Big Words.

Big words are great favorites
with people Of small ideas and weak
conception. They are sometimes
employed by men of mind, when
they wish to use language to con.
ceal their thoughts. With few ex-
ceptions' however, illiterate and
half educated, persons uses more
big words than people Of thorough
education. 1t is very common,
hut egregious mistake, to suppose
that the long words are more gen.
tcel 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 be.

instead of dying, at last they de.

language is in the short words
chiefly nonosyllables of Saxon deri'

themselves in short words and di

Mrs. Garfeld's Fine Ores sing.

Washington Letter TO Courcr.Journal.
Mrs. Garfield, as well as her hus.
band, has given herself up to these
unreasonable demands. The family
breakfast at half.past eight, and
Gov. Foster and few intimate
friends have a standing invitation
to drop in informally. The duties
of the day. begin early, and, as Mrs.
Garfield receives every evening, it is
nearly midnight before the principle
actors are of duty.
Mrs. Garfield appears to possess
great powers of endurance, although
she looks fragile. She is selfcon.
tanned little lady, betraying neither
nervousness nor weariness. She
has youthful. girlish figure. and
easy, graceful movements. She is
deliberate, thoughtful, and with
such perfect sef.possession, that the
strictly society women might well
envy and initiate. In the matter of
dress, Mrs. Garfield has come mp 10
the requirements of her position.
She gave her first public reception
Saturday afternoon from to q pm.
She wore rich Lyons velvet of a
perfect shade; the shape was of the
princess cut with the fulluess at the
back fastened with long loops of
velvet lined with Sultan red satin,
delicate lace filed in'the open neck,
and trimmed the halflong sleeves;
her brown hair was worn according
to the present fashion-close 10 the
head and knotted ut the back; she
wore long gloves Of light shade.

] AN very patient, knowing
All 10 for the best;
Yet the summer light is clearest
Ere the soul departs,
Nature seems to draw the nearest
Unto dying hearts.
Have they told you am leaving
Earthly things behind'
Love, perhaps, was but deceiving,
Friendship proved uukind:
Yet the sunshine, slowly stealing
Down the soft green slope,
Brings back all the trustful feeling,
All the dreams Of hope.
Have they told you | am hasting
To fairer homrf
Yea; bat here are roses waiting,
Blossoms white rs foam;
Here are suu-gilt vine leaves wreathing
Round onr cottage door,
Here arc solemn fir-trses breathing
Fragrance evermore.
Have they told you | am setting
All my thoughts on hight
Yes: but can ] learn forgetting
While old hauBts are nigh
When the bracken plumes are swayiug
On our Pine-crowned hill,
| can almost hear Yen saying
That you love me still.
Hush; hear footstcp falling
On the garden plot,
And voice speaks, softly calling,
Yet answer not
Till feel your arms around nue.,
On my face your breath.
Love and faith have sought and found III
This is hfe-nos death.
