MANY shade of thought awaited the
arrival Of slang expression to be ex-
pressed. The phrase too previous"
is case in point. There is no equiv
alent for it. Every since the human
lists revived knowledge Of the classics
the learned world has admired the fine
shadings of thought to be found in the
Greek language. Could the history Of
its growth be ascertaiued it would no
doubt be found that the Attic mer-
chants and sailors with their every
day slang, as well as the poets and
philosophers Of Athens, contributed to
what we now call the refinement as
well as the enlargement, OF the Greek
language.

LANGUAGE which has no growth is
indeed dead language. and if it is
really replete with life it grows from
both ends. This must be presumably
true of language so cosmopolitan as
ours. 1t is the common speech of
many lands, and subject to a great
variation of local influences. These
influences must conspire to expand the
language as whole.

A deputy marshal who returned to

Lem Burch of Hall onspiracy fame.

not living there now for a very good rea-

But the most startling spectacle that
met his astonished gaze was a grave

been dug during the night At the head
stood pine board on which was painted
his name and eptaph.

The Bachelor.

A writer in the Crawfordville Demo
crat, who must be Zone of en-" gets off
the following in reference to the many
good points of the old bachelor:
"A bachelor is a martyr who has either
from choice or by force of necessity. de
+ voted his life to the welfare of his fellow
| man at large, and he of all martyrs de-
serves the greatest share of human SYM
pathy and encouragement But. alas.
how often he is deprived of both. While
the rest of mankind are ENJOYING the
SWEET cun-.clotiun OF a woman's care, the
poor old bachelor goes forth in the dis
| charge of his irksome duties, and I'M
aided, alone he takes upon himself the
grave and responsible task of consoling
the bereaved, visiting the sick and ad-
ministering to their wants either of the
mind OF body. He is the last man to de-
sert the unfortunate, whatever may be
the occasion of their disgrace.
When the world has turned its back
upon tho unhappy victims, and the bars
OF society are raised against them, it is
then that the peculiar beauty of the old
bachelor exhibits itself in his unselfish
devotion, for like hope the charmer he
fingers still. Everywhere he goes he is
regarded as common property. The
children flock around him to hear the
pleasing stories with which he has bur
bened his memory or taxed his magma
ton for their amusement. He is the
only man in existence that never tires of
their noisy prattle and rudely pushes
them aside. He allows them to crawl
upon his knees, to pull his whiskers, to
take out his gold watch and place it to
their eals-and even to play with his
bald head, although it is usually his ten
dcrcst point. All this he patiently sub-
mits to, not because he enjoys it, but it
pleases the children, aud finally when
he is obliged by duty to leave them, he
promises to bring next time present
for each, and he does 1t for he is the
only living creature that ever keeps his
promise to a child.
The bachelor is regarded also as an
c cement OF common property in his com
mnnity and in another sphere, for when
ever mother has several marriaueable
daughters left on hand, she looks upon
the bachelor as a special dispensation of
Providence in her behalf. Even at this
consideration he does not complain. but
bears 1t meekiy. Finally when his ca
career on earth is ended, and he is about
to lie down to sleep his last sleep, there
IS need Of woman's nursing and lack of
woman's tears, but he does not com
plain. With the foftitude of the true
martyr, he bows his head in submission.

MODERN MUSIC
As Executed by the Fashionable Choir.

As Executed by the Fashionable Choir.
! A waggish friend attended certain
fashionable church on easter Sunday
where they worship God with taste and
in highly aesthetic manner, when the
choir began that scriptural poem which
! compares Solomon with the lilies of the
field, somewhat to his disadvantage. AL
though never possessing a great admira-
ton for Solomon, nor considering him
suitable person to hold up as shining
example for the Young MEMS Christion
| Association, still pang of pity was felt
when the choir, after expressing I'M
/ bounded admiration for the lilies of the
tield-which is very doubtful if they
ever observed very closely, began to tell
the congregation through the mouth of
the soprano that Solomon in all his
! glory was not arrayed." Shaightway
the soprano was REINFORCED by the bass.
| who declared that Solomon was most de-
cidedly and emphatically not arrayed-
was not arrayed. Then the alto ven
tured it as her opinion that solomon was
not arrayed, when the tenor, without a
moments hesitation, sang as if it had
been officially announced that "he was
not arrayed." When the feeling of the
congregation had been narrowed up suf-
ticiently and our sympathies all aroused
for poor solomon whose numerour wives
allowed him to go about in such a fash
ion even in that climate, the choir alto
gether in a cool and composed manner in
formed us that the idea they intended to
convey was that solomon in all hissglory
was not arrayed like one of these These
what? So long time had elapsed since
| they sang of the lilies that the thread
was entirely lost, and by "thesc" one
naturally concluded that the choir was
designated. Arrayed like one of these2
We should think not, indeed! Soloman
in PRINCE Albsrt or cutaway coat? Sol
ONION with an eyeglass and mustache, his
hair cut pompadour? No, most decided
/ ly, Solomon in the very zenith of lis
glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Despite the experience of the morning
the hope still remained that in the eve
ming sacred song might be sung in a
manner that would not excite our risi-
bilities OF iease the impression that we
had been listening to case of black
mail But again off started the nimbIe
soprano with the very laudable but
startling announcement Il VIII wash"
Straightway the alto, not to DO out
done, declared she would wash. And the
tenor finding it to,be the thing, warbled
forth he would wash. Then the deep
chested basso, as though calling up all
his fortitude for the plunge, beloved
forth the stern resolve that he also would
wash. Next short interIude on the
organ, strongly suggestive of the escap-
ing steam or splash of the waves, after
which the choir individually and collect
lively asserted the firm, mistaken resolve
that they would wash. At last they
solved the problem by stating that they
proposed to ''wash their hands In limo. |
