The best abused things within our
knowledge are the English consonants,
They are clipped, smothered, and crop
ped, and utterly ignored, as things OF
little or no value in speaking the Eng
lish language. And yet, in point of
fact, they constitute the more perma-
nent and important parts OF the Lam
guage. Without them the Language
would be utterly unintelligible, either
spoken or written. Most of the yowels
might be dropped from the written Ian
guage, and yet the meaning be quite
ineligible of most words and sem
fences, Just as it was with the He
brew, without vowel points, as it was
apciently written. Let any one try
the experiment.: take a sentence and
write out the Vowels OF every word, and
then attempt to read il. AfIer that let
him write out the consonants of the
same sentence witOut q single vowel,
and he will find it quite impossible to
make out the sense of the passage.
The consonants are to the spoken Eng
lish what corner posts, and stills, and
studs are to wooden building. They
give form and distinctness and beauty
of outline to the building. But many
of our public speakers treat the conso-
nants as nuisances, which they are JUS
tihed in abatiDg by every convenient
means. Final consonants-the very
corner posts of words-are particularly
ill.treaIed; many speakers give no ut
terance whatever TO these important
letters, especially II two OF them end q
word. In private conversation this is
bad; but in public speaking it is in
tolerable. The dropping OF the final
Consonant-sound renders words and
entire sentences utterly unintelligible
to hearers.
Most speakers fancy that they are to
be heard by their loud speaking. And
so, if any one complains that he can
not understand what a speaker says,
he must go TO shouting in order to be
heard. But he makes great mistake.
Let him speak in a moderate voice,
enunciating his syllables, and giving
as perfect utterance as possible to his
consonants, and he will be heard with
entire distinctness by those who will
get little but sound when the speaker
halloos to him. A deaf old gentleman
OF our acquaintance sometimes COM
planned to his minister that he could
not hear what strange preachers said.
'They speak a great deal louder than 1
dow YES, they speak too loud. 1
can hear nothing but noise," was the
reply. The fact was-and it is true of
most loud speakers-they depended on
their vowal sounds for making their
hearers understand what they mad to
say; and these, with cousonant sounds
and mere noise. Let those who have
occasion to speak in public-and WHO'S
there is these days who has not some
times occasions of this kind-let them
try the experiment OF giving the con-
sonants their due, and our word for ii,
they will find their account in it; a
moderate volume of voice will suffice
for their work, and the evident comfort
and satisfaction of their hearers will
reward them richly for their underta-
king.-BoSton Traveller.

TIE POETRY OF SLANG.-Weare often
shown instances of one word running
through different languages In q slight
ly modified form, as for instance from
the good old town of Client, the French
get ''gants," and we get "gauntlets;"
TocQues, in Normandy, the Germans
get their "tuch," a cloth, and we our
"duck. :" or "ticking," and our tuck
err" So, in the humber domain of
slang, a London thief speaks of a fly as
a policeman" a curiously vivid image
of the annoyance continually buZzing
round his ears. The French rascal
uses the reverse of the medal and calls
sergent de vile "moucha," from
whence comes the regular word
HIolLchdTd, a spy. These same London
rOughs rather degrade the moon when
they call her the parish lantern" but
how they refine and excuse their intox-
icated friend when they say 'he has
got the sun in his eyes," or she can't
see hole in the ladderI" Sometimes
these slang phrases contain the most
curious felicities of expression, akin TO
the graphic touches of our best poets
and humorists. For instance, what sly
satire in the faYorite slang for large
feet, "beetle-crushersn But why
should the very unsuggestive words
"muff" and "spoon" be selected from
the whole dictionary as emblematical
of dizziness? YoiEd HotTe HlGdTi0dt, and
dainty one it is. A simpleton is
called a "spoon" and a "muff" because
spoon touches q lady's lips without
kissing them, and a muf holds her
hand without pressing it! Could our
daintiest OF song writers, our courtliest
OF gallants, have done better? Even
Herrick and Sucking would have
looked with approval on such DELI
cions little bit of gallantry.-Rou'ld
Table.
