There is great carelessness, if not ig-
norance, in the matter of punctuation,
whereby much misunderstanding arises
Many persons even emulate the ancient
writers in leaving out all marks or di-
visions of any kind, like the barber who
wrote over his door, "What do you
think l shave you for nothing and give
you drink" which was interpreted by
some to imply an easy shave and morn
ing tipple to be got for the asking. Such,
however, was not the meaning of our
worthy tonsor, who, on being arraigned
before the magistrate for what seemed u
clear case of deception, exclaimed
What do you think | shave you for
nothing and give you u drink ?"
Points were first used by Arlstophanes,
r:ammarian Of Alexandra, 2OO years
b G.. but were not generally used until
the modern system was introduced at the
beginning of the sixteenth century by
learued printer of Venice named Manu-.
tius. Punctuation not only serves to
make an authors meaning plain, but
of;cn saves it from being entirely mis-
conceived And there are many cases
where change Of points completely
alters th, sentiment The following
anecdotr of an English statesman, who
once took advantage o. this fact 70 free
himself from All embarrassing position,
is az amusing illustration
Having charged an officer OF the gov
ernment with dishonesty, he was requir-
cd by Parliament, under a heavy penalty,
publicly to rctract the accusation in tn
House o. CQmwo:s. 81 the appointed
time he appeared with written reoan'a.
4ion, which he read aloud as follows =
a / said lie wa. dishonest, il is true and
I am sorry for it," This was satisfactory;
but what was the surprise of Parliament
the following day to see the retractlon
printed in the papers thus: " | said he
was dishonest; it is true, and ! am sorry
Tor It," BY a simple trauspositlon OF
,the comma and semicolon, the ingenious
slanderer represented himself to the
country, not only a. having made no re.
cantation, but even AZ having reiterated
the charge in the very face OF lllament.
