The English Language.

Mr.. John Albee lecturei in New
York on the English language. The
translation of the Bible by King James
translators and the writings of the
Elizabethan dramatists we're most row.
erful influences, Mr.. Albee thought, in
moulding and fixing the language. It
was fortunate the Bible had been trans
lated when the best style Of language
that of the great dramatists-wa in
vogue. The translators, too, had been
inspired, and insb iration found voice,
beauty and vigor in the simplest ex-
pressions. The Bible, then, had met
the necessities of those who objected to
parts of tho drama. "Notc the differ.
ence," said the lecturer, in conclusion,
between the unaffected simplicity and
power of the writings Of those times with
the obscure, affected style of to-day
Now we do not ask but inquire; q wo-
man is female a father paternal re-
lative we do not give but donate we
never go, begin. eat, get, but proceed,
commence, partake, receive when
youhSct VIC uuu' IooihS, uub now apaft-
ments; then there were singers, nov
vocalists; and it is pleasant to believe
that no one now gets drunk but intoxi-
Gated. See the contrast. In the Bible,
the most thrilling and best written of all
books, ninety-six per cent of the words
are Anglo-Saxon in SHAKESPEARE, eighty
six per cent. and in Tennyson's Ar
thur, 1900 of the $500 words are
monosyllablcs. And so the rank of all
writer's of fame unquestioned is graded
by the proper use of more or less of the
Saxon language. The union of power
full thought and perfect works is like the
clearest water in the clearest glass the
water and the glass seem but one sub
stance.

sin the swee, by and BY" and the maiden's
voice, =
Rose sweet and clear on the Summer air,
The woodlands echoed the joyful strains,
That came from young heart unturdened
with care,
Thoughllessly the hallowed words fell from
her lips,
AS she blihely sang them all the day long.
Oh that life was one Frightened by sunshine
. and flowers
No trouble to mar the beautiful song.
'In the sweet and by, !" sang the hayward boy,
The words once lsped at dear mother
Now thick and slow in drunken hall,
Are sung in way heart rending 10 see.
All ! they little know what they sing tonight,
The words sung by Saints and mothers true
TrembIe, as they fall from crme-strained lips
God. help them they know not what they
do.
I'm the sweet by and by" softly now
The voice of the widow is bourne on the air,
Weary with toll and battle for bread,
The tender words breathe out widows
prayer.
Lips aged and trembling lisp again,
Lips pale with death aud fast dimming eye,
Ger the bier of loved one we trustlingly say
~ shall meet you again, in the sweet by
and by"
Joy fully our choirs all over the land,
Join in one to watt its sweet notes on high,
Angels bend near 10 catch the last strain,
And heavens domes echo the ''sweet by
and by"
"In the sweet by and by" Those comforting
words
God bless them? Oh, Christians ne err lei
them die
For we hope TO join that celestial throng,
And sing at His feet In the ''sweet by aud

and the chair had rocked the whole fam

hurts and worries. Oh, what chair

all felt it was different. Perhaps there
was about this chair more gentleness,
more tenderness, more grief when we
had done wrong. When we were way

1t was very wakeful chair. In the sick
days of children, other chairs could not
keep awake, that chair always kept
awake-kept awake easily. That chair
knew all the old lullabies and all tn lose
wordless songs which mothers sing to
their sick children-songs in which all
pity and compassion and sympathetic in
