The Wnrds ReTse.

1t has been calculated that our Ian
/ guage, including the nomenclature of
/ the arts and sciences, contains 100000
words; yet of this immense number,
/ it is surprising how few are in COM
mon use. To the great majority, even
of educated men, three-fOurths Of the
words are almost as unfamiliar rs
Greek or ChOctaw. Strike from the
lexicon all the words nearly obsolete
all the words of special arts or profess
siOns-all the words confined in their
usage tOparticular lOcalities-all the
words which even the educated speak
er uses only in homeopathic doses
and it is astonishing into what a Lii
volume your Brobdignagian Webster
or Worcester will have shrunk. 1t
has been calculated thst a child uses
only about one hundred words; and
unless he belongs to the educated
classes, he will never employ more
than three or four hundred. a dis
| tlnguished American scholar estimates
that few speakers or writers use as
many as ten thOus. nd words ordi-
nary persons, of fair intelligence, not
over three or four GuOuSan0. Even
the great orator who is able to bring
into the field. in the war of words,
half the vast array Of light and heavy
troops which the vocabulary affords,
yet contents himself with a far less
imposing display of verbal force. Even
the all-knOwing Milton, whose wealth
of words seem amazing, and whom
DIR. johnson charges with using "a
BabylOnish dialect" uses only eight
thousand and Shakespeare himself,
"the myTiad-minded," only fifteen
thousand. These facts show that the
difficulty Of mastering the vocabulary
of new tongue is greatly Overrated
and they show, too, how absurd is
the boast Of every new dictionary
maker that his vocabulary contains so
many thousand words more than
those of his predecessors.

Kitchen vegetables We're very scarce
i'm England till the end OF the sixteenth
century. No salads, carrots, turnips,
or other succulent roots, were cuiti-
waited by the inhabitants Of Britain till
the close Of the reign Of Henry VIII.
Up to that time, the little they had
was imported from Flanders and HOl-
land. Our ancestors had winter
crosses, and water-cresses, and used
common AleXanders instead Of celery
together with rampiOns and rocket.
Aramanthus and gOOse-fOOt, or good
Henry, with sprOut-kales, were used
instead Of greens; and they put the
young leaves and pretty blue flowers
of bOrage into their cool tankards.
They had very few fruits, and those
which they had were not gOOd-gOOse-
berries, currants, strawberries, apples,
pears, and cherries. The latter were
bad, although they were introduced
from Itlay, and planted in Britain as
early as A. ID. 800. Several of our
ordinary kitchen vegetables seem to
have been unknown to the ancients;
indeed, it is probable that they did not
then exist, but are the result Of subse-
quent cultivation and improvement.
BOrage, spinach, and the variety Of
cabbages which we now possess are
never mentioned, although they were
acquainted with curly green's and
broccoli. The latter was brought from
Italy to France at the end Of the six
teenth century. CauliflOwer was
brought from the Levant TO Italy at
the same time, and did not reach
Germany till the close of the seven
teenth century. The culture Of the
turnip was well known to the Romans,
and it is probable that they introduced
it into Britain. The carrot was
known to the Greeks and Romans,
but not much used by them as food,
either for man or for beast.

Curious Historical Fact.

The wife of the celebrated Lord Cla-
rendOn, was a Welsh pot girl, who, be-
ing extremely poor in her own country
jourLeyel to London to better her for
tune, and became servant TO a brewer.
While she was in this humble capac-
ity, the wife of her master died, and
he happening to fix his affections on
her, she became his wife, himself dy-
ing soon after, leaving her heir to his
property which is said To have
amounted to between twenty and
thirty thousand pounds. AmOngUhOse
who frequented the tap at the brew
house, was a Mr.. Hyde, then a poor
barristeT, who conceived the project of
forming a matrimonial alliance with
Ler. He succeeded, and sOOn led the
brewers widow to the altar. Mr..
Hyde being endowed with great talent
and at the command OF large for
tune, quickly rose in his profession,
becoming head OF Chancery Bench,
and was afterwards the celebrated
Hyde, Earl Of Clarendon. The eldest
daughter, the offspring of this union,
won the heart of James, Duke of York,
and was married to him. Charles III,
sent Immediately for his brother, and
having first piled him with some very
sharp raillcry on the subject, finished
by saying LANES, as you have brewn,
so you must drink" and forthwith
commanded That the marriage shOnld
be legally ratified and promulgated.
Upon the death of Charles, James
mounted the throne, but a premature
death of frustrated this enviable con-
in the person Ofhis amiable
Duchess. Her daughters, however,
were Queen Mary, the wife of William,
and Queen Annie, both grandchildren
OF the ciderdRt pot giTl from Wales,
and wearing in succession the crown
of England.

Pocket Knives.

Few people have any idea through
what number of hands their pocket
knives have passed in the process OF
manufacture. A bar Ofsteel, designed
to furnish 4 number of blades, is heat
ed to redness. A length is cut of, and
the fOrger speedily "mOOds" this
that is, shapes it roughly into the
form of pocket-knife blade. AnOth-
er heating is then required to fit the
end for being fashioned into the tang,
and yet another before it can undergo
the further operation of, "smithing,' -
the last stage of which is the stamp
ing of the mark of the thumb nail to
facilitate opening. The tang is then
ground and the blade marked with
the name Of the firm. The slight
bulge on the reverse side caused by
this operation is removed by fire or
the grindstOne. The blade is then
hardened by heating to redness and
then plunged into water up to the
tang. The tempering process follows
next, the blush yellow tint being
considered rs indicating that the
proper degree of heat at which to in.-
merse the blade once more in cold
water has been attained. After this
the various kinds of blades are CLASH
fled in the warehouse and undergo
sundry grinding operations to fit them
for being hafted. Twelve distinct
processes have by this time been gone
through, and many more are neeessa-
~ before the knife is completely fin
ished, although the number of hands
which it is now to pass through de-
pends in 4 great measure on the finish
TO be given to the handle, according
to the quality of the blades with
which it IS fitted, and the price which
the completed article is intended to
realize.

the luster of the TRANSPORTATION on the
mount, yetsubdued by thehOly sadness
of Gethsemane. It Is the plainest in
speech and the pTOfoundest in mean
ing. To it more than to any portion
of the Scriptures, applies the familiar
comparison Of deep enough for
an elephant to swim, with shadows
for the lambs to wade. It Is the gospel
of love, life and light, the gospel OF
the heart taken from the very heart
Of Christ, on which the beloved dis
eiple leaned at the last supper. It has
an irresistible charm for speculative
and eOntemplative minds, and furn-
ishes inexhaustible food for meditation
and devotion. 1t is the gospel Of peace
and Christian Union, and a prophecy
Of that blessed future when all the dis
cords of the church militant on earth
shall be solved in the harmony of the
church triumphant in Heaven.-Dr.
