THREE ENGLISH DIALECTS.
What Might Have Been-Infiueuces Which
Modify Dur Ianruare

What Might Have Influences Which
Modify Our Language.
In recently published work, Rev. DR..
Skeate author Of the only genealogical die
tionary of the English language that has
any permanent scientific value, declares that
the whole character of the language now
spoken in England and North America
might have been changed if London had been
founded north instead Of south of the
Thames.
The statement will not seem so strange
when we recall the fact that London was the
center of literary English during the form
alive period of what may be called the
modern language Before the beginning of
that period, the dialects spoken north OF the
Thames, and now divided by students of
English into Northern and Midland" diff
fered widely from the dialect of southern
England dialect which became Literary
English" even before King Alfreds time 1t
Is now generally known as 'Anglo-Saxon,"
and with the exception of few fragments,
CLOSES and inscriptions, the entire remains
of English literature up to the time of the
Norman conquest are written in it.
These three dialects Of spoken English have
been greatly multiplied since the English
stock has been scattered over the world. and
in spite of printing and rules of pronuncia-
ton this multiplication must go on. The
laws of languages, SO far as they have been
observed, seem to make it impossible that the
same language should be spohen i'll our terri

The manistee is a fish of the size of the
sturgeon, found only in the Manistee river, in
Florida. 1t is sightless, but acute of hearing,
50 that it can discern the approach of an
enemy at distance of mile or more and
seek safety in the reeds or shoals along the
banks. 1t is speared by the negroes, by whom
it is highly priced as food, and occasionally
is TO be found in the markets of New Orleans
and Mobile, but is seldom found in this local
ity The flesh is coarse and much resembles
beef, though retaining the fishy flavor
Scientists have never been able to discover
the origin of the fish, but incline TO the belief
that it rises from some subterranean stream
or lake and has increased and multiplied in
the Manistee river, but, owing to its lack of
sight, it has not been able to make its way
into other bodies Of water, where it might
be propagGted. Chicago Journal

from a nest of lace, the head gracefully bends
down towards the instrument, and, if the
frock is not very long, the feet, which of
course are IN neat shoes and stockings, are

The American Notes and Queries has a
long paper in its last issue which discusses
the superstition Of the horseshoe 1t says:
The belief in the horseshoe attained its
greatest diffusion at the end of the last cen

his 'Miscellanies,' tells us that in his time
most houses in the west end of London had a
horseshoe nailed over the threshold. In 1915
Sir Henry Ellis counted seventeen horseshoes
in Monmouth street, but in lS4l only five OF
SIX remained Lord Nelson nailed horse

The barren fields lay bare beneath the sun,
And crimson leaves dropped downward one
by one:
The heart of nature bled, that now was done
Her labor sweet.
Her pulses beat
Slowly as tear drops fall from aged eyes,
For all the poor dead blossoms at her feet
No more would rise:
Yet gray clouds held for us a rosy dye:
Love smiled through pain on love in that
good-by
When next we met
The summer fields were green with hopes
warm tints.
The waves were shining with the golden dints
That sunbeams make, when on foam crests
each glints
In showered gold:
And wide unrolled
The carpet flower decked by nature spread
And silver arrows held with azure thread
Glanced DER the sea:
But all was gray and cold, fair love was dead,
And spring frozen waste to you and me.
