Men Like Shoes.

The Ingenuity displayed in the following
would have helped to make good sermon=
How much a man Is IKE old shOesl
For instance both soul may Iosei
Both have been tanned, both are made tight
By eobhIers- Both get left andright,
Both need = mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet
They both need heefing; oft are sold,
Andhoth in time ali Turn to mold
With shoes the last is first with men
The first shall be the last, and when
The shoes wear out they're men dead. tool
They both are trod upon, and both
YIN tread on others, nothing loath;
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished IN the world To shine;
and both peg out-and when you choose
To be n man or be his shoes7

The Voeables of Shakespeare.
The Modern Argo.

We have recently examined a brief paper on the vocabulary of Shakespeare
 which contains many interesting and surprising facts. Its author is Prof. James D. Butler. of Madison. Wisconsin formerly professoro Greek in the uni versi,y of that city, highly cultivated gentleman of great literary industry and well known to many of OUT prominent citizens, and recently the gues, of Mir. Henry Shaw. The paper is intended rather to group the results of extensive reading upon the subjec, than to present an exhaustive criticism. and it bristles with points ofkeen interest, and of which thousands of the ordinary readers of Shakespeare are wholly ignorant In- deed, we may add, that any adequate appreciation of the marvellous genius of the poet is impossible without some ac- quaintance with the facts presented by Prof. Butler. The copiousness of the Shakespearian vocabulary and the extra ordinary felicity which marks the language assigned 10 each chararter and made suitable to it, and to no other, have often been observed. but our wonder is in- creased when we view the results of analysis and research. Thus there are in Shakespeare's works quotations from
 seven foreign tongues, and those from
 Latin number one hundred and thirty
 two, and the total vocabulary embraces more than twenty-four thousand words. Mllton's vocabulary comprises somewhat over seventeen thousand words, and Homer's. including both Iliad and Odyssey. is scarcely nine thousand. In Dante's Divina Commedia there is less than six thousand, which is also about the number in the English Bible, as re- corded by Mir. G. P. Marsh. Creeden's Concordance gives somewhat over seven

 Dash 1t. I'll save her life .r said the malor suddenly.
 The major had just laid covering oi snow-white father on that tract of chin which was still sacred from the incur sions of his luxuriant beard As he gave vent to this remarkable resolution he in- adverten,ly wounded himself with his ra- zor. so as to compel resort to d towel and cold sponging, which put an end 10 his reflections tor d time.
 Malor Malorbanks was an active, eieaniy-built man, rather below the aver age height He had an eye like hawk $, beautiful hair and whiskers, but no other striking feature. His feet and hands were small and hnely-formed. and iron, tooth which nature had taken from him had been exquisi,ely supplied by the hand of art.
 The great feature of the majors char acter was determination when he said a thing he meant II. In the Crimea. if Ma LOT AaJorbanks had said that a post should be carried its fall was looked up on as certain. Zerlina, the majors vi- cious little mare, knew ii was useless to try and refuse if once her master put her head straight for an obstacle. Like the late MT. Assheton Smith, he would qui- etly ride for fall,' if the leap were inn practicable without one; and no one knew better how 10 fall deftly than the major.
 But life spent, as il were, in success sion of pitched battles. does not pass without leaving marks of wear and tear. and the major after his third bottle oi hair dye, began to take very serious views of life. Short and decisive were his ruminations, and with characteristic promptness he determined on marriage as his next achievement. For this pur- pose he selected young lady of remark able wealth and considerable personal attractions, and devoted himself to the sacrifice like second lphigenia-barring the sex.
 Perhaps 1t was the very difficulty of the achievement that impelled the daunt- less major to the attack. Diana Hartford had already refused two baronets. a banker, and four minor dei,ies before the majors appearance in the field, and still continued to ride across the country with as much enthusiasm as if her whole life was to be devoted to that occupation. People began to say that she would never marry.
 @The right man has not spoken,r was the general opinion; and the major, as he gnawed his mustache, resolved with an inward oath, that he would prove himself that man, or perish in the at tonpt
 Not that the major was wholly devoid of that impractical machine called a heart. Down in a little villa near a country village lived a little lady of
