Some Change in Words.

Words are fossil history, or, i'll bet
ter phrase, catch and preserve events as
amber does flies. The etymology of
words is itself key to their meaning
and often their origin and history as
well; and in the changes of meaning
that words undergo from generation
to generation are sometimes hidden
hints of shifting customs. Many words
show changes which are among the
most curious and suggestive of all yer.
bal studies. Thus. coRoeits once had
conceited nothing in them, but a con-
ceited man was only one who had opin-
ions Of his own, not necessarily what
we call "opinionated;' candidate was or
iginally a man who sought the "1most
sweet Voices of the people for public
office, and was clad in white robe---
while candidate now is a man who
employs professional manipulatoB to
pull the wires of primary meetings for
him, who buys his nomination in eau
Gus and pays. the highest market price
for the votes Of his constituents, and
looks after his own interests
when elected. ImperfiRent originally
meant paeciselyr what Irrelevant
means now, and has gradually taken on
its present Specification; rilla;s means
only a servant, and "the little villain"
would once have conveyed no opprobri-
urn; an idiot was Tnerely.maa in privsts
life, in contradistinotioa from those who
held public Offices, but now The tables
are exactly turned, and all the idiots
appear to be Office holders. Impadeace
formerly had nothing braxen about it,
but was simply opposed to what We cali
bashfnlness; paeiile was "boyish, /" with:
ont any implied reproaOh,, seeptic was
once only an Inquirer" or thinker"
As an example of the Significance Of
words upon other grounds, We may cite
the verb to trench, which probably took
it's meaning from the disposition of an
avaricious man, whose boundary lines
were marked by trenches, to make the
whole Of the French,prop. bis neighbours
land. The tariF derived its peculiar
name from the town Tarifa. Spanish
or Portuguese town, where the first or
one Of, the FIRST examples of the thing
itself occurred, and was carried to very
protective extent indeed. Nasty Is
NO nastier word than "refned" is, but
custom is gradually setting it aside as
reprobated; nor is senteeI an "ungen-
teelr word, but custom is making it so
without any definite reason. Congress
and "eopgregate have a common origin,
and possibly the word, in It's meaning
of coming together Illustrates the
way that plumber seekers +" con-
sregate,n like birds of prey, about the
