Enyland's AbOminable English.

The common people in England speak all sorts of dialectic abomina- tions, but with the exception of perhaps one man in 10000 they do not speak anything that bears any respectable re- lation to written English. The English drawling burr is quite as unintelligible and not half so musical as that brogue of the Irish which the English are so fond of ridiculing It is, on the whole, nearly as easy for an American to under stand French porter as an English one, and if the Frenchman pretends to speak English he speaks it a hundred times better than the Londoner does. When it comes to proper names, names of streets, or anything which cannot be guessed from the context, the average Londoner is as utterly unintelligible to the ear untrained to the monstrosities of his pronunciation as if he spoke Choctaw. IL is thousand pities that the English cannot be taught to speak the American language, which is 8 hundredfold more clear, more classic, more elegant and more consistent than the tongue spoken in England. cago Tribune.

Mr. Moore came for me at the appointed
time and accompanied him TO his house. He
has a beautiful and fertile valley farm and a
neat residence which is comfortably furnished.
His family consists Of his wife and a pretty lit
tie rosy-ehecked girl about six years old. We
arrived there about o'clock and sat down 70 a
good dinner. We spent the afternoon in walk
ing over the farm and looking at the live stock,
OF which there were some very fine specimens.
After supper, while enjoying our pipes, Mr..
Moore asked me if Mr. Easily had told me any
thing Of him and his father. and OF the manner
Of his fathers death. i told him that be had
not, but if he had no objection 10 telling it him
self would be glad to hear it. He then asked
his wife to put the little girl to bed. She kissed
her father good ght, but could not be induced
20 kiss the stranger.
The adjoining room in which the bed was in
sight had an opening but no shutter Frou

little girl had been clothed in her night-robe /
saw her kneel by her mother and both repeat
their prayers audibly. Mr. Moore and con-
tinued to smoke in silence until the mother
returned. She drew low stool by the side of
her husband, and resting her arms in his lap
looked up into his face as if eager to catch
every word which fell from his lips. He told
his story in plain way, eyincing neither pas
sion or excitement.
His father, who WIS over 20 years old at the
time Of his death, had been distiller for many
years His distiileTy was in an almost inacces-
sible cove in the mountains and the revenue
officers had never been able TO find it, though
they had sufficient proof to justify them in the
belief that he was engaged in a distilIery. They
had set watches on his house and used every
sort Of means to get direct proof, but had failed
One day no left his house and was riding on

was ordered to halt. He was very deaf, and
doubtless did not hear what was said and kept
on without increasing his speed lie was fred
upon and killed. His horse was taken OF and
his body left where he fell.
Tho first impulse Of the son was for ven
geance. lie consulted with Mr. Easily, who
advised him against il, and pictured 10 him the
consequences which would follow. cas- for
myself" said Mr.. Moore, 50 I took no thought,
but when thought what would become Of my
wife and child, / determined | would try TO
bear it, While saying this he placed his hand
on his wife's head. The tears streamed from
her eyes, and she laid her head for u moment
on her husbands lap. Mr.. Moore continued
the business for a short time at his fathers dis
tiileTy. and then abandoned il forever. This IS
the mOOnshiner's side Of the case rs told by
himself While no man can be justified in vi0-
lating the laws Of the land, tho laws ought to
be executed with strict justice, and without
harshness or cruelty. If the m0onshiners
story is true, it presents wrongs that ongIt to

Upon the earth stretched silently below,
And in the darkness east lis feeble light
That man might not misguided onward go.

And we should heed the works writ in the skies
