Metaphors.

In our ordinary speech the profusion
of simple metaphor that we employ is
very 81 gnifcant of it's value to us. For
the most abstract ideas we evidently
prefer to resort to modes of expression
that would be hyperbolical were they
not familiarized by custom. The growth
of slang or unconstrained speech is con-
stantly enriching language with rude
metaphorical forms. Among such met
aphorical expressions as "killing" time,
the "march - of intellect, ETC., the best
are being continually drafted off into
accepted language. Poetry, the uncon-
strained expression Of more crystalline
minds, produces larger and finer crop
of metaphor. "Solidity" of intellect,
mental "grasp," "sound" doctrine,
of thought, scattered" wits, "shat-
tered" hopes, breaking" the peace,
"overthrowing" political opponent,
the narrow circle of sect, speaking
with "point" or weight" the elm
fancy" of schism, an unquiet"
fancy, "load" of guilt, "seeds" of
dissension, q "rooted" belief, "carry-
ing" justice, borrowing" light, "echo.
ing" a thought, standing" admoni-
ton, sacrifice" of honor, monetary
ENHANCEMENT, cementing" :. of
Friendships, "talling" into a dis pute, Il
"pillar" of commerce, "musty" morals,
" rigid rules, "fair" fame, STOPPING"
to fattery, overlooking" with love,
"awakened" instinct, "fiery" temper
these are metaphors grown so custom.
ary by use that we forget that they are
metaphors at all. In discussing g
" subject" we forget altogether that the
words mean radically the shaking asun-
der of something cast under or brought
beneath us.-7hs University Magazine.

fornia mine, correspondent writes:
"She is one of the most charming of

ual, (she speaks French and Spanish as
perfectly as she does English,) the
charms of her mind would eclipse those
of her person were not both thrown into
the shade by the exquisite loveliness and
sweetness Of her noble and elevated
nature. She is very lovely, and is still
quite young, Her form is petite and
taultlessly proportioned, her dark hair
and her eyes Of exceeding beauty: being
large and lustrous, of dark, clear blue,
dashed with long, black lasbes. Unspoil-
ed and unspoilable by position which
would have turned the heads of ninety
nine women out of a hundred, she wears
its onorous dignities as graceful and with
as little ostentation a. she might fresh

stories that have appeared respecting her
in the papers are pure invention. She
never wanted to illuminate the Arc-de-

to buy it. Gentle, gracious, generous
and kindly -hearted is she, and the world
is all the better for having such woman
in it.

The largest infant at birth of which

born in Ohio on the 18th of last January.
The newborn boy was twenty-three and
three quarter pounds in wei ht (the or

height being about twenty inches), The
circumference of the head was nineteen
inches, and the foot WAS five and half
inches in length. Six years ago the

A Mercfless 9lauxhter.

A kietf correspondent of st. Petersburg
journal gives the following account of the
outbreak among the political prisoners last
month: "The persons under arrest in the
Kieff prison resolved some time ago to tun.
mel under the walls and escape. The
scheme was betrayed by one of the con.
spirators. The authorities allowed the
prisoners to continue the excavation.
When the tunnel was completed and the
prisoners had entered it, one after another,
intending to come up through the opening
beyond the prison precincts, soldiers, pre-.
viously posted at the opening, shot the
escaping prisoners as they came up, when
the bulk of the prisoners, terrified by
the noise Of the firing, stopped
and remained in the tunnel. The
soldiers were sent in from be.
hind, and the unfortunate wretches, caught
between two fires, were all shot down. The
proceeding seemed to give the officials
much amusement, and the director of the
Kief prison was praised and decorated for
having acted with such 'cleverness and
decision" The correspondent adds:
"Quite in keeping with this is the state
ment published by Russian chaplain in
the Central prison at Charkoff in the official
church organ. he declares that of the five
hundred prisoners detained at that prison,
two hundred died within four months. One
OF the heaviest charges made by the Mill
lists against Russian official administration,
vas brutal treatment Of prisoners, in con-
sequence of which the health OF most of
hem has broken down, many dying, and
ome being driven mad" '~

sarcastic speeches, and in not a very

Bow Shepherds in Nebraska.

One pleasant day we rode twenty
miles over the Laramie plains, from
Laramie City to the Little Laramie
river, where we found 8 prosperous sheep
raiser from Nebraska, named Edward
Farrell. There we're no neighbors for
miles around, with the exception of q
nephew of Motley, the historian, who had
left his fathers pleasant home, near
Boston, Mass, and located a sheep
ranch close by here. The Farrells gave
Us most hospitable reception. We
babe them good bye late in the after
noon, turned off to the right of Sheep
mountain, and, entering narrow plain
between high ranges of hills, spurred for.
ward our jaded animals, until the
gathering shadows warned us that we
could proceed no further with safety.
At daybreak we spied large flock of
sheep in corral close by a rude cabin
Of dugout, in which were two boys, SONS
Of MI. Frrrell. Here, twelve miles or
more from home, they had been tending
a flock of $500 sheep during the entire
season. They shci their game with an
old rife, did ther own cooking, and
lived entirely alone with their dogs and
TWO ponies employed in herding the sheep,
which were driven into the corral every
night as a protection against bears,
wolves, and other wild animals. An
antelope which one of them had shot
the day previous was suspended near the
door Of the cabin. There was a good
range here, and the father had in the
spring time sent the boys and the sheep
to possess it.
Youwill be surprised when I tell you
that these lads, intrusted with the care
of over 1900 sheep, and living here IN
this remote, secluded spot! were oniy IL
and IS years Of age. 1t is astonishing,

frontier children display, and the skill

take.0

A story is told of Kentucky girl
who h d agreed to elope with lover
whom her parents refused to admit to
the house. She descended the ladder in
the night and started with him on
horseback. "Now you see now much I
love you," she said; "you will be always
true and kind husband, won't you?"
He answered gruffly, Perhaps may,
and perhaps not" She rode in silence
q few minutes, when she suddenly ex-
claimed: "Oh! what shall we do? I
have left my money behind me in my
room!" "Then," said he, "we must go
back and fetch it," They were seen
again at the house, the ladder was again
placed, the lady renounted, while the
ill-natured lover remained fellow. But
she delayed to come, and so he gently
called, care you coming?" when she
looked out of the window and said,
4" Perhaps I may and perhaps not" and
then shut down the window.
