LA MORT D'AMOUR.

With leaping pulses and blood all aglow,
We dreamed about fairer life beyond.
When we should dwell together as one heart
And scarce could wait that happy time to
come.
Now. side by side we sit, with lips quite
dumb,
And feel ourselves thousand miles apart.
How was ii that love died do not know.

From our dull skies, but did not see it go.
Why should love die7 We priced it, I am
sure;
We thought Of nothing else when 1t was

1t was our all; why could 1t not enduref
Alas! we know not how. or when, or why
This dear thing died. We only know it went,
And left us dull. cold. and Indifferent

How pitiful it is and yet how true,
That half the lovers in the world one day
Look questioning in each others eyes this

And know loves gone forever, as we do!

A Cincinnati Idyl.

There is to be wedding in the West
End soon which will be the sequel to
rather romantic introduction. One
night about year ago a daintily attired
little lady got aboard one of the 7th
street cars on her way home from her
days work in an uptown office. The car
was we'll filled. and the young lady was
compelled to swing on the end of strap
for many squares. She was little bit
of body, and she had to stretch her
arms considerably to reach a strap for
support. The car gave lurch as it
turned corner, and white band made
its appearance about the little woman's
waist. AS it slowly grew larger broad
smiles made their appearance on the
faces of several of the male passengers
Feeling something was wrong, the
young lady glanced down at her waist
and at once blushed crimson with en-
barrassment Ayoung mechanic on his
way home from work was in the car,
and seeing the young lady's dilemma he
proved himself true gentleman by at
once coming to her assistance. Step.
ping between her and the other passen-
gers he said:
"Pardon me. miss, but if you wish to
adjust your skirt will screen you from
the over curious eyes of these other pas
sengers.
The little lady accepted the proffered
aid with thanks, and after that they
met nearly every evening on their way
home. Their acquaintance ripened into
something stronger than friendship. and
the closing act in this romance of car
strap" will be the wedding of these two

Errors in English.


Whether or no, in such phrases as
"The right honorable gentleman should
tell us whether or no he abides by his
declarations. mo" should, of course,
be not; "or not" however, is redun-
dant
Il should have liked to have, in
phrases such as Il should have liked to
have witnessed the eff ct upon the gen.
tleman's auditors when," etc. This
ought to be Il should like to have wit
messed. " The speakers liking is present;
it is the witnessing that is past.
Il almost think" Surely this is nom
sense, for if man does not think
thing he knows nothing about it.
"Three alternatives" Should not this
be "a course and two alternatives?"
EQUALITY" used instead of describe.
A common newspaper error and literal
translation from the French.
II don't think, in phrases such as II
shall not go to London this season. I
don't think" La les are very fond of
this construction, and are seldom pleased
to be told that they say the opposite of
what they mean, the second negative
destroying the first.
"That statement is the most unsatis.
factory of any l ever heard from that

phrase; and the Daily Neus' advertise.
ment that it has "tne largest circulation
of any paper in the world" err in the
use of the word "any, (which is properly
used of one thing only. The Daily
Ne,cs might have the largest circulation
of the newspapers, but could not have
it of one only.
"Those sort of things" instead of that
sort
Either side, in phrases such as "On
either side of the road where tall trees, :"
should be both sides.
"Quite impossib e. The quite is used
for emphasis, but it is a false use.
There can not be degrees of impossible
ity. 1t is surprising to find this phrase
in the works of the late Mark Pattison.
II never remember" A favorite
with statesmen. who are fond of declar.
ing. II never remember session of
parliament whicn began so auspi-
ciously." The "never" is used to
qualify the orators remembrance,
which is not his meaning. Let the
equivalent of II never remember, " viz.
II always forget" be substituted and
then note what the orator says
"There is no doubt but that" ,tc
"But" is not wanted, though geossally
used
"Laborious" Sg Industrious and "That
goes without a!irg" are very vile
translations from the French and much
liked by newspaper writer's
"From whence" where whence"
alone is required.
"No single operation hnd failed to-"
etc. Single" in such phrases is no
more to the purl ose than double. -

Hog Raising in the South.

1t is fair to say that in nineteen out of

previous condition of servitude of the
occupants, spare ribs, backbone, jowl,
sausage, cracking bread, and other
things incidental to Southern hog kill

bill of fare. Hundreds of our farmers
will make meat enough to do them;
many will make enough to spare for
sale, and all will save the meat of few
hogs The colored farmers are no ex-
ception to this. One is recorded who
put up 1,5OO pounds, and has hogs
enough yet to give him 1900 pounds
more. These hogs were mostly fattened
on sweet potatoes, the corn crop Of
many farms being almost an entire fail

Some the peculiarities of witnesses
are described in an article which is 60

the New York Tribune. Some Of the
mistakes and retorts of witnesses are

banl struck her with impunity, said:
"Yes. sometim es, but generally with his
fist.
Another spoke of the existence Of
family "fuel," evidently meaning feud.

York, said, in speaking of his use Of
club: 81 am willing to be let up on,
your honor, but not altogether. The
law must be dedicated; give him justice

a question as to what was done with
persons who swore falsely, said: "They

older, told the magistrate of French

was the first question. "Yes, am her
son." was the reply. "Ah," muttered
the magistrate, "your mother must have
married very young.
An English jud "e had an experience
which is not fir quently repeated in
courts in this country. The witness in
relating a conversation would give the
substance, rather than the words, and
the judge, Baron Martin, started to
teach him the proper method of testify.
ing He said to the witness: my man,
tell me just what was said" ayes, my
lord. l said that l would not have the
pig" And what was his answer?"
"He said he had been keeping it for me,
and that he-' mo, no, he could not

first person. mo, my lord, was the
first person who 81 Ike. II mean don't

third person, my lord-only him and
me. " Nov, my good man, he did not
say that he had leen keeping the pig;
he said, 4 have been keeping the pig"
81 assure you, my lord, there was no
mention of your lordship at all. We

third person there, and if there had been
anything said about your lordship's
keeping the pig, must have heard it :"
The witness was allowed to finish his
story in his own way.

Mans Face,

The two sides of the human face are
not exactly alike, and German biologist
asserts that the lack of symmetry is. as
a rule, confined to the upper parts of
the face. In two cases out of five the
eyes are out of line, and seven persons
out of every ten have stronger sight in
one eye than in the other Another
singular fact is that the right ear is
almost universally shorter than the left,
not only little shorter, but enough to
show even in inexact measurement

The overcrowded Learned Professions.

The Overcrowdod Learned Professions.
There are two other nations in Europe
who are beginning to complain of an
excess of supply over the demand and
needs in the learned professions In
both Denmark and Greece the rapid
growth of a Learned proletariat, an
unemployed class of technically edu-
Gated men, is being viewed with some
thing like alarm. Down to the year
1860 the number of students in the Uni
versity of Copenhagen averaged about
165, and this was sufficient for all needs.
In 1870 the number had already in
creased to 217, and now it is 414. AS
the total population is only 1000, 900,
the professions are being more than
overcrowded. The status is a similar
one in Greece. Although the popula-
ton is only about 100000. yet the
number of Greek students at the univer-
sites of Athens and of Germany, Italy,
Spain, England, and France exceeds 700.
The interests of the modern Greeks for
church and school, sciences and arts,
are unsurpassed by any other nation.
Scarcely week passes in which the
papers of Athens do not bring intelli-
gence of larger private gifts for these
purposes from wealthy Greeka
