Slang.

Mr. WEBSTER says slang is low, vulgar,
upmcaning language. We can go no
where, not even into polite society, with
out hearing it. We expect no better
things from coarse, vile persons, but
when we hear it from tho lips Of pure:
minded, virtuOus people, II sound
strangely. We are startled, and ask our
selves if we heard Alright, or did our caro-
deceive us And when we hear women,
ladies, use slang words and phrases, we
are deeply panied, and wonder what foul
spirit inspired them. There is nothing
more beautiful, no adOrnment ofperson,
nor grace Of manner, more charming than
chaste words in speech. Ii there is q
beautiful face and elegent attire, the whole

Like marble fountain, its Wilderness is
stained by the impure stream that flows
from its mouth. 1t is said of a certain
fairy, that whenever she opened her lips,
pearls dropped out. But who would
ever mistake such expressions as
these: THAT'S too tiiinY' "You can't
come it.' "Now you've put your foot in
it!' for pearls. Is not our character

The speech may not be always according
to grammatical construction, but it may
always be pure 1t may not be in high
sounding words; but it may be honest
simple Saxon. Human voices, like in
struments of music, may vary in their
tones; but they may all give forth melody.
Nothing CRATES more harshly on the ear,
or mars the pleasure of conversation, like
low, common expressions. The people of
this land-it may be true of the people of
other lands : are sadly given to slang.
A form OF speech is invented by some
one; it becomes current on the street; it
creeps into our houses; the children
catch it, and from the lips of those upon
whom we had looked as being as pure
and stainless as the new-fallen snow.
People lack originality, that force Of
character that makes them independent;
they are imitators, and unfortunately
initiate that which is beneath them, and
not that which is above them-Prooi-
