ness. nnd, at the same time, the appro-
priateness of the Frenchman's iilnstra-
ton. He is said to treat classic Latin
with the utmost disrcspcct, declaring
person of this day. even in writing
poetry. Ha thinks that the English is
to be the universal language, (recollect,
he is Frencbman.) because important
words are put first in its sentences. And
then he adds that to rend one of Horace's
odes to an unlettered artisan, placing the
words In she same relative positions that
they occapy in the original, would sug-
gest to him the idea of dwelling house
with the hall door in the third store.

ScANDA1.-The story is told OF a wo-
man who freely used her tongue to the
scandal OF others, and mado confession
to the priest Of what she had done. He
gave her ripe thistle top. and told her
to 60 ont in various directions and scat.
ter the seeds, one by one. Wondering
at the penance, she obeyed, and then re-
turned and told her confessor. To her
amazement, he bado her go back and
gather the scattered seeds; and when
she objected that it would be impossible.
he replied that it would be still more diff.
fcult to gather up and destroy all evil
reports which. she had circulated about
others. Any thoughtless, careless child
can scatter handful OF thistle seed be
fore the wind in moment, but the
strongest nnd wisest men cannot gather
them again.
