THE WELSH LANGUAGE.

The very tune of the Welsh language
that one never-varying sing-song into
which every Welsh preacher breaks when
he warns to his subject-must be the living
echo of the alteration Of the Druids, de-
scended without the slightest change. 1t is
the first note of a scale the second, and the
minor third; and it goes up, and falls, goes
up and falls, a perfect chant there, set in
the midst of speaking, used by every singer
the same, unconsciously, apparently,
as if from the mere habit Of tradition.
The tone Of prayer, too, before this
chant is reached is quite the poetry Of
establishment. 80, Arglwydd!" a
rough Welsh quarryman will exclaim,
low on his knees, struggling for the in
spiration that shall carry the hearts Of
some thirty or forty fellow-worshippers
with him. Arglwydd is the Welsh for
Lord, pronounced Ar-gloo-uth; and the
Welshman will repeat it, 80, Ar-gloo-
nth o Ar.gloo.uth !" in the posture OF
an Oriental, and with all the fervor. In
the church service the words, 'Lord, have
mercy upon u.s." sound Ar.gloo-uth, trig
ar hah oor toom! (standing, 20 Arglwydd
trugarha wrthym !') and they come with
on effect singularly fine.
1t is no less striking to hear the shorter
Of the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt
not kill, Ma ladd; thou shalt not steal, Ma
ladratta; emphasis being in the very short
ness, like swords swift cut. If the En-
glish eye, too, rests upon some Scriptural
terms, it will be reminded Of . nearer
Orientalism, Greece.

On the very trst occasion that we visited

we should conceal the fact that l could
speak Turkish, and engage the services OF
a young Jew, who really spoke English
very we'll, and see how far he would try to
rob us. This we did, and soon settled our
selves down to purchase from an old Turk
a very curious and handsome old English
clock, by celebrated maker who had
been dead some hundred years. The clock
would not go, but it was easy to see there
was not much the matter with it. Prob
ably it had been present from some am
bassador or rich merchant to some Pasha,
and after being stopped and broken by
the fingers of his inquisitive wives, had,
perhaps, been stolen during some fire, and
kept for years until it was safe to expose
it for sale. A. now addressed himself to
the Jew interpreter: .
"Ask the old fellow how much he will
take for the clock"

William A. Smith, OF Virginia, once
President Of Randolph Macon College,

the events which led to a separation be-
tween the Methodists Of the North and
the South, has printed a pamphlet in
London called "a New Discovery: The
Law of the Nervous System, by Which
1t May Preserve Its Freshness and Pur-
lityp Her theory in substance is as fol-
lows: "rhe electricians have estab-
lished formula OF the ebb and flow OF

The flow comm nces about A. M,
with a slight ebb about noon, followed
by another flow until about z. NJ, when
the long ebD begins and continues until

The Freeman's Journal says that in
the archdiocese OF Bait more no new
regulations have been made to prevent
the marriage of Roman Catholics with
Protestants, as was recently alleged in
the Baltimore American, and that the
story recently printed in the same Jour-
nal, to the effect that a Catholic young
lady Intellectually applied to several
Catholic priests TO perform the marriage
ceremony uniting her to Protestant
gentleman, is pure fiction. The plain
story is that the young lady, who is the
daughter of a respectable family of old
Mary Iand Catholics, became engaged,
with the consent Of her parents, TO the
Protestant gentleman who is now her
husband, and was married by Prot.
estant clergyman by her own desire.
