Pronunciation Test.

Miss Ellen Schreiner bro ught the following
to the editor and compelled him to read it
aloud while she stood Laughing at his I'M
Websterian pronunciations. There are more
than thirty words which the average reader
will be liable to pronounce incorrectly. Try il:
An Indian attracted by the aroma of the
coffee and the broth, arising from the bivouac
moving down the path, met bombastic bravo
who was troubled with bronchitis. The Indian
being in dishabille, was treated with disdain by
this BLACKBOARD, who called him dog, and
babe him with much vehemence and contume-
" to leave his domain. or he would demon
sfrate by his carbine the use of coffin and
cemetry The Indian calmly surveying the
dimentions of his European opponent, and be-
ine sagacious and robust, and having all the
coinoatiyeness of a combatant, shot this ruffian
in the abdomen with an arrow.
A young patriot with black mustache,
coming from the museum, laughingly said,
bravo you should be nationally rewarded by
receiving the right Of franchise, for l witnessed
the alteration, and the evidence is irrefrag-
able and indisputable that yon have removed a
nauseOus reptile / now make this inquiry
will not the matrons in this country, and the
patrons of our schools, inaugurate some sys-
TEN that will give an impetus to the interest
ing study OF our language? If half the leisure
moments were thus spent in lieu of reading
some dcspicable romance, we should be wiser
than we are.
