HELP IN ACQUIRING KEowLEpGE.-In
acquiring a knowledge of the English
Language, and especially In learning the
meaning of words, probably no other
work, nor many other books altogether,
can afford so much aid as Websier's I'm
abridged Dictionary, with its 5000 Picto-
rial Illustrations, its precise and full def
%nitions, its careful determinations OF
synonymous words, and its many valu-
able tables. 1t is, in itself, a whole
libra r OF the language. Let one family
have a copy of this work, and use 1t
faithfully, aud another be without it,
the difference in the progress Of the two
families in getting knowledge will be
very great,

Che has been Just year In heaven
Unmarked by white moon or gold sun,
BY str oke OF clock, or clang OF tell,
Or shadow lengthening on the way,
In the full noon and perfect day,
In Safety's very citadel,
The happy hours have sped, have run;
Aud, rapt In peace, all pain forgot,
She whom we love, her white soul shrlven,
Smiles at the thought and wonders not.
We have been Just year alone
A year whose calendar 10 sIghs,
And dull, perpetual wishfulness,
And Smiles eacn covert Tor fear,
And wandering thoughts hall there, half here,
And weariful attempts TO guess
The secret OF the hidden skies,
The soft, inexOrable blue,
With cleaning hints of glory s0wn,
And heaven behind, just shining through,
SO sw eet, 80 sad, 80 swift, 20 slow,
SO full OF eager giowth and light,
So full OF pain which blindly grove
20 full Of thoughts which either way
Have passed and crossed ana touched each day,

The year 80 black, the year 10 white,
Like rivers twain their course have run,
The earthly stream we trace and know,
But VINO shall paint the heavenly one
A year We gather up our powers,
Our lamps we ConseCrate and trim,
Open all windows TO the day,
And welcome every heavenly air.

Quite q Difference.

In one of her charming letters to the
Graphic, Olive Logan notices the differ
ence between English and American
pronunciation, in her usually piquant
style. She speaks of two young Boston
gentlemen who boasted that their accent,
like that of all their set in Boston, was
quite English-"very different from New
Yorkers and Philadelphians and West.
erners, you know" Yet, happening to
meet them later in the day in shop, she
was amused to hear the shop.keeper ask
them if he must get ready their com-
mands in haste--were they returning
home to America very soen? These
young men had simply acquired the
habit of broadening the letter ga" in
speaking, and fancied that therein lay
the whole difference between the English
and the American mode of pronouncing
words.
In the entire group of vowels lies the
difference. Take the word "sIow," for
instance. How do we pronounce it?
Why, "slo :" and " fow,"" Ao." With
the cultivated English the "w" which
ends the word is distinctly enunciated,
and both words on English tongues
rhyme perfectly to "cow," "plow."
Thus, in the utterance of the simple SEN
tence, Your watch is slow" the differ
ence between the English and American
accent is quite observable, "Is that
clock fast?" Outside of the intonation,
the infection, the song of this sentence,
the Englishman pronounces it differ
emily from the American. The word
"that" is clipped so short it seems to
be almost "thet :" "clock' is not acutely
"klok" as with us, but has a baritone
swing in it which makes it almost
"cloak;" and "fast" is generally "fawst,"
certainly never "iaa-st." But in regard
to broadening the "a" is not so general
with English as is supposed in America.
Certain words always have it and never
vary; bath, basket are always bawth,
bawsket; yet "castle" is more often
pronounced as Americans pronounce it
than with the broad ca" "half'' is al
most always pronounced "hawlf," yet
many Englishmen say "pest" for past"
30 that very funny and unexpected
sound often greets the ear Of the Ameri.
can when from the lips of an Euglishman,
he hears the phrase "hawlf-pest" ten,
two, or any ether hour. Some words are
taken to mean quite different things in
England from the received acceptation
in America. For instance, we call an
ugly person "homely;" the sole English
euphemism is "plain." Homely is
o,ito interchangeable with bOme-like.
and one often sees the advertisement,
"Homely apartments wanted" There
fore, when you speak OF a lady or gen
tleman as "homely," the mind of the
English person listening to you never
for a moment reverts to the personal
appearance of the person you are describ.
ing, but takes it to mean that such in
dividual is housekeeping, hearth.hug'
ging.

Remedy for Indigestion.

Here is rather curious remedy, but
in many ca,es very certain one, for the
cure of Indigestion. IT is simply the
cultivation of habit of chewing, while
out OF doors, different kinds o. green
leaves and swallowing the juice. One
can always Gull lesl from a hedge or
bush ~ one passes Almost all are good
that are not nauseous, such az the ivy.
or poisonous, rs the laurel leaf. One of
the latter, however, is q capital thing
where there is slight irritation of the
stomach. The chewing OF leaves cures
dyspepsia, principally, | believe, by in,
creasing the flow OF the saliyary Juice,
and partly by the tonic and stimulating
action Of the leaf chewed. The leaves
that occur to me at present most likely
to be beneficial are those of the pine
trees, spruce or scotch fir, black thorn,
current and rose bushes, mint, the petals
of many flowers, the stalks o; muuntsin-
daisies, the white portion OF rushes, the
bark OF many young trees, and the ten
der parts OF the stalks Of green wheat,
oats, or almost any of the larger grasses;
but your own taste must in great meas
ure guide you, If you elect to mako
trial OF my remedy. l should say, how
ever, that the chewing Is better Ia take
place before or b,tween meals thin I'm.

PROBABLY the most unexceptionable
axnlapation of the cause of the ascent OF
the sap iu plants has been that advanced
by NJ. Joseph Boehm. Evaporation
having deprived the surface cells of a
plant of some of their moisture, the pres
sure of the air forces them to contract.
But these cells are elastic, and have,
therefore, a tendency to return to their
original shape. In reassuming their
form they must absorb either air or
water. Their moisture obstructs the
entrance OF air, and the greater moisture
OF the nearest cells is drawn upon. The
latter, by SIMILAR osnlotic action, make
good their loss by draught upon the
next series of cells, and this is continued
throughout the whole cellular structure
