Hints TO WRITERS and Speakers.

VIM. Cullen Bryant gave the following excel
lent advice to a young man who offered hun an
article for the Ereaing Post
My Young friend, / observe that you have
used several French expressions IN your article.
/ think. II YOU VIII study the English language,
that you Will find It capable Of expressing all the
ideas that YOU may have. 1 have always found

call an instance, when L was tempted 70 use a
foreign word, but that on searching, | found a
better one IN my own language"
BE simple, unaffected be honest in your speak
ing and writing. Never use a long word where
q short one viii do. Cali q spade, q spade. nOta
well known oblong instrument Of manual indus

Where Il short word will 90, you always lose by
using a long one. You lose in cIearness, you
lose in honest expression Of your meaning and
in the estimation Of all men who are competent
to Judge, and you lose your reputation for ability.
The only true way u shine IN this false world,
Is 10 be modest and unassuming. FalsehOod may
be u very thick crust, bat III the course Of time

gance OF language may not be in the power Of
all Of US, bat simplicity and straighttOrwardness
are.
Write much as you would speak speak as
YOU think. If with your inferior, speak no
cOarser than usual If with your superior, speak
no finer. BE what you say, and within the rules
OF prudence say what you are. No one ever was
q guiner by singuiaTity of word, or IL prOnuncia-

Instantly the little boys hand is grasped, his

together. Before we parted, Count d'Orsay said
in a whisper, Should you like to know the name
