Latin Quotations.

No one. except writer's for periodicals, car ap-
preciate those beautiful sentences in Latin that
fall SO gracefully from the experienced writer's
pen. And, moreover, nearly all great men
have died with some wondrous Latin quotation
upon their lips when or before you and were
children, and it is no more than is due the
present generation that scholars like we are
! should furnish something for the great men OF
to-day, and to morrow for that matter, to quote
when they shall lay aside their present great
ness, and, as the ancients have said, Comm

At first it may seem strange that I should
quote the above. but when it is properly dis
sected the matter in the quotation is extremely
beautiful.
Comm is two-thirds Latin, and means in I'M
adulterated English "it-out." "vamoosed. "
The next word smells, in English, like New
York market in the afternoon of day in July.
The next word following was manufactured by
Nimrod or some other Latin scholar of no &C
count, to fill a vacuum. Now we come to the
last and most beautiful word Of all in this ele-
CANT quotation. Tears come into my ewes
when think there are persons who are unable
to read and understand this glorious ancient
language. There are but few people who can
not comprehend who their uncle John u.s. We'll.

But, as this is no Latin school, will try and
control myself, and write more for pleasure
than to weigh the mind down with so much
learning. I have other beautiful quotations

a strange story about William Startup,
who lives near that village. For some
time he has had severe pains in his
right arm, which he has attributed to
rheumatism. Lately he noticed small
protuberance on his side underneath
his arm. His wife made an examination
Of the excrescence and saw what ap-
peared like thread in it, lying very
near the surface. She got hold of one
end Of the substance and kept pulling
until a piece OF thread, about eight
inches in length, was drawn from the
body. How this thread got there he
does not know, but fancies that it was
attached to needle and got into the
body in that way, and that the needle
is there still. He still has pain in the
arm and that portion of the body.

The difference in quality between the
coffee imported into this country and
that sold is remarkable. The New
York sam says that of thirt7-four sam
pies of ground coffee lately analysed in
that city thirty-one were adulterated,
more or less, with chioory. Roast corn
was in twelve, and beans and potato
-four in one. Chicory itself is often
adulterated as coffee. Horse chestnuts,
