From a series of articles in the Evening
Post, on the "Curiosity of Language" we
make the following extract on the let
ter H:
There is something profoundly lamenta-
BILE in the conversation of a Cockney. An
exchange paper gives the following as the
direction Of an English father to his son:
'' AIRY, 'Op hup and go down to Mr.. 'Ar
ris's and hask i'm if e 'as a bit hof hash
or hoax to make q 'ammer 'andle." We
can remember something about as good,
and quite as true. An English actor was
playing Pierre, in f'William Tell" Pierre
has the following speech: "Horrible
most horrible To save his own and AL
bert's life, Tell has consented to shoot an
apple off his own sons head" The actor
knocked about the his thus: " 'Orrible
most 'orrible! To save lis hown hand
HaIbert's life, Tell 'as consented to shoot
han happle hOff lis hOwn sons 'ead."
Here is the letter HIS compliments of
London:
Whereas have by you been driven
From House, from Home, from Hope, from Heaven,
And placed by your most learned society
In exile, anguish and anxiety,
And used, without some just preteRse,
With Arrogance and InsOlence,
here demand just restitution,
Aud beg you'll mend your eloqution.
REPLY.
Whereas we've rescued you, migrate,
From HaudcuH, HerrUr and frOm Hate,
From Huntsmen, Horsepond and from Halter,
Aud concentrated yoU in alter,
And placed you where you ne'er should be-,
10 Honor aud in Honesty,
We deemed your prayer a rude intrusion,
And viii not mend our elocution.
The COckney's method of spelling sa-
loon is well known. Said he: "There's
hess, and a hay, and hell, and two hoes
and a hen" A gentleman travelling
through Yorkshire outside of a stage
coach, asked the driver the name Ofa very
pretty village they were passing through.
The reply was, ''Hoogreen." Being asked
to spell it, he replied: 1--WE spell it with a
hatch and two hoes, gee, and har and
two hees and hen"
''Is there anything for George Hogden?"
inquired a young man, the other day, at
the New York post Office. "Nothing, sir. ="
Three days did George ask for letter.
The last day, happening to watch the
clerk, he suddenly cried: "LoOk 'ere!
say 4Ou ~ 4OOhlAAE tA44lOilE LuS udlICuCSy
and my name begins with hoeV'
Here is an enigma, the hanswer to
which must be hevident to hall heyes;
HENGLIsH HENIGMA.
Hi dwell hin the Hearth, and Hi Breatbes hin the
Hair:
Hifyou searches the Hocean, you'll find Hi ham

The FIRST Of hall Hanges hin Holimpus ham Hi,
Yet Hi ham banished from Eaven, expelled from hon
Ugh;
But though on this HorB Ii ham destined to grovel

Not han 'Oss nor han 'Unter e'er bears me, halss
But oft ham Hi found on the top of a Hass

Yet hihwaribly habsent ham III from 'Ome,
Though ushed hin the 'Urricane of the Hatmosphere

Iii dies hin month, but comes back hin Hour.
