Fastidious speech.

To the initiated there is no surer mark
Of thorough culture and good breeding
than a certain Righteousness Of speech,
concerning which Harper's Bazaar very
aptly asks: How many people are there
who pronounce any proportion Of their
words corret tly. not merely by reason of
clipping and mounting. but by ignorance
OF good usage2 We lind them everywhere.
and lay the accent on the first instead Of
on the second syllable Of accIimate, for ex-
ample; they pronounce the second syllable
of acoustics, coo. instead OF COW; they do
not put the accent on the last syllable of
adept, as hey should do; they leave the u
sound out Of buoy; they pronounce duke
with the sound of 90 instead Of with the
simple long U, emphasize the first instead
of the second syllable of eneryate, and
sound the in often.
They are astouished to know that pre-
cedence has he accent on the second sylia-
BILE, and piacsrd on the last: that quay il
called key. that sough is suf; that the q
instead Of the sound is to lie given in sac
rifsee. and the reverse in rise. that subtitle
and subtle are two different words; that
the last syllable of tortoise is pronounced
its" instead of rus" that it should be

studies of the day to be dropped. and a Lit.
tie hard work on the dictionary put in

1t was his presence of mind, when ar
rested and imprisoned by the Prussian
government on suspicion of befriending
unhappy Poland, that taught DIR. Howe
What to do with the important papers he
| carried. In the minute during which he
was left alone, before the officials came
to search him, he thrust the documents
up into the hollow head of a bust of the
| king of Prussia which stood on shelf
then tore some unimportant papers into
the smallest possible fragmeHs and
threw them into a basin of water which
stood close at hand.
Next day the fragments carefully
pasted together were shown to him,
hours having been spent in the painful
and laborious task, but nobody thought
of looking for more papers in the head
of the King Friedrich Wilhelm.
DR.. Howe. though nothing could BIO
proved against him. might have Ian
guished long in that Prussian prison had
it not been for the exertions of fellow
countryman. This gentleman had met
him in the street the day before, had
asked his address and promised to call
on him. Inquiring for him next day at
the hotel, he was told that no such per-
son was or had been there. Instantly
suspecting foul play, this good friend
went to the American minister and told
his story. The minister took up the
matter warmly and called upon the
Prussian officials to give up his country
man. This, after repeated denials of
any knowledge of the affair, they at
length reluctantly consented to do. He
was taken ont of prison at night, placed
in carriage and driven across the Dor
der into France, where he was dismissed
with warning never to set foot in
Prussia again.-Laura T. Richards in
