that We give these hints. A blow of

A kind of gangrene sets in, which all
the efforts of the tree. however young
and vigorous it may be. will never
recover from. We had o Downton tree

Hartranft at the head OF his body of

well he proud of them. BY the time
this division reached the head of the
avenue the street was entirely dry and
the wind was already tlinging light
clouds of dust into the air. The CON
ditons for marching could scarcely
have been better, so the IS regiments
from Pennsylvania marched along. all

with k'apsacks and blankets rolled
upon them They evinced Il marvel
Gus degree of discipline, their num-
bers seemed interminable, and before
the $500 or 5000 men had passed a

Company II.

On the first day of March,
In eighteen eighty-one,
The boys of Company II
Came out In unifotm.
To get ready for the trip,
That WIS coming so soon.
To attend the Inauguration,
Way down In Washington.
Every thing being ready,
The boys all but II few,
Left their native village,
With the NAVY boys in blue.
With Capt. Schnning and Woodward,
At the Company's head.
But poor Lieutenant Horton,
Was in his little bed,
Cur trip from home TO Washington,
Passed Off very neat,
But the boys would oft remark,
"Who was it broke that seat"
The weather was very fair,
Till we passed through Baltimore,
Then rain, snow, and slret
Down on our car did pour.
Next morning the boys were astir,
After long and tiresome ride,
And formed in line of march,
On the Potomac sunny side.
We marched straight to the Capitol,
Where thousands stood to gaze.
Where stood the famous Garfield,
Escorted there by Hayes.
The decoration of the houses,
Was splendid to behold,
But the beauty of the fireworks,
think, never can be told.
Next morning with orderly Parsons,
We walked out on the street,
And visited the Senate chamber,
And saw Arthur take his seat.
At seven in the evening,
We bid Washington adieu,
With many thousand others,
OF the jolly Boys in Blue.

Big Words.

Big words are great favorites with
people of small ideas and weak concep.
tiOns. They are sometimes employed
by men of mind, when they wish to use
language that may the best conceal
their thoughts. With few exceptions,
however, llliterate and half-educated-
persons use more big words" than
people of thorough education. It is
a very common, but egregious mistake,
to suppose that the long words are more
genteel than the short ones-just as the
same sort of people imagine that high
colors and flashy figures improve the
style of dress. They are the kind of
folks who don't begin, but " commence.
They don't live, but "reside." They
don't go TO bed, but mysteriously "re-
tire" They don't eat and drink, but
"partake of refreshments" They
are never sick, but " Extremely indis-
posed /" and instead of dying, at last
they "decease." The strength of the
English language is in the short words
chiefly monosyllables of Saxon deriva-
ton and people who are in Earnest
seldom use any other. Love, hate,
anger, grief and Joy express themselves
In short words and direct sentences
while cunning, falsehood and affectation
