Short Words.

We must not only think in words, but
we must also try to use the best words,
and those which in speech will put what
is in our minds into the minds of 9th
ers. This is the great art which those
must gain who wish to teach in the
school, the church, at the bar, or
through the press To do this in the
right way they should use the short
words which we learn in early life, and
which have the same sense to all classes
of men. The English of our Bible is
good Now and then some long words
are found, and they always hurt the
verses in which you find them. Take
that which says 80 ye generation Of
vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to Gomez" There is one
long word which ought not to be in it
namely, generation" In the old
version the old word "brood" is used.
Read the verse again with this term,
and you will feel its full force: go ye
viper's brood, who hath warned you to
flee from the wrath to Gomez" Crime
sometimes does not look like crime
when it is set before us in the many
folds Of long word. When a man
steals, and we call it defalcation," !"
we are at q loss to know if il is a blum
der or a crime. II he does not tell the
truth, and we are told that it is case
of "prevarication," it takes us some
time to know just what we should think
of it. No man will ever cheat himself
into wrsBg.doing, nor viii he be at a
loss to Judge of others, if he thinks
and speaks Of acts in clear, crisp terms.
1t is good rule, il one is at q loss to
know il an act is right or wrong to write
it down in q short, ssraight-out Eng
lish. .--HOrdtio Seymour.

A Toad Fight.

l always keep q number of toads in
my orchid houses for the purpose Of
destroying vermin. The other morning,
while watching two males, / was highly
amused at seeing them have regular
set-to fight. They went at each other
in n regular scientific manner, sparring
and boxing with their fore paws and but
ting with their heads. After a while
they seemed to get tired, coolly sat
down and viewed each other with great
complacency From my earliest days l
have been in the habit Of watching the
ways OF toads, and never saw them fight
before.

True Of False.

w
Underneath the latticed porch
Sits she Of the dreamy eyes;
Firefy has lit his torch,
Starry glory fills the skies;
At her feet the moonlight lies,
Checkered bars Of dark and bright,
All the summer night.
Drowsy murmurings from beyond,
Where the treetOps brush the sky
From his rank and weed-grown pond
Comes the bull-frog's croaking cry,
All night long strange beings fly,
Chirp and hum and buzz and boom,
Giving voice to gloom.
But she heeds nor firehy's light
Nor the moonbeams at her feet
Hears no voices in the night
Save some words her thoughts repeat,
Ghosts of golden dreams, and fleet
Echoes Of some far-off days
Cast in pleasant ways.
And her heart says, "He is true %
And the blood impulsive springs;
Lighting her pale features through
With the happiness it brings
And her soul, glad child, sings,
Always with an old refrain
'He will come again P'
Hide thy doubling face, o moon,
Ere her eyes may read the truth
Croaking frog, thy dismal tune
Is black prophecy, in sooth,
For the hopeful heart of youth;
All the world in death would lie
If her dream should die.

dead President will be no passport to the heart of

of the 4Egis to give vent to his grief. The Times
devotes Sirty-siT lines to paavering and instruct

Immense crowds of quiet, orderly persons
thronged the Capitol at Washington, last
week to gaze for the last time upon all that was
mortal of President Garfield. The floral
offerings were numerous and costly. At the
head of the catafalque stood a broken column
of white and purple flowers, surmounted by
white dove On either side of this were
tastefully arranged crown and a pyramid of
roses AT the foot and resting against the
black drapery was magnificent wreath of
flowers, which, by order of Queen Victoria,
was placed upon the casket. Arranged on
each side of this offering from the Queen were
handsome crosses, while at their base was
placed a magnificent floral pillow, on which
was inscribed in violets, "Our Martyr Presi-
dent" Next to this was placed an elaborate
floral emblem, representing "The Gates
Ajar." The Knights of Malta contributed
a large maltese cross, and the Union Veteran
Corps of which General Garfield was mem
Der, pillow of white flowers, bearing in vio-
let letters the incription "U. V. c. to their
Comrade." The whole appearance ofthe cata-
falque was tasteful and elegant.
Mrs. Garfield with her children and few
intimate friends spent short time in the ro-
tunda with the dead, the doors, meanwhile
being barred to strangers. The funeral SER
vices were held on Friday afternoon. They

After the services the remains, followed by
the distinguished assemblage and escorted by
the military, naval and civic organizations,
were conveyed through streets thronged with
a silent multitude, to the Railroad depot, and
placed on the train which conveyed them to
Cleveland, Ohio. At all the large towns
there were demonstrations ofrespect and sor-
row, and in many places the railroad track
was strewn with flowers. A large number of
persons accompanied Mrs Garfield on her sad
journey. The funeral train arrived at Cleve-
land on Saturday night and during Sunday
the remains lay in state in Monument Square,
where not less than 100000 people went to
look upon the casket which contained the
body of the murdered President.

SPECIAL SESSION OF THE SENATE.-In &C.
cordance with the advice of the Cabinet and
the desire of the entire country, on Friday
last President Arthur issued proclamation,
calling the Senate together on Monday, Oc-
tober 10th. This was necessary for the rea-
son that if any accident should happen to
President Arthur, he would have no legal
successor until President is elected by the
Senate. AS the Senate is constituted at pre-
sent the Democrats have clear majority of
three, counting Malone with the Republicans
and Davis with the Democrats
New Republican Senators have been elect
ed in New York in place of Messrs Conklng
and Plat, and Rhode Island will send a Re-
1t is obvious that President must be elected
before any of the new members can be admit
ted, because the President pro tenn. of the
Senate is alone authorized to administer the
oath to new Senator'S The Democrats, it is
understood, will support Senator Bayard, for
President pro TEN. His selection ought to be
as acceptable to the Republicans as it is to
the Democrats, since the former were enthu-
siastic in regard to his nomination for Presi-
dent in 1880.
After the new Republican members are
sworn in, the Senate will be equally divided,
provided Messrs Davis and Malone vote as
they have heretofore done. 1t will therefore
require mutual concessions in order to move
along smoothly, and under these circum-
stances neither party will be able to take po-
ltical advantage of the other.
