"The Mother of Venice
Charles Warren Stoddard writes

Charles Warren Stoddard writes 10
the San Francisco Chronicle:
"It is not only the unutterable So
lemnity of Torcello that impresses the
voyager who come, to these desolate
shores with light heart-for he Is
sure to be a pleasure-seeker-, but the
very air is burdened with sorrowful in.
fiuences; all merriment is out of place
here, and laughter sounds like moe
kerry. Thirteen hundred years ago
Torcello and all these low lagoon
meadows were uninhabited. A few
sea fowl blew about in the wind, and
the fishermen from, the main land
cruised among the shoals but no one
had then dreamed of the glorious cities
that were is rise among the waters,
cities that are still lovely and glorious
even in decay. The inhabitants of AL
tidum were driven from their homes
by the invasion of AttiIa in the fifth
century. Ini 641, while their houses
were in flames and they were flying
and falling before the fury of their
conquerors, there was no avenue of
escape sbut one-the sea. From the
smoky ruins of Lombardy they sought
refuge in the moist meadows of Tor
cello. They were not cast down sea
air and sea water are life,giving. A
city arose in the very foam. of the
Adriatic, and the stout-hearted re-
fugees fourished under the inspiration
of a broader liberty than they had
ever known before. From Torcello,
to Murano was but a step; their peo-
pie increased and covered island after
island. The settlement of the Rialto
followed. Around this island were
hundred little islets and shoals; these
were woven together by bridges; the
land was filled in and raised above
food water mark the channels were
:. the city spread like some
splendid sea plant that. flowers with
a thousand floating leaves. This was
Venice, the crowning glory of the
toilers of the sea. 1t still lives, though
it is halfparalyzed, and its splendor
is dimmed and tarnished. But Tor
cello, the mother of Venice, is twenty
times dead; it is grave, the memory
Of which is half obliterated."
The Hartford herald., 1875-12-22
OhrTouxue.

Mr.. Washington Moon has written o
new work on bad English. Some of
the errors which he singles out.are de,
cidedly amusing. For example:
A furrier, lamenting in. an advertise
ment the tricks played upon the public
by unprincipled men in his own trade.
Earnestly requests ladies to bring
him their skins, which he promises
shall be converted into muffs and
boas."
Another advertisement 'ran.thus:
1.-TWO sisters want washing"
Here must have been q strange
sight:
"He rode into town, and drove
twelve cows on horseback"
A gentleman advertised for horse:
"For lady of dark color, q good
trotter, high stopper, having q long
tail"
Better. more eamusing, more instruct>
i've, and more credible is the following
illustration of the inevitable ambigui-
ties involved in accurate language.
One gentleman observed to another:
81 have a wife and six children liv-
ing in New York and never saw one Of
them" wa
"Were you ever blindT
ooh, no." replied the other.
A further lapse of time, and then the
interrogation resumed the subject:
"Did I understand you to say that
you had a wife and six children living
in New York and you have never seen
one of them p
"Yes, such is the fact"
Here followed a still longer pause in
the conversation, when the interroga>
tor, fairly puzzled. said:
"How can it be that you never saw
one of thcmf"
"Why," was the answer, zone of
them was born after I left"
