NEW KIND or OMNIBUS.
Goethe,s ConNerratIon.

In the evening the "society" rendezvoused in
sombre old house, with marrow windows in
front, and a small. somewhat gloomy looking
garden behind, where lived large old white
haired man with his niece. Though a man of
grand presence and imposing mieu, with
much dignity in his address, he was very fond of
mixing with the young people of the company,
and especially with number Of young English
men who at that period resided at Weimar for
the advantages Of military education. At the time
l tell Of there was amongst them one who is now
q Duke, with one of the greatest historic names
in Europe. With these generally this old gentle
man frequently conversed, or, more frequently
still, discoursed, telling of his travels in Italy
the objects which had held the chief place in his
memory, the galleries he had seen, the society he
had frequented, the distinguished men whose
acquaintance he had made; and all these with
occasional touches Of picturesque description,
traits of humoT, and now and then deep feeling
which held bis little auditory in rapt as onish-
ment that he could hold them there enlranced
while they could not, when he had done, recall
any Of the magic by which he worked his spell.
! l say this because / myself remember to have
| tried 10 repeat story he told, and once, more
| hazardous still, TO convey some impression OF
| how he talked and with what lamentdblo failure
! let my present confusion atone for. The tasl
would have tried a better man, for he whom
| esssyCd TO represent was Goethe.-BtGckIo0od.

CANTEEE.--The word "canteen" has had q
curious history. 1t is perhaps the only word in
our language which, originally English, passed
into foreign tongue, aud was afterwards brought
back in a modified form. AS originally spoken
by the Saxon, it was simply tin can; the Gdul,
as is his wont placed the noun before the adjective
and pronouncin6 the letter as e, bought it out as
can tin, pronounced canteen. Adopting thou
sand Utler French military terms the dull Eng
lisbman took back his own original word In
ject, aud hence we now say Canteen, instead OF
lin can.
