BE5" There is no more striking instance
of the silent and imperceptible changes
brought about by what is called slime"
than that of language becoming dead
To point out the precise period at which
Greek Latin ceased to be living Ian
guage would be as impossible as to say
when man becomes old. Andmuch con-
fusion of thought and many important
practical results arise from not attending
to this. For example, many persons have
never reflected ON the circumstance that
one of the earliest translations of the Scrip
lures intoa verAacular tongue was made by
the Church of Rome. The Latin Fulgqte
was so called from its being in the vulgar
i. e., the popular language then spoken in
Italy and the neighboring countries; and
that version was evidently made on pur-
pose that the Scriptures might be intelligi-
bly, read by, or too, the mass of the peo-
pie. But gradually and imperceptibly
Latin was superseded by the languages de-
rived from italian Spanish and French
while the Scriptures were still left in
Latin; and when twas proposed to trans
late them into modern tongues, this was
regarded as perilous innovation, though
it is plain that the realinnovation was that
which had taken place imperceptibly since
the very object proposed by the vulgate
version was that the Scriptures might not
be left in an unknown tongue. Yet you
will meet with many among the fercest
declaimers against the Church of Rome
who earnestly deprecate any of the slight
est changes in our authorized version, and
cannot endure even the gradual substitu-
ton of other words forsuch as have become
quite obsolete, for fearof unsettling mems
minds. 1t never occurs to them that it
was this very dread that kept the Scrip
lures in the Latin tongue when that grad
ually BECAME dead Language.-Archbih-
OPP Wheatey.

FATTENING TURKEYs-The ailmen-
tary properties of charcoal are very
great; indeed, it has been asserted
that domestic fowls may be fattened
upon it without any other food, and
that too, in shorter time than on the
most nutritious grains. In an expert
mcnt, made to test the value of the
article, four turkeys were taken and
fastened in a pen, and fed on meal,
boiled potatoes and oats. Four others
of the same brood were also confined
at the same time, in another pen, and
fed daily upon the same articles, but
with one pint of finely pulverized
charcoal mixed with their meal and
charcoal, in their pens. The eight
were killed on the same day, and
there was a difference of one and a
half pounds each in favor of the fowls
which had been supplied with. the
charcoal, they being much the fatter
and the meat greatly superior in point
of tenderness and flavor. This would
appear to establish, beyond doubt,
the benefit of charcoal for fattening
purposes.

CAPTAIN PRIEST ON THE VEGETABLE

description of esculents, hence originally
called wedgetables, then vegetables, and
now refined into the present term
Annual towering plants resemble whales,
as they came up to blow.
Flowers are very warlike in their dispo-
sition, and are ever armed with pistils.
Like dandies, the coating of many trees
is their most valuable portion Cork trees
and boot trees, for instance.
Grain and seeds are not considered dan.
gerous except when about to shoot
Several trees, like watch dogs, are val
ued mostly for their bark.
A little bark will make rope, but it
takes large pile of wood to make acord
Though there are no vegetable beaux,
there are number of spruce trees.
1t is co olsidered only right and proper
to axe trees before you fell them.
Fruit trees have military characteris-
ties; when young they are trained, they
have many kernels and their shoots are
straight
Grain must be treated like infants; when
the head bends it must be Graded and
threshing is resorted to fit it for use.
Tares are mostly found with the small
er grains-which require sowing.
Great indulgence in fruit is dangerous
and too free use of melons produces

endure any reference to dates.
Sailors are attached to bays; oystermen
to beeches, love sick maidens to pine
