Sc-ap-Book Making.


Mr.. John Nicolay says that. as far back as
1857 he began TO keep scrap-books of the events
of the day, and as Abraham Lincoln became
central figure in these events few years later,
his material was exceedingly valuable for his
present work. After they became Lincoln's
private secretaries both he and Colonel Hay
devoted a part of their time to the careful
making of scrap books, which ultimately num-
bered over forty volumes. I suppose that sys-
tematic workers can find time to make scrap
hooks. but not being 8 systematic worker
/ find it impossible 1 know how i'm
portaut an addition to ones work
ing library they can be made, and several
times have started one but only to give up in
despair If managed to find the time to cut
and paste the scraps. never got the time to in
dex them, and without an index they are prac-
tically valueless. Then / compromised with my
self by getting a bellows letter file. with q
pocket for every letter in the alphabet, and into
this dashed my scraps. trying to make at least
an alphabetical arrangement of them; but
gave up even this as il made life burden.
never could read a newspaper with any satisfae-
ton, because was always looking ont for file
able articles and notes, and never had my scis-
sors by me at the right moment; or If had my
scissors the file was not at hand. AT last gave
up the attempt. and now l can read anything
without the slightest twinge. for my conscience
is not thrusting that file continually between
me and the page.

original has sometimes been an improvement,
has supplanted the old. The modern author
gets that possession of the poetical property
which is nine points of the law Campbell has
done with the well line, Like angels
visits, few and far between This Is tautolog-
ical for If the visits far between, it is need
less to say they are few. John Norris, who in
the latter half of the seventeenth century COM
pared the Toys most exquisite and strong"
which soonest take their fight to s'angels's
visits, short and bright" may never have writ
ten anything else worth the stealing, so it seems
rather cruel that he should lose the credit of
his happiest thought Later Robert Blair helped
himself to Norris's verse, altering bright" into
star between" It is probable. therefore, that
Campbell conveyed" from Blair rather than
from the original writer. In like manner. Pope
made himself free with Dryden's verse, From
grave to light, from pleasant to severe" chang
ing light into gay, and pleasant into lively; and
with Prior's "Fine by degrees and beautifully
less" in this instance altering the sense as well
as the words. But fine by defect and deli
cately weak" is an unmistakable imitation of
Prior No doubt the same thought may occur
to more than one man, and since human exper-
fence repeats itself, reflections on life are likely
to resemble each other. Gray wrote, where
ignorance is bliss, tits folly to be wise' Prior,
before him. made the proposition universal
one when he asserted that from ignorance our
comfort flows, the only wretched are the wise;'
and centuries before Prior, nameless Jew had
set it down in his book that she that lncreaseth
knowledge increaseth sorrow.'

PERPErUATING ERRORS.
Habitual Misquotstions of Many Authors
WordR.


January Atlantic.
Evidence of what may be called the intel
Iectual depravity of human nature is found IN
the tendency to follow errors of citation, even
from well-known authors
Some one happens to blunder into misquo-
tation, and the incorrect version is sure, in
little while, TO drive out the correct one from
the minds of many persons who ought to know
better. A few instances of misquotation occur
TO me- which have myself noted, and tie list
might doubt be easily heightened The frst
that comes to mind is Millions line at the con-
clusion of the Lycidas. Tomorrow to fresh
woods and pastures new" where fields Is COM
monty substituted for woods.
So slighta change as that of proposition puts
a somewhat different meaning into Ben Jonsons
memorial verse; He not of an age but for
all timep Here for is often made to replace of,
in the first clause.
We are all supposed to know our Shakespeare,
but in fact good many persons knowledge is
of the second hand sort that does not enable
them to detect misquotation. When Mr..
Booth or Mr. Irving delivers the ITO be, or not
TO be- soliiiquoy, some who hear him speak of
'sthe thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir
to- may be surprised into fancying that the ac-
tor is making slip the substitution of ills for
shocks being so common that the right word
sounds strangely. In speech and writing how
often mention is made of the ''bourn" whence
no traveller returns. Shakespeare wrote of the
traveller returns These Interpretations are
from one of the best known plays, oftenest acted
on the modern stage and from the most hack
neyed lines in it. Again, people cite from The
Merchant of Venice 1.-The man that hath no
music in his SOUL where the text has I'm him
self"
IL is curious to note that certain verses. very
familiar to us in their present shape, are plagiar-
isrns-or allowable borrowings. If you please
from older authors. The modification OF the

THE NOMINATIONs

The strain that has kept tile
popular mind i'm tension the past
week Is at last relieved. The
national convention has done its
work in good shape, and will now
take its place in history. Benjamin
Harrison for president and Levi =,
Morton for vice president, is the
ticket put up for republican support.
The delegates understood the
delicncy Of the task imposed on
them, with half score uncXccp-
tionablc candidates to choose from,
aud the friends of all these states
men to please, In the convention
the deliberations were harmonious,
but considerable heat was displayed
In the delegates rooms and ON the
hotel corridors. The man from
Maine had many ardent friends In
the convention, and there was n
wide spread feeling through the
country that he deserved the prcsi-
dency and would mako "a successful
run for the white house. But his
positive aud reiterated dccliuution
stood In the way, and after several
days dallinucc with his name 10y II
little company Of admirers, il was
withdrawn at that stutcsman's
request
The choice made Is a good one and
receives hearty commoudutiou from
republicans, Harrison comes from
good revolutionary stock, and has
sterling merit aud distinguished
services To sustain his lineage,
When the nomination was made ON
the eighth ballot Il was received
with enthusiastic acclaim, and the
verdict, "he's all rightw was heard
above the din. Beside the merit of
the candidate his influence with his
state Is to be- counted, aud this is
conhumatory of the wisdom of the
choice, Mr Morton Is a muu of
large business interests and ripe
experience In public affairs, lie

TOO Jolly BY HALF.

The California delegation to the
Chicago convention are receiving
hard knocks from the press Of their
state and severe censure generally.
They seem to have been a Jolly set
Of boys, and their intention was to
carry things with hurrah and have
a good time. They laid i'm an ample
supply Of refreshments and carried
their barkccp along. Two hundred
and fifty cases Of California wine,
stronger drinks to mix i'm and cigars
for all who asked, were spread along
a box car i'm charge Of an accom-
plishcd miXOlogist, and these good
fellows from the Pacific slope kept
open house during the entire trip.
"Blainc or bustn was their motto,
and they supposed it would require
a good head Of steam to push her
through. In the convention pro-
cepdings these members from the
Golden state made a good share Of
noise, but they did not gain much
weight i'm the deliberations, and
they finally quoted down. Their
hilarious advocacy harmed the cause
they cspouscd, and their discom-
future will be "A lesson to future
delegations from that state TO trust
less to noise and rcyelry and more
10 correct business methods. The
American people would pcrfer more
seriousness i'm the selection Of "a
presidential candidate.
