LfTERARY NOTES.


A Fsstry or VestiGry is properly ward robe
or clotbes-press. What church that abhOTs
sacerdotal vestments can hare to DO with a res
tiGriun, passes our knowledge. Won't the good
people who persist in 'ho use Of this tarblrism,
look out the word in the dictionery-say the re-
vised ~ebster-lnd learn whst vestry is. Il
occurs to us, however, that the word may not
be 60 inappropriate as it seems, since some are
charged with going to " meeting to see the
new garments Of their neighbors, and show their
own.
i contributor to the american Educational
Monthly hss written two articles TO prove that
and should never be used after period Tbs;
this lit,le word msy be used 10 excess,
and is often worse than needless, We
admit but We intend sill to employ it oeoa-
sionally at the beginning OF a sentence, and 90
these reasons: ~ we know Of no language in

see no good reason why We should not.
We have heard the rail-car nersboy cry

should anticipate their date By fifteen days We
DO not see, unless they are expected in this way
each to g, the start Of the rest. Bat If all ap-
pear on the fifteenth Of the preceding month,
where is ,le gain Why not agree to cone ont
on the first Of the month As 1t now Is. the
magazine IS read and thrown aside before t4a
date comes round on which il processes TO be j.
sued. The same thing holds with regard to the
weekly neespape.s. Some O, them appear
ieriaigb. in advance nearly ar are dated ore
or two days ahead eli their actual publication.
Why not tell the truth Subscribers wil not
object To knowing Just to what point their sum
