GOOD ENGLiSH.
BL AMELIA DALEY,

When little children begiu to talk, they
cannot perfectly express their thoughts,
because they have very few words At
their command. A foreigner fuds il
difficult to express his thoughts iu IN q.
gl'sh because he knows very few English
words. As his knowledge Of English
increases, his power to express his
thoughts increases, so that, 10 time, he is
able to speak and write the language with
duenoy.
The young writer needs to gain .
knowledge Of the English language. He
can do this by noticing the words that
are used by other writer's. II, when he
resds be will notice every word the
meaning Of which be does not know, and
if be will learn its meaning, either BY the
other words 10 the sentence, or by look
ing in a dictionary, he will rapidly
increase tho number of words at bis
command.
Not oil of the words which we hear,
nor oil Of those which we read, are good
Z english. English words are those which
are used BY the best speakers aud writer's
Of the English language. These words
We have right to use, and no others.
Many writer's make use of foreign
words. when English words would ex.
press their meaning just as we'll. Some.
times foreign word has no corresponding
English word. In such case wo NAV
use foreign word. For example: The
French word pro'ege is used by the best
writer's aud speakers because there is no
English word that has exactly the same
meaning. Before we use aforeigu word,
We should be sure that We cannot express
our idea just as we'll by an Euglish word.
We must avoid the use of obsolete
words. Obsolete-ueans, worn out of use.
Obsolete words are those which were once
used by the best speakers and writer's,
but which are not so used now. Four
hundred years ago the language was so
different from what it is 1t the present
time, that We should find it very difficult
to understand anything that was written
hen. The language Of q nation is con.
stantly changing. Words tina: have been
in good use are becoming obsolete. and
new words are taking their place. We
should not make use of obsolete words,
because other people will not know their
meaning. We use language in order to
make our thoughts known to others, aud

BUILDING,
BY AMELIA Z. DALEY.

Sour to days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build "
so sings tho poet. suppose, dear
Bright Si.le children, that some of you
have seen men laying blocks Of stone in
the walls Of soue large building. You
have seen how carefully they work, it..
ting the heavy blocks exactly into their
places, and .cementing them firmly, 50
that nothing can move them. You have
perhaps, seen men thus ut work day af.
ter day. tie strong walls rising, one stone
at time, until they were completed.
You may have been told that, unless tho
workmen were very careful, unless they
lifted each stone into its own place, uu
less all Of the stones we're bound to
gether By strong mortar, the walls would
be insecure; the building would not
stand. Some one may have told you that
it is necessary for all the stones to be Of
the same kind, and without flaw. If, 10
q wall OF granite, some blocks Of sand.
stone should find a place, they would
impair the strength Of the wall. Even
one worthless block might render the
building unfit for habitation.
Every one of US is building character.
Our habits are to our character what the
blocks Of stone are to the wall. Day BY
day our character becomes develop
just a., day BY day, the wall rises. What
We make ourselves now, We shall remain
through life. If ws would build ssroug
and noble character, ws must form habits
Of steadfastness, of charity. We must
SEE that our "to-days" have no flaws Of
falsehood in them, no Jaws Of envy, none
Of revenge. We must ask for power to
see clearly what stones We are using in
our building, aud for strength to use
only those that will endure through eter.
