AN AMERICAN LANG UAGE.
Not Likely That English VIII Ever lie
Relegateh.

RELOCATED.
That there will ever be any broad
divergence between the English lam
guage and American speech, such, for
example. as differentiates the Portu-
guese from the Spanish, is now alto
gether unlikely. A divergence as wide
as this has been impossible since the
invention of printing, and it is even
less possible since the schoolmaster
has been abroad teaching the same A
3 c in London. New York, Sydney
and Calcutta. Although it has ceased
absolutely to be British, the chief liter
allure of North America is still English,
and must remain so, just as the chief
literature of South America is still
Spanish. Senior Juan Valera, declaring
this truth in the preface of his delight
full ''Pepita Nimenez," reminds us that
the literature of Syracuse, of Antioch
and of Alexandria was as much Greek
literature as was the literature of
Athens" In like manner we may re-
call the fact that Lucan, Seneca, Mar
tial and Quinctilian were all of them
Spaniards by birth.
That any one country shall remain or
become at once the political, financial
and literary center of the wide series
of Anglo-SaXon states which now en-
circle the globe is almost equally I'M
likely. But we may he sure that that
branch of our Anglo Saxon stock will
use the best English and will perhaps
see its standards of speech accepted by
the other branches, which is most Wig.
orous physically, mentally and moral
ly, which has the most intelligence,
and which knows its duty best and
does it most fe Observation-Disclosures Mat

Ground for Suspicion.

The French have proverb. "Qui
s'excuse, s'accuse," he who excuses
himself, accuses himself. This was ev-
identity in the mind of NJ de Solilhac,
whose amusing account of his ride in a
diligence is quoted by the Baron ou
Casse in his volume of Souvenirs.
My companion in the coupe was a
litigant who was going to Neufchater
to sustain lawsuit against NJ de Hol-
lande, of Amiens, who demanded of
him the payment of debt, and who
repudiated as false the receipted bill
which my companion showed
He gave me the argument in his de-
Tense to read, and | had no sooner
looked it over than FASTENED to put in

exclaimed with considerable feeling
that in taking this precaution did him
an injustice.

your defense. Youths Companion.

that he overwhelmed the poor little
woman in a torrent Of words. Then,
too. she was half in love with him al
ready. and secretly admired his con-
summate cheek. Finally he left his
card, begging to be allowed to call,
having obtained her assurance that she
would think over the matter of free
pardon.
Less than week after all this came
a note for him:

Nick went 90 that five o'clock tea,
and 20 many other five o'clock teas and
other functions at the same address.
The result OF all these visits is that an
argument has sprung up between them.

Then softly whisper unto me,

The kind truth never hurts nor harms,
But sets the heart aglow.
So come with light and warmth and cheer
To meet me every day.
Reflect 10 me the worlds bright smiles,

Oh hast thou sorrows Of thine owui
Have others injured theef
Unburden as thou wilt, thou'lt feel
My tender sympathy.
Hut IL some cruel needless tongue
Has uttered words OF hate
With justice or injustice cursed
My errors, hesitate
Before thou tell'st me what will bring
but shadows In my life.
God knows we all have need Of love
To calm our secret strife!
II thou canst tell me something kind
That has been thought or spoken,

However vain II seems:
For would fain be trustful still,
Nor wake from lies sweet dreams.
