The Use of Short Words.

Horatio Seymour dwells thus strong
ly on the use of short words:
We must not only think in words,
but We must also try to use the best
words. aud those which in speech will
put what is in our mind into the minds
OF others. 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. 70 generation of
vipers, who hath warned you to fee
from the wrath to Gomez" There is one
long word which should not bs in it,
namely generation" In the old YER
sion the old word "brood" is used.
Rend the verse again with this term,
and you feel it's full force. 90 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 u man
steals. and we call it defalcatiop,"
we are ut loss to know if it is blum
der or q crime. If 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 no should think
Of it. No man will cheat himself into
wrong-doing. nor will he be at loss to
Judge Of others, if he thinks and speaks
or acts in clear. crisp terms. 1t is q
good rule, if one is at loss to know if
an act is right or wrong, to write it
down in short. straight out English.

Fine Talk and Refined Talk,

Most American women talk habitully
with an accuracy which would bear
literal repeatings, the language reading
like page copied out of book; while
at the same time there is a fuency which
never psuses for a word, and never
knows the slightest difficulty in ex-
pressing an idea. But having borne 90
willingly a tribute to the Incompatible
superiority of American women as
takers, the rambling writer may be
allowed to say that he thinks English
women use simpler and purer Saxon
English than flows from the lips of
American ladies. In England now it is
assuredly mark and proof Of culture
to adopt this simplicity of style; in this
country it seems as if people, especially
women, tried hard to cultivate a fine
emphatic jargon. For example, here it
appears to be thought rude and coarse
sort of thing to speak OF q woman of
education and position as woman; You
must speak of her always as "lady."
Mrs. Brown is charming lady; Miss
Black is a beautiful lady, and so on. In
England this sort of phraseology is
usually relegated to the lady's maid
and the footman. Educated and we'll.
bred English people will always say
Mrs. Brown is charming woman; Miss
Black is beautiful woman. One had
rather hear an English woman break
into little word OF slang, than hear her
spoil our pure and noble Saxon speech,
SO sweet and hOme-like in its simple,
natural strength, by overrefnement OF
language and the spurious graces OF q
superficial gentility. If tho astonish.
ing huency and brilliancy of the Amer.
lean woman g talk could only find ex.

people in England, the charming talke,

conversationalists of the modern world

An Important Postal Order.

In the May number of the United
States Postal Guide there is published
an order of the first assistant postmaster
general, forbidding postmasters to allow
One person to call for list Of names,
keeping others in waiting, and directing
them to require the person attempting
to go through list, to fall back and
come up in the rear Of others after calling
for single name, and in the most explicit
terms postmasters are forbidden to keep
general callers waiting in order to pick
out the mail for an indefinite number of
persons. They are required to treat such
person calling as one person, ard require
them, when served, to pass on and give
others a chance. The postmaster general
holds that to permit one person to call
for list of names, gives those embraced
in the list an undue advantage and dis
courage the renting of boxes, and takes
that much from the postal service, as all
money raid for box rent goes to the gov.
ernment and not to the postmaster.
