HOW TO TALK.

Dear reader did it ever occur to you,
(boys and girls, that you might just as
we'll learn to talk correctly as incorrectly :?
1t is 10 more labor to use genteel language
than to use awkward, uncouth and boorish
phrases. OF course, children should be
taught from their very cradles, by parents
who should know how to speak correctly
Wherever that is the case, children grow
up without need Of cultivation or amend
ment in their manner Of speaking, for " as
the twig is bent, the trees inclined" But
unfortunately but few persons know how
to talk, and they teach their children all
manner of awkward sayings before they
go to school, and which must surely be un-
learned before the young man OF woman
can enter into genteel society Unfortun-
ately, even school teachers, in most places,
pay no attention whatever to the manner
i'll which their pupils converse. Nay, the@
even talk carelcssly and more ruthlessly,
murder the Kings English" themselves,
for the reason that, Notwithstanding they
do not know how to talk or read If nei,
ther parents or teachers can aid the young
people, they must take the matter in their
own hands, and resolve to correct their
awkward manner of speaking. They can
Go it if they determine upon it, They near
ly all know better than they do, in this as
most other things They know that hun
dreds of words which they use are not COR
rect, and would laugh at public lecturer
who would use such language Learn to
talk like book" That is good way,
and the habit once formed will remain with
you Every nation and every localities in
nations, even down to counties and town
ships, have their idioms and localisms.
We have one set of cant phrases in
Pennsylvania, and another in New York, a
different one in Virginia, and still others in
Tennessee and 50 on through all the States.
The eastern Yankee will guess" while in
Pennsylvania we reckon" In some of the
Western and Southern States, they "calcu-
late" All these phrases are really vulgar,
and all used i'll the the place of Suppose"
or presume" either of which is good Eng
lish, wherever the English language is spo-
ken, while the others are not. A word of
Pennsylvania origin, unknown to the States
North and East of it, is "ornary" 1t has
no place in the English language, but those
who use it, mean low, mean, vulgar a
want in," or II want out" and similar ex-
pressious are peculiar to this particular
part of Pennsylvania. 1t is short and
very awkward way of saying, 81 want to
come in," or "to go out" &c. Correct
speakers never use such terms.
81 havn't sa,C him." is another Pennsylva-
mia idiom which is quite as awkward 81
seen him." yet it is quite common, even in
Philadelphia, and the cultivated counties
around it, and in this part of the State it is
ridiculously common. Such errors need
only to be pointed out. TO be seen by all who
know anything of the English language.

BATTLES OF THE sWORDFIsH AND THE
WHALE,

Among the extraordinary spectacles
sometimes witnessed by those who go
down to the sea in Ships" none are more
impressive than a combat for a supremacy
between the monsters Of the deep. The
battles Of the swordfish and the whale are
described as Homeric in grandeur. The
swordfsh go in shoals like whales, and the
attacks are often regular sea-fghts When
the two troops meet as soon as the sword
fish have betrayed their presence by few
bounds in the air, the whales draw togeth-
er and close their ranks The swordfsh
always emdeavors to take the whale IN
flank, either because it's cruel instinct has
revealed to it the defect i'll the cuirass-
for there exists near the brachial fins of the
whale spot where wounds are mOrtal-or
because the flank presents wider surface
to its blows. The swordfish recoils to Sc
cure a greater impetus If the movement
escapes the keen eye Of his adversary, the
whale is lost, receives the blow Of the ell
emy, and dies almost instantly. But if the
whale perceives the swordfish at the in
stant of the rush, by a spontaneous bound
it springs clear of the water its entire
length, and falls on its flank with crash
that resounds many leagues, and whitens
the sea with boiling foam. The gigantic
animal has only its tail for defence. 1t
tries to strike its enemy, and finish him
with single blow. But if the active
swordfish avoids the fatal tail, the battle
becomes more terrible. The aggressor
springs from the water in it's turn, falls
upon the whale and attempts, not to pierce,
but to saw it with the teeth that garnish
its weapon. The sea is stained with blood;
the fury Of the whale is boundless. The
swordfsh harnesses him, strikes on every
side, kills him, and flies to other victories
Often the swordfish has not time to avoid
the fall of the whale, and contents itself
with presenting its sharp saw to the flank
of the gigantic animal which is about to
crush it. 1t dies then like Maccab8us,
smothered beneath the weight Of the ele-
phant Of the ocean Finally, the whale
gives few last bounds into the air, drag
ging its assassin in its flight, and perishes
as it kills the monster of which it was the
victim. The heroic combats of the sword
fish with the whales would assuredly furn-
lsh matter for strange poem III which the
grand would contend with the eccentric.
The sea of blood, loaded with monsters
bodies devoid of life, and slain upon each
other, would be a picture worthy of inspr-
ing a rival of the singer of the Batracho-
If the divine Homer did not
hesitate to celebrated the wars of mice and
frogs, why should not one of the sons of
Apollo accord the recital of the exploits of
the swordtish, and the formidable resis-
tance OF the giant of the waters

How DARE You AN amusing little
episode recently occurred in a railroad car
Shortly after the train had left the depot,
an old lady jumped up and addressed gen.
tleman seated behind her, with How dare
you2 What are you at ?" The astonished
gentleman replied that he had done nothing.
The lady again seated herself, but in few
moments arose full Of rage and terror, and
declared her neighbor was a william" and
on arriving at the next station was about
to have him arrested, when, luckily, the
cause Of her agitation was discovered--in
the shape Of a goose, which, placed in a
basket under the seat occupied by the lady,
had during the voyage, amused itself by
pocking at her understandings" The
discovery of the criminal created great
I"nght"r among the passengers.

GoOD-RY OLD ARM!'
/ I{0spital Incident.
BY GEORGE COOPER.


III. Lnite was still, the surgeon bore
Tho shattered arm away;

The noble hero lay

Where limb of his had lain,
hen family spoke, ''Oh, let me see
vy strong right arm again"
.f.,i.bv. old arm" the soldier said,
A, he casped the fingers cold;
lri down his pale but manly cheeks
The tear-drops gently rolled

Now gives me cause to sigh
gr, its hard to part such trnsty friends
liood-by old arm! good-by!
You've served me well these many years,
In sunlight and in shade
sr,. comrade, We have done with war;
Let dreams Of glory fade.
You'll neyermore my sabre swing,
In battle fierce and hot
golI never bear another flag,
or fIr another shot.
I do not mourn to lose you now,
For home and native land
l.. proud am to give my mite,
For freedom pure and grand!
Thank God no selfish thought is mine
Willie here bleeding lie :
Bear bear It tenderly away,
Good-by. old arm. good-by!"

THE RIGHT VIEw-There are number
of people in this, as we'll as every other
community, to whom we commend the fol-
lowing remarks of the New York Tifbuae:
Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk of what they pay newspapers
for advertising, etc, as 50 much given to
charity Newspapers, by enhancing the
value Of property i'll their neighborhood,
and giving the localities in which they are
published a reputation abroad, benefit all
such, particularly if they are merchants or
real estate owners, thrice the amount year
ly the meagre sum they pay for their sup
port. Besides, every public-Spirited citi-
zen feels a laudable pride in having a pa
per of which he is not ashamed, even
though he-should pick it up in New York
or Washington.
\ good-looking, thriving sheet, helps to
sell property, gives character to the locali-
ty, and IN all respects is desirable public
convenience. If, from any cause, the mat
ter in the local or editorial columns should
not be quite up to your standard, do not
cast it aside and pronounce it of no ac-
count until you are satisfied that there has
been no more labor bestowed upon it than
is paid for. If you want good, readable
sheet, it must be supported. And it must
not be supported in spirit of charity Ell
ther, but because you feel necessity to
support it. So the local press is the ''pow-
er" that moves the people.

MR.. BEEOHER ON WORK.

Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent speech,
delivered the following just and spirited
sentiment
" If the people Of the South do not work,
they cannot eat do not think it is well
for man to have many at work for him
If it is ever brought to pass that the young
mothers of this day shall be as those of the
days gone by, who did not consider it in
consistent with cultured lady's position
to work her full share in the household.
working mornings till after the MONDAY
meal, then changing her garments and re-
sorting to social enjoyment and recreation,
it will be more creditable to us. Instead,
therefore, of sympathing with those at the
South who complain that their slaves have
left them and they are obliged to do their
own work, am very glad Of it. l am
very glad of anything that teaches persons
that they are able to work, and compels
them to work if they are not inclined to do
it. like to see man carry his own bum
dies | like to see a man trundle his own
wheelbarow like to see a woman tend
her garden | like to see the economy Of
the house carried on by mother and daugh-
ter, as well as by father and son and it is
better state Of society in which there is
some work for every mans leisure, and
some leisure for every mans werk am
rejoiced to see that after all the suffering
that has been undergone, there is coming
to be "a healthier state of things--a better
condition in society. The first thing that
Southern society wants is work, and re-
spect for work. If you want to make a
man respect work, make him work. And
-bn,, ho ba ~ IL 1
that never tastes so sweet as when he
wipes the sweat from his brow, conscious
that he is dependent upon nobody, he re-
spects work and workmen Now, it is up
on this wonderful power of work for the
black man and for the white man in the
South that build my hopes for the future.
