MIR. j. T. TRowBRIDGE is said to
never compose his poems with pen in
hand, nor his prose without it. His
poetic muse visits him chiefly in the

lines in his mind in this way, and in
writing them down he revises them re-
peatedly.

PROF. LoUNsBURY has discovered .
new use for slang. He says it is the
tendency of language in the hands of
the literary class to become formal and
dead; and that slang phrases having
their origin in popular usage, and be-
ing coined out of actual experiences, by
a process of natural selection become
the feeders of the literary language of
the people; so that it often happens
that what Is Vulgar in one age is classic
in the next. He derides the idea that
language needs watching and cannot be
trusted to the people at large.

measure swords with her. She has
weapons so fine, so keen and so subtle
that, although he can feel them, he can
not see nor touch them. As Mrs.
Browning says, . woman can take fine
cambria needle and torture with it.
A man who has incurred woman's re-
sentiment will be stung and bewildered
by her keen, yet delicate thrusts. He
feels a vague sense of thorough discom-
fort which he can scarcely analyze or
refer to an origin. His own gross
weapons are out of place in such con-
test. He lays them down and stands
helpless.
Another state of things that brings
out the masculine helplessness in bold
relief is sickness. This, 1 admit, tends
to produce helplessness both in man
and woman, but in the latter it is not
so thorough nor so marked by imbecili-
ty as in the case of the man. So little
idea has . man of making himself COM
Portable when he is sick. that he does
not even know how to adjust his pillow,

1t is always a solemn and painful
task to write Of the dead, but more
than ever is it sorrowful duty when
VIC have to chronicle the death Of one
who had been a friend since his boy
hood. We knew Ashland Richards
at school aud he was One Of the most
genial, companionable, noble hearted
fellows we ever met. He was ever q
iavoriie among his fellsw.students and
none knew him but to esteem. When
We attended school with him
three years ago, he was superior ply
sically, to all Of his comranions aud
yet he is the first to die. He had been
IN business in this city since he left
school two years ago, and some weeks
since he was smitten with Typhoid
fever He gradually grew worse and
hls parents, who live at Brownsville,
Tenn. were sent for. and came only
to watch by his bed few short days
aud see him die. lie Is dead. in the be-
ginning of promising manhood,
leaving many relatives aud innumer-
able friends to mourn his untimeiy
taking Of. He was inferred at the
city cemetery and his remains were
followed to their final resting place by
long procession Of sorrowful friends.
He is gone. MAJ he rest in peace
Few men are born to possess in so
remarkable a degree SO many Of the
nobler traits Of character, as Ashland
Richards. He. il any one, deserved a
better fate than an early death.
