''Love in cottage" costly may dwell,
But much prefers to have it furnished we'll!
A parlor ample and kitchen snug,
A handsome carpet, an embroidered rug
A well stored pantry and a tidy maid,
A blazing hearth, a cooling window shade,
Though merely mortal, money purchased things
Have wondrous power to clip loves errant wings
"Love in cottage" isn't just the same
When wind and water strive to Quench the flame
Too oft it breeds the sharpest discomfort,
The puzzling question show to pay the rent
A smoky chimney may alone suffice
re dim the radiance OF the fondest eyes;
A northern blast, beyond the slightest doubt,
May fairly blow the torch of Hymen out;
And have heard worthy matron hold
Gas one who knew the truth OF what she told)
Love onss was drowned, though reckoned wa
ter preof,
By the mere dropping of leaky roof"

ERRORS OF EVERYDAY SPEECH.

| The chronological Journal says: ga
contemporary has selected some of the
most conspicuous faults of language to
which people are given, and held them
up in their bare deformity. An incor-
rect phrase may sound well enough
but when written or printed, it's i'm
propriety seems to stand out clearly
enough.
"There are some faults of speech in
to which people have come, from sheer
bondage to traditional custom. These
faults vary with sections Of our coun-
try and change with communities. The
provincialisms of New England, of the
Middle, of the Southern, and of the
Western States, have their Well-defned
characteristics. Still there are some
errors common to all, and which spring
not SO much from ignorance of gram
NAUTICAL rules as from long-continued
colloquial carelessness. Let us specify
few Of these: 4 have new pair of
Shoes I only want a trife.' I expect
it may be So I should like muffin.
"A party told me the story These lit
tie vulgarisms pass currently and quite
unnoticed. Still the shoes are new and
not the pair. A trifle only is wanted.
One supposes without expectation.
Should expresses future obligation ;
would, present desire; and a person
is never a party.
"Then there is another class Of pet
errors with which one is constantly
annoyed. You hadn't ought to say it.
He is a very reliable man.. I will
learn your lesson I lost near ten dol
lars 4 mean to stop at home He
was gone before / knew it, who do
you think I saw?' I know her WE'LL
He has chose a wrong way These
samples may suffice to point out large
number of inaccuracies which are toll
Grated, even among polite people.
"a few more Of another sort may be
Ally mentioned: He is better than me.
The books lay on the table Y gu should
have went at once Him and me took
walk He rose up and left the ROOM
You have mistook me- Sing the two
frst verses of the 10th hymn DO not
let me discommode YOU These are
faults which can be readily avoided by
due attention to the simplest rules of
grammar and the laws of proper ex-
preston.
"HOw common is the expression used
by people who claim high culture,
You are mistaken when they mean
You mistaken Not long since we were
provoked into a discussion to prove
the error of you are mistaken, an &C
quaintance failing to perceive at once
the inaccuracy of the phrase. So, too,
people mix the terms will and shall
in most promiscuous manner"
To the above selections Of inaccura-
cies we would add the phrase chad
better" which is more common and in
accurate than any Of them: AS, you
had better 50 to church; We had bet
ter go home This is an inaccuracy
generally used by by the leading pub
locations Of our country and by nearly
all literary, scientific and popular writ
ers. And yet it is q gross inaccuracy
bordering closely on vulgarism.

HOW INAU DURATION DAY WAS
OBSLRTED IN THIS CITY.

The reader will observe at the head
Of this column, the old familiar song
bird of the TELEGRAPH, singing the
same old song Of victory that he has
sung for the last sixteen years. His
appearance has been delayed several
months on account Of democratic Chi
canery and fraud, but his song Is none
the less sweet for that. Last Monday,
was day Of triumph for the Republi-
cans Of Kenosha, after many months
|of weary waiting they were rewarded
by the news that Hayes had been de-
clared legally elected, and therefore it
was meet that they should rejoice. A
good display of bunting was made over
the post office and other public build
ingS and many private houses. In the
afternoon the old Rodman gun was Ia
ken out and a national salute fred, in
honor Of the occasion, while the bells
of the City Hall, and a number Of the
churches, the steam whistles Of several
factories and the cheers Of the assem-
bled multitude all combined to give
vent to the expression of the people ut
the happy termination Of the 'Presi-
Dental muddle." Now that the Re
publicans have carried their point and
elected the President, let them contin-
ne in the good work and be not weary
in we'll doing. In about four weeks
the annual charter election Of the city
will occur and they will again be call
ed upon to maintain the principles for
which they have SO long striven Turn
out then attend the primaries /; select
the best men for the Offices and then
elect them and let not the glory Of
this great triumph be furnished by 3
defeat next month.
A County Judge is also to be elected.
The office Of County Judge is the most
important office in the County. The
Republicans should nominate an hon
est, capable and trustworthy man for
the Office and then be sure to elect him.
