Tricks Of Speech.


Language is like a muddy road in
winter. In using it we are very apt to
make ruts, and to stay in them when
made. Nothing is easier than to fall
into a mannerism or trick of speech. To
get out of the rut is not so easy.
The English language consists Of
about sixty thousand words, and yet out
of this ample treasure it has been calcu-
lated that many persons use only about
three hundred. OF adjectives, for in
some people. "Awful,n ''elegant,"
'jolly," "nice," do duty for all the rest.
Tricks of speech are, however, rather
terms of expression than single words;
and it is curious how countries or dis
tricts where the same language is
spoken are distinguished by peculiar
mannerisms.
You may often tell John Bull, you
know, by his you-knowing manner. He
says, "At the battle of the Nile, you
know, was there all the while, you
know" though perhaps you never
heard of either it or him before. Yam
KEGS are supposed to be always guess
ing, though in the Southern and West
ern States az reckon" and "I calkilate''
are as common as 'I guess" Guessing
is quick, reckoning is a slow process.
Stereotyped responses to a statement
are quite frequent, and characteristic OF
people who seem to be "to the manner
born" You inform your friend that
Miss Smith, an old maid, is married. II
| he is from New England, he is almost
sure to exclaim, "Do tell !" or az want
to knowr' or "How you talk % If he
is from Old England, he says, "Upou
my word n' or ibid you ever ?" If be
is of Hibernian extraction, he remarks
"Yes, sure" or "Sure noww If from
the land of Bismarck, he inquiries, 'Ii
| that SO ?"
Some persons have q custom of pre-.
facing their speech with the phrase "Ai
l say" or ."What I CALL" as though
they uttered something peculiar tC
themselves. OF such persons it hal
been well observed that they are just
4 the people who never said an original ol
striking thing in all their lives.
Among the lower classes in England
a very cOmical effect is often produced
by the use of the phrase, "As the saying
is" after the most ordinary utterance
We once heard a washer-w woman re
mark, ''This soap is not very good, a.
the saying is" A variation of tht
same phrase is the expression, "If
may say so," which we have hearC
some individuals use almost every TIM
they opened their mouths.
Some persons are unnecessarily pro
fuse with their EXPLANATIONS, such a
"My goodness" Goodness gracious, ,
"Dear me-" which are mild forms o
swearing, as originally they all referred
to the Divine Being. The last is really
"Dio nlio," the Italian for any God.
Our grandfathers INDUCED in such ab
surd expletives as "Zounds!" and "Ods
bodikins ~
1t must be evident to all who conside
the subject that all tricks or mere habit
of speech ought to be avoided. With 81
rich an instrument as our English Ian
guage, there is no good reason for harp
ing only on few strings, and these b,
no means the sweetest. He who woull
express himself well and agreeabl,
must cultivate variety of language AM
style Of speech; and his thoughts will
improve in the same ratio as his abilit,
to express them.

The SCHooLS.-At the Free Religious
Convention, in Worcester, on the 10th
and 18th of November, Mr.. Abbot, of
The IndeZ, thus stated the pending con-
troveIsy over the religious question in
politics:
1.-THE battlefield is now the schools.
The Protestants are at work in their
way; they concede that the State must
not recognize the church, but insist that
it shall recognize Christianity, the relig-
ion of the church. Protestants and
Catholics alike claim to make the State
Christian and education Christian; their
principle Is the same. But Liberals de-
mand to make the State secular and ed
ucation secular. They refuse to yield to
the demands of either of the other par
ties. They deny the right of either to
make the State or schools Christian at
all. They protest against Sabbath laws
and non-taXation eff churches.
''If the Protestant Christian Amend
ment should prevail, it would carry the
nation back to the Middle Ages. This
Protestant plan points to Rome, and
Rome means a state Of affairs which we
of to-day can have no conception. To
counteract these tendencies, Liberals
should organize in every town and city
of the land, and educate the people in
the secular principle, which demands
schools free from all Christian control
whatever. Mr.. Abbot did not believe in
taxing Catholics for the Protestant re-
ligion, or Protestants for the Catholic
religion, or Liberals for the religion OF
either. He desired all schools secular
lied so as to make good citizens, each
man free to think and act for himself in
profound respect for the equal rights oil
his neighbor."

MAGRUDER'S EXPERIMENT Mrs.
Magrnder's baby (says the Ddn6ury
NetOs) is carried out by the nurse now,
since the accident to its carriage. Ma
gruder thought it would be a good idea
TO have a tame goat to pull the coach,
and he bought one for the purpose; but
one day the goat met another goat that
differed from him in politics or some
thing, and each undertook to convince
the other by jamming him in the skull.
Every time Magruder's goat would rear
up, preparatory to making to lunge for
ward, Magruder's baby would Iurch
over backward, and when Magruder's
goat struck the other goat, the coucus-
sion would shake the milk in the baby's
stomach into butter. And sometimes
the other goat would aim at Magruders
goat, which would dodge, and then the
other goat would plunge head-foremost
into the coach, and mash the baby up
in the most frightful manner. And In
the midst of the contest couple of dogs
Joined in, and Magruder's goat backed
of and tilted the coach into the gutter,
and the dogs, biting around, kind of
generally, would snap at the goat and
cause it to whirl the baby around Just
in time for the bite; until at last the
goat got disheartened, and sprang
through the fence, leaving the coach on
the other side, and struggling frantically
to escape, while the other goat crowded
up against the baby in order to avoid
the dogs, and finally knocked the baby
out, and butted the coach to splinters.
They say that the way Mrs. Magruder
eyed Magruder that afternoon, when
they brought the baby home mutilated
and disheveled, was simply awful to
behold; that she didn't speak to him for
q week, and he had to soften her down
by buying her an ostrich feather for her
winter hat.
