Parasites of Speech.

The duty each of us owes to his
mother-tongue should constrain him to
seek diligently after the best ways OF
clothing ideas. If there is better
fashion of speech than our own, we
should not be content until it is ours.
Slovenly language is more disgraceful
than slovenliness of apparel. The
great and grievous error in home and
school education is that children are
allowed to speak as they like. The
house-mother who wages continual
war with flies, barricades her windows
against mosquitoes, and would go into
mysteries at the suggestion of the red
Bedouin of the sleeping-room, allows
her children to double negatives, con-
tract provincialisms, and enwrap their
daily talk in slang as with garment.
She was wise woman who insisted
that her children should give neat and
definite expression to what they had
in their minds to say. If they began a
sentence it must be finished.
"What you think, you can say"
was her rule. "The sooner you learn
to say it well the better"
It goes without saying that as men
and women they were admirable talk
ers, never taking refuge in "What-you'
may-calllems" and "I-don't-know-
what's" "You-knows" and "Tt-seems.
tonnes"
The pains given to the cultivation OF
the parasitical gibberish we call
slang" if rightly bestowed, would
make charming takers of our boys
and girls. There is as little wit as
euphopy in willful mispronunciation
of words, nor does the substitution OF
cabalistic phrases for Ineligible Eng,
lish add piquancy to sentence or par
agraph. If the truth were known
few slang-venders ore on sufficiently
intimate terms with their mother.

Personal Contact.

One of our recent journals made allu-
sion to the fact that Helen Chalmers, q
daughter or granddaughter of the great
Scotch divine, makes her residence
among the lowest of the poor in Edin-
burgh, that she may do what she can
to reclaim fallen men and women.
This topic came up for discussion In
one of our city parlors not long ago,
and one of che ladies interested in 1t
insisted that there is as much need of
mission work among what are known
as the higher classes as among the
lower classes; that there is as much
moral degradation among so-called re-
fined and educated people as among
the "great unwashed;D and that. q
young lady who wishes to elevate her
kind need not descend from her station
in life, however lofty, to find chances to
raise the fallen, to lift the degraded, to
instruct the ignorant, to enlighten the
benighted.

is called the chest society" indorse this
view, and we commend it to such IS

The right thing may become wrong

Look we'll to the time of doing any
thing; there is a time for all things.
Choose the right time for saying things.
If your wife looks wearied and worn

tell her that the dinner is not hot, OF
that the bread is sour. Comfort her
cheer her up.
If you are annoyed or veXed at peo'
pie, Just remember it is not the right
time to speak. Close your mouth
shut your teeth together firmly, and
it will save you many a useless and un'
availing regret and many a bitter enc
