An apology for Slang.

In elang humor or implied fun satire OF
some sort is more or less an element. For
example, when q gentleman, who is in
clined to talk somewhat tediously upon
a subject which he has at heart, and on
which his hearers don't care to listen, is
told to shire hall, he is generally able
to see some satire and the others some
fun in the recommendation. Slang has,
in many cases, pith and pungency
which makes it not only pardonable, but
tulerable. 1t often expresses a feeling,
if not a thought, of the passing day,
which could not be so forcibly expressed
for the day-in any other phraseology.
1t is generally evanescent; but some
times it endures and becomes part of
the recognized vocabulary of n language.
For example, the word mob was origin
ally slang. 1t is supposed to be con-
traction-the first syllable of mobile
ralgus, a scornful phrase for the lowest
order of common people. Tandem,
also, was originally G sllng word. 1t is
Latin for sat length" but as applied to
driving two horses at length instead of
abreast, it is inst such Latin as num-
quamanimus for ''neye2 mind" Another
slang word, swell, meaning grand, fine,
pretentious, is now perceptibly passing
into tho recoguizsd vocahu airy of good
usage. 1t is very convenient and ex-
pressive word, and is now used by the
eest speakers OF English without hesita-
hon. 1t can hsrslly fall to appear in
''the dictionary" of the next generation.

the rich tones OF fine Stradivarus OF
