n BLACK is WHITE.
A Seemingly IncontrOvertible Argument
from EtymoIogy.

The word black (Anglo-Sayon Hac,
blaze. bleak, is fundamentally the same
as the old German blGch, now only to
be found in two or three compounds,
as Blachfeld, level or plain; Blach-
mahl, the scum which floats on the top
when silver is melted, and Blachfrost,
and it meant originally "level, "bare,"
and was used to denote blackness, be-
cause blackness is apparently bare Of
color. But the nasalized form of black
is blank. which also meant originally
bare, and was use to denote whiteness,
of color. The same word was used to
denote the two opposite things. From
which it would seem that black is white.
To any one who shall point out flaw
in this genealogical argument | shall
endeavor to be grateful, provided he
does not disturb the very satisfactory
conclusion. This l should naturally
resent. 1t may help him to a conclu-
sion and serve as a further support to
my contention to point out that biGc in
Anglo Saxon actually means white"
as well as "black," so that it is not in
it's nasalized form only that the same
word is employed to express opposite
things. Why is this, unless tina. to the
primitive mind both white and black
appeared to agree in being bare or
void of color, and for that reason to
deserve the same name? And here l
can not help harboring suspicion,
suggested by the Old German Blach-
frost (Which appears to be nearly OBJ
solete. or only used in some localities)
that our "black frost" meant originally
frost bare of accomplishments, as
boar, rhine, and it is coincidence only
that it should be black in color and
blacken the vegetation. Bat we have
long lost hold of the original meaning
and believe it to refer to the COLOR
Notes and Queries.

Attempted Suicide a Crime.

A recent report of the New York
Board of Health furnishes some facts
of interest as to the number of suicides
in that city since September. 1881.
when the law went into force making
an attempt at suicide crime. Prior
to that date the number of suicides in
New York was at the annual rate OF
IA to million of inhabitants. During
the last eight years the number has not
increased, although the population has
been steadily increasing. While the
number of suicides by the use of fire.
arms has decreased, there has been a
cantemporaneous increase in the num-
DER of deaths by poison. This in
dictates a predetermination on the part
OF those in whom the suicidal mania
was most strongly pronounced that
there must be no chance of failure, the
thought being that such failure might
subject them to the punishment pre-
scribed by the penal code. 1t is a sig
niticant fact that of those who have
committed suicide during the last eight
years two-thirds were of foreign birth
aud one-third native.-Philadelp

LOVE IS LIGHT.

"At eyentide it shall be light"
My little girl. so brave by day,
Grows timid as the shadows fall.
L can not charm her fears away;
Ny reasons have no force at all
She peads, with all her childish might,
That she may have light.
1 calm her fears. and stroke her hair;
tell her OF the angels near
OF God. whose love is everywhere,
And Christ, TO whom each child is dear.
She hears. but only clasps me tight,
And begs me for light.
But when say 1t can not be.
And strive to make her understand
Just why, she makes another plea
That will stay and hold her hand.
She whispers, as we kiss goodnight:
That's better than light"
And thus, content, she falls asleep.
My clasp grows closer on her hand;
Musing: Cod doth His wisdom keep
In childish lips. l understand
That, in that other. darker night,
Ills love that makes it light
j, too. have shrunk in childish dread
From that dumb darkness that doth creep
And thicken round the dying bed,
And, fearful, felt could not sleep
Without light understand,
IT'S light 10 hold Loves hand.
