walking with little lady who comes

Years ago some Welch miners, in
exploring an old pit that had been
long closed, found the body Of a
young man dressed in n fashion long

the air OF the mine had been such rs
to preserve the body 30 perfectly that
it appeared asleep rather than dead.
The miners were puzzled at the cir
cumstanccs no one in the district
had been missed within their remcn-
brance and ut last it was resolved to
bring the oldest inhabitant-an old
lady, long past her eightieth year, who
had lived single in the village the
whole of her life On being brought
into the presence OF the body, a
strange scene occurred, the old lady

dressed it by every term Of loving
endearment, couched in the quaint
language of a by-gone generation. lie
was her only love; she had waited
for him during her long life; she
knew that he had not torsaken her.
The old woman and the young man
had been betrothed sixty years before.
The lover had disappeared mysteri-
ously, and she had kept faithful during
that long interval. Time had stood
still with the dead man, but had left
its mark on the living woman. The
miners who who were present were a
rough set, but very gently, and with
fearful eyes, they removed the old
lady to her house, and the some night
her faithful spirit rejoined that Of her

The Enicrammatic reno sncy.

From the Chicago Express.
This is an epigrammatic age. The days
of long and howery sentences have vanish-
ed. The craze for realism has wrought a
rhetorical reform that is just now in ITS
noon of prosperity. Conciseness is ile
thing. Clearness of thought is supposed
TO be a concomitant of compactness. 1he
aim is to get away from the foggy dicti3n
which once concealed thought with su4f
mastery skill. The only fear Is that we
have got so far away that we Will grow
hungry for the ponderous amphhcatloD
that has been banished Superfiuous and
cumbrous as those long and ornate sem
tences were there was charm, zest In
them sometimes, which makes one turn
from the metallic epigrammatic blaze OF
the present. and long for a breeze from
their nowery pages. How they scared and
swaved and swung among the very heavens
of phlology; obscurty was their strong
point. They mufiled thought, concealed
ideas, and befogged everything. But they
were often charming. What excitement
it was to hunt down an idea through an
underground of weary adlectives and
bristling phrasesP Now, ideas are set
down so nearly naked of words that q
moral writer OF half century ago would
hide his face and run away from them as
from something immodest. Philology 10
Itkeeps pace with the times.
This rushing age demanded a literary style
that presented ideas una6orned, and In
striking rather than imposing attitude,
and the demand was recognized and sup
piled. Sentences are pared down until
they have a famished look Bret Harte
was the first writer OF fiction 20 act on the
that suggestion was more
forceful than an assertion. lt leaves some-
thing for the Imagination to fill, and by
this means increases its own strength.
The great ends achieved ~ the shorn style
Of composition now in favor is the rest il
gives to those beasts of burden, the adiec-
ives. There is something hendish in the
nature of adjectives. They are constantly
IN the alert TO edge themselves in. They
,ome in the most aluring Quise. and as
,ume the mildGst manners; but their real
intent Is TO cripple a writer and ruin his
tyle, and they always succeed; and If
hey can palm themselves of for rouns
hey die as happy as d fly who succeeds In
)eing mistaken for huckleberry and gets
baked in pie One Of the most forcei1l
writer's the world bas ever known, the ter
lble Dean Swift, whose coarse lampoons
nd bitter satires made even bravado
remble, rarely made use of an adjective.
he very nakedness Of his utterances made
hem deathless. Fashionable as the epi-
style is, by half the reading
