CARELESS SPEECH.

Conversation as fine art has fallen
much into neglect. We seem to be re-
lapsing into IA belief that speech is merely
a medium of exchange, aud that so long
as the meaning is clear, it matters little
if the vehicle be crude. But it is u mis-
take to think that we can use language
with slap-dash incoherence, and convey
our thoughts unimpaired. The relation
between thought and expression is so
close that one cannot be Independent of
the other, and this connection is so vital
that when an idea becomes extinct in
language the word that expressed it
withers and falls away, unless the word
happened to find employment in express.
ing u new idea.
Clear thinking is. of course, the first
step toward clear speaking, but inaca-
racy in the uss Of language arises less
from vagueness of thought than from a
carelessness of speech, content to bit
somewhere in the neighborhood, but
never piercing the bulls eye of the
thought. A crusade against the stupid
ity of thought that lies at the root Of
stupidity Of expression, is too helplessly
Quixotic to attempt. There is a fitness
about poor or infirm thought going
badly clothed; but there are plenty Of
people who do think. and yet who ex-
press themselves in manner so stumb-
ling as to distort completely their mean
ing. Not realizing the beauty and rich
ness Of the language that is open to us,
we yet insist on limiting ourselves TO n
certain class of rough Saxon words,
making them do yeoman service. and
forcing upon them mass OF work for
which they are entirely unified, until
under this burden they lose even their
primitive strength.
An extreme development of the evil
of careless speech is the ndiscriminate
use of extravagant adjectives, so com
mon among school girls, who, with smil-
ing prodigality, expond the resources Of
the language upon mental trihes The
injustice to the lstner from this iDacu-
racy of speech is obvious However,
this is slight besides the great injustice
done to the language itself, in which we
have only life interest," and which We
must pass on to tho generation following
us. We have no right TO abuse the Ian.
guage we have inherited, for the traces
of our handling will surely endure

For instance corn is worth in
Memphis 70 cents per bushel, in

1t is so cent per bushel, and cotton
IS worth ten cents per pound; SO it
takes eight pounds OF cotton to
purchase one bushel of corn.

Two Great Stallion s.

On the old Harper farm in Ken
tucky are two horses that were
famous on the turf and now gain.
ing new glory through the achieve
ments Of their SONS. Longfellow
and Ten Brock were among the
greatest racers at all distances
ever seen in America, and Leona-
tus, son of Longfellow, and Drake
Carter, son Of Ten Brock, have
found no superior5 this year
among the horses OF their age
The eccentricities Of the Harper
family have interfered somewhat
with the brilliant successes which
would otherwise have been attain
ed long ago by these two stations.
Old John Harper, The original
owner Of Longfellow, was one Of
the quain est characters that ever
appeared on a raca-course. So
densely ignorant that he had never
heard Of the poet whose name was
given to the colt by a better in
formed friend, and always sup
posed that the unusual length, size
and power Of the animal had
caused the choice. He was so
fond Of the colt that he would
never set a price on him, and re-
fused an offer Of $4,000. Lone
fellow was out Of his sight scarce
" a moment either day or night.
He slept in his stable. Nothing
that he could do was too much for
the stately creature whose devoted
slave he was. And the horse well
repaid the loving service layished
upon him. No nobler animal
ever appeared on an American
race-course. His courage, his
speed and his endurance were all
phenomenal. When Longfellow
broke down in his second great
race with Harry Bassett, but ran
to the end with unAinching forti-
tude, though suffering intense
agony, The old mans heart seemed
to break too. Weak, worn and
sorrowful, he went back to his
kentucky farm with the magnif-
cent wreck Of the superb race
horse. He did not live long If
terward.
The breeding farm has been
managed in a peculiar way, no
effort being made to attract pat
ronage, and churlisbness and care
1essness often tending to repel it..
Iongfellow and Ten Brock have
at times been left entirely in the
care Of reckless little negro boys,
and the two thoroughbreds, worth
tens OF thousands Of dollars each,
have been used by the urchins to
ride after the COWS. But in spite
of these disadvantages and draw
backs, the surprising value Of the
two horses as. stations is shown
by the appearance Of such three
year-olds as Leonatus and Drake
Carter in a single season.

How He Managed.

Brown" " said a neighbor to him
one day, Il don't see how it is that
your girls marry off as soon as they
get old enough, while none OF mine
can marry.
''ob' that's simple enough he re-
Piled 81 marry my girls off on the
wheat straw principle"
But what principle is that {?
Never heard Of it before
"Well, L used to raise a good deal
of wheat, and it puzzled me to know
how to get rid Of the straw. Nothing
would eat it and it was bother to
me. At last I thought of a plan.
L stacked my straw nicely, and built
a high rail fence around it. nv cat
tie OF course concluded that it must
be something good, and at once tore
down the fence and began to eat the
straw. I drove them away, aud put
up the fence a few times: but the
more 1 hunted them off the more
anxious they became to eat the straw
and eat it they did, every bit Of it..
As I said, I marry my girls of on
the same principle. When a young
man I don't ikebegins to call on nv
girls | encourage him him in every
way I can. Z tell him to come often
end stay as late as he pleases, and
take pains to hint to the girls that
think they had better set their caps
for him. 1t works first rate. He
doesn't make many calls, for the
girls treat him as cooliy as they can.
But when a fellow that like comes
around, man that l think would
suit me for a son-in-law. ] don't
let him make many calls before
give him to understand that he isn't
wanted about my house. tell the
girls, 100, that they shall not have
anything to 90 with him, and give
them orders never to speak to him
again. The plan always works exact
ly as I wish. The young folks be-
gin to pity and syinpasbize with
each other ; and the next thing
know they are engaged to be mar
ried. When I see they are deter
mined to marry, Of course, give in
and pretend 10 make the best Of it
