she journeyed toward her old home.
Arriving in the neighboriIood, she
sent for old Hannah, who gave her the
particulars of her fathers condition,
and together thev had many an anxious
discussion rs to what was best to be
done.
DE doctor say it wouldn't do fer you
ter go ter sec him. He is so sot again
yer Ter havin' de captain; der shock oh
seem yer might kill him." Hannah
said on one of those occasions. But

name is, nohow, en- she kin take de
baby ober dar, en- maybe marster'll

Thus it was arranged, and the next
day when Sugy- Honey did not appear
as usual, Col. Henson seemed restless,
and finally asked where she was.
Il dun hireu her out to nus"
answered Hannah. Il taut she might
es well be maxim er little somethin' Sc

Col. Henson said no more, but he
evidently missed the willing hands
and feet and the CHEEKY presence to
which he had been SO long accustomed.
As he sat on the porch that evening, a
silent, disconsolate figure, he heard a
jolly laugh and baby's pretty cooling.
1t proved to be Sugy-Honey and her
new charge.
The baby was a lovely little fellow,
just beginning to prattle. When Sugy-
Honey put him down from her lap he
toddled in the most matter-of-fact way
to Col. Henson, put his hands on the
coloners knees and chatted necessarily
in his pretty, lisping lingo.
The colonel soon commenced to take
little interest in farm matters; to in
quire of Jake how many of the old
negroes were still on the place; what
crops he planted, and to give some ad-
vice as to their cultivation. YET it was
plain that his day began when Sugy-
Honey came with the baby and ended
when they left. He still had no idea
who the little one really was, for all
We're afraid to tell him.

FACTS ABOUT ENGLISH.
1t Is Built Upon Two Languages We
Should lie Familiar with.


In 4 very recent volume. Race and
Language, Prof. Andre Lefevre, of
Paris, has presented critical study of
the origin OF language, showing in
mastery way how the evolution of
tongues is related to the evolution of
man. Some of his statements with ref
erence to our own language are ex-
ceedingly interesting, quoting. as he
does, statistics collected by different
individuals, Turner among them.
The Saxon element has to some ex-
tent given place to the German and
the Latin in Our languages, and out of
one Thousand words used by King AL
fred one-fifth are now obsolete. 1t has
been shown by actual counting of the
words by NJ. Thommerel that out of
forty-three thousand words thirty
thousand come from the classical lam
guages and thirteen thousand from the
German.
Now of those thirty thousand
French or Latin words" says Prof Le-
fevre, (which are entirely anglicized
in pronunciation, more than a third
are but doubles of Saxon words.
Hence there is an infinite wealth of
synonyms-that is, of expressions ap.
plicaple to the subtlest variations of
the same idea. The Teutonic element
predominates in all that relates to the
product of nature, minerals, plants,
living animals, to the structure of the
human body, to temperature, to at
mospherical phenomena, in the names
of utensils, furniture and tools. All
which marks the relations of words to
each other, articles, propositions, con.
functions. is Saxon. Politics, law, So
cial functions, wealth, 'honors, philoso-
ply art. science, trades and cooking,
derive their terms from French and
Latin. Poetry uses Saxon words by
preference, and this it is which renders
it so difficult for foreigners to under
stand; there are two languages in En-

AN APPEAL.

D hear me, cruei-hearted thief
This is my last appeal to you!
Here read the cause of all my grief,
And see the mischief that you do
You took from me my tender heart
Though you It could no profit BRING
Now mine is but an idle part:
have no heart for anything
You robbed me Of my healthful sleep.
To me the night no more brings rest:
Your haunting graces round me sweep
Whene'er my troubled pillows pressed
You stole my appetite away,
Alas! l can no longer eat;
The dining hours that sweetensd day
Have lost the charm that made them sweet
Give back, give back all these again,
And you l will forever bless;
For me to live with none were vain,
While you can surely live with less
Or IL part you wish to keep,
1 yield perforce unto your might:
So hold you then my heart and sleep,
But o. return nv appetite
