utes are allowed for dinner slice of
meat and potato with glass of toast
and water to each workwoman. Then
again TO work--stitcb, stitch, until five
o'clock when fifteen minutes are again
allowed for tea. Their needles are
again sci in motion once more-stitch,
stitcb-until nine O'Clock, when fifteen
minutes are allowed for supper-a piece
OF dry bread and cheese and a glass of
beer. From nine O'Clock at night until
one, two and three o'clock in the morn.
ing, stitch, stitch the only break in this
long period being a minute or two-iust
time enough to swallow a cup of strong
tea, which is supplied lest the young peo-
pie should "ieel sleepy" At 3 o'clock
a. M, to bed at six o'clock a. M, out
Of it, again to resume the duties of the
day. There must be a good deal of
monotony in the occupation. But when
we have said that for certain months of
the year these unfortunate young per-
sons are worked in the manner we de-
scribe, we have not said all. Even du-
ring the hours allotted TO sleep-should
we not say feverish cessation from
toll ?-their miseries continue. They
are cooped up in sleeping pens, ten in a |
room, which would perhaps be sufficient
for the accommodation of two persons.
The alienation is from atreadmill { and
what a treadmill y to the black hole of
Calcutta Not word of remonstrance
is allowed or is possible. The seam
stress may have the mill, no doubt. but
what awaits her on the other side of the |
door? Starvation, if honest; il not. in
all probability, prostitution and its con-
sequences.-London Times.

The Irish Picket.

I'm shtanding In the mud, Biddy,
With not a spalpeen near,
And silance, spaichless as the grave,
Is all the sound hear.
My gun is at showlder arms,
I'm wetted to the bone,
And whin I'm afther shpakin' out,
find meself alone.
This southern climates quare, Biddy,
A quare and bastely thing,
Wild winter absint all the year,
And summer in the spring,
Ye mind the hot place down below
And may ye niver fear
I'd dhraw comparisons-but thin
It's awful warrum here.
The only moon see, Biddy,
Is ono shmall star ashore,
And that's forninst the very cloud
1t was behind before;
The watchflres CLEAN along the hill
That's swellin' to the south,
And when the sintry passes them
/ see his oogly mouth.
Its dead for shape ! am, Blddy,
And dramein shawte I'd be.
If them ould rebels over there
Would only lave me free
But when lane against shtump
And sthriye to get repose,
A musket ball hes comm straight
To hit me spacious nose.
It's ye I'd like to see, Biddy,
A shparkin' here wild me,
And then, avonrneen, hear ye say,
acknowledgements !"
"och, Biddy darlint," then says l,
Says you, get out Of That"
Says ], "me arrum mates your waist"
Says you, +" be daycent, Pat"
And how's the pigs and ducks, Biddy
It's them | think Of shnre,
That look so innocent and shwato
Upon the parlor aure
I'm shure ye're aisy with the pig
That's fat as he can be,
And fade him wild the best, because
I'm towled he looks like me.
Whin come home again, Biddy,
A sargint tried and thrue,
It's .joost daycent house I'll build
And rint it ehape to you,
Wen have parlor, bedroom, hall,
A duck pond nately done,
With kitchen, pig pen, praty-patch,
And garret-all in one.
But, murther there's haste, Biddy,
That's crapin' round tree,
And well know the creatures there
To have shot at me.
Now, Misther Rebel, say yere prayers.
And how'd yer duthy paw,
Here goes !--be jabers, Biddy dear,
I've broke his oogly jaw

Mohammed and his Work.

Driven on by the secret impulses o.
the age; overcome with the grandeur o.
the mission to which he was appointed
installing the passions with which he
was inAamed for the inspiration he craved
reckless, daring, subtle,-he preserved
in the midst of bis decisions, in all the
confusion of his teeming fancies, in all
the disorder of his wild ambition, that
steadiness of purpose, that marvellous
wisdom, that just conception of the tend
ency of the age and of the wants of his
nation, and that absorbing Identification
of his mind with its mind, of his will
with its will,-that profound understand
ing of the influences which controlled it,
of the passions which deiormed and the
virtues which ennobled it,-which would
have made him one of the greatest OF
sovereigns, if be had not succeeded in be-
coming one of the greatest of reformers.
AS he grew to manhood and came for
ward into life, six centuries had elapsed
since the birth of Christ and during
that period Christianity had failed to es-
cape many of the corruptions of the
paganism il assailed. Its simple doc
trines were perverted, its spirit almost
destroyed, by the dreary -efnements or
the baser superstitions to which it was
subjected or exposed. In Arabia it had
made but insignificant progress, already
encountered as it was with theological
machinery too obscure for the easy com
prehension or the satisfactory solacc of
those fiery sons of the desert, who, in the
midst of their idolatries, had never who'll
ly lost sight of the Jewish conception OF
One God. Christianity had to plant it
self in the hearts of the nation it sub
dued. Mohammedanism was already
existing. 1t was but reused by Moham-
med to a newer life,-quickened by al
fresher impulse. The fire once kindled,
spread rapidly and far. The heart Of
the East throbbed fast. Fired by the
visions of the future which opened upon
their fevered eyes, the armies OF the
prophet swept over Western Europe,
till struck down in their drunken career
by Charles Martel, they reeled away
forever. 1t is thus, in the previous his
tory of Arabia, in the religious condition
of its people, that the chief explanation
of Mohammeds success is to be found.
Other men may have been as great, but
the sphere was wanting for the exhibit
ton of their power. Revolutions which
are to have a significance in the history
of the world, which mark phases of pro-
gress and constitute epochs of change,
never fail to develop remarkable charac-
ters,---to perplex US again with The
mystery of genius. But without this
world wide meaning, revolution is but
whirlwind or a disease, and dies away
from the memory Of man as swiftly as
it came. Thus in all this long history
of the East, among these ancient races,
through these countless ages, there is but
one name to attract, one career TO in
struct us,-the life of Mohammed and
the doctrines of Islam.- Christian Er-
miner.
